Let the games begin!
I'll kick it off with what will probably be rehashed over and over: Hillary Clinton's e-mails.
Hillary Clinton's Use Of Personal Email At State Department Raises Questions : The Two-Way : NPR
Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State ended in February 2013. Here’s what the whistle-blowing New York Times said happened later in the year:
=o= In August of 2013, the National Archives and Records Administration issued guidance stating that email records of some senior officials are permanent federal records.
=o= In September of 2013, NARA issued guidance on personal email use.
The NYT also buries this gem: "For some historical context," says deputy spokesperson Marie Harf, "Secretary Kerry is the first secretary of state to rely primarily on a state.gov email account."
Of course, after Wikileaks, everyone was super confident in the security of official e-mail.
Not.
From the Washington Post—
Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement Tuesday: “Like secretaries of state before her, she used her own email account when engaging with any Department officials. For government business, she emailed them on their Department accounts, with every expectation they would be retained.” Clinton “immediately said yes” when the State Department asked former secretaries last year for help preserving e-mail records, he said.
After noting Colin Powell and Karl Rove didn’t use official e-mail addresses, the story goes on to say, “Clinton was not the first secretary of state to use a private account. The State Department said Clinton’s successor as top diplomat, John F. Kerry, is the first secretary to use a standard government e-mail address ending in “’state.gov.’”

The Daily Banter probes a bit deeper –
“The federal regulations [requiring archiving] went into effect in late November, 2014 when President Obama signed H.R. 1233, modernizing the Federal Records Act of 1950 to include electronic communications. It was signed two years after Clinton stepped down.

And, even the Wall St. Journal—
“It is unclear whether Mrs. Clinton’s practice ran afoul of federal laws and regulations governing the retention of official records, which have been changing in recent years.”
