Hillary Clinton should be prosecuted over emails

I would just like for someone to respond to this question. Who is keeping our nation's law enforcement personnel, from the nation's attorney general to the director of the FBI, from arresting and prosecuting Hillary Clinton for her blatant disregard for her actions of abuse of the classified emails she has been proven to possess?

If this tying of hands has been directed by "King Obama," he should be immediately impeached! Just google "classified email abuse," and one can see what happened to other persons (who are not rich or politically affiliated) who have misused classified information.

If this criminal Hillary Clinton is allowed to run for president, we have become such a narrowly focused society that finds it more important to have a woman president or a democratic president who is solely focused on maintaining all of the entitlement programs that keep welfare programs alive.

We are approaching five generations of people who only know that a check will appear in the mailbox to keep them functioning. There is no more pride to be an American if one stands behind a crook like Hillary.
