Sen. [crscore]Dianne Feinstein[/crscore] says that Hillary Clinton wasn’t “trying to hide anything” by using a private email server, she just wanted to have “a little bit of a private life.”
Appearing on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, guest-host Jonathan Karl said according to the State Department inspector general report, while Clinton was secretary of state, when “staffers expressed concerns about [Clinton’s email] arrangement, their supervisor quote ‘instructed the staff never to speak of the Secretary’s personal email system again.’ That sure sounds like somebody trying to hide something.” (RELATED: State Department IG: Clinton Mishandled Emails, Posed Cybersecurity Risk)
“Oh, wait a second. I don’t believe she was trying to hide anything. I’ve known Hillary for a quarter of a century. Let me tell you what I do think. I think this is a woman who wants a little bit of a private life,” Feinstein claimed. (WATCH: Napolitano: ‘Ample Evidence’ To Indict Clinton, Only Lynch Or Obama Could Prevent It)
Clinton “wants to be able to communicate with husband, with daughter, with friends and not have somebody looking over her shoulder into her emails. Having said that, it is what it is and, you know, I don’t think we should make a federal case over it,” Feinstein argued.

According to reports, some of the 22 emails “too damaging” to release from Clinton’s private email server contained top secret “operational intelligence” that put lives at risk.
