Feingold Says He’s Troubled By Clinton’s Use Of Private Email Server

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shouldn’t have conducted U.S. State Department business on a private e-mail server, according to U.S. Senate candidate Russ Feingold.

“I’m troubled by that, of course. It was a mistake. She shouldn’t have done it,” he said Thursday, in response to the FBI’s decision not to recommend criminal charges against Clinton, but admonish her as being “extremely careless.”

But Mike Duffey, executive director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, said Democrat Feingold should be more critical of Clinton.

“This is not just a mistake,” he said. “It’s something that risks national security that we don’t understand the consequences of, if the security was breached.”

Duffey defended congressional Republicans questioning of FBI director James Comey on Thursday, but Feingold said the GOP attacking Comey is “absurd.”
