"The four-count indictment charging her with theft of government property, concealment of a public record, and altering a record in a federal investigation. The indictment does not allege she sent Volume II to anyone outside DOJ — no journalist, no co-conspirator, no foreign power. So it’s an entire federal case is built on a lawyer emailing herself a PDF."

A federal grand jury in Florida on Wednesday indicted 94-year-old former Cuban President Raúl Castro on charges of murder and conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals.
The charges stem from orders he allegedly gave as defense minister in 1996 to shoot down two civilian rescue aircraft that were searching for Cubans fleeing the island on rafts.
The downing of the planes killed three U.S. citizens and one U.S…
