There's "no surprise" in a State Department audit that
faults Hillary Clinton's email management, proving what had been clear all along – that "what she did wasn't supposed to be done," House Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Jim Jordan tells
Newsmax TV.
In an interview Wednesday with "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth, the Ohio GOP lawmaker said Americans are "probably not" ever going to get a straight answer on whether Clinton's private emails mishandled classified data.
"They seem to want to slow walk and take their time and put up road blocks all along the way," he said of Clinton, the State Deparment and Obama administration.
"So nothing new here, nothing that we didn't frankly already know that what she did wasn't the proper way to do things."

Jordan also blasted Clinton for her starkly different public and private comments – both about her private emails and her response to the 2012 attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.
"She had this arrangement with the State Department, now it looked like they're saying it wasn't supposed to be the arrangement that you're permitted to have," he said.
"Second, we know that on the night of the attacks, Sept. 11, 2012… that what she said privately was entirely different than what she told the American people."
Jordan
has been sharply critical of Clinton's response to the terror attack that killed four Americans.
"She blamed it on the video" of an anti-Islam protest," Jordan tells Newsmax TV. "What we know that she did less than an hour later in an email to her family, specifically her daughter, she said, 'we know terrorists killed two of our people tonight.'
"The next day, probably more telling, is she said to the Egyptian prime minister, 'we know the video had nothing to do with it, it was a planned attack, not a protest.'"
