Former FBI assistant director Ron Hosko says Hillary Clinton's cavalier attitude about the agency's probe of her use of a private email server as secretary of state is an unusual response to a serious matter.
"It really strikes me as very unusual and the opposite of what you would expect. This should be regarded as a very serious manner," Hosko, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, said Monday on
Newsmax TV's "Newsmax Now" with John Bachman.

"How she or her people set this private server up from a cyber perspective is a disaster. It's an unmitigated disaster."
On Sunday, when
CNN's Jake Tapper asked Clinton about the FBI's investigation as to whether her private email account endangered national security, Clinton laughed. She continued to laugh, even when Tapper interjected.
"It makes you wonder, is this overacting, that she's going to play this role that it's so ridiculous that I'll just laugh my way through it?" Hosko said in a separate interview on Newsmax's "The Steve Malzberg Show."
"Trust me when you're dealing with sensitive national security information and classified documents, it is not a laughing matter. People have been prosecuted for this."
