If her email account was used to funnel money to the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Clinton Foundation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.clintonfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage noopener\">Clinton Foundation<\/a> in return for political favors, she should be heavily fined and forced to return the money.<\/p>\n<p>The Inspector General&#8217;s report is due out in January.
