Launching a renewed investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state would not run afoul of the Constitution’s double jeopardy clause, which bans prosecution twice for the same crime, experts say.
“The double jeopardy clause ban only applies to prosecutions, not investigations. So there is no constitutional bar to reopening the investigation,” said Susan Herman, a professor at Brooklyn Law School and president of the American Civil Liberties Union.
