We decline to comment on the specific request raised in the petition, which falls outside the scope of the We the People Terms of Participation. You can read the full Terms of Participation to get a better sense of why We the People is designed the way it is, and to learn more about its guidelines for use.
We encourage you to use the We the People platform to petition the Administration to take action on the policy issues you care about. If a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure that it's sent to the appropriate policy experts for their review, and issue an official response.
Thanks,

Let me boil this down for you:
"We might let you blow off a little steam if you don't get too far out of line, but we really don't give a rat's butt what you think and we're going to do as we damn well please."
Big Surprise.
On the other hand, while it probably is appropriate to petition the executive branch to order the Justice Department to enforce the laws regarding classified material zealously and even-handedly in the case of US v. Clinton, it could certainly be legitimately said that indictments should not be issued by petition. To be honest, that bothers me a little bit too. Just think about how rabid, intolerant and partisan the "progressives" are about not just defeating but totally destroying their opponents and it should give you nightmares about how indictments by mob rule could be an instrument of bureaucratic terror. It's bad enough when Obama and his AG Loretta Lynch are wielding that power. Imagine what could happen if it was the Bernie Sanders demonstrators.
