If you think the HRC email scandal was a miscarriage of justice why is there no redress of grievance being demanded?

Within the Bill of Rights we have this little gem: "The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law ... prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances."

If a petition were to be sent to the White House (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/) would you sign it? How would you word it?

It is. There are House Sub-Committees and at least a half dozen Washington watchdog organizations who are far from letting this matter go away.

Well, with the FBI and the WH stating that since she wasn't sworn in under oath and didn't intend to commit any wrong doing, I don't think a petition to the WH has a snowball chance in Hell.

The problem with that procedure is it does not require action only a response from the administration .

Have you read the official responses from the petitions on that site?

It also got to the point that they needed to raise the number of signatures required to respond.
I stopped going there when I realized that it was essentially a joke and that the majority of petitions were things not relevant or appropriate for the Executive Branch to action or comment on.
