FBI agents and federal prosecutors tasked with looking into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state have yet to find evidence that Clinton intentionally broke classification rules, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
Anonymous U.S. officials close to the investigation told the Post and CNN that interviews with top Clinton aides in recent weeks yielded no indication that Clinton willfully violated U.S. law. Longtime adviser Huma Abedin was among those interviewed, according to CNN.
“From the start, Hillary Clinton has offered to answer any questions that would help the Justice Department complete its review, and we hope and expect that anyone else who is asked would do the same,” Clinton’s presidential campaign spokesman, Brian Fallon, said in a statement to the Post. “We are confident the review will conclude that nothing inappropriate took place.”
The FBI investigation reportedly has been focused on the security of the server and whether classified information was mishandled on the server.
Once the FBI’s probe is complete, the findings will be turned over to the Justice Department, who will then decide whether or not anyone involved will face charges, according to CNN.
A federal judge also said this week that the Democratic candidate may still be deposed about her use of the server in a civil case brought by the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch.
I’m sure another couple dozen hearings and $100M in tax payer money will be needed to come to this conclusion again and again.
The wing nuts have an interesting dichotomy on their hands. On one hand, they think Hillary is going to be indicted “any day now”. On the other, they think the DOJ is corrupt and in the tank for Obama. Which one is it? You can’t have both. Except in wing nut land.
But but but…it MUST be a COVERUP…all of the Republicans with no facts or anything have deemed her guilty AND evil!
Their investigation coming to a close is the worst possible scenario. They know that she was never under investigation, but as long as the FBI had an open investigation, it was a blank canvass that they could toss any and everything upon.
Once it’s done and they come back with…“No, she wasn’t under investigation, and no, there were no laws broken”, they are only left with “the FBI is covering up!”. And that squirrel doesn’t have legs and won’t run. Anybody in Congress who reads or is forced to read the report is going to have to disavow that theory.
Well no shit, Sherlocks.
But…but…but Whitewater…Monica Lewinsky…al Qaeda.
