Jane Sanders said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is innocent until proven guilty when it comes to the FBI’s probe into her use of private email when she was at the State Department, but Sanders said half jokingly the FBI could sure pick up the pace before the Democratic convention in July.

We want to let it go through without politicizing it and then we’ll find out what the situation is,” Sanders said during an interview with Fox’s Neil Cavuto.

That’s how we still feel. It would be nice if the FBI moved it along,” she said, smiling.

Jane Sanders’ husband Bernie Sanders famously said during a debate with Clinton that America was sick of hearing about those “damn emails,” but now that the race is coming to a close and Bernie Sanders looks to be taking his last stand on the trail, the email imbroglio maybe looks like a missed opportunity.
