Campaign Says FBI Interviewed Hillary Clinton About Her Emails While She Was Secretary of State

I saw Loretta Lynch talk about that. I have no reason to not believe her.

Why should we trust Loretta Lynch? That is not how the law works.
DOJ should be above reproach.

But the "interview" took place at FBI headquarters.

It keeps saying she was interviewed in her Washington home. Maybe I am reading it wrong. But no matter what place, my advise is the same.

Odd answer. I said I personally believed what she had to say about the matter.

An aide said the interview occurred at FBI headquarters in Washington Saturday morning and lasted approximately three and a half hours. The FBI declined to comment on the interview.

The meeting means the investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server for official business as secretary of state is coming to an end. The question now becomes how long it will take for the FBI to conclude its probe.

Sources familiar with the investigation had previously told CNN the Justice Department's aim was to wrap up before the Republican and Democratic conventions later this month. The timing is crucial, because if Clinton were to be indicted before the convention, Democrats could perhaps nominate another candidate.

And yes, I would imagine she had lawyers present, even though the interview was no under oath.

Which line was that? All I've seen in the articles is they interviewed her about emails while she was SecState. Not that they interviewed her while she was SecState about her email.

It is in the OP link.

Campaign says FBI interviewed Hillary Clinton about her emails while she was secretary of state .

This is huge, really... unless I am reading this wrong. It is a very odd
news blip, but the implications are that Hillary Clinton has been under
investigation by the FBI going all the way back to when she was still Secretary.

So if donating money to politicians to gain favors is legal then wouldn't accepting them also be legal? What's with hating on Hillary on accepting donations if you don't hold Trump to the same standards as a donor?

Should I expect you to ignore Hillary's paid speeches from now on since it's totally legal for her to get paid for them? Or are the rules somehow different for Trump compared to Hillary?

I don't think it is odd to expect that the DOJ should
be above reproach in enforcing the law.

I don't think she knew it was happening and wished that it had not:

"I certainly wouldn't do it again," she said about the meeting with Clinton, lamenting that it has "cast a shadow" over the investigation.

In a light moment during the Aspen Institute Forum, the moderator asked Lynch to name one thing her predecessor Eric Holder didn't tell her about being attorney general.

"Where the lock on the plane door was," she joked, drawing a lot of laughs from the crowd.

Fox News

Often times people use humor to tell an uncomfortable truth.

Besides, she never said that the only talked about grand kids and golf.

No, the implication is that the FBI interviewed her about her email usage while she was SecState. I understand where the confusion comes from, but that's all it is: confusion.

Do you honestly think if the bureau had the Secretary of State at FBIHQ or agents showed up at State to interview a sitting Secretary, not one person would have leaked that? Not one?

The simple fact Clinton's lack of professionalism allowed enemy nations (Iran, Russia) the opportunity to access Top Secret information and doesn't remove herself as a presidential hopeful only shows her unfit for office.

Just think of the blackmail potential if nothing else.

The fact Obama's administration isn't forcing the hand of the DoJ shows how and why we have gotten this far. Further, it shows this current administrations poor decision making by making her SoS. That said, it wasn't like he had a choice seeing how the back room deals that lead him to be president was on most certainly tied to Clinton receiving the position she did.

Traitors, the whole lot of'em.

Sadly our alternative is the crook that is Trump. How did America become so #ed?

All of those nations accessed top secret information from multiple places and probably before Hillary Clinton.

So did our government. Even from allies.

Well, I see your point...but it is confusing. I suppose they could
not be bothered to print something with a second line.




ETA: to clarify, I think they need a few English lessons too.

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

TY. Maybe it was a press interview at her home after.

Oh, well then I guess that means it's ok for Hillary to have done what she's done.

Never mind folks, other people did it too.

Hillary, you can go ahead and be president now.

a reply to: Shamrock6

Keep in mind, all the "statements" and "info" are coming from the Clinton Campaign.

Known liars all the way through this scandal.

a reply to: reldra

YW. Cheryl Mills met Hillary at her home after the interview, maybe that's where your confusion (on this part of the story) came from?

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

I did not say that. It has not been proven her emails were accesed by 'enemy nations'. The only article I saw was that some Russian websites had 'talk' that they had her emails.

I have also seem multiple omputer security experts state her email server was just as secure as her .gov email. .gov emails have been hacked.

a reply to: burntheships

Agreed. It's a very poorly worded phrase, but I think that's all it is. And I agree it would be massive if they had interviewed her while she was the sitting secretary. I just think that it would be massive enough there's no way it could've stayed a secret.

I know everybody likes to poo-poo the feebs, but people forget the bureau loves publicity. They revel in it. They're all for keeping a secret when it suits THEM to do so, but they're not at all against holding a press conference or issuing a press release when it suits THEM to do so.

Just my two cents.

Since Loretta Lynch has stated she will accept the recommendation she receives, the point is moot anyway.

Indicted or not indicted, Clinton could lose politically

WASHINGTON No matter how the FBI investigation into the handling of sensitive information on Hillary Clinton’s personal computer server ends, it likely will hurt her presidential bid.

Good!, but how much is the question.

Clinton was interviewed by the FBI Saturday for three-and-half hours at its headquarters in Washington, according to her campaign, suggesting the inquiry is nearing its end

The year-long investigation is expected to conclude in the coming weeks, though it could take longer, leaving open the probability it will cast a shadow over Clinton as she accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in Philadelphia this month and launches her general election campaign against Republican Donald Trump.

If that server had been wearing a hoodie. It would have already been over.

I should make more use of the /sarcasm I suppose.

As for the FBI, it is what it is. They are one of the last
to stand against the incoming tide of something wicked this way comes.
IMO. Not saints but people doing their job.

From what I can discern, the FBI attempts to stay out of Politics,
at least they try.
