It is standard procedure when interviewing for FBI not be under Oath! Trump was off base AGAIN!






Video: Trump’s Criticism of FBI

In this week’s fact-checking segment, CNN’s Jake Tapper looks at President Donald Trump’s claim that Hillary Clinton “lied many times to the FBI and nothing happened to her” — suggesting Clinton was treated differently than his former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

As we wrote, then-FBI director James Comey told Congress last year that there was “no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI.”

.......................................................

In his remarks, the president also expressed surprise that the FBI did not put Clinton under oath when she was interviewed last year about her email use while secretary of state. He claimed it was “the most incredible thing anyone has ever seen.” It’s not.


FBI policy does not require its agents to conduct interviews under oath, and three former FBI agents told us that it is standard procedure not to place interviewees under oath. It doesn’t matter, anyway, because it is a crime to lie to the FBI whether or not an oath is administered.

First notice the use of the word many,seems every comment or statement coming form a GOPer contains at least one many.


First if Clinton lied to a FBI Agent,we would have seen that ran up the flag pole with the see see told you so from Fox.
