CNN Reports FBI Has Found ‘No Criminal Wrongdoing’ in Hillary Clinton Email ‘Investigation’

CNN Reports FBI Has Found ‘No Criminal Wrongdoing’ in Hillary Clinton Email ‘Investigation’
by Tommy Christopher | 8:38 am, May 6th, 2016

For all those Hillary Clinton opponents who have been hoping against hope that the likely Democratic presidential nominee will be indicted as a result of the FBI review of Hillary’s email server, CNN has some bad news. According to CNN correspondent Pamela Brown, the FBI is close to wrapping up the “investigation,” and thus far have found “no criminal wrongdoing”

Former crypto who watched shipmates get brought up on charges for lesser breaches of security, assuredly accidental. Unfortunately they weren't as privilaged as madame secretary, or as caucasian.

Give the old "privilege" meme, a rest, will you?

While your shipmates may have lacked Hillary's caucasian privilege, I'm betting they had plenty of Male Privilege.

If not than stop blowing smoke up gullible people's behind. Stop misleading people who desperately want to believe the worst about HRC and are so blinded by hate that they are disappointed when their wishes don't jive with the reality.

6. Just an observation...
Fri May 6, 2016, 01:10 PM
May 2016

But when did the FBI announce to media outlets that there has been no wrong doing before investigations have been concluded? I was under the assumption that it was official FBI spokespersons that made those announcements... Also, why did the FBI announce they would be 'interviewing' Hillary if the FBI has found no wrong doing?

But, to say that there is no criminal wrong doing before the conclusion of all investigations is incorrect. No matter what 'sources' say, until there is an official press release and an announcement from an official spokesperson, there has been no determination either way. I hope that this BS is over with asap and she is cleared, but making premature statements does no good.

You make a very good point about the FBI not leaking. They are the only ones who know what they are investigating and where it is going. All the rest is just speculation.

Remind us of this for the next 8 years. So, even when it wraps up it will be vomited out at every possible chance by the GOP, we just need to make sure we get control of Congress so nothing more will happen because of it once she is cleared.

McConnell and Ryan are signaling to Rep candidates that it is fine if they distance themselves from Trump. So those two seem to feel the Republican congressional majority may not survive the election.

The Benghazi slow-walk: How to drag out an investigation for maximum political impact

Trey Gowdy's committee has been overloading the Pentagon with interview requests and hunting down Hannity callers


http://www.salon.com/2016/05/02/the_benghazi_slow_walk_how_to_drag_out_an_investigation_for_maximum_political_impact/

Gowdy literally demanded they find and interview a guy who called into Hannity.

News like this just ups the game for those on the right.

"willfully" break the law to, now, "no criminal wrongdoing"

All based on unnamed officials or unnamed FBI officials or unnamed agents and prosecutors, depending on who is writing the story.

If they've not found any criminal wrongdoing, why do they need to interview HRC or continue with the investigation?

They know when she started using the e-mail account. They have the e-mail traffic. They know when she left office.
They don't need to interview her to find out basic information they should have already established by now.

She could get hit with a process crime, a la Scooter Libby. Why open herself up for that?
