so, no transcript, just 'notes'...
Washington (CNN)Members of Congress will soon receive notes from Hillary Clinton's interview with the FBI over her private email server and they could be sent as early as Monday, according to sources.
The FBI does not have a complete transcript of the interview, FBI Director James Comey told Congress in long testimony earlier this summer. She was not under oath, he added. But members of Congress will have access to notes taken during the interview. Several Republican lawmakers have requested the information after Comey's testimony.
Politico first reported that the Obama administration was debating how to release the documents, over concern that the records are politically sensitive.
Clinton spoke with the FBI for more than three hours during the bureau's investigation of her use of her private email server as secretary of state.

(2,620 posts)1. Unless there is a good reason not to, it seems best to simply release the notes
so that the actual text is known - rather than Trump & the media talking heads give everyone their version of what they think the notes say.
Defuse it and move on...

Plus, with just "notes" they'll get to indulge in speculation as to what the notes "mean." And all the conservative pundits can weigh in with all of their interpretations as well. Something to write & talk about to take attention away from their dumpster fire of a candidate.

Headline says Clinton's.
Story says "notes taken during the interview."
