Sorry Hillary, FBI Director Confirms Clinton Email ‘Investigation’ Not ‘Security Review’

http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/sorry-hillary-fbi-director-confirms-clinton-email-investigation-not-security-review/

FBI Director James Comey held a “pen and pad” briefing with reporters on Wednesday where he provided some new insights about the Bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server.

Director Comey was asked during the briefing about Clinton’s continued characterization of the investigation as a “security inquiry,” according to Fox News.

“[I am] not familiar with the term ‘security inquiry,’” Comey replied. “We’re conducting an investigation. … That’s what we do.”


Clinton and her campaign have described the investigation as a “security inquiry” for months in what some see as an effort to downplay the seriousness of the matter. Clinton herself over the weekend in an interview on CBS News described the matter as a “security inquiry.” Furthermore, just this morning Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal appeared on CNN and described the matter as a “security inquiry” as he fumbled his way through a question about the e-mail issue from host Alisyn Camerota.

*** She cannot or will not follow rules.***


Why did she have a private server? Why did she hire Sid Blumenthal after Obama said 'no' to hiring him?


If she thinks she's above the law now, that rules don't apply to her, let's save ourselves a lot of grief & support someone who does have respect for the law & will make us proud while we still have a choice.

I am able to see the drastic, huge differences between her and any GOP.

I am able to put my personal feelings aside for the good of the Muslims, Latinos, women, black people, gay people he would harm.

Statement from the Inspectors General of the Intelligence Community and the Department of State Regarding the Review of Former Secretary Clinton's Emails

IC IG made a referral detailing the potential compromise of classified information to security officials within the Executive Branch. The main purpose of the referral was to notify security officials that classified information may exist on at least one private server and thumb drive that are not in the government's possession. An important distinction is that the IC IG did not make a criminal referral - it was a security referral made for counterintelligence purposes
