It looks like Hillary won't be helping the relaunched State Dept investigation.

(18,186 posts)The State Department suspended its investigation during the FBI inquiry.
"The State Department started its review in January after declaring 22 emails from Clinton's private server to be "top secret." The investigation was suspended in April to avoid interfering with the FBI's inquiry. State Department spokesman John Kirby said the probe is restarting after the Justice Department's announcement Wednesday that it won't bring any criminal charges."

"It looks like Hillary won't be helping the relaunched State Dept investigation."
I wouldn't necessarily reach that conclusion. I think Clinton did make it clear that she won't be throwing anybody under the bus.

Clinton also called on communities across the country to show more "respect" to the police, as she paid tribute to the officers who risked and lost their lives in Dallas. "Look at what happened in Dallas. Those police officers were protecting a peaceful protest ... that is a hallmark of America," she said. "And when the shooting started and everyone else was fleeing, the police were moving toward danger."
But Clinton also warned that there was a "terrible disconnect" between police officers and the people they are meant to protect. She explicitly stated that some African-Americans are dying as a result of "systemic" and "implicit bias." "Too many African-Americans shave been killed in encounters with police over matters that should not have led to that action being taken," she said.
Clinton called on white Americans to put themselves in the shoes of blacks "who fear every time their children go somewhere; who have to have the talk about how to really protect themselves when they're the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with the police."
"I'm going to be talking to white people -- I think we're the ones who have to have to start listening to the legitimate cries that are coming from our African-American fellow citizens," she said.
The Dallas shooting occurred in the middle of a peaceful demonstration Thursday on the streets of downtown Dallas. The protest was a part of the national uproar over two African-American men -- Alton Sterling and Philando Castile -- who were shot and killed by police in Louisiana and Minnesota, respectively, this week. The Clinton campaign canceled a joint rally with Vice President Joe Biden in Scranton, Pennsylvania, scheduled for earlier Friday, citing the "tragic events" in Dallas. It marked the second time in a month that it had canceled a major rally following a shooting -- in June, it pushed back an event with President Barack Obama in the aftermath of a terrorist attack at an Orlando nightclub that killed 49 people.
