In reply to the discussion: Obama: Clinton’s Email Server Did Not Jeopardize National Security [View all]TM99
(8,352 posts)69. For a supposed lawyer and law professor
of some repute, I am disappointed that Obama would comment at all on this matter.
There is an ongoing investigation by the FBI that will eventually involve the DoJ. It is not his place to comment on whether he believes Clinton jeopardized security or not. And tacking on the 'I guarantee there is no political influence' after doing so tells those who pay attention that indeed there likely will be inappropriate political influence.

Different statute, 798 isn't 793. If he discussed 793, let me know, and I'll take a look at that

As I thought, he doesn't even mention the statute that's most referenced in her security oath.

Yes Obama did. The headline isn't in quotes but all you have to do is listen to the video.

Mr President: in that case, don't forget to add Guccifer to the cc line on each email you write.

Yes, he did say that. The email discussion begins at about 8 minutes into the interview.

Actually, it did. But not in the way the right wingers and Sandernistas may want you to believe.
