CNN and MSNBC confirm Hillary Clinton will not face any charges in email inquiry

260. Even from your perspective, i.e. assuming that Guccifer must be spilling beans,

then why would that lead to the FBI questioning Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, etc. (i.e. if Hillary or others on her staff are not, themselves, subject of an investigation)?

...If they merely wanted to confirm info Guccifer provided about the hack methodology and so forth (which I don't buy, but I'll give it to you for the sake of argument), okay, I could see where they could theoretically want to interview, say, the IT guy, but what could they learn from all these other people?

...Why would they be looking to question these people both before and after Guccifer made his plea deal, with no indication that anyone who they interviewed before was brought back again after (i.e. his new "beans" coincidentally didn't seem to require going back to any of the people they already questioned)?

I'm still just not following the logic in your post #246 ( as a reply to my post #233). If it's all about investigating Guccifer (even after he accepted a plea), what could they learn from Hillary herself? And it was a 3+ hour interview, not merely a question or two. And it was an interview that Hillary offered to have with them and that she expected to have with them since last year, long before Guccifer was extradited or made a plea deal. What did she think they might want to talk to her about all this time? All these people are being questioned, and even Hillary herself has never claimed they are being questioned regarding the case against Guccifer. Hillary herself puts forth the issues being investigated (*ahem* "reviewed) at https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2015/07/13/email-facts/ -- You're going an awful long way to avoid the occam's razor perspective on all these interviews, to something that, IMO, doesn't even make sense.

ETA: and the IT guy, Pagliano, has himself been given immunity. Unless you think they gave him immunity merely to get info to help prosecute Guccifer (who, at this point, has already accepted a plea regardless), that also indicates they have someone else--someone more important than Pagliano--in their sights.
