55. But oh, what a tangled web she weaves.

The truth likely incriminates her. Refusing to answer is a PR nightmare. Lying results in perjury charges. It will be interesting to see what parsing and weaseling she does. I imagine a lot of "that depends what the definition of Is is" type of stuff.

yes only 50, so nothing there 2pooped2pop Mar 2016 #27

That was a lie too Dem2 Mar 2016 #30

You know how many FBI agents are looking into Sanders doings? notadmblnd Mar 2016 #36

I don't actually know that for certain Dem2 Mar 2016 #39

Produce these reports notadmblnd Mar 2016 #40

None of us can know that for certain Dem2 Mar 2016 #46

You said there were reports. notadmblnd Mar 2016 #49

No, I said FBI notadmblnd Mar 2016 #51

You mean as in Federal Bureau of Investigation? LuvLoogie Mar 2016 #52

Probably because Sanders has never ACCOMPLISHED anything noteworthy. LOL!!!! beaglelover Mar 2016 #85

I'm proud of the fact that the candidate I support has ethics notadmblnd Mar 2016 #88

probably just trying to clear her faster. lol. eom artyteacher Mar 2016 #37

You seem to find fun and laughter here, are you hoping Hillary is indicted? Jackie Wilson Said Mar 2016 #77

147 was more than likely a cummulative figure of the number of Agents who have been assigned. Not leveymg Mar 2016 #29

Yes. Given the sheer volume of emails B2G Mar 2016 #35

no one at WaPo apparently thought to ask the proper follow up question grasswire Mar 2016 #81

Or, someone wouldn't answer. Funny how the Bureau can backpeddle, like a unicycle, simply by not leveymg Mar 2016 #89

My bad, thanks. Which is why they have 12 agents working on it for a year now. Motown_Johnny Mar 2016 #45

I thought there was a report she was going to be interviewed by the director. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #3

I wonder if that's why Huma and others B2G Mar 2016 #6

That does not mean they won't be interviewed. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #7

True. Unless they have refused. nt B2G Mar 2016 #9

Who knows! hrmjustin Mar 2016 #14

They won't be interviewed if they're already cooperating witnesses. leveymg Mar 2016 #25

eek nt grasswire Mar 2016 #82

Very true NWCorona Mar 2016 #10

More likely the source did not have the info. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #13

Are you privy to the interview list? DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #48

I am referring to the reports B2G Mar 2016 #50

a list has already been published. May or may not be all witnesses. nt grasswire Mar 2016 #83

Hillary can still say no NWCorona Mar 2016 #8

I think it will be fine. If her lawyers were worried they would have put an end to any interview. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #12

I meant for most interviews but wasn't really clear on that NWCorona Mar 2016 #16

I think it is interesting he won't let a deputy do it. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #18

I will except his report NWCorona Mar 2016 #21

David Shuster Exclusive: Hillary Clinton to be Interviewed by FBI Director Comey in Coming Days Purveyor Mar 2016 #17

Thank you for posting it. hrmjustin Mar 2016 #20

If she is not indicted or singled out as having committed some major crime, I wonder Jackie Wilson Said Mar 2016 #79

Maddie gets her dollar back. nt PonyUp Mar 2016 #5

She can plead the 5th. HooptieWagon Mar 2016 #11

If that's the case Hillary would just turn down the interview NWCorona Mar 2016 #19

Politically, the cost of refusing to be interviewed would be enormous. She'll talk. leveymg Mar 2016 #22

Exactly. FBI already knows the answers to the questions they'll ask. HooptieWagon Mar 2016 #26

I don't think she will add perjury to the charges. Not if her new lawyers are smarter than her old leveymg Mar 2016 #34

I cannot think of too many questions she can answer without perjuring herself yourpaljoey Mar 2016 #54

But oh, what a tangled web she weaves. HooptieWagon Mar 2016 #55

Seems to me she is compelled to plead the 5th yourpaljoey Mar 2016 #56

You too. Please give us a half dozen questions (and how you think she'll answer them 1,2 or 3)? leveymg Mar 2016 #58

To rewind yourpaljoey Mar 2016 #64

I believe the focus of Comey's interview of Clinton will be narrow, and confined to topics such as leveymg Mar 2016 #66

Logical yourpaljoey Mar 2016 #72

You can Google that email exchange which was released months ago. leveymg Mar 2016 #75

there was info that (reportedly) the NSA recognized as their communication. grasswire Mar 2016 #87

what was the nature/subject of this NSA communication? yourpaljoey Mar 2016 #98

no grasswire Mar 2016 #100

I think there will be some pointed questions about the Clinton Foundation B2G Mar 2016 #76

Wonder what her state of mind is on this yourpaljoey Mar 2016 #78

I think the outcome is a known near certainty to her and almost all involved. leveymg Mar 2016 #80

wow, you're good yourpaljoey Mar 2016 #97

...and that is all provable the answers are known. gordianot Mar 2016 #84

Of course. A prosecutor never asks a question on the record where the answer isn't known. leveymg Mar 2016 #92

You are talking about the NSA? (Last sentence above) nt grasswire Mar 2016 #86

Yes. There was also highly classified information found on the server originating with CIA, leveymg Mar 2016 #94

Is that the same data that was in the cloud? grasswire Mar 2016 #95

The backup was hosted to the Cloud by an IT company that took over her leveymg Mar 2016 #96

Touche'.......nt Land of Enchantment Mar 2016 #101

Give us a half dozen questions you think she'll be asked. leveymg Mar 2016 #57

The big unknown are the prosecutors that will be present NWCorona Mar 2016 #33

Meet the US Attorney for the District of Columbia> leveymg Mar 2016 #38

Meet the Criminal Division, National Security and Fraud and Public Corruption Sections. leveymg Mar 2016 #43

I think she has to show up,.... HooptieWagon Mar 2016 #23

I'm not 100 on if she has to show up so maybe NWCorona Mar 2016 #28

She should tell them she doesn't like their tone. Kalidurga Mar 2016 #31

lol 840high Mar 2016 #53

LOL! paulthompson Mar 2016 #60

Laugh of the day! grntuscarora Mar 2016 #62

You mean take the 5th? notadmblnd Mar 2016 #32

She has said she would welcome speaking with investigators as early as last Summer.../nt DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #41

I'm glad, this should make her happy now. leveymg Mar 2016 #44

She also said she would cooperate fully and then fought turning over the server for 5 months. Motown_Johnny Mar 2016 #47

That was after wiping them with a clothe and sitting on them for two years. leveymg Mar 2016 #59

ok, thanks for the visual of Hillary actually sitting on a server for two years... grasswire Mar 2016 #90

Ewww . . . leveymg Mar 2016 #93

I doubt that she ever thought CoffeeCat Mar 2016 #63

I read somewhere... DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #65

Is this the Indictment Fairy? CoffeeCat Mar 2016 #67

For somebody to offend me I would have to care what they have to say first. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #68

The Indictment Fairy doesn't seek respect CoffeeCat Mar 2016 #69

+ 1 DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #70

I wasn't referring to the mythical Indictment Fairy but her devotees. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #70

Sorry CoffeeCat Mar 2016 #73

I have a friend on this board who is in rehabilitation for a traumatic brain injury. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #74

She will bring the cloth she used to wipe the server. n/t PonyUp Mar 2016 #61

and the editorial cartoonists are already working ... grasswire Mar 2016 #91

They are optional unless you refuse to be interviewed and then the investigation proceeds to require Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #99

She appears eager to collaborate. I seem to remember that when Rove was thereismore Mar 2016 #102
