FBI formally confirms its investigation of Hillary Clintons email server
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/fbi-formally-confirms-its-investigation-hillary-clintons-email-server
In a letter disclosed Monday in a federal court filing, the FBI confirms one of the worlds worst-kept secrets: It is looking into Hillary Clintons use of a private email server.
Why say this at all, since it was widely known to be true? Because in August in response to a judges direction, the State Department asked the FBI for information about what it was up to. Sorry, the FBI said at the time, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any investigation.
Now, in a letter dated February 2 and filed in court Monday, the FBIs general counsel, James Baker, notes that in public statements and congressional testimony, the FBI has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to former Secretary Clintons use of a private email server.
Baker says the FBI has not, however, publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings.
He ends the one-paragraph letter by saying that the FBI cannot say more without adversely affecting on-going law enforcement efforts.
