Kind of you to point this out - but needless as the FBI has no reason to question Sanders nt LiberalElite May 2016 #123

she might not have a legal obligation but if she doesn't roguevalley Jun 2016 #156

Kudos. The non sequitur award is safe for yet another thread. merrily Jun 2016 #159

yes... Hillary has the right to remain silent tk2kewl Jun 2016 #167

Boom. cherokeeprogressive Jun 2016 #169

Then again, the FBI has not requested an interview with Sanders... ljm2002 Jun 2016 #183

Of course she's not going to do an interview. The way she lies she'll talk herself Press Virginia May 2016 #2

Ever since it came out that Hillary was the only SoS not to cooperate NWCorona May 2016 #56

Agreed! I think a lot of people never thought it would come to that. NWCorona May 2016 #72

and we who have been paying attention have been vilified for a long time. nt grasswire May 2016 #90

At least we were right NWCorona May 2016 #102

Too long. nt desmiller May 2016 #104

You say that as if the vilifying is about to end. winter is coming Jun 2016 #154

Yep. The FBI would get a hold of that interview and compare notes Press Virginia May 2016 #75

Watching the Real time evolution of the spin has been entertaining to say the least. NWCorona May 2016 #79

certainly explains the lack of press conferences and venues where the questions Press Virginia May 2016 #82

You mean all the phone interviews? I think she's scared to show her face while lying - it's too DebDoo May 2016 #92

She ain't chuckling when they ask her questions anymore Press Virginia May 2016 #94

I love the phone interviews. It's like a neon sign reading, "I'm desperate!" n/t winter is coming May 2016 #117

Bastards!!! JoePhilly May 2016 #129

Yeah, that'll help. winter is coming May 2016 #5

They must know someone talked or the FBI has some emails they hoped were lost. BillZBubb May 2016 #8

Or they assume someone talked or the FBI found something. They don't know for Press Virginia May 2016 #10

Well, that would indicate then that she has already committed a felony. BillZBubb May 2016 #13

Could be a misdemeanor. Press Virginia May 2016 #16

It's a felony, Sec 793, but she could plead down to 1924 like Petraeus. leveymg May 2016 #70

A quick health scare from the stress? And then a quiet plea? Press Virginia May 2016 #78

What is this, Moscow? Just let the IC IG kick the door open and follow up with a candid FBI leveymg May 2016 #100

Uhhhhhhhhhh what? Press Virginia May 2016 #105

If the FBI recommends indictment, she's finished. If the report leveymg May 2016 #118

Good point. Less work for them, they can just wrap it up. JudyM May 2016 #44

A federal judge just ruled that Trump has been improperly trying to conceal documents Tal Vez May 2016 #7

That's the latest Brock spin. Not gonna work. And no the trump and Clinton problems are not equal. BillZBubb May 2016 #17

If you think that Clinton's mistakes are "far more serious" than Trump's mistakes, Tal Vez May 2016 #32

You're probably right. It's not like national security is an issue in these elections anyway. frylock May 2016 #58

Trump is dealing with a civil lawsuit not a criminal investigation Press Virginia May 2016 #85

and Trump wasn't sharing top secret documents on an unsecured server or.. grasswire May 2016 #112

National Security and possible government corruption versus IdaBriggs May 2016 #71

I haven't heard of any significant actual damage to national security. Tal Vez May 2016 #74

Disingenuous Answer: People affected by this with national security IdaBriggs May 2016 #84

Yeah, it's like that old story: Tal Vez May 2016 #91

Shuster doesn't speak for the FBI, as far as I know. nt BootinUp May 2016 #11

Yes it's optional unless there was a subpoena issued NWCorona May 2016 #64

Since we passed something called the 5th amendment. nt msanthrope May 2016 #77

She will cooperate... DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #27

She didn't cooperate with State even though she pledged to... Luminous Animal May 2016 #46

She "pledged" to cooperate?! that's a setup for a big P.R. takedown. JudyM May 2016 #52

She said she'd be happy to talk to anybody about her emails Press Virginia May 2016 #88

Are you serious or missing the sarcasm emoji? JudyM May 2016 #109

The latter Press Virginia May 2016 #110

unless someone wants to talk to her about it ... like the Jarqui May 2016 #60

Ahh, but she only agreed to cooperate with the "security review" - she's not going anywhere near the DebDoo May 2016 #95

You said that already. pangaia May 2016 #89
