Clinton questioned by FBI as part of email probe

[George II]

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton met with the FBI on Saturday as part of the investigation into her use of a private email server while leading the State Department, her campaign said.

"Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her email arrangements while she was secretary," Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement. "She is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion. Out of respect for the investigative process, she will not comment further on her interview."

An aide said the interview occurred at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., Saturday morning and lasted approximately three and a half hours.

The news of FBI agents interviewing the former secretary of state will heighten anxiety among Democrats that their nominee could be indicted before November and serve as a reminder of Clinton's negatives to voters already skeptical of her trustworthiness.

Sorry for flopping back and forth between CNN and AP, but CNN now has the most details of the interview this morning.

They're speculating that the investigation should be wrapped up very shortly - Clinton was expected to be the last to be interviewed. That has now happened.

1. That was a fast interview. Thanks for the info

[George II]

2. Not many details yet, but in addition to AP, Fox News and CNN have reported this now.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

3. Did they interview her at her house?

[George II]

6. The interview was at FBI Headquarters. The actual spokesperson release hasn't been posted...

...anywhere yet.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

9. Thank you

Just heard that reported on CNN and was about to edit.

[Chicago1980]

30. What does that matter?

[840high]

33. It shows no special favors were shown.

[Bob41213]

42. Or perhaps there were too many reporters staked out at the Clinton residence

since word of the interview broke yesterday so they changed the location cause of that.

[emulatorloo]

4. They must be about done with the investigation then.

Glad to hear this.

[George II]

7. That is the speculation on CNN, saying they interview the principle last, it should end soon.

[ronnykmarshall]

10. Right wing bullshit

Thanks sharing

[99th_Monkey]

23. What "RW bullshit"? WTF are you talking about?

This is a news story, with important facts laid out, about our preemptive nominee,
from several mainstream new outlets.

ON EDIT: Ah ok I get it. You were responding to a deleted post, and NOT to the OP.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[KMOD]

11. If Hillary could have her way, it would be.

She has been extremely transparent in this investigation.

I'm so happy this will be wrapping up. It's going to be a riot watching the media walk back all the conspiracy theories they've allowed to be floated.

[PJMcK]

13. That's an odd perspective you have there, Crepuscular (n/t)

[William769]

17. Your slip is showing.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. Who was that?

[yallerdawg]

8. This?

[panader0]

12. "Review"?

I seem to recall Comey saying that the FBI didn't do reviews, they did
investigations.

[yallerdawg]

14. "...investigative process..."

Parsing words are we?

[Sparkly]

27. He didn't like "inquiry." nt

[George II]

15. Thanks. Yes, that's the statement read on CNN a few minutes ago.

[transatlantica]

19. voluntary interview?

[yallerdawg]

22. Silly wabbit...

Of course it's voluntary!

Did you think they arrested her?

[brush]

16. That was quick, no perp walk. Gues that dashes all the indictment ferry wishes.

[magical thyme]

28. this isn't a teevee show. There wasn't going to be a "perp walk" post-interview

or any time soon.

The media has reported all along that after her interview, the FBI will review her answers and compare it with other evidence before making their report and any recommendations.

[brush]

46. My post was totally tongue in cheek, design to irritate the indictment fairy fans

As many of us have said all along to those praying for an indictment, it is now over.

There will be no indictment.

Guess Sanders can concede now.

[magical thyme]

48. no, it is not all over.

The FBI and Justice career lawyers are now reviewing the interview against the email evidence and statements made by other witnesses, both to them and to the JW lawyers in the civil suits, starting with Pagliani.

After they finish their review, they will make their report and any recommendations.

And I have no idea what a "ferry" has to do with any of this

[brush]

49. You're right that "ferry" should be "fairy", the rest — not so much.

And btw, as a Democrat, why wouldn't you want it to be over?

It's just another ginned-up, repug non-scandal to take down the Clintons once and for all — like Whitewater, Travelgate, Vince Foster's "murder" Benghazi and on and on and on.

We don't need to be carrying water for the repugs.

[NWCorona]

40. There will never be a perp walk for Hillary

Even if they recommend charges.

[brush]

47. You have to know the "perp walk" reference was just to tweak the indictment fairy hopefuls

It's over now. They can put away their prayer beads, and Sanders can now concede.

[George II]

21. It was this morning - I've updated the OP with the latest link. Sorry for the confusion.

[yallerdawg]

26. Could it be, G2?

The end of this horrible scandal? Finally?

"My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule. But there is a higher Power, by whatever name we honor Him, who ordains not only righteousness but love, not only justice but mercy."

[Ford_Prefect]

38. Gerry was always given to eloquent understatement, wasn't he?

[Lars39]

20. Trying to muddy the waters a bit

[bucolic_frolic]

24. "conclusion"

the choice of words indicates some degree of confidence. If they thought
otherwise they surely must know that characterizing it as such would not
make it go away.

The investigation is supposed to be non-political. It would be nice if it
were wrapped up and not be allowed to fester during an election like
a knife waiting to fall. That would not be non-political.

[sharp_stick]

25. Good, this has to end

it's taken far too long as it is.

[MaggieD]

31. Great - it's time to move on to the next fake GOPer scandal

.... that a lot of dumb people will actually believe for several years until they realize it's just more right wing bullshit. Sigh.

[MaggieD]

43. No, she literally did not

Also I don't think this is the site you want if you're looking for a place to call our nominee a beast. I'm sure you can find some right wing sites where that stuff would be welcome.

[Cooley Hurd]

44. Good bye...

"Beast"? YOU call the former Secretary of State a "beast"? Look in the mirror, Jack...

Another Cheeto-stained Loser...

[comradebillyboy]

32. Obama will be out campaigning with Hillary next week

I think that's a pretty clear signal that she's in the clear.

[Cryptoad]

36. There is never been any thing that suggested otherwise

except the conjecture, speculation of the RWNJ's and a few who still have a burr on their ass!

[asiliveandbreathe]

34. I get so disgusted with people who opine - especially CNN -

From article - The news of FBI agents interviewing the former secretary of state will heighten anxiety among Democrats that their nominee could be indicted before November and serve as a reminder of Clinton's negatives to voters already skeptical of her trustworthiness.


Is this CNN spewing this crap??

Words matter - heightened anxiety BS - indicted before Nov??? more BS serve as a reminder of Clintons trustworthiness?? BS - you say it enough times, some nut will believe it..like my hubby was discussing last night...will someone please explain what the eff they mean by not being trustworthy - would it be ALL the republiklans messages for so many years....how long have they dogged her..20+ years??

Comey investigated Whitewater..his history is justification HE should recuse himself..IMHO....just becz he told ASHCROFT, lying in a hospital bed, there shouldn't be warrantless wiretapping..as GWB and Co. had so wanted to do..that makes him an unbiased?? - BS investigator???

Even that Ken Starr has regrets when it comes to his impeachment of Bill during the nineties...

[Geronimoe]

35. It doesn't sound like

she was waterboarded.

It isn't often that we get such a high ranking politician willing to take a Holiday weekend, Saturday off to help the FBI. A real champion of everyday people.

[scscholar]

37. "bringing this review to a conclusion."

Finally. I'm looking forward to not hearing about this again.

[RussBLib]

39. good luck with that

Even if the FBI were to come out and say "We found no illegality, no nothing," we are going to keep hearing about this from rightwingnuts until the next century. That's just what they do. Even if the FBI says she's totally clean, you will hear RW'ers throw in Hillary's email problems from now on. They just pile shit onto shit onto more shit. People tend to believe stuff they hear over and over and over. It sucks.

[tabasco]

45. STOP bashing our candidate!

Right wing garbage!
