Obama might have upset the Federal Bureau of Investigation

“This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered”.

“Hillary Clinton’s stunning admission that she unilaterally set up her secret email server that exposed Top Secret material shows she alone is responsible for putting national security at risk”, RNC spokesman Michael Short said.

Obama’s “60 Minutes” comments are reminiscent of public comments he in made 2012 about former Central Intelligence Agency Director David Petraeus, who at the time was being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for giving classified information to a mistress, Paula Broadwell.

Investigators have not reached any conclusions about whether the information on the server had been compromised or whether to recommend charges, according to the law enforcement officials.

But to investigators, it sounded as if Obama already had decided the answers to their questions and cleared anyone involved of wrongdoing. Current and former agents, insisting on remaining anonymous, said that many within the bureau were upset and that it seemed that the President was clearly choosing sides.

The White House quickly backed off the president’s remarks and said Obama was not trying to influence the investigation.

“Injecting politics into what is supposed to be a fact-finding inquiry leaves a foul taste in the F.B.I.’s mouth”, Hosko said.

“There’s a debate among national security experts, as part of their ongoing, independent review, about how or even whether to classify sections of those emails”, Earnest told reporters.

While it appears none of the emails Clinton sent or received were marked classified, the intelligence community’s inspector general has said that a few of the emails contained classified information when they were generated – not just information that was retroactively classified.
