FBI Interviews Hillary Clinton About Private Email Server
Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, has repeatedly said the email issue undermines Clinton’s fitness for office and suggested she will receive leniency from a Democratic administration. “What she did was wrong!”.
Then factor in that the “voluntary interview” was conducted at the start of a holiday weekend. “I don’t think anything inappropriate was done”, Clinton said of her e-mail practices in an April 3 interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press”.
“No matter how I viewed it, I understand how people view it”, she said. Within the next two weeks or so, the expectation is there will be an announcement of no charges being brought against Clinton so long as no evidence of wrongdoing emerges from her interview with the FBI, sources familiar with the investigation told CNN.
I was told that there was a plan, a possible plan for her to fly in on Tuesday with this first Obama meeting to North Carolina on Air Force One!
“The tarmac meeting, such an unforced error”.
An aide to Bill Clinton said in a statement Saturday that “the President’s conversation with the Attorney General was unplanned and was entirely social in nature”.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement on Saturday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation interview reinforces Clinton’s “central role in deliberately creating a culture which put her own political ambitions above State Department rules and jeopardised our national security”. But the timing and the appearance of the confab fed right into the idea that the Clintons have a tendency to wield their influence on the edge of propriety.
Clinton has previously apologised for using a private account exclusively from her upstate NY home during her four years as America’s top diplomat.

But it has fed a perception that she was trying to hide information, and it has chipped away at data gauging Clinton’s trustworthiness. “I know that’s something that I’m going to keep working on, and I think that’s, you know, a clear priority for me”. “And anyone who knows Bill Clinton knows that if he runs into someone at the airport, by chance, he’s going to come up and say hello to them”. Lynch acknowledged that it “cast a shadow” on the public’s perception of the case.
The FBI is investigating Clinton’s server to see if classified information was mishandled, a topic that has become a key issue in her presidential campaign.
