Obama Irritates the FBI - Hillary Clinton Emails
On Sunday, Barack Obama made an appearance on "60 Minutes". During the show, he attempted to downplay the significance of Clinton's Email fraud, stating "I don’t think it posed a national security problem". While he did say it was a mistake for Clinton to do what she did, he emphasized that it wasn't a situation in which America's national security was threatened. This miffed the FBI because they spent months researching if the security was somehow threatened, and for Obama to quickly dismiss any possibility of danger when they are not finished with the investigation made it seem like he was deciding the case for them, and clearing anyone of doing something wrong. "It was inappropriate for the president to suggest what side of the investigation he is on when the F.B.I. is still investigating" said Ron Hosko. Hosko is the president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, and a former senior F.B.I.
Next week, Clinton is scheduled to testify before the Republican controlled House committee. They will be investigating the attack in Benghazi, Libya that happened in 2012. The committee is expected to question Clinton about her unorthodox email arrangement.

The Clinton - email problem doesn't seem as if it poses a security risk, but it was still unprofessional, in my opinion.

ReplyDeleteI think this will follow Clinton throughout her presidency and it can cause many problems towards her. Many views and opinions may be looked poorly upon her.
