While your shipmates may have lacked Hillary's caucasian privilege, I'm betting they had plenty of Male Privilege.

(3,040 posts)But when did the FBI announce to media outlets that there has been no wrong doing before investigations have been concluded? I was under the assumption that it was official FBI spokespersons that made those announcements... Also, why did the FBI announce they would be 'interviewing' Hillary if the FBI has found no wrong doing?

(21,328 posts)I've been interviewed in relation in inquiries. Never been charged with anything.
Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)But, to say that there is no criminal wrong doing before the conclusion of all investigations is incorrect. No matter what 'sources' say, until there is an official press release and an announcement from an official spokesperson, there has been no determination either way. I hope that this BS is over with asap and she is cleared, but making premature statements does no good.

(44,268 posts)You make a very good point about the FBI not leaking. They are the only ones who know what they are investigating and where it is going. All the rest is just speculation.
Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)She is innocent until proven otherwise. And I don't think that will ever happen. I just want it over with.
emulatorloo
(44,268 posts)But of course that is speculation too lol.
Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)Remind us of this for the next 8 years. So, even when it wraps up it will be vomited out at every possible chance by the GOP, we just need to make sure we get control of Congress so nothing more will happen because of it once she is cleared.

(44,268 posts)McConnell and Ryan are signaling to Rep candidates that it is fine if they distance themselves from Trump. So those two seem to feel the Republican congressional majority may not survive the election.

The Benghazi slow-walk: How to drag out an investigation for maximum political impact
Trey Gowdy's committee has been overloading the Pentagon with interview requests and hunting down Hannity callers
http://www.salon.com/2016/05/02/the_benghazi_slow_walk_how_to_drag_out_an_investigation_for_maximum_political_impact/
Gowdy literally demanded they find and interview a guy who called into Hannity.
News like this just ups the game for those on the right.

(2,329 posts)"willfully" break the law to, now, "no criminal wrongdoing"
All based on unnamed officials or unnamed FBI officials or unnamed agents and prosecutors, depending on who is writing the story.
If they've not found any criminal wrongdoing, why do they need to interview HRC or continue with the investigation?
Zynx
(21,328 posts)Doesn't mean much in isolation.
Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)They know when she started using the e-mail account. They have the e-mail traffic. They know when she left office.
They don't need to interview her to find out basic information they should have already established by now.

(68,788 posts)It is what most of us including legal experts expected.
Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)She could get hit with a process crime, a la Scooter Libby. Why open herself up for that?
