FBI director refutes Clinton campaign's description of email investigation
FBI Director James Comey told a group of reporters Wednesday that the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server is more than a "security inquiry," a phrase the Democratic presidential front-runner and her campaign use instead of "investigation" to describe the FBI's action in the case.

"I don't even know what that means," Comey said. "I'm not familiar with the term security inquiry."

Just this past Sunday, in "an interview with John Dickerson on Face the Nation," Hillary Clinton used the term. "I don't think anything inappropriate was done," she said. "And so I have to let them [the FBI] decide how to resolve their security inquiry."

At the roundtable discussion with reporters, Comey declined to promise to end the investigation before the start of the general election, despite feeling "pressured" by the high level of public involvement.

He said, "...you want to do it well and we want to do it promptly. And so I feel, I feel pressure to do both of those things...I don't tether to any particular external deadline."
The FBI's investigation, which was launched in August 2015, has found its way into this year's campaign cycle, leading to a moment on the debate stage in which rival Bernie Sanders said he was "sick and tired of hearing about [her] damn emails."

As for informing the public, Comey did not say whether he would disclose the details of the investigation if Clinton and her aides were not criminally charged.

So far, only a few of Clinton's top aides, including Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, have been formally interviewed by the FBI, but the former Secretary of State herself has not yet sat down with law enforcement officials.

"No one has reach out to me yet, but last summer, I think last August, I made it clear I'm more than ready to talk to anybody, anytime," she said.

CBS News confirmed a few days ago that Clinton would be interviewed by the FBI in the coming weeks.

I see that he said it was an investigation, because that's what the FBI does.


I know that the Hillary Haters club here likes to pretend that every time someone says something other than that they love Clinton, that they are declaring her to be in danger of imminent arrest, but that's not the case with this.

As usual, I'm NOT taking a side, as people want to do with this. I still support the American legal system, which means waiting for FACTS. Not allegations, not snide remarks, not coy allegations, and so on.

But I know that following the law isn't the most popular thing these days.



Yes, yes, your preaching to the choir. Send that to Washington,DC, if your talking about breaking laws and changing American standards.

How Hillary has referred to the investigation, which is the topic of this thread, aren't "coy allegation"...they are a FACT and doesn't need to be adjudicated though the legal system.

I will only point out that according to the actual quotes I have seen of what the FBI rep DID say, that this description of his comments is false:

FBI Director James Comey told a group of reporters Wednesday that the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server is more than a "security inquiry," a phrase the Democratic presidential front-runner and her campaign use instead of "investigation" to describe the FBI's action in the case.


He did NOT say that it was MORE than a security inquiry. In fact, he SPECIFICALLY said that he didn't know what a "security inquiry" was, so therefore it would not be POSSIBLE for him to say it was MORE than what he didn't know anything about.

He said that it was an Investigation, because that's what the FBI does: hence the 'I' at the end of their initials.

But he was very disciplined in his comments, as a responsible legal person should be. No accusations of any kind, and no absolutions.

Therefore this announcement does NOT constitute an official, OR an unofficial condemnation of Clinton.
