发帖数: 6571 | 1 Clinton interviewed by the FBI about private email server
The interview was expected and it does not suggest that she or anyone else
is likely to face prosecution. Some legal experts view criminal prosecution
as exceedingly unlikely. The interview may indicate that the Justice
Department's yearlong probe is drawing to a close.
But the ongoing investigation represents a major risk for Democrats as
Clinton is merely four weeks away from being formally nominated as the party
's presidential candidate.
Donald Trump, the Republican Party's presumptive nominee, has seized on the
email issue and repeatedly said the probe undermines Clinton's fitness for
office. Trump has called his opponent "Crooked Hillary" and said she cannot
be trusted in the White House.
The former first lady and New York senator has argued that she is more
trustworthy than Trump on handling the issues that matter to most Americans:
foreign policy, national security and running the economy.
But the email investigation has lingered throughout her campaign, and Trump
has asserted that Clinton will receive leniency from a Democratic
administration.
The investigation also poses an unwelcome distraction just as Clinton has
vanquished her primary rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, holds a huge
fundraising advantage over Trump and polls show her well-placed to become
America's first female president even as many voters question her
trustworthiness.
The questioning came a day after Attorney General Loretta Lynch said that
she intended to accept the findings and recommendations of career
prosecutors who have spent months investigating the case. Lynch came under
scrutiny for an impromptu meeting with Clinton's husband, former President
Bill Clinton, on Lynch's plane in Phoenix. Critics said the meeting between
Lynch and the ex-president was inappropriate given the investigation even
though Lynch and a Clinton spokesman said it was social in nature.
Trump, reacting to the meeting between Lynch and the former president on
Friday, said in Colorado: "He opened up a Pandora's Box. And it shows what's
going on. And it shows what's happening with our laws and with our
government."
While she was President Barack Obama's secretary of state, Clinton
exclusively used a private email server for her government and personal
emails, rather than the State Department's email system. The Associated
Press revealed the existence of the server in March 2015.
Clinton has said relying on a private server was a mistake but that other
secretaries of state had also used a personal email address.
The FBI is investigating the potential mishandling of sensitive information.
The matter was referred for investigation last July by the inspectors
general for the State Department and intelligence community following the
discovery of emails that they said contained classified information.
The State Department's inspector general, the agency's internal watchdog,
said in a blistering audit in May that Clinton and her team ignored clear
warnings from State Department officials that her email setup violated
federal standards and could leave sensitive material vulnerable to hackers.
Clinton declined to talk to the inspector general, but the audit reported
that Clinton feared "the personal being accessible" if she used a government
email account.
Agents have already interviewed top Clinton aides including her former State
Department chief of staff Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, a longtime aide who
is currently the vice chairwoman of Clinton's campaign.
The staffer who set up the server, Bryan Pagliano, was granted limited
immunity from prosecution by the Justice Department last fall in exchange
for his cooperation. The FBI as a matter of course seeks to interview
individuals central to an investigation before concluding its work.
The emails were routed through a server located in the basement of Clinton's
New York home during her tenure as the nation's top diplomat from 2009 to
2013.
Dozens of the emails sent or received by Clinton through her private server
were later determined to contain classified material.
Clinton has repeatedly said that none of the emails were marked classified
at the time they were sent or received. As part of the probe, she has turned
over the hard drive from her email server to the FBI.
The FBI interview comes as Clinton is set to embark on a major week of her
presidential campaign. She will join Obama for their first joint campaign
appearance on Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Clinton will follow
it up with an event on Wednesday in Atlantic City, New Jersey, aimed at
undercutting Trump's business practices. On Friday, Clinton will campaign
for the first time with Vice President Joe Biden in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Clinton is considering potential vice presidential choices and preparing to
formally receive the Democratic nomination on July 28 at the party's
convention in Philadelphia. | t*******d
