Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was questioned by the FBI for over three hours Saturday over her use of a private email server for official correspondence while secretary of state. The meeting -- characterized as "voluntary" because there was no subpoena -- lasted about three and a half hours according to reports, and was conducted at the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Via Fox News:
Clinton “is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion” campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement. He also said Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, will not make further comment about the interview.Clinton’s use of the private server and email address -- particularly whether the setup was used for classified information and how secure they were -- has cast a shadow over her campaign from the start.
The FBI investigation is purportedly coming to a close, and the Clinton interview is considered among the final steps in the case.
The Clinton campaign has long characterized the FBI investigation as a "security review" or "security inquiry" in order to downplay the severity of the probe. In what PJ Media's J. Christian Adams interpreted as a very bad sign, Attorney General Loretta Lynch recently used the same language, calling it a "security inquiry." But FBI Director James Comey said he wasn't familiar with such language, saying in May, "we’re conducting an investigation… That’s what we do.”
"She is the main subject -- we believe with good reason -- of a criminal investigation here," said former FBI Assistant Director Steve Pomerantz on Fox News today. "And this interview -- interrogation if you will -- is the culmination of that lengthy investigation."
Pomerantz said, "the agents who conducted this interview have prepared for weeks, if not months, and have a list of questions very long to ask her. It's an adversarial process." He continued, "these agents -- if you'll excuse the terminology -- they want to sweat her. They want to get her under pressure, and they want to get answers to tough questions that they have."
The former G-man added, "this is not a pleasant process for her."
The ongoing email scandal blew up earlier this week when Bill Clinton initiated a meeting with Lynch on her airplane
on an airport tarmac in Phoenix, prompting calls for Lynch to recuse herself.
“There’s no good reason for her to have met with him. None. Zip,” said former U.S. Attorney Joseph DiGenova during an interview with The Daily Caller.
Per Trump Twitter: It was just announced-by sources-that no charges will be brought against Crooked Hillary Clinton. Like I said, the system is totally rigged! (@realdonaldtrump)
Too bad they couldn’t just waterboard the lying witch.
We’ll never get any truth from her lying lips.
Kabuki theater, but I wish it wasn’t. I had a beautiful vision just now of Hillary being led off to prison in manacles with a 4th of July fireworks show thundering overhead and The Stars And Stripes Forever blaring through thousand-inch speakers that raise dust on the moon. What a wonderful birthday present that would be for our country.
The evidence is there. The big question seems to be, how fearful are these people in the FBI? Not just fearful of Reptillary, but her husband, obama and the democrat machine. A perfect storm of hell could be unleashed on any or all of those involved in the investigation... and their families.
Thanks...I guess that’s not a surprise to most of us.
FBI: Mrs Clinton, we believe we have enough information to issue an indictment.
Queen: Remember Vince Foster? Your taxes all OK? I hear audits are getting more and more fierce.

Betcha a big chunk of the Clinton Foundation riches got re-distributed.
You couldn’t get the truth out of her
with waterboarding, hot lights and rubber hoses.

Oh dear Gd let this be true.
3 1/2 hours of ‘ i don’t recall’? more like 3 1/2 hours of “you bust me, i claim victimhood and political persecution and become the first political prisoner in generations. you can’t touch me because i’m gonna be your boss, and you’re gonna be my ex employee if you don’t toe the line.’
AMEN! Our country desperately needs that for restoring the rule of law.
what sources?
Wehave a new definition of “interrogate”
The interesting thing is that the FBI came and took her to FBI headquarters. They didn’t come to her place of choice. Maybe I’m reading too much into this. But, after all, she is a criminal!!!
Trump needs to keep it in peoples mind how crooked not only is Hillary but this whole corrupt system that has a different justice system for the elites than it does for the rest of us.
