According to Fox News' chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge, her contacts in the FBI and DOJ are "super pissed off" at what White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said about Hillary Clinton's email problems Friday. "That's not something I'm worried about," he told reporters at the daily briefing.
Earnest threw cold water on predictions that Hillary Clinton will face a Justice Department indictment for mishandling classified information on her private and unsecure email server while secretary of State..
"That will be a decision that will be made by the Department of Justice," he said. "Some officials have said she is not the target of the investigation and it does not seem to be the direction in which it is trending." Pressed again on whether he believed Clinton could get indicted, Earnest said firmly: "It doesn't seem to be headed in that direction."
Catherine Herridge told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News Friday evening that her sources in the FBI and Justice Department have "their backs up" over Earnest's comments.
"That statement by Josh Earnest has got the back up of our contacts at the FBI and Justice Department for two reasons... They are super pissed off - to use a technical term. Number one, Josh Earnest has absolutely no clearance or visibility in the FBI investigation. Number two, they say it really seems part of a troubling pattern from the White House because the president earlier said he did not see any national security implications to the Clinton emails and then we found out he had never been briefed." Herridge said that by "weighing in and leaving the public with an impression that is not backed up by the evidence in the case," the White House was making the situation even more political than it needed to be.
When she mentioned the "troubling pattern from the White House," Herridge was referring to the October 60 Minutes interview in which the president called Clinton's use of a private server "a mistake," but said it had not endangered national security. He said the issue was being "ginned up" into an attack by Republicans for political reasons.
The former occupant of the office of Attorney General, one Eric Holder, is an announced supporter of Hillary Clinton as is the New York Times, which was very agitated forty years ago over one Richard Nixon, whose purported “crimes” were of far lesser import than what Bill Clinton’s spouse has done.
I agree. From everything I’ve seen, the FBI has seemed pretty serious about this investigation.
The Clinton’s make Nixon look like a saint.
Yep...Gibbs, Carney and Earnest are three of a kind doing the lying for 0bama.
Unless Hillary is already on double secret probation, not a damn thing is going to happen. Doesn’t anyone what it was like when Bill was president?
Somebody will “go Snowden” over this, and eventually we will see proof of Hillary’s crimes,whether or not she is punished. Ending the dynasty is something, at least.
Look for Huma to parcel up the baby and head to the middle east, somewhere where non-extraditable.
That and $4 will get them a cup of Starbucks.
P.O certain other 3 lettered agencies may not get one indicted but get one to room temperature permanently
Any republican president would have been forced to accept an independent prosecutor by now.
Maybe even a little fist shaking will be involved.

If the FBI wants to join the revolution against this corrupt state, they are more than welcome. Heck they might stop shooting us and start shooting the real enemy.
