Federal agents were still cataloging the classified information from Hillary Rodham Clintons personal email server last week when President Obama went on television and played down the matter.
I dont think it posed a national security problem, Mr. Obama said Sunday on CBSs 60 Minutes. He said it was a mistake for Mrs. Clinton to use a private email account when she was secretary of state, but his conclusion was unmistakable: This is not a situation in which Americas national security was endangered.
Those statements angered F.B.I. agents who have been working for months to determine whether Ms. Clintons email setup had in fact put any of the nations secrets at risk, according to current and former law enforcement officials.
Investigators have not reached any conclusions about whether the information on the server had been compromised or whether to recommend charges, according to the law enforcement officials. But to investigators, it sounded as if Mr. Obama had already decided the answers to their questions and cleared anyone involved of wrongdoing.
SNIP
But Mr. Obamas remarks in the Clinton email case were met with particular anger at the F.B.I. because they echoed comments he made in 2012, shortly after it was revealed that a former C.I.A. director, David H. Petraeus, was under investigation, accused of providing classified information to a mistress who was writing a book about him.
I have no evidence at this point, from what Ive seen, that classified information was disclosed that in any way would have had a negative impact on our national security, the president said at a 2012 news conference, as the F.B.I. was trying to answer that very question about Mr. Petraeus.

Hillary’s run for POTUS is generating $$$$billions for the fake foundation.
She doesn’t care about the outcome, only her bank account matters.
The Clintons are a blight on our history and future generations (if there are any), will question our common sense, core values and moral conscience for supporting/tolerating these “American” criminals.
Not to worry, Obama know what he was doing. Same as McCarthy and Hanna knew what they were doing.
Textbook examples of how to kill an investigation and discredit it at the same time.
In Obama’s case, a signal that Dim Joe ain’t gonna run .
In Hanna’s & McCarthy’s case? Signal that the Republicans are ready to surrender to the Progressive State? Probably.
He's on medication you know.
he knows nothing except what he is told
he is likely saying what he was told to say
he is a chronic liar nothing he ever says can be believed
Michelle, My Belle, NOT. Yes, there is a 4th alternative it's just too frightening to contemplate.
Hussein was telling the FBI to back off now.
Joe just won’t commit, so maybe you are right.
those primary deadlines are irrelevant to Democrats and can and will be changed or ignored if necessary to attain whatever results are deemed most appropriate up to the day before Primary day.
I think it is pretty clearly “direction.”
Just because it's happened before doesn't mean they don't care if it happens again.
Captain chaos strikes again.
For months to figure out if it put anything at risk? Obviously they've got 3 developers and a system analyst working on it. (those of you who have ever worked in software will get this one) :)
[Just like every other tradition and institution in this country, they wish to tear down, they want to do away with the silly notion of classification of information (unless it deals with their own dirty little secrets - like college transcripts, admission records, passport records, medical records on The One, etc.).]
^This +1
And Marketing. No project is ever so screwed up it can't be made worse by Marketing getting involved.
Definitely high
Too bad. I worry about cross-over voting. If they have a coronation on their side they will vote for Jeb or Marco in our primaries.
The most she could be charged with would be a Federal Misdemeanor, Title 18, United States Code (USC), Section 1924(This is the same thing that Petraeus was charged with: for which he received 2 years probation and a 100k fine)and she would not be allowed to run for public office. Also under 18 USC § 3282 a Grand Jury must issue a Federal indictment within five (5) years after the defendant committed the offense. Benghazi Attack occurred on September 11, 2012.
"Working for months"?
It's not rocket surgery, guys. "Felony" Clinton committed multiple felonies.
Arrest her and charge her.
“it sounded as if Mr. Obama had already decided the answers to their questions and cleared anyone involved of wrongdoing”
President Picard has already told his minons “Make it so” to think otherwise is delusional.
That could very well be the case. Another possibility: Obama could have made those comments to give himself "plausible deniability" so that, when Hillary is indicted, he can express his regret about Hillary while "deferring" to the Justice Department's judgement in this matter. Then Biden can step in and rescue the party.
