“Voluntary interview”?
Really?
Hopefully it was done under oath.
Yes, in was voluntary in the sense they called a gave her the choice to come in on her schedule or they would bring her in on theirs.
It was not done under oath but there are still charges that can be filed against anyone who lies to federal law officers. Under oath or not
Fmr Asst Dir of FBI was on Fox, said not under oath, but does not matter- it is against the law to lie to the FBI either way.
The FBI is not going to ask Herself any question they do not authoritatively and absolutely know the answer to.
If Herself answers, “I don’t recall”, she may very well be telling the truth to the best of her ability. Long bouts with excessive alcohol consumption tend to have that effect on the capacity to recall facts and specifics.
And a lot of this may have been done while distinctly under the influence of alcohol. Often results in total blackouts.
Voluntary because there are no charges. Hillary could have told the FBI “No thanks” and been within her constitutional rights. Politically, that would be damning. By being a public figure she has to dance like the innocent and speak like she is guilty. Hard to think she made it through this without obstructing justice with the content of over 60,000 emails in evidence.
“Hopefully it was done under oath.”
It was not under oath because it’s a voluntary appearance. That said, there is a statute that provides that irrespective of whether or not it’s under oath, it’s still a felony to lie to the FBI. FNC had a former deputy FBI Director on this am who said that “she doesn’t know what the FBI knows! She may think she does, but she doesn’t. So in 3.5 hours there are lots of places where she can lie unknowingly and get herself into trouble.”
