Hillary’s camp including many in the media sure has spun this many ways, many times. She did it because she only wanted to use one device even though she used 3, she did not send or receive anything ‘marked’ classified, she did not delete any emails, she did nothing wrong, she didn’t do anything others haven’t done before her, there were no backups made, legal experts say charges are unlikely, she did not intentionally break the law, prosecution ‘is not going to happen’, it is just a ‘security review’, she is not being interviewed by FBI she just had ‘a conversation’, and now ‘there will be no indictment’.
All respect to Drudge, he doesn’t know for sure what the sources for the recent reports are. He may be right, who knows. You would think that if it was open and shut that the FBI would be able to figure it out in a few weeks but this has dragged on for months and months. At the very least the way this has dragged on suggests that they have a lot of evidence and need to weed through each piece, get testimony, and decide the merits on each and every one of them. If they have a lot of evidence then logically it means more and more likely that there are crimes to charge. If they only had 1 or 2 pieces of evidence then they could come to a quick decision whether the burden of proof has been met.

3.5 hours is nothing.
Depositions on Car accidents take twice that.
This was a simple formality. Kendall wouldn’t have her answering any questions without assurances that there are no charges.

“they have a lot of evidence and need to weed through each piece,’
Good God they haven’t done this yet?
I’d trust Drudge over CNN any day of the week. CNN has been caught in nearly as many flubbed reports and outright lies as Hillary.
I can’t think of a single one from Drudge.
This would all be true BUT for the fact that she DESIGNED this server to SPEC. Crazy but TRUE.
Thus SHE is subject to Federal Records Act, and State Dept policy, and Pentagon/NSI/Homeland laws.
As has been pointed out repeatedly, Petraeus pled guilty to one misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information under a far narrower inquiry yet very. similar. circumstances.

They had prima facie evidence of a National Security Felony the instant they found TS/SCI information on her server.
What they are doing now is legally, and methodically gathering the evidence as who and how many are responsible for that...in a manner that not even a sympathetic jury could ignore.
And sufficient that even a POTUS or AG would not interfere.
That takes time.
It's "dragged on and on" because the Clintons specialize in stonewalling investigators.
Back in the '90s they were very successful at this, refusing to release evidence during the multiple criminal investigations, or delaying it for so long that it took years (prompting the Dim slogan "Move On!").
The Clintons' flacks blamed the investigators for "taking years" and "costing the taxpayers millions." Their accomplices in the media, pretending to miss the irony, dutifully parroted those lines.
Exactly the same template is now being used by the Clintons and their corrupt media to attack the Benghazi investigation.
What we know as part of the public record is sufficient. She agreed to, not do several things with just having the server, and giving access to the server to uncleared people - like Blumenthal - under penalty of law.
If this were 50 years ago, the investigation would be to determine where along the continuum between 30 years and the death penalty her sentence would be.
