FBI releases documents in Clinton email investigation
The records provide the most thorough look yet at the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state: A summary prepared by FBI agents of their hours-long interview with Clinton in July shows she repeatedly told agents she could not recall important details. The documents paint Clinton and her staff as unaware of or unconcerned with State Department email policies. The materials show the FBI was unable to track down all of Clinton's devices it sought, and that made it impossible for agents to definitively determine whether her emails were hacked.
Clinton was right about a 'vast right-wing conspiracy.' Here's why it exists.
The Clintons' aversion to transparency, as well as their tendency to skirt the rules and play close to the legal and ethical line, have made it easier for their enemies.
