Finally! FBI to interrogate Clinton in email scandal

ClintonFBI2
It’s been months in the making — but it looks like it’s finally happening soon.
Thursday, multiple sources in the FBI revealed they have been interrogating top aides of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her growing email scandal.
And those sources confirmed that the FBI is set to haul Clinton in for questioning in the coming weeks, right as the 2016 general election campaigning process ramps up.
With a former Clinton IT specialist and a notorious Romanian hacker reportedly cooperating with the FBI, it may finally be time for Clinton to panic.
“One of the final and most anticipated steps in the probe is an interview of the former secretary of state,” CNN reported. “The fact that Clinton is a presidential candidate active on the campaign trail presents some logistical challenges for the FBI, which has been quietly bringing witnesses into an FBI office without drawing attention.”
The FBI has interviewed Huma Abedin, a close aide to Clinton, regarding Clinton’s private email server setup, a person familiar with the probe said Thursday.

The FBI and Justice Department have been investigating whether sensitive information that flowed through Clinton’s email server was mishandled.
Abedin was one of Clinton’s closest aides during her tenure as the nation’s top diplomat, serving as deputy chief of staff. According to reports, other Clinton aides have also been interviewed — and Clinton herself is set to be questioned soon.
It is not known how much longer the investigation will take, but inside sources say the Clinton interrogation will come within weeks, CNN reported Thursday. FBI Director James Comey has said there is no timetable for finishing the probe and it’s being done thoroughly.
On Wednesday, a federal judge in Washington also said he may order Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, to testify under oath about whether she used a private email server to evade public records disclosures.
The order from U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan granted a request from the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch to question six current and former State Department staffers, including Abedin, about the creation and purpose of the email system. Those interviews would be part of a civil case from Judicial Watch about whether the State Department conducted an adequate search of public records in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

Cynthia-
She should be interrogated under oath, not “maybe”. It has taken way too long. Just like the Benghazi investigation has taken way too long. An average American citizen would never be given these bend over backward considerations.
It doesn’t matter whether she’s under oath or not. Lying to the FBI is another crime, all on it’s own. But she’ll lie; that’s what she does. She’ll be caught; that’s what the FBI does. That will be a separate charge, perhaps for each lie they catch her in, no doubt.
As to the reasons it’s taking so long? They’re manifold, but here’s two the come to mind right off:
First, H “I Liar” has powerful, wealthy friends, friends that have managed to stonewall every investigation so far, from the time she “made” tens-if-not-hundreds of thousands of dollars trading “cattle futures” as a governor’s wife, as well as shredding documents and getting away with it during the Whitewater investigation once BJ Billy was president(and lots more, of course).


The second reason is perhaps more practical: the FBI guys are not stupid, and they KNOW that if they prosecute her too soon, D’OweBama will simply pardon her – and perhaps akin to Ford’s pardon of Nixon, pardon her for EVERYTHING she’s ever done, to boot.
Now, i’m not certain what the laws are regarding presidential pardons, but i’m pretty sure that no pardon can be issued prior to a conviction – so it may still be possible to indict and try her, while delaying the actual sentencing until AFTER D’OweBama leaves office…when he’ll no longer have the power to do SQUAT insofar as pardoning anyone.
And one more objective just occurred to me as a possibility: maybe they’ll try to get H “I Liar” to roll over on D’OweBama, so he can be arrested semi-simultaneously; after all, he has committed dozens of crimes while illegally occupying the WH, up to and including Treason. All that is needed to assure that D’OweBama is convicted is two witnesses to the same overt act.
