From The New York Times, Oct. 16, 2015:
Federal agents were still cataloging the classified information from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal email server last week when President Obama went on television and played down the matter.
“I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” Mr. Obama said Sunday on CBS’s “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 America’s national security was endangered.”
Those statements angered F.B.I. agents who have been working for months to determine whether Ms. Clinton’s email setup had in fact put any of the nation’s 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.
According to a veteran FBI agent has had a 20-year career in federal law enforcement and serves in a supervisory capacity in a domestic FBI field office, Hillary could be prosecuted in federal court for failing to tell her superior, Obama, about her private email server at the time she was running it.
The agent said failing to put Obama in the loop could be enough to send Hillary to prison for ten years. (Daily Mail)
