"Federal agents were still cataloging the classified information from Clinton’s personal email server
last week when Obama went on television and played down the matter.
last week when 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.
The
White House quickly backed off the president’s remarks and said Mr.
Obama was not trying to influence the investigation. But his comments
spread quickly, raising the ire of officials who saw an instance of the
president trying to influence the outcome of a continuing investigation —
and not for the first time." Politico
