The FBI
Delivered Materials to Congress, and That Can’t Make Her Happy
Last week the FBI delivered interview summaries and related materials to
Congress. Senator Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
wants the unclassified materials released to the public. As he stated on his
website, “[t]he public’s business ought to be public, with few exceptions.” My
guess is that this is an issue that Republicans will pursue with zeal.
The General Made Me Do It
Near the
end of my July 8 post regarding Hilary Clinton’s escape from criminal charges
for Emailgate, I mentioned Colin Powell as one of several reasons why she was not charged. As I wrote, “does anyone think Director Comey would bring a case against
you that might suggest indirectly that Powell acted improperly?” And now a New York Times article
reports that during her FBI interview, Clinton stated that Colin Powell told her to use
personal email. The article also details an alleged 2009 email exchange about
Powell’s email practices at State and a dinner party at which he allegedly gave
the advice.
