Good evening. And we hope you had a great fourth of july. It was the dark cloud hanging over Hillary Clintons campaign for a year. Would she be indicted for using a private server for her email as secretary of state . And would it end her campaign . Today, without revealing his findings to the white house, the director of the fbi walked out, stood alone at that podium and delivered a blistering rebuke. And then, recommending no criminal charges. Hours later, Hillary Clinton walking off air force one in charlotte with the support of her onetime rival, president obama. I believe in Hillary Clinton. Tonight, donald trump calling the system rigged. Republicans outraged. And we have new reporting here, was Hillary Clinton watching the fbi director as he delivered his words . And how theyre really feeling inside her campaign, after the stinging words youre about to hear. We begin tonight with abcs Pierre Thomas. Reporter in the dramatic hastily arranged press conference, fbi director james comey walked out alone. The stakes incredibly high. The news so sensitive, comey says even the white house was kept in the dark. They do not know what im about to say. Reporter what came next, an extraordinary rebuke of former secretary of state Hillary Clintons use of her private email server to conduct government business. From the very beginning, clinton has insisted she never sent or received information that was classified at the time. But comey says his investigators uncovered many classified emails, including some that were marked. 110 emails in 52 email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Only a very small number of the emails here containing classified information bore markings that indicated the presence of classified information. Reporter his conclusion . Blistering. Although we did not find clear evidence that secretary clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information. Any reasonable person in secretary clintons position should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. Reporter investigators found no evidence that clintons sensitive emails were hacked, but comey does not give her a pass. She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving workrelated emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to secretary clintons personal email account. Reporter but ultimately, comey insists the decision whether to charge Hillary Clinton comes down to one question. Did she intentionally violate laws governing classified information . Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. And Pierre Thomas live with us tonight outside the fbi. And those words from the fbi director comey there, that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case, that now serves as a formal recommendation to the Justice Department, pierre . Reporter yes, david. Hes recommending that no charges be filed, and career prosecutors at the Justice Department will help make the final call. But no one is expecting them to disagree, so, the notion of a criminal case is effectively over. David . All right, Pierre Thomas leading us off tonight. The legal part of this might be over, but the political fallout was immediate and continues at this hour. Donald trump calling this rigged, as i mentioned, and just before we came on tonight, calling it a, quote, miscarriage of justice. But there was the president late today, standing behind Hillary Clinton, about to take to the podium, his first appearance with her on the trail. And the timing of this was not lost on anyone. Abcs cecilia vega is in charlotte. Reporter it wasnt shaping up to be the kind of day where Hillary Clinton would smile much, but there she was. Her most powerful political ally not just in her corner, but right there on her stage. Fired up ready to go i am im fired up. Hillary got me fired up. Reporter president Obama Joining clinton on the campaign trail just hours after the fbi blasted her for that email use. But from the president , nothing less than a ringing endorsement. And there has never been any man or woman more qualified for this office than Hillary Clinton. Ever. And thats the truth. Thats the truth. Reporter no mention of that investigation, but several nods to the long road theyve traveled together. Ive known the president in many roles. As a colleague in the senate, as an opponent in a hardfought primary. And reporter now, a united front against donald trump. Can you imagine him sitting in the oval office the next time america faces a crisis . Everybody can tweet. But nobody actually knows what it takes to do the job until youve sat behind the desk. Reporter but for trump, this image, clinton and the president sidebyside, hugging, proof of what hes said all along. We have a rigged system, folks. Reporter trump calling the fbis decision on clintons emails a total miscarriage of justice. Today is the best evidence ever that weve seen that our system is absolutely, totally rigged. Reporter but for clinton, the fbi announcement, sweet relief. Her team saying, we are glad that this matter is now resolved, and that it was a mistake to use her personal email, and she would not do it again. The democrats now trying to turn a page, with president obama leading the charge. Boosted by his skyhigh approval ratings. Im ready to pass the baton. And i know that Hillary Clinton is going to take it. And i know she can run that race. And cecilia vega back out live on the campaign trail tonight in charlotte. And cecilia, what are your sources telling you, was Hillary Clinton watching director comey today . And inside the campaign, you know this dark cloud, these possible criminal charges, it was their nightmare scenario. How are they feeling tonight . Reporter well, david, we know she didnt see the press Conference Live because she was actually speaking to teachers at the time. All along, Hillary Clinton and her aides had said they did not expect her to be charged, but there is a palpable sense of relief in the Clinton Campaign tonight. In fact, her Campaign Chair was here today, talking about obama being with her, and he called it a great day. David . Cecilia vega tonight with us, as always. Thank you, cecilia.

Where this fire started, in the forward part of the airplane, theres no fire extinguisher. So, this crews ability to fight this fire was really limited. Once the fire got going, there was really nothing that could be done and the flight was doomed. Reporter no distress call was received as the airbus a320 flew through clear skies from greece toward the egyptian coast just before 3 00 a. M. Then, suddenly plunging from 37,000 feet.
