Exonerated on the fact that there was no political conspiracy there, the head of the fbi at the time comey was roundly criticized for being insubordinate for essentially being arrogant in the way he behaved and while the conclusions about not prosecute ing hillary clinton were not challenged it seems to me the fbi does have a lot of questions that they need to answer and thats why were seeing the current head of the fbi out there tonight. >> phil mudd, you worked at the cia but you worked at the...

In the worlds premier law enforcement agency and thats coming from someone who has defending defended them a s career. this was a bitterly disappointing report. >> first of all, this report shows that there was special treatment given to hillary clinton in the investigation of her case. there is not a standard procedure followed in investigating her, and there was special treatment given. there is no doubt that this was not a proper process and of the report shows time and time again how directo...
