Of louisiana. They shot him . Yeah. The officer placed on administrative leave. Rolling over. No winner until Mega Millions drawing, the jackpot soaring more than half a billion today. Today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody, welcome to today, wednesday morning, we have willie in for matt again. Nothing short of a monumental day. Politics is our stop story. Donald trump and other leading republicans responding to the fbis recommendation not to pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server multiple private servers while she was secretary of state. We have complete coverage of the decision, the reaction, the fallout. Andrea mitchell, good morning to you. Good morning, were here in Atlantic City where Hillary Clinton had hoped to focus on Donald Trumps business empire, including several bankruptcies, but it is clinton whose on the defensive today over the fallout from the email scandal including the stinging rebuke from the fbi director. Donald trump in battleground, North Carolina, attacking Hillary Clinton as unfit to be president. This is one of the most crooked politicians in history. Reporter his comments coming after the director of the fbi tuesday blasted clintons use of a private email address and server while she was secretary of state. But recommending no criminal charges be filed against her or her aids. Today is the best evidence ever that weve seen that our system is absolutely, totally rigged. It reporter trump also teeing off on a New York Times report that clinton was open to keeping Loretta Lynch as attorney general, just days after the private meeting with bill clinton. Its a bribe the attorney general sitting there saying if i get hillary off the hook, im going to have four more years or eight more years. But if she loses, im out of a job, its a bribe reporter no mention of the bomb shell news by clinton or president obama. Campaigning together for the first time also in North Carolina. There has never been any man or woman more qualified for this office than Hillary Clinton. Reporter both democrats tearing into trump. Donald trump is simply unqualified ander it permently unfit to be our president and commander in chief. This is not a reality show, i reporter but the political heat remains on clinton after the fbi director scathing comments about her email practices. There is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information. Reporter james comey refuting clintons past claims that no emails were classified. I did not send or receive any material marked classified. Any reasonable person in secretary clintons position or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about those matters should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. Reporter and her claim that her private server was safe from hacking. There were no security breaches. We assessed it isisis posble that hostile actors gained access to secretary clintons account. Republicans were quick to bounce. She grossly was negligent, and now she wants to be commander in chief. Reporter and the House Speaker says House Republicans will call hearings to demand that comey, the fbi director, explain why he decided to recommend against prosecuting clinton. Clinton trying to turn the page here in Atlantic City, is expected to join striking workers at trumps former taj mahal casino. Theyve lost their pensions because of his business practices, willie and savannah. On the trail, thank you. A lot to sift through here, lets bring in chuck todd, nicole wallace, and ari melvin. Good morning. This is such a big story, we needed three of you today. Lets start with you chuck and the reaction in clinton world. I suppose its relief, on the other hand, if youre saying good thing we werent indicted, not a good thing to celebrate. Nothing to celebrate, but it is a minimal sense of relief. They have to sit here and rebut charge after charge. She had a cpl talking points, i never sent or received classified. The director says no, thats not true. And then he said, somebody in your position should have known better even on some of the exchanges that were there. She has a credibility problem, its the head of the fbi that says she has a credibility problem. On any other day against any other candidate, this would be a total and complete disaster, but its something about trump that kind of you say, well, she can recover, i guess. Nicole, no recommendation of charges. Chuck though touched on just one of the contributions laid out, the account was vulnerable to hackers, perhaps to foreign actors. Deleted work emails, multiple servers, multiple devices, this goes against what she said. Even without a recommendation of an indictment, did you feel the race changing at all . I had this feeling that what i always think is true is that voters always get it right. Even when they dont have all the information, t the question, we talked about this yesterday, on the question of honesty and trust worthiness, shes a 22point deficit to donald trump. What happened yesterday, affirms what voters already know to be true is that she has a complicated relationship to the truth. I would say to your point, i watched the 66minute trump speech last night and nearly wept. He got to the points he needed to make to bring this into focus with the politically neutral fbi director said about Hillary Clinton lying on six occasions about email practices, but it was wrapped in so much other stuff, i wasnt sure and im still not sure that it will be the effective, sort of honing in on a message that he needs to prosecute if he wants to win. The question is whether trump prosecutes the political case, still legal questions ari about whether this is a criminal case. If you look at that statute, there was an issue that was raised and people are keying into words that the fbi said. She was extreme her email practices. There is a criminal statute that allows for a prosecution if someone is grossly negligent, and for many people, especially a lay ear, you hear careless and grossly nejts, sounds like the same thing, sounds like a case that could be brought. I think its an important point, but one that jim comey is well aware and the bush administration, there is no standard that they didnt meet criminally, and the carelessness is a judgment call. It is a criticism, but i would call it a nonlegal criticism. He carefully picked those words to say that. And that goes to what happened yesterday. Unusual presentation that allows people to process this information. It was effectively a very clean book of health on the ideaed that there were no crimes, because not only said we recommend no charges, no reasonable prosecutor would move forward on these facts, and then, as just discussed, the outlying many things that are disconcerting potentially for voters. I think whats important here if theres a page to turn is we have a legal process, we have an fbi that nonpartisan. Jim comey will be working for the next president no matter whom it is. And so this is a chance for folks to look at what he said, voters to assess, and to go back to policy and political analysis after the legal analysis from our career investigators has been no crime occurred here. Trump has said, petraeus was charged for doing less. Is that a correct analogy . Legally that is not true. David petraeus took eight notebooks physically and handed them to someone who had no authorized access she had clearance let me finish. Signed a plea deal with prosecutors that said he admitted to misleading fbi agents in october 2012. There are differences, theres a fair debate all of this, that case does have different legal facts. Hillary clinton was out campaigning with president obama a couple hours after all this happened and no reference and not even a hint about it and does this go away as easily the cloud is still there and she did not get the clean political bill of health. I think paul ryan is about to prosecute this case well and i dont know about donald trump. Mixing in, as nicole said yesterday, mixing in Saddam Hussein, and then trashing comey . He ought to be praising comey and then using his words against her and this is donald trump. Those were not tears of joy. This is where trump becomes sort of a riddle wrapped in a headache and conundrum, and this is a day when you had a clear strike against Hillary Clinton made by the fbi director himself, and you could have played it at your rally and say listen to him. Tower. Good morning to you. Reporter this morning, Jared Kushner said he has seen donald trump embrace people all racial backgrounds. From the soninlaw of a candidate that rarely says sorry, no apologies. Jared kushner pushing back against allegations donald trump is antisemitic. Quote, my fatherinlaw is an incredible loving and tolerant person who has embraced my family and judism. The imagery is clear and to pretend its not there is willfully deleted tweet sent from trumps account on saturday. Text calling Hillary Clinton the most corrupt candidate ever. People are seeing having a jewish son in law as a get out of jail free card for donald trump, and i would want to know why jared cusher is will be to be so complacent in that. Where is jared, my son in law . My son in law is jewish. Powerful presences on the campaign trail and kushner playing an important part. Late tuesday, a kind of addition for one possible running made, senator bob privilege today to spend time with this and to spend time with his family and to spend time th those that know him so well. He is being vetted as a potenti potential vp pick. Reporter trump praising Saddam Hussein for how he handled terrorism. Listen. Saddam hussein was a bad guy, right . He was a bad guy. A really bad guy. But you know what he did well . He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didnt read them the rights and didnt talk, and they were terrorists and it was over. This is not the first time trump has made similar comments, but these are gaining traction overnight trending on twitter, and Hillary Clintons camp quick comments for brutal dictators and the twisted lessons he learned from their his redemonstrate how dangerous he would be as the president , and paul ryan distancing himself from trumps remarks calling hussein one of the 20th centurys most evil people.
