Clinton’s FBI Interviews Handed Over To Congress
Americans have mixed feelings on which presidential candidate will do better on key issues like health care, trade, the economy and terrorism.

The documents are reportedly being kept in a secure room on Capitol Hill, alongside other sensitive materials.
All leaks of classified information are not created equal- at least not for top officials running Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
“[I] t is inappropriate to unnecessarily mingle classified and unclassified information”, Grassley told Senate Security Director Michael DiSilvestro, according to the AP.
Distinctly, the committee’s Republican chairperson confirmed that he doesn’t have enough security clearance to view the documents completely.
FBI Director James Comey subsequently criticized Clinton’s use of a homebrew email server to handle work-related emails as careless, but said his agency’s year-long investigation found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
But the new development that work-related emails from Clinton, never previously disclosed to the public, will be handed over to watchdog group Judicial Watch offers Chaffetz and House Republicans another real shot at building a solid perjury case.
Grassley and other Republicans are upset because the Federal Bureau of Investigation has mixed in classified information with the rest of the files, leaving only certain lawmakers able to view all of the material. The release of information by the FBI related to a closed investigation is highly unusual. “The people’s interest would be served in seeing the documents that are unclassified”. Sharing classified documents from a closed FBI investigation is very rare, and not surprisingly, the transfer of the Clinton files – an investigative summary, “302” reports on interviews with Clinton and others, and classified emails recovered from her private server – was immediately subject to partisan sniping.
The documents were believed to include notes from the FBI’s three-hour interview with Mrs Clinton in early July, the last step in a lengthy investigation into her email practices as secretary of state that continues to dog her run for president. One: “Secretary Clinton did not intend to send or receive classified information”, she said. He said if all the documents were unclassified, then it would be surprising – though not prohibited – for them to be stored in a SCIF.
“The FBI should make as much of the material available as possible”, Mr. Grassley said in a statement. “The alternative would be to break up the materials into separate classified and unclassified parts and preserve them in separate locations, which might be awkward or inconvenient”.

As was mentioned yesterday, FBI Acting Assistant Director Jason Herring wrote a letter accompanying the release of the material to Congress that included a stern warning about leaking any of the material to the public.
