Obama's comments on Clinton email raises concerns of bias

OBAMA'S COMMENTS ON CLINTON EMAIL RAISES CONCERNS OF BIAS (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBAMA_CLINTON_EMAILS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2016-04-12-17-52-06)

Although I doubt the FBI investigators give crap about Obama's thoughts on their criminal investigation.


President Barack Obama says he believes his former secretary of state did not intentionally endanger national security in her handling of classified information. But he also says he's not trying to influence his administration's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

The White House on Tuesday was under pressure to reconcile those two statements - asserting Obama's public defense of Clinton was not an attempt to meddle in an ongoing probe and that federal investigators will not be swayed by the boss's views.



The FBI is investigating whether sensitive information that flowed through Clinton's email server was mishandled.

There are also at least 38 civil lawsuits, including one filed by The Associated Press, seeking records related to Clinton's time as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.


It wasn't the first time that Obama has suggested that he doesn't think there's much to the email controversy. In October, he said flatly he didn't think the set-up posed a national security problem.


Each time he weighs in, it raises legal experts' eyebrows and roils political adversaries. Republicans this week have suggested Obama is signaling prosecutors to go easy, and using a different standard for Clinton that has been applied to other administration officials investigated for mishandling information, like former CIA Director David Petraeus.

The FBI investigators don't care, but the justice department leadership does.

That is true.

The vast majority of Americans care more about the Economy, Jobs and their Families Future and not these F'cking Emails that don't matter to anyone but Politicians looking for a distraction from their jobs, while getting Paid to do NOTHING!

[Rebel Son]

We agree on one thing cigar, the politicians are sitting on their ass doing nothing even when they are in Washington. The law is still the law however and if Hillary broke it then she should be charged. The DOJ is as bad as the rest of the idiots up there. I'm sure they can take a few minutes off from slandering the police and supporting blm to look into the matter.

Sure Cigar. The FBI always spends nearly a year investigating things that don't matter.

So true, although your sarcasm is far from justified.

[michiganFats]

Obama shouldn't have said anything at all.

Pay's to be President, your team should try it some day. :laugh:

[michiganFats]

Blamed by the right when he does and blamed by the right when he doesn't.

It has nothing to do with Left or Right, there's an ongoing investigation and he shouldn't have opened his yapper.

[Tahuyaman]

Blamed by the right when he does and blamed by the right when he doesn't.

That's because he's so utterly incompetent, he doesn't understand when it's appropriate to get involved in something and when it's not.

His greatest accomplishment is filling out an NCAA basketball tournament bracket.

He doesn't get that. He's a staunch partisan.

It doesn't take a lot of Deep Thought to figure out The GOP ... after all, look who's your Leading Candidates for President of The United States :roflmao::f_cheers:

You may want to put that shovel away.

Look, when I said that you weren't a deep thinker, it was just a polite way to say that you aren't very smart..... Ok?

[MisterVeritis]

Sadly. The date he leaves office will be memorialized as The End of an Error.

I'm betting Conservatives will forget all about President Obama ... the day Madam Clinton and The First Dude take back the Office :roflmao:

Funny, but I've never expected or wanted anything from a President ... how about you?

I just want one who's not an embarrassment.

So let me get this straight... Every Republican and their brother can run around opening their YAPPER about Clinton and the F'ing email faux scandal... Voicing opinions about how guilty she is and lying about the investigation, while it's ongoing... and that's OK? But let the President give his thoughts and somehow that's not? Oh... alrighty then.. IOKIYAR

Was I talking about every other republican? No, I wasn't. There is an ongoing investigation, Obama shouldn't have said anything at all. Nothing anyone else does affects whether or not Obama should have opened his trap.

So only Obama is not allowed to "open his trap"?? BUT...

https://bluejaysway.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/its_ok_if_youre_a_republican.jpg

Fact remains toots.... IF an investigation is OPEN and it's not ok to comment on it.. then no one should.. Don't you agree? and that includes all the Republican lawmakers and the presidential candidates too..

[michiganFats]

No one should open their trap about an ongoing investigation, including Obama.

So true, although your sarcasm is far from justified.
You might try reading a little deeper Beevee like the released FBI report of their investigation. From that report;

"The limited investigation lasted from February to May 1964"

That's 4 months at best, probably 3 months and some days.

Seems my sarcasm is justified.

[Quicksilver]

I agree... So long as YOU agree that the Republican lawmakers, pundits. AND the presidential candidates should STFU about it too.. but we see how well they are doing that.. OR is it only those who have positive things to say about Clinton and the investigation should shut up... those that want to paint her as guilty are free to YAP away?

Not really. They will investigate anything that moves, if asked by the right people.

Its pretty clear hillary was very reckless with classified documents and it probably did compromise national security.

But the base of the democrat party which may or may not be enough to elect hillary does not care about emails.

All they care about is being able to butt fuck their buddy in the ladies restroom and getting their welfare checks on time.

and hillary passes lib muster on both those issues

Why should I agree with you? Obama opening his cock holster has nothing to do with what others have said.

[Quicksilver]

Why is that? Isn't one yap opening the same as other yap opening? OR as I asked.. is it only favorable yap openings that should be silenced?

No, it's not the same. You're deflecting.

No just asking why one is ok and one is NOT ok. They are absolutely the same.. YOU are a partisan HACK..hahahahahaha

I didn't ask anything, I responded to the OP. You are the one bringing other things in to the thread.

Since when is the President not allowed to be biased? It's always been a platform for opinion. Good on you Mr. President.

As long as you understand that. It's all about the bias.

And the constant drone and drumbeat about Hillary's emails coming from the Right is NOT?

Ultimately the president is in charge of the justice system in the US. He should not try to use his position to taint the process. He has done it before in other cases.

Bad move.

[Beevee]

It has nothing to do with Left or Right, there's an ongoing investigation and he shouldn't have opened his yapper.

But, but, but, don't you accept that the first amendment gives him the right to say whatever he chooses to say, just as in the same way that Nancy Grace condemned the Duke University Lacrosse members?

Whether the statement is right or wrong is irrelevant in the US. The Constitution permits the telling of lies, without a backlash, I might add since the cost of litigation would cost 10,000 arms and legs.

[Peter1469]

In the military it is called undue command influence. Because the officers on the panel (jury) is ultimately accountable to the generals on post. If one say so and so is guilty or not guilty it taints the panel. Military judges toss out criminal charges over that stuff.

It is a simple matter of the proper use of the bully pulpit. Republicans do it all the time when in office. It's OUR turn and will be again for 8 more years. Suck it up Pete and remember it's what you folks legislate like that brings that into being.
