Andrea Mitchell Needs to Stop Lying: the FBI is not Investigating HRC

Mitchell wasn't happy today as she wants to keep her foot on Hillary's neck. But she couldn't really claim that the hearings yesterday were in anyway a success for Gowdy and friends.

She did though try to claim that they should have gotten into a debate about larger Libyan policy. This is the definition of a fishing expedition. Just like with Ken Starr in the 90s, if one line of inquiry turns up nothing. switch to another.

Benghazi was supposed to be about the specific attacks of 9/11/2012. If Andrea wants to debate Libya maybe she should run for President.

Then she said that even if HRC got out from under the Benghazi witch hunt, the FBI may still turn up something on her. This is a lie that Mitchell has propagated again and again on MSNBC.

"Now that Hillary Clinton has emerged from eleven hours of Benghazi and email testimony unscathed, and the supposed scandal appears to have been all put put to bed in the minds of the American mainstream, some republican candidates and conservative voters alike are still saying “Just wait for the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton to play out.” Here’s the catch: there is no FBI investigation of Clinton. In fact there never was one. And the FBI has publicly said as much."

They have done so, yet Mitchell has repeatedly claimed HRC is being investigated by the FBI. It's one thing when Donald Trump declares that HRC may not be able to continue with her campaign because she will be in leg irons soon-Trump is running as a buffoon and nobody has any doubt about that.

But Mitchell sets herself up as a journalist and ought to get this right.

Again, the FBI is not investigating her and she is the only Secretary of State to cooperate with them in giving them her emails.

"The FBI is running a wide reaching investigation into whether the private email servers that were installed by Hillary Clinton and her predecessors Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice were more secure than the official email server at the State Department. This requires examining the servers in question, which is why all three Secretaries of State were asked to provide their servers for testing. Thus far only Clinton has obliged. If any charges were to be filed, they would be against hackers. In such case Clinton would be classified as the victim of a crime. In other words, the FBI is running an investigation on her behalf, not an investigation into her. And that’s not merely my view."

"For its part, the FBI confirmed to the New York Times back in August that Hillary Clinton “is not a target of the investigation.” Republicans in congress tacitly confirmed this today by not trying to play up the angle of the FBI supposedly charging with Clinton with some kind of imagined crime, because they know that no such thing is on the table."
