FBI criminal investigation: Hillary interviewed for over 3 hours

Here's is something to talk about with your friends and families over the long July 4th holiday. The Democratic Part is on the verge on doing something historic when they formally select their candidate--when Hillary Clinton accepts her party's nomination she'll still be under be under FBI criminal investigation for her mishandling of classified emails while serving as Barack Obama's secretary of state.

From AP:
But as the past week shows, the case is complicated. Clinton sat down with the FBI just days after her husband, former President Bill Clinton, walked across a hot airport tarmac in Phoenix for an impromptu meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Lynch's husband. The couple had just landed.

The nation's top law enforcement official later expressed regret that she had met with the former president, whose plane was about to depart Phoenix, even though she said it was social in nature and they did not discuss the email review. Bill Clinton nominated Lynch as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York in 1999.

Lynch said Friday that she intended to accept the findings and recommendations of career prosecutors who have spent months investigating the case.

Clinton’s campaign did not comment on the meeting between Lynch and the ex-president. But it has raised questions about its propriety given the investigation, and congressional Republicans have renews calls for the appointment of a special prosecutor in the case.
