Obama: Claims of ‘quid pro quo’ over Clinton email ‘just not true’

One day after the FBI released notes in which one unidentified bureau official said they had been offered a “quid pro quo” to not classify the email, Obama dismissed the concern as pure speculation.

ADVERTISEMENT “I think you’ve heard directly from both the FBI and the State Department that the notion or the accounts that have been put out there are just not true,” Obama said at a press conference in the White House Rose Garden.

“Based on what we have seen, heard, learned, some of the more sensational implications or appearances ... aren’t based on actual events, and based on what actually happened, and I think derive from overly broad characterizations from interactions between the State Department and the FBI that happen a lot and happen between agencies.”

How many times in the last 8 years has dear leader told us anything close to the truth?

[VitacoreVision]

Translation: It’s true.

Obama is a liar.

“We’ll make coal too expensive to use for power plants” turned out to be true.

[madprof98]

That is so reassuring. But it would have been still more so if he had brought out the charming Michelle to reinforce his point. (Isn’t she already running as Hillary’s successor?)

Someone is lying. Whoever is lying is guilty of a crime. No one really cares about crime in the lawless class.

A tale of two FBIs....

Comey FBI, effectively pardons Hillary, Obama says justice is done.

An FBI source releases quid pro quo Hillary evidence, Obama says....NOT TRUE

[virgil]

If he denies it,then it must be true.

This turkey only says what he is told to say... when left to his own devises he NEVER speaks the common English language... Joe the Plumber speak is Obama left to his own devises... I long for the day when this stranger finds new digs.

The interview notes aren't "speculation". Someone stated what they believed to be a fact.

Congress should immediately subpoena the FBI official. Let's hear it from his own mouth.

And then, Patrick Kennedy can explain his side of it.

Someone is lying. And, my bet is on Obama.
