Department of Justice Backtracks, Clinton Email Inquiry Was Not ‘Criminal’
Mediaite ^ | 7/24/15 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 07/24/2015 1:02:18 PM PDT by markomalley

The Department of Justice has apparently backtracked from an earlier statement saying that they had received a criminal referral into Hillary Clinton‘s email account from inspector generals in the State Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The New York Times reported that, “Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state…”

“A Justice Department official confirmed the department received a criminal referral but gave no other details,” Reuter’s Jonathan Allen reported. But the DoJ walked back that statement later in the afternoon, clarifying that the referral was not criminal in nature.

The confirmation-turned-contradiction of the Times is sure to inflame the heated debate surrounding the allegations contained in the piece. The article had already been edited under pressure from the Clinton campaign, infuriating liberal and conservative journalists alike.

Does Congress agree?

BTW, does the Constitution prevent someone serving time in federal prison from running for the presidency? Hillary wants to know.

Hillary reminded barky of what kind of shiite she has on him, so the NDOJ is covering for her now.

Whatever happened just now to get them to backtrack was criminal, guaranteed.

There should be a criminal inquiry into many of the activities of the DOJ.

Right. Since when was giving Secret if not Top Secret documents to your uncleared lawyer for safekeeping a crime?

I’m guessing but I would bet that the answer is in the timeframe of WW1.

Maybe this is why 0 is trying to limit the IG’s powers.

It would be the IG’s, not the DOI”j”, that determines whether the inquiry they initated is criminal or not.

The 0 DOI”j” is a criminal enterprise.

Criminal is the Justice Department saying it is not criminal.
