Mark Halperin: Obama Comments Sunday About Clinton Email Investigation "Seemed Ill-Advised"

The "Morning Joe" panel reacts to President Obama's interview Sunday with Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace.





JOE: Wait! Can you guys believe what you just heard?



MIKA: He said 'believe me.'



JOE: He said he wasn't going to talk to the Attorney General about the pending investigation, but he just did.



As he did back in October when he said, 'no national security issues here - nothing to see move along.'



The FBI complained, there was a NYT article back in October saying the president should really let us finish our investigation before he starts drawing conclusions -- that we have score of agents studying. And he just did it again.



And then, in the same interview said, 'but I'm not talking to my Attorney General about it.' Talk about a rigged process.



MARK HALPERIN: It seemed ill-advised to say I've got no connection to this, but here's what I know about it and he's my conclusion. It seems ill-advised, there's a pending investigation about it, just stay away from this in every way and leave it to the Justice Department.
