(CNN)Some of Hillary Clinton's closest aides, including her longtime adviser Huma Abedin, have provided interviews to federal investigators, as the FBI probe into the security of her private email server nears completion, U.S. officials briefed on the investigation tell CNN. The investigation is still ongoing, but so far investigators haven't found evidence to prove that Clinton willfully violated the law the U.S. officials say.

In recent weeks, multiple aides have been interviewed -- some more than once, the officials said. A date for an FBI interview of Clinton has not been set, these officials said, but is expected in the coming weeks. Abedin has cooperated with the probe, the officials said. Lawyers for Abedin declined to comment.

Read the CNN article, it is an exercise in excuses.

60 Minutes. This case has had more interviews than the entire run of Time to quit interviewing and actually do something.

“Did not willfully violate” has no meaning under the law. A violation can be either willful or not. It’s still a violation. Someone’s in the tank for Hillary. Spin!

Arrest and convict every damn one of them,

"Theyve had months to coordinate their stories. Months." But if those stories conflict with forensic evidence that was recovered from the server...Whoops!



To: simpson96

That won’t happen. The Clinton crime family has people on the inside of the investigation. Count on it. Hillary and her myrmidons have already been tipped off to anything which could incriminate.

Yep, and it would add fuel to a charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice.



To: heights

Yeah, “willfully violated”? Really? Since when does it have to be willful? How about RECKLESS or, at the very least, negligent and careless. SHE decided to have her own server, that is a very deliberate decision. SHE mixed secure/non-secure data. SHE didn’t secure the server. SHE put people’s lives at risk. GO......TO........JAIL.

Two things are required to convict someone for a crime: actus reus", which you've covered; and mens rea, which addresses the "willfully" part.



To: simpson96

This is coming from “U.S. officials” who were briefed on it. That means Democrats are acknowledging that Huma has been questioned. Everything else is conjecture and second-hand. This isn’t from the FBI or the Justice Department. This is an attempt to soften the blow for the Democrat voters.

The law in question has a clause for “gross negligence”. And, there are emails in which Hillary explicitly instructed an aide to move a message from a secure system and remove the markings



To: simpson96

The DOJ does not have the integrity to indict Hillary. But maybe some of her aides will go down, and that could be bad for Hillary’s campaign as well, assuming it happens before the election.

“FBI probe into the security of her private email” Spellcheck is so weird, it changed “criminal investigation” into “probe into the security”.

This is an attempt to soften the blow for the Democrat voters. At this point it's just another way for the media to sell copy. These stories sell... even though everyone knows nothing will ever come of it.
