What do you think? UCI?
In an interview with "60 Minutes" last Sunday, President Barack Obama said that though it was probably a "mistake" for Hillary Clinton to use a private email server during her time as secretary of state, it “is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”.....
“Injecting politics into what is supposed to be a fact-finding inquiry leaves a foul taste in the F.B.I.’s mouth and makes them fear that no matter what they find, the Justice Department will take the president’s signal and not bring a case,”
Is this her big break?

CSM Michael J. Uhlig I don't think it is necessarily undue command Influence. I think he is trying to shape the "battlefield."
However, I suspect the President is trying to influence the course of the investigation for two reasons (1) it happened on his watch and (2) Hillary is running for his office.

LTC Stephen F. A great answer. I do believe that Obama spoke out of turn, but that has been known to happen with Presidents winding down their final term. I do believe that the FBI was totally IN-line to let the POTUS know that they didn't appreciate his comments though.

MAJ Carl Ballinger - You make a good point.
I think since he is the sitting President, even as a lame duck, it is his administration's procedures he is discussing so it is his own battlefield. I think he is focusing on shaping his legacy by the remark. The irony will be when some national security issues are compromised by what is revealed in Hillary Rodham Clinton's emails - not revealed to the public but made know to Congressional investigations which have been known to leak information if not details :-)

Hopefully the FBI will step this investigation up and scrutinize Hillaries actions even more now.
If it is un lawful to have classified documents on any server other than the Governments server....they why isn't Hillary in jail already. THIS BULLCRAP about "oh, gee whiz, golly gee I had no idea I was forwarding classified emails because it wasn't marked property....IS POPPY COCK! ..THE BOTTOM LINE IS Classified emails or rather GOVERNMENT emails are suppose to remain on government servers....it clearly state NO PRIVATE servers....so I don't see how hillary is innocent in the least.
Why bring up all of this other non sense. She got her own personal server, put it in her house and used it for her state department work. SERIOUSLY AND TOTALLY ILLEGAL! !!!

No matter what he says or doesn't say, it's going to be the wrong answer. He cannot win, and had he gave the typical Washington two step answer, he'd have no backbone to some. Whatever the outcome is, lets get it over with and move on. So many more pressing items facing this nation than this.
It's also been mentioned before that this FBI director doesn't play the political games, so why worry over spilled milk?

You are right, any answer was the wrong answer in an on going investigation. He is a lawyer and knows this.
He is the top law enforcement officer in the nation, the DOJ looks to him as well as the Attorney General. While the DOJ should not be political, it is. Even if the FBI is not political, they have to provide their information to the DOJ. Sadly, most American no longer understand the legal system, or why what the President did, and has done, is so very wrong.

SMSgt Minister Gerald A. Thomas - Senior I wasn't meaning winning in the common sense of the word, but winning as his words would be correct to all. In that sense he cannot "win".
