Experts: Audit justifies FBI’s push for Hillary Clinton indictment

The scathing audit of Hillary Clinton’s use of a basement email server while secretary of state gives cover to the FBI chief as he weighs whether to push for an indictment against the Democratic presidential front-runner.

The 82-page report leaked yesterday — which found Clinton’s hard drive at her New York home broke federal standards and left sensitive material vulnerable to hackers — makes FBI Director James Comey’s recommendation to Attorney 
General Loretta Lynch that much easier, said GOP consultant Brad Marston.

“It gives Comey additional cover,” Marston said, “and makes it easier for the FBI to recommend to the Justice 
Department to pursue an 
indictment.”
