Although we did not find evidence that secretary clinton and her colleagues willfully none of these emails should be on any kind of class unclassified system. Did they feel any pressure to clear clinton of wrongdoing . Come dy says no. I can assure the American People this investigation was done honest ly, competently and independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear. Owe the fbi essentially determining clinton broke the law but she didnt mean to. Now you can imagine the clinton camp is over the moon.
