Hillary is her own worse enemy when it comes to demonstrating her unworthiness and reinforces the reasons some say she is not qualified to be POTUS.
The State Department's inspector general report finding fault with Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, and her reaction to it, were "devastating," Sen. Jeff Sessions said Saturday morning."I think it is serious," the Alabama Republican and close adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign told conservative talk show host Larry Kudlow on his radio program Saturday, especially when combined with the ongoing FBI investigation into the matter.
"I was a federal prosecutor for 15 years," Sessions told Kudlow. "You heard [FBI Director James] Comey say some time ago that 'we don't do security reviews.' That was a serious statement."
In effect, Sessions said, Comey was saying, without saying the actual words, that the FBI does criminal investigations.
Also, Clinton's denials of wrongdoing in connection with the report were "very devastating to me and it should be to most Americans," Sessions said. "It reflects very badly on her any way you look at it."
The private server was set up to "get around" privacy rules, he continued. He admitted that there were some communications that were personal, and an official could get in trouble using the government's servers for personal communications, but "the way this was done, it was designed to provide protection and avoid disclosure laws."
Near the beginning of a recent interview, an FBI investigator broached a topic with longtime Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills that her lawyer and the Justice Department had agreed would be off-limits, according to several people familiar with the matter.
Mills and her lawyer left the room — though both returned a short time later — and prosecutors were somewhat taken aback that their FBI colleague had ventured beyond what was anticipated, the people said.
Investigators consider Mills — who served as chief of staff while Clinton was secretary of state — to be a cooperative witness. But the episode demonstrates some of the tension surrounding the criminal probe into possible mishandling of classified information involving the leading Democratic presidential candidate. In the coming weeks, prosecutors and FBI agents hope to be able to interview Clinton herself as they work to bring the case to a close.
