Dear Mr. Wahlert:
Thank you for contacting me with your views regarding the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of her private email server for official government correspondence . I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns.
As you may know, Hillary Clinton was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for her alleged mishandling of classified information by the use of her private email servers for official State Department communications. In the course of the investigation, the FBI discovered that 113 emails contained classified information at the time they were sent, including 65 emails deemed “Secret” and 22 deemed “Top Secret.”
As the investigatory arm of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the FBI handles cases that involve any alleged crime that falls under federal jurisdiction. Upon conclusion of those investigations, it offers a recommendation to the DOJ on the ca se. After consideration of the evidence presented by the FBI, the Attorn ey General of the United States makes a final determination as to whether charges will be filed against an individual for the purported crime.
At the conclusion of this investigation, FBI Director James B. Comey delivered a statement to the press and the American people indicating that while Mrs. Clinton and others at the Department of State were “extremely careless ” in their handling of classified material, based on the evidence, the FBI would not recommend criminal charges be filed against her. He stated there was no previous precedent that would support bringing criminal charges based on the facts of the case , and that no criminal intent was uncovered during the investigation . He did, however, indicate that while under these circumstances a person may be subject to administrative sanctions by the agency at which they are employed, that question is not answered by the FBI . Following the statement by Director Comey, Attorney General Loretta Lynch accepted the FBI’s recommendation, and thus Mrs. Clinton will not be prosecuted by DOJ for those actions.
While I remain skeptical of the FBI’s recommendation and DOJ’s decision to not indict Mrs. Clinton, I do not have the authority as a Member of Congress to reverse the decision.
Again, thank you for giving me the benefit of your views. Please continue to keep me informed on any federal issue of importance to you.
Sincerely,
Dana Rohrabacher
Member of Congress
