Grassley says new documents show FBI cut corners in investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails

(Radio Iowa) – Senator Chuck Grassley says the F-B-I cut corners in its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information when she was Secretary of State. The Trump Administration recently fulfilled Grassley’s long-standing request and declassified more documents related to the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.
“You could say after 10 years, ‘What’s the use?'” Grassley said. “The use is to let people know what the government has done through political weaponization of various branches of government, in this case DOJ and FBI, and make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Grassley says the newly-released material shows the F-B-I under James Comey’s leadership failed to fully and completely investigate the Clinton matter.
Two weeks ago, Fox News Digital reported Comey is under F-B-I investigation for allegedly mishandling claims of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Grassley says these newly-released documents about the 2016 investigation of Clinton’s emails may lead to an expansion of the F-B-I’s probe. “If there’s going to be prosecution, that’s going to be up to the executive branch,” Grassley said. “All I can do is make the information public and, by inference, expect them to do something about it and if inference isn’t enough, I’ll make it very clear to them.”
Democrats like Senator Cory Booker say Republicans had dozens of congressional hearings about Clinton’s emails years ago, while Republicans haven’t held any public hearings about the country’s top defense official using a group chat with other Trump officials to talk about military strikes in Yemen while a journalist was accidentally included in the text chain.
