Senate GOP leader: Release Clinton’s FBI interview
Source: The Hill
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wants Hillary Clinton's interview with the FBI made public as GOP lawmakers demand more information on the investigation into her private email server.
"It's pretty clear ... that the American people would like to see what Hillary Clinton said to the FBI," McConnell told reporters during his weekly press conference. McConnell and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) noted that lying to the agency was a punishable offense.
Republicans have demanded access to any information tied to the agency's probe after FBI Director James Comey announced Tuesday he would recommend no charges against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee for her use of a private server while secretary of State.
McConnell sidestepped a question Wednesday about whether presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump should get classified intelligence briefings, saying the focus is on Clinton.

and be cynical, disapproving, sadistic
This really is about credibility, and trying to keep the focus off Trump's ineptitude
and stupidity
Subterfuge in other words.

(1,351 posts)Outside of a select few pieces of crap legislation (that only helps the wealthy &/or awful companies), this is all they do. They don't govern. They don't make anybodies lives better. They create bullshit scandals that only exist in the RW echo chamber (the bubble), and spend all their time talking about them and investigating them. They waste countless amounts of time & $$ on fake shit that doesn't matter to regular people.

(22,048 posts)Senator McConnell knows that the FBI isn't going to release a transcript of their interview with Secretary Clinton.
He did get his name in the news again, though.
Mitch McConnell is a jackass.

(5,275 posts)Dubya and Darth Cheney say they somehow "accidentally" erased tons of correspondence - where was the outcry from the right then? That was the equivalent of the dog ate my homework and I an 100% sure there was stuff in there they didn't want anyone to see.....they who started a bone headed first strike war that is costing us trillions, killed or maimed countless humans, and among other things given us ISIS.
I have avoided the TV talking heads lately since MSNBC veered back right but I doubt that anything like this has been brought up.

(23,155 posts)Until the day when you make pResident Bush and Cheney testify under oath about 9/11, your so-called caring and concern about our country's safety is just fake outrage for political purposes. The biggest loss of life in this country and you didn't give one fuck other than to start a war. Investigation - no way, you stonewalled that every step of the way. You don't give a shit about security, you just want to get Hillary. She's burned you so often, you'd think you'd know better, but obviously your are severely truth challenged.

(3,040 posts)If Hillary doesn't have anything to hide, she should release them. Otherwise, it just makes her look guilty and will be ammunition for the GOP.
Hillary needs to realize that this election is important, and if she wants to be president, she needs to suck it up and release such to show the GOP that they are wrong. Otherwise, it seems like she is hiding something.

(3,040 posts)That Hillary needs to win, and she needs to get out in front of the GOP attacks. The GE isn't a primary and she needs to win over non-democrats that may or may not trust or like her to win. She needs to show she isn't 'crooked hillary' and if she hides things and disregards such, she will not win over enough undecided voters.
She isn't just running to get the votes of those predetermined to vote for her.
Those of us (myself included) here at DU don't believe she is untrustworthy, but the majority of America does. She needs to combat that, and if she doesn't she will lose.
