Justice Dept responds: Justice Department says it is moving quickly in the renewed investigation
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/justice-department-says-it-is-moving-quickly-in-the-renewed-investigation-into-clinton-email-server/2016/10/31/2be25796-9f86-11e6-8d63-3e0a660f1f04_story.html?pushid=breaking-news_1477955755&tid=notifi_push_breaking-newsThe Justice Department sent a brief letter to six lawmakers Monday, saying that the department will work closely with the FBI to take “appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible” in the renewed investigation into emails potentially tied to Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
The three-paragraph letter written by Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Peter J. Kadzik, said that the department and FBI will “dedicate all necessary resources”to the investigation, but it provided no further details about the contents of the emails or whether they are significant.
The short statement on behalf of Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch and FBI Director James B. Comey represents an effort by the Justice Department to stabilize and assert control over a politically explosive situation set in motion Friday when Comey notified congressional leaders about the FBI’s renewed probe.
