AP: Obama trying to manipulate FBI to protect political ally

"The White House routinely dodges questions about ongoing Justice Department investigations, saying it does not want to appear to be trying to influence the outcome. Obama's decision to twice express his thoughts seems to cast aside some of that caution in favor of defending a political ally and former administration official."

A reminder of what's at stake:

"There are also at least 38 civil lawsuits, including one filed by The Associated Press, seeking records related to Clinton's time as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013."

Shame that Obama is being so disingenuous about his pledge to stay out of the 2016 election.
