oops from today's White House Press Secretary

Josh Earnest told reporters during a White House press briefing that Obama was committed to keeping his hands off the investigation, trusting career investigators and prosecutors to follow evidence wherever it leads.

'That's what their responsibility is,' Earnest said. 'And that's why the president, when discussing this issue in each stage, has reiterated his commitment to this principle that any criminal investigation should be conducted independent of any sort of political interference.'

____

Yes, he noted it was a criminal investigation

ignored by the Rich and Powerful's media. Only in America can someone under criminal investigation run for president.

For legally allowing us the option of someone who's currently under criminal investigation.

I've said it from the start, it should be illegal for someone who's currently under investigation to run for president. If she's indicted, it literally ROBS all of those who voted for her and it's very unfair to them.
