FBI Applies Double Standards to Clinton, DNC Email Probes

The US government and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are practicing double standards in trying to blame the Democratic National Committee (DNC) email hack on Russia when they failed to thoroughly pursue Hillary Clinton’s email breaches, analysts told Sputnik.

"It seems strange to me that when it came to Clinton’s illegal server, FBI Director James Comey said there was no way to tell if the Russians or Chinese had hacked it," University of Northern Ohio Assistant History Professor Robert Waters told Sputnik on Thursday.

Yet when it came to the hacked DNC server, officials within the Obama administration seemed to suggest in minutes that two separate Russian teams were responsible, Waters noted, referring to media reports.
