Congress could get record of FBI's Clinton interview over emails by this week

Some of the FBI files on the agency’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server exclusively for government business while serving as secretary of state could be given to a House oversight committee as early as this week, a congressional source confirmed with Fox News on Sunday.

The matter has been progressing since early July, when a formal request was made by Congress for the file, the remaining block appears to rest within the Justice Department. 

The FBI, after interviewing Clinton last month, concluded its investigation of Clinton's use of a private server, confirming publicly that 113 classified emails were sent and received by Clinton, as well as 2,000 that were classified after the fact.

FBI Director James Comey said investigators found at least three emails that contained classified markings, adding that the Democratic presidential nominee was "extremely careless." However, he did not recommend criminal charges, and the Justice Department closed the case.

Rand Paul: CIA Annex In Benghazi Shipped Arms From Libya To Syria; Clinton Lied About It

Sen. Rand Paul says that Hillary Clinton deserves five years in prison for lying to Congress about the true nature of the CIA operation in Benghazi that was attacked by terrorists in 2012.

Under oath before Congress in 2013, Hillary Clinton answered a question from Sen. Paul, saying she knew nothing about the weapons shipments from Libya to Syria.

However, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said last months that his next release of Clinton emails may prove that this is not true.

ERIC BOLLING, FOX NEWS: Julian Assange, who has Wikileaks, says there are some emails that pretty much tie Hillary Clinton to knowing about some weapons that may have been going through Libya to some of the ISIS fighters… Now if Wikileaks in fact does have emails proving that she did know what does that mean to you?

SEN. RAND PAUL (R-KY): It’s a felony to lie to Congress. You can get five years in prison. And we can’t continue to say the Clintons are above the law...

Top Dem: CIA officials thought spying on Senate ‘was flat out wrong’

A key Senate Democrat believes that officials within the CIA disagreed with Director John Brennan’s approach during a heated battle between the spy agency and the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said in an interview for a new episode of HBO’s “Vice” that he believed lower-level staffers within the CIA disagreed with Brennan’s decision to search the Senate’s side of a walled-off computer network for classified documents.

“This will be the first time I’ve ever said this publicly: My sense is there were clearly people at the CIA who understood that what Mr. Brennan had done was flat out wrong,” said Wyden, a member of the Intelligence Committee and consistent critic of government spying efforts. “And they drafted anapology letter.

“And yet Mr. Brennan was just unwilling to publicly acknowledge wrongdoing.”

“We are the agency that is required by law to conduct vigorous oversight over the CIA,” Wyden claimed. “We can’t do vigorous oversight over the agency if the agency we're supposed to be overseeing is in fact secretly searching our files.”
