Obama's Administration has three sets of rules, one based on insider democrats, one for gems-race based and one for everyone else. The race based ones are untouchable. Nothing is straight, but there is one constant, race is primary. m/r
Why did the DOJ coddle a witness in the Clinton email investigation?
The FBI's Labor Day weekend document dump regarding its investigation of
Hillary Clinton gives those who thought the result was predetermined
much to complain about. The FBI's notes confirm that her former chief of
staff, Cheryl Mills, was among the several lawyers representing Clinton
in her FBI interview. Mills was hip-deep in the events at the heart of
the FBI's criminal investigation and was herself a material witness who
had previously sat for her own interview. Yet not only was she allowed
by the Department of Justice to participate as counsel in Clinton's
interview, her communications with Clinton and other material witnesses
also were actively protected by the Department of Justice throughout the
criminal and civil investigations.
Typically, the DOJ would look askance where a material witness
sought to act as a lawyer for the subject of a federal criminal
investigation. In Mills's case, Justice lawyers went out of their way to
accommodate this highly unusual dual-hat role. For those who wonder
whether Clinton's FBI interview was all for show, Mills's participation
as a lawyer should be Exhibit A.
Mills, who was a regular correspondent with Clinton on Clinton's
home-brewed email, testified as a fact witness about her personal
knowledge of Clinton's email setup in both the FBI investigation and
related civil depositions. At the same time, Mills purported to
represent Clinton as her lawyer. Mills was not, however, a lawyer for
Clinton during her tenure at the State Department. Her title was "Chief
of Staff and Counselor." But the "counselor" position was, according to
Mills's testimony in one of the many Clinton email FOIA cases, "not a
lawyer role"; it was a "policy role." Mills contends that, after leaving
the State Department in 2013, she was hired by Clinton as her personal
lawyer to coordinate the response to State's demand for return of her
emails.
