What do you think? UCI?
In an interview with "60 Minutes" last Sunday, President Barack Obama said that though it was probably a "mistake" for Hillary Clinton to use a private email server during her time as secretary of state, it “is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”.....
“Injecting politics into what is supposed to be a fact-finding inquiry leaves a foul taste in the F.B.I.’s mouth and makes them fear that no matter what they find, the Justice Department will take the president’s signal and not bring a case,”
Is this her big break?

An option is for the FBI to arrest and perp-walk Hillery to the nearest jail and formally charge her with whatever crimes the evidence substantiates. At that point the case enters the public domain and available for scrutiny. Until then there's nothing to examine.

Of course he is and then when people question the politics then he is out of line. In fact, I am so sick of this pandering that America is getting ready to explode. More angry riots and we all need to work together and this president needs to know that is NOT above the laws.

I think he may be guilty obstruction of a federal criminal investigation. He has as much as said to the agents investigating this case, "You will find nothing, you will drop this investigation because I have spoken." After all, they work in the executive branch of the government, and he is in charge of that branch. And since he also has the power to pardon, he has essentially told the agents that no matter what they find, he is going to "veto" their work. I have seen a lot of corruption over my years of service, but this guy, Obama, is the worst.

Didn't see the program. So I can't remark on it. I don't trust anything this man has to say no further then I can spit.

Allow me to illuminate and infuse some logic in the situation. Hilary erased all those emails which indicates she is hiding a wrong she committed. People like her know the protocol of not discussing secret subjects on non secure means. She used poor choice and attempted to covered it up.

CSM Michael J. Uhlig to me, it appears to be subtle attempt at UCI. I recall not too long ago that the Justice Department was told to not prosecute certain cases. The ends justify the means is the message I receive from POTUS's comments in this interview. And that's a shame since I know we in the military are held to a much higher standard. But as professionals, we will continue to choose the hard right over the easy wrong as we have for generations.

CSM Michael J. Uhlig We all know this fellow skews everything he gets a chance to. He is w/o shame or actually accepting responsibility for causing disasterous results!

No one should interfere with the FBI's investigation nor prevent them from bringing charges if there has been a crime committed.

MAJ Hugh Blanchard - I agree. Please advise, attorney, professor, scholar POTUS, he might be having difficulty understanding the concept!

Many have faced consequences for the mishandling of secret intel or confidential information. And she needs to be held accountable if she is proven to have violated security measures of information. Transmission security, and physical security must be maintained in order to not allow unauthorized interceptors from accessing any of the confidential information. If having email servers maintained by a mom-and-pop outfit — run out of an old bathroom closet in a downtown Denver loft isn't a problem, then I don't know what is. A Secretary of State should know what is confidential or secret even if it is not classified not the time. For the POTUS to comment “is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.” Maybe is a little premature. You really would have to be asinine to think this could not potentially be a national security problem and/or practice.
