Trump rejects FBI's email conclusion
By Ben Schreckinger
Reacting to news that the FBI won't change its determination in the Hillary Clinton email probe, Republican nominee Donald Trump made it clear he still regards her as guilty and is convinced she will ultimately face justice.
“You can't review 650,000 emails in eight days," Trump said Sunday in an appearance at the Freedom Hill Amphitheater. "You can't do it folks. Hillary Clinton is guilty.”
Disregarding the announcement by FBI Director James Comey that the email case against Clinton would not be revived, Trump said he was sure the investigation would yield dividends at some point. Trump has long pushed the narrative that a fair investigation into the Democratic nominee's email use would surely produce evidence of criminal behavior.
“The investigations into her crimes will go on for a long, long time," Trump said.
"The rank-and-file special agents at the FBI won't let her get away with her terrible crimes, including the deletion of her 33,000 emails after receiving a congressional subpoena."
Comey noted investigators only reviewed "all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State" [in Huma Abedin's account] — not the full 650,000 that were reportedly found on Anthony Weiner's laptop.
