The FBI, not Bernie Sanders, has the last word on Hillary’s emails
Hillary Clinton was surely ecstatic when President Obama told a national TV audience that her private e-mail server was “not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”
Oops: The flip side of Clinton’s glee is the anger reportedly felt inside the FBI — where agents fear the president was trying to compromise their ongoing investigation.
Yes, Bernie Sanders won whoops and hollers at Tuesday’s debate by painting the scandal as a GOP smear, but the feds have been hard at work on it for over three months now.
They’re trying to answer the very question Obama so blithely dismissed: Did her use of a private, unsecured server — target of multiple foreign hack attempts — endanger national security?

‘Enough of the Emails!’ Will Help Bernie Sanders Surpass Hillary Clinton in National Polls
Simply answering questions without being able to dodge contentious issues doesn’t account for a win, nor does it make a candidate “presidential,” “polished” or poised. The standard in American politics has been set lower than ever before, especially when a candidate’s correspondents are being investigated by the FBI and other intelligence agencies, yet some observers declare this person a winner. Hillary Clinton did a good job of remaining confident during heated exchanges, however the questions themselves were indicative of why Bernie Sanders was the clear victor.
Fortunately for Clinton, Bernie Sanders refused to address the FBI’s investigation of her emails. This allowed the former Secretary of State to miraculously circumvent relevant questions about Russia-linked hackers who tried to access Clinton’s private server.
There used to be a time when Russia-linked hackers were bad for a presidential campaign, but alas, this is 2015 and everything is relative. To some voters, the Pentagon gets hacked, so who cares if Clinton used a private server?
