Clinton Gets Off Scot Free On Email Scandal

FEATURING MARCY WHEELER – FBI Director James Comey announced this week that his agency would not be bringing charges against presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State. Republicans had been leading the push to charge Clinton, who their abhor, and responded to Comey’s announcement with predictable outrage.
