SCDP STATEMENT ON FBI INVESTIGATION OF SECRETARY CLINTON’S EMAIL
Columbia, SC – South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Jaime Harrison released the following statement today on the statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email system:
“Since this campaign began, Secretary Clinton has consistently said that she made a mistake in handling her email during her tenure as Secretary of State. She has also consistently said that her mistake was not criminal misconduct that would warrant prosecution, and that it was in line with the email practices of previous Republican secretaries of State. Today, after an exhaustive FBI investigation, it is clear that the Secretary was right on all these counts. And with the hate propagated by the Republican nominee over the weekend, we are more certain than ever that our country would be far better off with Hillary Clinton as our president than with Donald Trump.”
