The FBI have announced they’re not indicting Hillary Clinton

In a press conference at FBI headquarters, Director James Comey has announced that the FBI is recommending that the Justice department not indict Hillary Clinton.

He called Clinton “extremely careless” when discussing classified subjects on an insecure private email server.

The announcement comes just three days after Hillary Clinton met with FBI officials to discuss the use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.

Loretta Lynch has promised to respect the recommendations of the FBI, after her much criticized meeting with Bill Clinton last week.

The FBI investigation into the emails scandal has lasted for over a year after a referral by a government body. Comey described the process of piecing together the various servers and devices used as “painstaking”, taking “thousands of hours” of work. Clinton provided over 30,000 emails and “millions of email fragments” to investigating officials in 2014.

2100 emails were retroactively deemed classified by the FBI after Clinton turned over her server. Of these, 22 were categorized as ‘top secret’.
