The claims against Hillary Clinton and her time as Secretary of State had been the focus of the FBI for some time, and started to mount as the 2016 Presidential Election came about. The Clinton campaign stands by the fact that the announcement of the investigation cost her the election (in reality they have blamed everything but her poorly run campaign as the reason why she lost the election).
Former Director of the FBI James Comey initially released a memo on the situation, stating Mrs. Clinton’s actions were “grossly negligent.” For the average American citizen, if they were ever found to be grossly negligent on the job, they would be fired instantly. If it had anything to do with a legal matter, they would be found guilty and likely fined or thrown into jail. As for Hillary Clinton? Nothing, at least as of yet, has happened to her.
Generally, a memo is released once and sent to the necessary recipients. However, James Comey has gone in and altered the original text of this memo. The corrections to the memo downplay the situation and soften the language used to describe Hillary Clinton’s potential crimes.
It would be similar to a police officer going back and altering the language of a filed police report. Just how did Comey change the language and what does this prove about Comey’s handling of the investigation? Watch the video to find out.
