White House: Clinton email probe is 'shielded' from political interference

The Hill reports:

The White House on Friday insisted the administration is keeping its distance from the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

“This is an independent investigation that is intentionally being shielded from any sort of political interference,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.


Lynch announced Friday that she will defer to the FBI and career prosecutors on whether to press charges against Clinton after the investigation is concluded.

Earnest said President Obama did not have a hand in that decision and insisted that the president is steering clear of the investigation, saying it should be “handled completely independent of the White House.”

The great moments of the Obama regime.
