Exclusive: Obama Chastises
FBI Over Hillary
President Obama has remained silent on the FBI’s recent surprise Hillary Clinton email investigation — until now!

In an exclusive interview with NOW THIS, Mr. Obama adopted the same tone as most of the country in wondering “Why?”
During the exclusive interview filmed on Tuesday, the president said he didn’t want to meddle in the process but thought it was important to follow a practice of not allowing intimations or suggestions to pervade the public’s view of the case.
“I do think that there is a norm that when there are investigations we don’t operate on innuendo and we don’t operate on incomplete information and we don’t operate on leaks,” the president said. “We operate based on concrete decisions that are made. When this was investigated thoroughly last time the conclusion of the FBI, the conclusion of the Justice Department, the conclusion of repeated congressional investigations was she had made some mistakes but that there wasn’t anything there that was prosecutable.”
Mr. Obama’s 11th hour decision to essentially throw the FBI director under the bus comes amid widespread public concern that James Comey may have been playing politics, in an effort to sway the election. The president seems to have also taken into account a new set of polls which show the presidential race tightening following the FBI director’s actions.
Last week, the State of Nevada was leaning toward Mrs. Clinton, while traditionally red states such as Arizona and Utah were considered in play for her. Now, both Arizona and Nevada are leaning toward Donald Trump, albeit slightly.
The favorable news for Mrs. Clinton is that the critical states of Florida and Pennsylvania are still in her column, although her lead is between 2 to 4 percentage points.
For the remaining days of the election season, President Obama is pulling out all stops to assure that Hillary Clinton is elected the 45th and first female President of the United States. His exclusive interview with NOW THIS launches a week of pro-Clinton rallies in critical states across the U.S., including areas meant to invigorate African-American enthusiasm, which is down slightly since Mr. Obama’s last campaign.

I'm glad Obama did chastise him. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Attorney General Lynch didn't tell Comey to shut his mouth and is the reason he's being quiet all of a sudden. I am fully behind this move.
