Clinton email scandal: System is rigged, says Trump on FBI’s decision

TIL Desk/World/Washington-Reacting strongly to the FBI’s decision not to charge Hillary Clinton in the email gate scandal, Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has alleged “the system is rigged” even as he exuded confidence that the American people would be the “final jury” in the November 8 general elections. “Folks – the system is rigged. The normal punishment, in this case, would include losing authority to handle classified information, and that too disqualifies Hillary Clinton from being President,” Trump said. “The final jury will be the American people, and they will issue the verdict on her corruption, incompetence, and bad judgment on November 8th,” he said.

Clinton is the Democratic presidential candidate and will face Trump in the November polls. Trump said the FBI Director James Comey laid out a detailed case of how Clinton compromised the safety of the American people by storing highly classified information on a private email server with no security. He confirmed that her email could easily have been hacked by hostile actors, and confirmed that those she emailed with were hacked, the GOP presidential candidate said.

“Our adversaries almost certainly have a blackmail file on Hillary Clinton, and this fact alone disqualifies her from service,” Trump said. “It has also been revealed that Hillary Clinton lied when she said that she did not send classified information,” he said, adding that the FBI Director confirmed that over 100 emails were deemed classified at the time they were sent, including emails classified as top secret. On top of it all, Clinton’s lawyers wiped the servers clean to delete another 30,000 emails – hiding her corrupt dealings from investigators, he alleged citing FBI statement.
