Sources familiar with the investigation told CNN that within the
next two weeks or so, there will likely be an announcement that
no charges will be brought against Clinton, as long as there is
no evidence coming from her interview on Saturday with the FBI.
CNN reported previously that there would likely be no charges as
investigators had not found enough evidence to warrant charges,
according to law enforcement officials.
On Saturday, a Democrat close to Clinton said the FBI will
likely announce its decision before the Democratic National
Convention later this month.
NBC's Chuck Todd also asked Clinton, in an interview Sunday
night, about the reports she wouldn't face charges, and she
refused comment on the investigation's process,
reports Mediaite.
"I have no knowledge of any timeline," she told Todd. "This is
entirely up to the Department."
Miller on Monday noted that the FBI likely won't release
transcripts from its interview with Clinton, even if she's not
charged, and it's not likely the agency's questions were much
different than the ones already heard.
He also does not think the Clinton campaign will move in a
different direction should charges be filed against her.
"Look, we haven't seen a grand jury empanelled here, and before
you could bring any charges, there would have to be a grand
jury," Miller said. "You're talking about something so outside
the realm of possibility, I doubt there is a campaign decision,
because it's simply not going to happen."
Meanwhile, former Gov. Mike Huckabee, who endorsed Trump after
dropping his own bid for the 2016 GOP nomination, told Fox News'
"Fox and Friends" program that the reports remind him of a
"Monty Python skit."
"Move along, there's nothing to see," Huckabee said. "That's
their whole idea. There's nothing here. Let's just move on.
Let's remember where the whole 'move on' movement started. It
started back during the Bill Clinton scandal with Monica
Lewinsky ... we know Hillary signed an affidavit saying under
the penalty of perjury she turned over all of her emails and
then we know she most certainly did not. How come she's going to
get away with that. I guarantee you none of you guys would not
get away with it. I wouldn't."
Further, he said the news about the Lynch-Clinton meeting means
the investigation needs to drop Lynch "and bring in Loretta
Lynn, the 'Coal Miner's Daughter,' who has more common sense
than anybody in the Obama administration and I think she would
do a much better job than Loretta Lynch."
Huckabee also said that if Clinton becomes president and then
faces criminal charges, "it would be a disaster for the country.
So I hope if Democrats really feel that this is the best they've
got, they better buckle up their seat belts because it's going
to be a rough ride."
