Cheryl Mills was hired as Hillary's Chief of Staff at the state department, but when it comes time to talk to the FBI, Mills becomes Hillary's attorney, and therefor has attorney-client privilege. This takes any questions about any conversations between Hillary, and Mills during the entire time at state off the table. The DOJ agrees to this, and handcuffs the FBI in its investigation.
Report: Longtime Hillary Clinton Aide Walked Out on FBI Interview | Fox News Insider
There's a new development this morning in the Hillary Clinton email scandal.
The Washington Post reported that a longtime top aide to Mrs. Clinton, Cheryl Mills, walked out on her interview with the FBI, which is investigating the private server used by Clinton while she was secretary of state.
An investigator had apparently broached a topic that Mills and her attorney thought was going to be off-limits.
Mills then reportedly returned, but left repeatedly to confer with her lawyer.
Napolitano said that usually before these interviews, attorneys can negotiate on what topics will be discussed.
He said it appears that the FBI agreed not to ask about emails, since Clinton's legal team argued that Mills was Clinton's attorney at the time so their communications were protected by attorney-client privilege.
Lets look at what has happened so far.
Hillary hides her secret private server from the public, and government officials for years.
Hillary refuses to turn over emails, even when subpoenaed.
A hacker discovers Hillary's secret private server.
Congress, and the FBI wants the server handed over, Clinton refuses to turn it over.
Hillary reluctantly turns over the server, but not before deleting the emails, and wiping the server clean.
Hillary tells the public that there are no classified emails on the server.
Classified emails are found on the server, Hillary changes her story to the emails were not classified at the time.
Thousands of classified emails are found on Hillary's server.
Hillary changes her story, saying there were no emails "marked Classified".
Emails are found on the server where Hillary directs her staff to remove classified marks.
22 top secret emails are found on Hillary's server.
Hillary's IT worker that installed the secret private server Bryan Pagliano receives immunity.
A FBI criminal investigation lasting over a year, Hillary calls it a security enquiry.
The director of the FBI personally states, we don't do security enquiries, we do investigations.
Hillary's top aides all use the same lawyer for their interviews with the FBI, insuring they all tell the same story.
Hillary, and Mills claim that Mills was Hillary's lawyer at state, and cannot answer any questions about conversations between her, and Hillary.
Hillary herself will be interviewed by the FBI.
Now, none of this makes Hillary Clinton guilty, but this sure isn't the actions of someone that is innocent.
