FBI Director James Comey: Hillary Clinton's emails show no evidence of criminality

FBI Director James Comey said in his letter to the House and Senate on Sunday that the agency has finished and reviewed Hillary Clinton's emails but found no criminality on them.

"Since my letter, the FBI investigative team has been working around the clock to process and review a large volume of emails from a device obtained in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation. During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State. Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton." Comey wrote.

Director of The Daily Beast, Colin Jones, posted a copy of the letter on his Twitter account.

Comey said in July that during the time Clinton was secretary of state, she handled the sensitive materials carelessly but not criminally.

On Oct. 28, Comey sent the letter to the House and Senate, informing them that the emails were pertinent to the investigation.

“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.”

The emails were found during the investigation of the bureau to the former New York congressman Anthony Weiner being accused of a sexting relationship with a 15-year-old woman from the Midwest. Weiner's laptop also contains emails of Clinton to and from her former deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin while Clinton was the secretary of state. Abedin was the estranged wife of Weiners.

Clinton's spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said that Clinton was glad to see that the matters was resolved as Comey affirmed the bureau's position in July.

“We are glad to see that [Comey] has found, as we were confident he would, that he has confirmed the conclusions that he reached in July and we are glad that this matter is resolved,” Palmieri said in a statement.
