Trump Reacts to FBI Decision on Clinton Emails

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who on Saturday had tweeted that the system was “rigged” and that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would not face charges for using a private email server to send and receive classified data, continued that theme Tuesday after the FBI announced its recommendation that Clinton would not face charges.

“FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow! ‪#RiggedSystem,” Trump tweeted, moments after firing off an initial reaction.

“The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment,” he tweeted. David Petraeus, a former general and director of the CIA, last year was found guilty of mishandling classified materials after he admitted giving information to his biographer and girlfriend, Paula Broadwell.

Trump had mentioned the email scandal in a Fourth of July tweet.

“Crooked Hillary Clinton is ‘guilty as hell’ but the system is totally rigged and corrupt! Where are the 33,000 missing e-mails?” he tweeted.

Trump was not the only high-profile Republican who took to Twitter Tuesday.

“Hillary may not be POTUS, but she’ll be on the Winter Olympic team for ice skating, no one has successfully skated on more thin ice than her,” tweeted former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

The FBI slammed Clinton for being “careless” with classified information, but recommended that no charges be filed against her. FBI Director James Comey said that investigators found no intent to mishandle classified material.

“To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions,” he added. (For more from “Trump Reacts to FBI Decision on Clinton Emails” please click HERE)
