Clinton Email Probe – Special Prosecutor Needed Now!

<p class&equals;"MsoNormal" style&equals;"text-align&colon; left&semi;" align&equals;"center">Like we said earlier this month&comma; the Hillary Clinton email scandal is far from over&period; &nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">A few weeks ago&comma; a former FBI agent who now acts as a law enforcement analyst for <em style&equals;"mso-bidi-font-style&colon; normal&semi;">CNN<&sol;em> wrote an article titled &&num;8220&semi;It&&num;8217&semi;s time to appoint a special prosecutor in Clinton email investigation&period;&&num;8221&semi;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<blockquote>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">&ldquo&semi;But with all due haste&comma; a special prosecutor needs to be appointed to the &ldquo&semi;closed&rdquo&semi;&nbsp&semi;Hillary Rodham email investigation&period; I can hear the cacophony of howling now &mdash&semi; Here we go again&comma; yet another undeserved attack on the Clintons&period; Or&comma; maybe this &mdash&semi; Republicans just can&rsquo&semi;t leave it alone&period; She was exonerated by no less an authority than the former FBI Director&excl;&rdquo&semi; writes James Gagliano for <em style&equals;"mso-bidi-font-style&colon; normal&semi;">The Hill&period;<&sol;em> &ldquo&semi;But in recent days&comma; following the revelation that then FBI Director James B&period; Comey had already drafted an &ldquo&semi;exoneration speech&rdquo&semi; some two months before his infamous July 5 public statement&comma; there has been a steadily building hue and cry from many corners that a special prosecutor needs to look into the case&period;&rdquo&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<&sol;blockquote>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">Recently the bombshell was dropped that FBI Director James Comey had already drafted his &ldquo&semi;exoneration speech&rdquo&semi; for the Clinton investigation about two months prior to making his official public statement on July 5th&period; The fact that this is rather suspicious isn&rsquo&semi;t going unnoticed&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"MsoNormal">&ldquo&semi;Wow&comma;
