Andrea Mitchell: FBI Investigation ‘the Worst Possible Situation’ for Clinton

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” while discussing the FBI reopening the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private unsecured email server during her tenure as secretary of state, MSNBC anchor and commentator Andrea Mitchell said, “This is the just worst possible situation for the FBI for the country, for Hillary Clinton certainly.”

Mitchell said, “This is the just worst possible situation for the FBI for the country, for Hillary Clinton certainly. For Hillary Clinton to go nuclear on Comey yesterday was a deliberate decision. They’re trying to rally the base. And she did this in Daytona. She did this going then to an historically African-American college and had a huge rally there on the football field.”

“She’s really now taking this to Comey,” she continued. “And they made a deliberate decision to do this. If she’s elected, she has to live with James Comey who has a ten-year term. That is a very hostile situation and a dangerous situation. Let me point out, John Kerry in Ireland said he has not been notified. Comey did not know what these emails were and whether they were work-related.That is the question that is raising so many concerns.”
