According to the Washington Post, Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff – Cheryl Mills – abruptly walked out of a recent FBI interview after investigators broached a subject Mills considered “off-limits.” Mills and her lawyer ultimately returned to the interview, but the incident highlights how close the FBI may be getting to a case they can take to the Justice Department.
Mills was reportedly unwilling to answer questions regarding the process through which Clinton provided her emails to the State Department. Mills, who is an attorney, claims that she would be violating attorney-client privilege by disclosing that information to the FBI.
Hmm. But hasn’t Clinton publicly encouraged all of her aides to cooperate fully with the investigation? Or is there a caveat to that directive that didn’t make the papers? Something along the lines of: Cooperate with them, of course, but don’t tell them the truth about what we really did.
