When you've been somebody's top aide for over two decades and they start calling you "one of my staffers," something's going on: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton blasted the FBI again Monday - and this time brought up the bureau's probe into emails maintained by longtime aide Huma Abedin - dismissing the idea she did anything wrong while minimizing the role of her close staffer. 'Now they apparently want to look at emails of one of my staffers - and by all means they should look at them,' Clinton said, bringing up the FBI attack at the start of a rally before a room packed with students at Kent State University.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder is criticizing FBI Director James Comey's decision to reveal the recent discovery of emails potentially related to the bureau's earlier investigation of Hillary Clinton's private server. He said Comey's letter to Congress announcing a review of the new emails was "a stunning breach" of law enforcement protocol and one that carried "potentially severe implications" during a presidential campaign.
"In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity," Reid wrote to Comey this weekend. The Senate Democratic leader declined to offer additional details about the information or clarify how federal officials had discovered it.

WASHINGTON >> The relationship between James Comey and Hillary Clinton was never going to be tension-free, not when Comey's FBI had conducted an election-year criminal investigation into the Democratic presidential candidate's email practices.

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said on Sunday that FBI Director James Comey may have violated the Hatch Act, barring political activity by federal employees, through a late election season letter to Congress about the scope of the bureau's probe of Hillary Clinton's private email service as secretary of state.
