The FBI does not call it a criminal investigation, Peach, and it is certainly not asking your permission do so.
Of course they won't, not till the investigation is over.
You actually think that the left who controls the FBI would put a label on that? It's political Jake.
Why don't we wait and see what their investigation says at the end of it.
When FBI looks into something it is a criminal probe. No getting around that Jake.
Guy Benson - FBI: Yes, Our Probe Into Hillary's Email Scheme is a Criminal Investigation
The FBI investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s unsecured email account is not just a fact-finding venture — it’s a criminal probe, sources told The Post on Wednesday. The feds are investigating to what extent Clinton relied on her home server and other private devices to send and store classified documents, according to a federal source with knowledge of the inquiry. “It’s definitely a criminal probe,” said the source. “I’m not sure why they’re not calling it a criminal probe. “The DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI can conduct civil investigations in very limited circumstances,” but that’s not what this is, the source stressed. “In this case, a security violation would lead to criminal charges. Maybe DOJ is trying to protect her campaign.”
You are mincing words with criminal investigation with criminal probe. It is the same thing.
A criminal investigation is an official effort to uncover information about a crime.
