FBI Grills Hillary Clinton About Emails
The FBI interviewed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for three-and-a-half hours on Saturday morning as part of its investigation into whether her use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State broke the law. The interview was conducted at FBI Headquarters in Washington D.C.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Friday that she would determine whether to bring charges against Clinton or her aides based in part on the recommendation of the FBI.
People on Twitter were quick to point out that a sit-down with the FBI isn’t casual just because you do it on a long weekend:
As one twitter pal just pointed out, the B in FBI doesn't stand for "brunch"

The Clinton camp described the interview as more of a friendly visit and insisted it’s the beginning of the end of Clinton’s email troubles. Nick Merrill, a Clinton campaign spokesperson, said in a statement:
Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her email arrangements while she was secretary. She is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion.
Nice of her to help out.
