The 7 Key Findings In The FBI's Clinton Email Probe

(Politico) -- Along with FBI Director James Comey’s announcement Tuesday that the bureau would not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton came fresh details about the former secretary of state’s use of a personal email server and the investigation into it.

In an unusually specific press briefing, Comey detailed the bureau’s probe into the homebrew email server Clinton used during her four-year tenure at State, as well as the FBI's findings and ultimate recommendation to the Justice Department. The former secretary of state and her allies have long downplayed the investigation as a “security inquiry,” but Comey revealed Tuesday that the FBI’s probe was thorough, expansive and focused on Clinton and those with whom she interacted via the personal server.

Trump: FBI Decision Proves 'Our System Is Totally Rigged'

(CNN) -- Donald Trump on Tuesday night repeatedly hammered his message that there is a "rigged system" at work, pointing specifically to the FBI decision to not recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of email while serving as secretary of state.

Trump seized on the FBI's decision as he addressed the crowd of fervent supporters in this potential battleground state, calling it the "best evidence ever that we've seen that our system is totally rigged." He accused Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, of bribing the U.S. attorney general -- offering little to back up the dramatic accusation. And he called the FBI's decision, announced earlier Tuesday by the agency's director James Comey, a "tragedy."

Sanders Refuses To Concede, Plans Rally Night Before DNC

(Heavy) -- Bernie Sanders’ campaign is in the process of planning a rally in Philadelphia for the night before the Democratic National Convention on July 24. They are waiting to make an official announcement until after the permits are in place. His supporters are excited about the announcement and waiting to find out exactly what it means for Bernie’s campaign.

 Despite news that the FBI won’t seek charges against Hillary Clinton, Sanders said the decision won’t affect his campaign and he’s still taking the campaign all the way to the Convention. This news about the rally seems to cement that announcement.

Trump Praises Saddam Hussein's Efficient Killing Of 'Terrorists'

(CNN) -- Donald Trump on Tuesday once again expressed his preference for keeping dictators in power in the Middle East. While acknowledging that Saddam Hussein "was a bad guy," Trump praised the former Iraqi dictator's efficient killing of "terrorists" -- despite the fact that Iraq was listed as a state sponsor of terrorism during Hussein's time in power.

Trump, who supported the Iraq War before the invasion and in the early months of the war, said the U.S. "shouldn't have destabilized" Iraq before pivoting to praising Hussein. "He was a bad guy -- really bad guy. But you know what? He did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk. They were terrorists. Over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism," Trump said.
