Clinton email probe enters new phase as FBI interviews loom
Read the full story here:
Federal prosecutors investigating the possible mishandling of classified materials on Hillary Clinton’s private email server have begun the process of setting up formal interviews with some of her longtime and closest aides, according to two people familiar with the probe, an indication that the inquiry is moving into its final phases.
Those interviews and the final review of the case, however, could still take many weeks, all but guaranteeing that the investigation will continue to dog Clinton’s presidential campaign through most, if not all, of the remaining presidential primaries.No dates have been set for questioning the advisors, but a federal prosecutor in recent weeks has called their lawyers to alert them that he would soon be doing so, the sources said. Prosecutors also are expected to seek an interview with Clinton herself, though the timing remains unclear.
The interviews by FBI agents and prosecutors will play a significant role in helping them better understand whether Clinton or her aides knowingly or negligently discussed classified government secrets over a non-secure email system when she served as secretary of State.The meetings also are an indication that much of the investigators' background work – recovering deleted emails, understanding how the server operated and determining whether it was breached – is nearing completion.“The interviews are critical to understand the volume of information they have accumulated,” said James McJunkin, former head of the FBI's Washington field office.
“They are likely nearing the end of the investigation and the agents need to interview these people to put the information in context. They will then spend time aligning these statements with other information, emails, classified documents, etc., to determine whether there is a prosecutable case."

The R-tribe is not !
Unless something new surfaces, the FBI investigation was always scheduled to be completed by May. This whole issue and its related investigations have been going on since 2014. Nothing really new has come out of it.

The investigation is coming to an end, but if charges are filed against her, this will only be the beginning.

Of course.
In all the reading I have come in contact with this so far it is rather far fetched to see her being charged (again from what I have read to this point).

Who said it was going to be completed by May? And how would they know that? How would we know that nothing new has come out of the current investigation? Right now the only people who know that are the 147 FBI agents who are investigating and the DOJ. A criminal investigation is done in a confidential manner. If there are targets they could be notified or just be indicted. I am not saying anyone is going to be charged but we ( the public) won't know the details until charges are files or the investigation is finished.

Clinton better hope those longtime and closest aides are still friendly towards her. If not, what destruction to her presidential campaign someone could reap.

I am only going on what has been reported thus far.
I AM SURE, however, that the R-tribe would like to drag it out FOREVER !
