Lisa Page: Obama DOJ Ordered FBI
Not to Prosecute Hillary Clinton
Former FBI legal counsel Lisa Page
testified to Congress that the Justice Department ordered the FBI not to charge
former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with “gross negligence” by
mishandling classified information.
Transcripts of
Page’s closed-door testimony in July 2018 were released Tuesday
by Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) on Tuesday, which included the following exchange
with Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX):
RATCLIFFE: So let me if
I can, I know I’m testing your memory. But when you say advice you got from the
Department, you’re making it sound like it was the Department that told you:
You’re not going to charge gross negligence because we’re the prosecutors and
we’re telling you we’re not going to …
PAGE: That is correct.
RATFLIFFE: …bring a case
based on that.
Page confirmed that the Department of Justice led
by Attorney General Loretta Lynch had “multiple conversations” about charging
Clinton with gross negligence but noted that it would be a rare decision.
“They did not feel they
could sustain a charge,” she said, referring to the Department of Justice.
Lisa Page confirmed to me under oath that the
FBI was ordered by the Obama DOJ not to consider charging Hillary Clinton for
gross negligence in the handling of classified information.
