Cole Responds to FBI's Second Investigation on Secretary Clinton

Norman, OK – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after the FBI announced that it will reopen its investigation into Secretary Hilary Clinton's use of an email server. Previously, the FBI had stated that it would not take any action against Secretary Clinton after its first investigation.

"Secretary Clinton is not above the law, and this should have been the case months ago after the FBI's initial investigation," said Cole. "I'm glad that the FBI has realized that their work is not done, and that Secretary Clinton's use of her email server was irresponsible, untrustworthy and quite possibly illegal. FBI Director James Comey described her actions as ‘careless' at the end of the initial investigation – but that sort of carelessness puts our nation at risk. I hope that the FBI conducts a thorough investigation, and that Secretary Clinton will be held to the same standard as anyone else who engage in these activities."
