W.H.’s Earnest Refers to ‘Criminal’ FBI Investigation into Hillary Clinton

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
ROSEN: "So when a career prosecutor or a FBI agent when's working on the Clinton investigation hears this president speak openly of how he wants Hillary Clinton to succeed him, you don't think that that career prosecutor or that FBI agent takes that as some indication of how the president wants to see this case resolved?"
EARNEST: "No. I think that those career prosecutors understand that they have an I don't know to do and that job that they're supposed to do which is to follow the facts, to pursue the evidence, to a logical conclusion, that that is a I don't know that they are responsible for doing without any sort of political interference and the president expects them to do this job. This is the reason we ask career federal prosecutors to take the lead on those kinds of matters. They're the ones that conduct the investigations. They don't have career jobs. That's their responsibility and that's why the president discussing this issue at each stage has reiterated his commitment to this principle. That any criminal investigation should be conducted in an independent of any political interference and that people should be treated the same way before the law, regardless of their political influence and political party. Regardless of the political stature and regardless of what political figure endorsed them."
