W.H. Dodges on Appointing Special Prosecutor to Investigate Clinton Foundation

‘President Obama and the administration have complete confidence in the independent career prosecutors at the Department of Justice and the FBI’

[excerpt]
EARNEST: "Kevin, I can tell you that President Obama and administration have complete confidence in the independent career prosecutors at the DOJ and FBI who devoted significant time and attention to investigating Secretary Clinton's email practices. That was work they did without any sort of political interference. These are dedicated professionals. I don;t think anyone would call into question the political Independence of someone like FBI Director Comey ... He is somebody who gave an extraordinary public statement when announcing the findings of their investigation. He is somebody who went to Congress and testified under oath for 4 or 5 hours explaining conclusions that were reached by his investigation ... It's clear that the investigation has been thorough, professional, unfettered by politics even in highly charged political atmosphere ... I just think it's hard for anyone to make a persuasive case that somehow there hasn't been enough investigating."
