WATCH: What Former Obama Intel Chief Just Called On Hillary To Do Is The LAST Thing She Wants To Hear
For the sake of the nation, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should “step down,” former Defense Intelligence Agency chief Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said Friday.
Flynn noted that if he had done what Clinton has done with classified emails, “I would have been out the door, and probably in jail.”
Flynn appeared on CNN’s The Lead Friday and said former Secretary of State Clinton should suspend her campaign until the FBI investigation of her use of a private email server has concluded. So far, the investigation, which has been ongoing for months, has found 22 emails so sensitive that even redacted versions will not be released, as well as dozens of other emails marked classified.
Flynn said Clinton was aware of what she was doing, and is being treated in a manner far different from anyone else.
“If it were me, I would have been out the door and probably in jail,” said Flynn, who cited a “lack of accountability, frankly, in a person who should have been much more responsible in her actions as the secretary of state of the United States of America.”
Flynn said the case is straining scarce resources.
“In all 50 states, we have Islamic State cases ongoing — and I know the FBI is just overwhelmed with white collar crime, child pornography cases, transnational organized criminal cases. And now we have to put another 100 agents on this case of Hillary Clinton,” he said.
“If she were to step down and the nation would allow itself to back down a little bit, and let this investigation run its course with her not in the limelight and making this such a big, big deal, I really do believe that the severity and the number of resources that are applied — despite what the outcome is,” he said.
“This over-classification excuse is not an excuse,” Flynn said. “If it’s classified, it’s classified.”
