Ex-DOJ official: Hillary emails need special prosecutor

'There should be such an outcry that she has no choice'

While the nation focuses on the 2016 elections, the frustration over FBI Director Jim Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton server investigation still rages, now with calls for a different person to spearhead the probe.

“Do you know what it’s time for? A special counsel,” said former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Victoria Toensing, who is also a former federal prosecutor.

Toensing notes that such a move must come from the U.S. attorney general. And while Loretta Lynch has reportedly hindered the FBI’s investigation into Clinton, Toensing says public pressure can accomplish big things.

“There should be such an outcry that she has no choice,” said Toensing, who believes the push for a special prosecutor could be bipartisan.

“Republicans and Democrats alike should welcome a special counsel,” she said.

Just so her conviction comes AFTER January 21, 2017! Then, BO can't pardon her.

That administration is so corrupt and has been ignoring the will of the people for so long that it will not happen until after Jan 20, 2017!

Nothing should be said until after Trump is sworn in and the dust settles.

I honestly dont think Trump will do anything to her. If you watched his composure during the 60 minutes interview and his meeting with BO, the man looked unsure of himself.
