got to love it. a long string of incriminating evidence but the fbi director says hillary clinton should not be charged. this is "special report." good evening. welcome to washington. i'm doug mckelway. thousands of other work-related e-mails never turned in by hillary clinton. and more e-mails never to be found. james comey methodically put forward the damning evidence today, saying private e-mail use was careless but not criminal. we have team coverage. jennifer griffin is on the trail

where she campaigned with president obama today. and we begin with katherine herridge, who has been following the investigation from the very beginning. katherine, good morning. >> comey uncharacteristically did not take questions. fbi's findings undercut clinton's statements about her use of a personal unsecured server. comey said there is evidence of wrongdoing but that's as far as it went. >> our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. >> reporter: the fbi director said the investigation found then secretary of state hillary clinton sent or received 110 classified e-mails, nearly half contained intelligence at the top secret and secret level. >> none of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system. their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers. >> reporter: comey said it

should have been clear to clinton and her team, many of who are lawyers, that classified information was outside secured government channels. >> any reasonable person in secretary clinton's position or the position with whom she was corresponding about those matters should have known an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. >> reporter: that finding conflicts with clinton's repeated public denials. >> i did not e-mail any classified materials to anyone on my e-mail. >> reporter: as fox news first reported, some e-mails were marked classified at the time. another finding confirmed today by the fbi director. >> only a very small number of the e-mails here bore markings that indicated the presence of classified information. >> reporter: clinton consistently told the public otherwise. >> nothing that i sent or received was marked classified and nothing has been demonstrated to contradict that. >> reporter: comey said clinton used multiple servers, less

secure than government and her private e-mail address was no secret. >> known by a large number of people and readily apparent. she also used her personal e-mail extensively while outside the united states, including sending and receiving work-related e-mails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. >> reporter: last month clinton insisted the system was not hacked. >> any indication that your private server was hacked by foreign hackers? >> not at all. >> reporter: he said they recovered most of the deleted e-mails but their job was made much harder because the clinton lawyers never fully read e-mails before deleting them. >> it has been sufficient to give us reasonable confidence there was no intentional miscondu misconducten's handling of classified information also reflected a casual attitude of the department she led, the fbi director said. >> although we did not find evidence that she or her

colleagues intend ed to but wer extremely careless in their handling of highly classified information. >> reporter: the state department rejected the bureau's findings. >> we don't share the broad assessment made of our institution, that there's a lax culture here when it comes to protecting classified information. we take it very, very seriously. >> reporter: the white house said comey can defend himself. the matter is technically with the justice department. after meeting with bill clinton, loretta lynch said she would accept the findings of career prosecutors and investigators. >> katherine, thank you. >> you're welcome. recommendation of the fbi saying no one should be above the law. quote, declining to prosecute secretary clinton for recklessly mishandling and transmitting national security information will set a terrible precedent.

the findings of this investigation also make clear that secretary clinton misled the american people when she was confronted with her criminal actions. president obama said he believes in hillary clinton, despite the fbi findings that she mishandled classified information. commander in chief joined clinton on the campaign trail for the first time today, a joint appearance that was planned in advance of comey's statement, but occurred just hours after it. while the two spent plenty of time talking, neither addressed the e-mail investigation directly. reporting tonight from north carolina. >> reporter: the announcement from the fbi could not have been timed better, allowing hillary clinton to campaign with president obama without the cloud of a possible indictment hanging over her. >> i've also known him friend that i was honored to stand with in the good times and the hard times. someone who has never forgotten where he came from and, donald, if you're out there tweeting,

it's hawaii. >> days after a controversial meeting between her husband and attorney general loretta lynch, secretary clint sben president obama held their first campaign event together. the stage had already been set. only hours after comey's announcement, the once adversaries, now allies, landed in the key battleground state of north carolina. >> i'm ready to pass the baton. and i know that hillary clinton is going to take it. and i know she can run that race, do a good job, better schools and save the streets and safer world. and that's why i'm fired up and that's why i'm ready to go! >> four years ago, three blocks from where they spoke today, president obama received his party's nomination, though he lost the tarheel state to mrm in 2012. four years earlier, he became the first democrat to win north carolina in 32 years. >> i had a chance to see upclose

just how smart she was and just how prepared she was. especially since i had to debate her a couple dozen times. let's be clear. she beat me in the first -- you don't have to rub it in. >> reporter: no mention today of the fbi decision. clinton's campaign spokesperson issued the statement after comey's announcement. quote, we are pleased the career officials handling this case have determined that no further action by the department is appropriate. as the secretary has long said it was a mistake to use her personal e-mail and she would not do it again. we are glad that this matter is now resolved. and we have just learned that hillary clinton will campaign during the republican national convention, addressing one of the largest trade unions. a break from past political

tradition. >> jennifer griffin live in north carolina tonight. thank you, jennifer. long history of public service at or near the pinnacle. james comey has served under both democrats and republicans but says politics did not play a role in today's recommendation to the justice department. >> i have not coordinated this statement or reviewed it in any way with the department of justice or any other part of the government. they do not know what i'm about to say. >> tonight chief washington correspondent james rosen examines comey's career in depth and finds a unique figure both seen as an incorruptible lawman and savviest of animals. >> indeed, from his service on the senate whitewater committee as a u.s. attorney in new york, a brief tenure as deputy attorney general. now as head of the fbi, james comey, all 6'8" of him has always enjoyed a reputation in lay terms as a boy scout.

>> and i think that that reputation will maintain itself afterwards. and i think it's really hard to judge, to second guess his judgment without being on the investigative team. but i don't have any doubt that he made the judgment that he thinks is appropriate in the case. >> disclosure that attorney general loretta lynch met privately with former president clinton last week and lynch's subsequent decision, short of a refusal to accept whatever recommendation the fbi and career prosecutors offered in the clinton case. many analysts saw comey's lengthy statement as an effort to preserve the bureau's reputation and his own. >> none of that mattered to us. only facts matter. the fbi found them here in an entirely apolitical and professional way. >> i have a lot of respect for jim. the fix was in on this from the beginning. >> reporter: after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, president bush and vice president cheney set up a terrorist surveillance program. attorney general john ashcroft

signed off on it many times but after he delegated his powers to his deputy, comey refused to reauthorize the program. comey told president bush he and other top officials would resign if the language wasn't amended. the president backed down. comey appointed the special prosecutor that won a conviction against mr. cheney's chief of staff, scooter libby. >> we have seen jim comey throughout his career demonstrate, i think, over and over again that he's a little bit of a rogue actor when it comes to politics. definitely not a loyal republican and definitely is willing to do what it takes to get the favor of the democrats and the liberal elite. i think he has done it again. >> as fbi director's go, he is fairly open with the press. indeed he has held more news conferences this year than hillary clinton has. today he took no questions. among those left unanswered tonight is when he will.

doug? >> thank you, james. chairman of the house oversight committee jason chaffitz has been asking clinton to come clean about her server but also recently that republican lawmakers would probably accept the fbi director's recommendation. where does he stand now? the congressman joins us here in studio. good to have you here. your reaction to jim comey's decision not to move forward with this? >> confused by it. if you look at the fact pattern, did she or did she not have classified information in a nonsecure format that went on for years? the answer is clearly yes. the statute says that's a violation of law. >> you spoke with him just in the past couple of hours. tell me about the nature of this conversation. what did you ask him specifically? >> i want to understand the bredth of the case. are others going to be charged? what about this i.t.t. person that they offered immunity to to

extract some information? what director comey said verbally and what the inspector general came out with a couple of weeks ago. remember, hillary clinton wasn't quite so open and transparent with the inspector general. she wouldn't even speak to that person. we have a lot of outstanding questions. no doubt i won't be able to change his mind. we, as the american people have, a right to know the truth. >> did he answer any of those outstanding questions you just posed to us? >> no. some of them he would not refer to. now that it's closed there's no excuse not to provide that information to congress. >> do you think like so many other people in this town he is above reproach? >> he has the greatest of reputations, a man of great integrity. but if you look at just the basic fact pattern why not hand that to the prosecutors and let them make the political decision? if you look back at director -- former cia director deutsche, this is a person who plugged their computer into the internet. the justice department was going to prosecute them.

president clinton offered that person a pardon. so, this has been prosecuted or at least attempted to be prosecuted in the past. why the difference now? >> he made some suggestions about intent and that they looked at case law or certainly previous examples and he did not see the intent in this particular case. >> that's why we have to question the fbi director. that's not the case. the first parallel we see, at first blush, is director doeutche. he did go through this, was going to be prosecuted. the job of the fbi is to provide the fact pattern to the justice department and not make the political calculation that this is what a reasonable prosecutor would do. that's not the job of the fbi. >> house oversight committee of which you are chairman has jurisdiction over government records. do you plan to call him? >> perhaps. i had a conversation with him today. we'll talk to a number of other members, speaker and others. >> i would like to read a

statement to you from senator grassley. quote, if it wants to avoid giving the impression that the fbi was pulling punches the agency must be more transparent than ever about information gathered during this investigation. there have been plenty of foia and congressional requests pending that have been on hold because of the ongoing nature of the investigation. >> he's absolutely right. foia requests, requests from congress. they have said this a closed case. provide all the information. >> a huge frustration for and you your committee in getting timely responses to foia requests. >> they even literally went to a judge and said it would take 27 months to provide information to judicial watch. we're getting the same type of treatment in congress. the american people are seeing how hillary is cooperating.

she isn't. >> unlawful presumption in favor of secrecy when responding to freedom of information act requests. the administration is unaware that foia is systematically broken. >> the benghazi select committee never did get all the documents even though they requested and subpoenaed them. oversight committee, same thing. we passed a bipartisan piece of legislation to redo foia. if you have an unwilling partner, someone playing hide the documents all the time -- which hillary clinton has done time and time again -- you don't have a fully functional government. i can issue a lot of subpoenas, a lot of requests. if they're unwilling to prosecute these, what are you telling the rest of the government? that's probably the biggest long-term consequence that i

fear. >> glenn reynolds is fond of saying and pulling out this quote whenever he sees a situation like this. quote, laws are for the little people. do you agree with that? >> i think the clintons somehow skate above t speaker ryan said nobody should be above the law. if you did this or i did this and you had classified information on a nonsecured format, you would be in jail and you probably should be. >> what if a republican had been subject to the same treatment here? >> i think the clintons think they get away with it. the american people should go into this eyes wide open and get to make the choice. they're the ultimate jury on this. this is how the clintons operate. >> is it possible that director comey came to the conclusion that the political realities in washington, a deeply divided city, could not be separated from the legal case, and that to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on an investigation and a trial, ended far after the campaign was over simply would

not beworthywhile? >> i think it was more of a political determination at the end. he should have laid out the facts, handed it over to the prosecutors to make the decision about whether or not to prosecute it. the fact pattern is clear. did she or did she not have classified information in a nonsecured format? yes. did they have hostile actors trying to penetrate and look at those e-mails? yes, they did. did that put people in harm's way? we don't know. purposely set up her own e-mail system with herself. i didn't create this. republicans didn't create this. she created this. >> i know you just got off a long plane ride. thank you so much. >> thank you. conclusion on clinton's e-mails. first, here is what fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight.

fox 42 in chicago, 62 people were wounded and four people were killed over the fourth of july weekend in shootings. it's actually fewer deaths offer the same weekend last year and follows a horrific month of june in which 15 people were shot on average every day. fourth officer to be charged in the death of a black man who died in police custody opted for a beverage trial. lieutenant brian rice was the ranking officer on the day freddie gray suffered a broken neck in that police van. his trial is set to start thursday. another officer was found not guilty and another officer's trial ended in mistrial. and in boston, an audit found broken locks, disabled security cameras kept together with duct

tape. the review recommended the removal of several top managers. that's tonight's live look outside the

donald trump has never been

one to shy away from talking about hillary clinton's e-mail investigation. it follows after today's recommendation by the fbi, trump had something to say, or tweet, about it. this, as his campaign is teasing voters with some potential running mates. chief political correspondent carl cameron reports from raleigh tonight. >> reporter: taking the stage with president obama on the 2016 campaign trail, donald trump issued a statement slamming her in the wake of the fbi's decision. quote, as fbi director james comey let clinton off the hook for her, quote, extremely careless actions, the fix was final. the obama administration's anointed successor has had an indictment removed from her path and will now be able to glide to the rigged democrat nomination. one of the critical battlegrounds nationwide, mitt romney beat the president here in 2012. think he can't win his red nationwide. >> even if he picked pennsylvania, ohio, wisconsin,

carried all those blue collar states he still wouldn't win. >> reporter: announcing his potential running mates on the trail and will be introduced tonight by one of them, senator bob corker. tomorrow for the first time in six weeks, trump will visit ohio, no republican has ever become president without winning first. he will be joined by newt gingrich. both he and new jersey governor chris christie have been asked to supply tax returns and other materials as part of the vetting process. he also met with joni ernst over the weekend. a graphic tweet labeling her most corrupt candidate ever over a six-sided star like the jewish star of david, on a message board known for hate speech. trump responded by tweeting dishonest media is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a twist as the star of david

rather than a sheriff's star or plain star. trump's use of blatantly anti-semitic image from a racist website to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough but the fact that it's a pattern should give voters major cause for concern. >> anti-semitic images have no place in a presidential campaign. candidates should know that. the tweet has been deleted. we've got to get back to the issues that matter. >> we're about 40 minutes from trump taking the stage here in raleigh. and 13 days from the national convention in cleveland. at this point, trump has been told today the wisconsin governor, scott walker will accept a speaking slot. but the presumptive republican nominee's hopes of having a big lineup of sports legends will not include the former coach for the chicago bears, mike ditka or new england superstar tom brady. they both said they will not show up. doug? a federal judge has struck

on capitol hill it's not just the summer heat. more destructions on the house floor in the fight over gun control as house leaders mull over punishment of the 25-hour

sit in that shut down the chamber last month. mike emmanuel reports on the partisan back and forth. >> house will be in order. >> reporter: house democrats intend to continue the gun protest they launched in late june. >> we demand a vote for the countless victims and families and ongoing tragedies. >> reporter: john lewis, organizers for the sit-in a month ago is expected to meet with speaker paul ryan tonight. the plan is to be as disruptive to speaker ryan as possible next week. the republicans dismissed their sit-in as a publicity stunt and blasted the democrats today for violating the house rules. >> abraham lincoln said it best, no grievance is a fit object of regress by mob law. what we saw was the mob law of

occupied wall street brought to the house floor. >> reporter: the gun control debate made it to the senate floor. texas republican senator john cornyn offered an amendment requiring a three-day waiting period by gun buyers, giving the justice department time to ask a judge to stop a sale. it failed to get 60 votes. now the house is planning to take it up. >> republican proposal is specifically designed to ensure that the justice department fails and the suspect is allowed to buy a gun. >> reporter: republicans have blasted the democrats for fund-raising over their sit-in, adding this is all about election year politics. the gun issue is a winner for them politically, they believe, leaving some gop leaders conclude that many democrats would rather have an issue than a bill. >> maybe they want a political ad or argue in the campaign. that doesn't enhance safety or improve our nation's security. and it's unfortunate that they stand in the way of progress.

>> speaker ryan and senate majority leader are expected to meet tomorrow to review the disturbance and make sure it does not happen again. >> mike emanuel, thank you. nasa's unmanned history has officially reached its long-awaited climax. juneau effectively reached its orbit. >> deep inside this body, secrets we're after. >> reporter: nasa scientists are excited as their hollywood style trailer makes clear. mission controllers have waited five years for the moment when juneau entered jupiter's orbit monday. >> first solar-powered mission to the outer planets. instead of nuclear power, we're using solar power, opening up a lot of opportunities. >> reporter: jupiter is believed

to be one of the first planets formed after the sun. if juneau can unlock its secrets, it may help us understand howarth and the rest of the solar system developed. that will begin in late august when juneau begins mapping the gravity and magnetic fields of

we did not find clear evidence that secretary clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws handling classified information, there is evidence they were extremely careless. for example, seven e-mail chains contained information top secret special access program at the time they were sent and received. there is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in secretary clinton's position or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about those matters should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation.

although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. >> no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. many people thought as director comey was speaking there that he was laying the groundwork for a criminal referral. ultimately, he did not. he did the opposite of that, cloeing with we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. paul ryan, speaker of the house, issued a statement in which he said something very different. quote, while i respect the law enforcement officials at fbi, this announcement defies explanation. no one should be above the law. but based upon the director's own statement, it appears damage is being done to the rule of law, declining to prosecute secretary clinton for recklessly mishandling and transmitting national security information will set a terrible precedent. the findings of this investigation also made clear

that secretary clinton misled the american people when she was confronted by her criminal actions. more information about how the bureau came to the recommendation the american people will reject this troubling pattern. >> charles, let's start with you. >> the conclusion of the day is a noncriminal liar. lying is obvious when i compare her statements with what comey said. puzzling conclusion. he laid the case for gross negligence. he accused her of extreme carelessness. then he laid out the fact that she should have known, she did know. then he created a relative new standard, malicious intent but negligence does not require intent. that's the whole point of having

it in the statute. there's intentional and the statute says or gross negligent. i logic is completely wrong. he spent 14 minutes laying out a case for negligence then said you can't prosecute. this is the end of this, i believe. as a plis political matter, what hangs over, there's no implosion of her candidacy. i can see all the ads cut between now and election day juxtaposing with what comey said today with what she has said in the past. >> malicious intent, here is what he specifically had to say about that. >> all the cases prosecuted involved some combination of clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information or vast quantities of information exposed in such a

way of intent of criminal misconduct or efforts to obstruct justice. we do not see those things here. >> well, i think that's the most important thing. intent, at least under this statute, seems to be what they look at. conservatives are focusing on gross negligence. i heard an interview earlier today with the u.s. prosecutor who prosecuted the petraeus case, as everyone is invoking as being similar to this case even though it's not. he can't think of a time when this statute has been used to prosecute gross negligence. they really do look at intent. what they seem to have come to the conclusion here is that she didn't do it intentionally. that being said, the problem with this is that they don't see this kind of leniency for other people who mishandle classified information. navy reservist who took classified information home and never intended to use it, but

was prosecuted. >> intent shouldn't matter. >> that's true. what aren't going to be the consequences, right? comey clearly makes a statement here whr it says people in similar cases will face administrative or security consequences but we're not going to address it right now. when will it be addressed? will hillary clinton be stripped of her security clearance? i don't think this is over. while the criminal charges might be not invalid -- we're not going that direction -- this is clearly an indictment of her careless character and it represents the fact that hillary clinton and her campaign have lied time and time again. i think that's what will be the major political fallout of this. >> one more point on intent. keirstin she didn't intend. what is it? she intended to set up a private server. she intended to send all the classified e-mails which she

sent, marked as classified at the time. it appears that comey's standard is did she intend to harm the united states? if she didn't, she gets acquitted. that's not the standard. is the intent of handling, mishandling this information. that's what the statute requires. she met t he declined to prosecute. >> he also said no reasonable prosecutor would press charges here. what's the definition of reasonable in this case? anyone want to take a shot at that? >> the prosecutor who prosecuted petraeus said he doesn't think this is how the statute is applied. i think it means that this is how it's typically applied and anyone looking at the statute in case law should not think that she should be prosecuted. she behaved badly. no question about that. we could talk about the political ramifications of this. >> is comey the one one to make

that decision? would that be the career prosecutors as to whether they should move forward or not? closing in on decision time, who will the candidates choose as running mates? we're rea [plumber] i need to be where the pipes are. so i use quickbooks and run my entire business from the cloud. i keep an eye on sales and expenses from anywhere. even down here in the dark i can still see we're having a great month. and celebrate accordingly. i run on quickbooks.that's how i own it.

...

as the president has reminded us, the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice. >> hillary clinton campaigning in charlotte, north carolina, just this afternoon. and that phrase that the president has used so often certainly has a special meaning for her in light of james today. donald trump campaigning just a little bit north of that tobacco road. he had an entirely different take as you can imagine. sending out this adversaries certainly have plaque mail file on hillary clinton. this alone disqualifies her from service. it's also been revealed when hillary clinton lied when she said she did not send classified information. the fbi director confirmed 100 emails were sent at the time were identified as top secret. we're pack with the panel. mercedes? >> that's going to be trump's new campaign slogan. do you want to trust someone that the fbi director calls

extremely careless. that's where is he going to go. keep pushing not only crooked hillary and lying hillary. that's going to be effective. this is going to be a rallying cry. fbi director comey's position is a ralliying cry for republicans who are feeling the fact that the clintons once again are following a different set of standards and the mere fact that you -- literally comey's comments today were prosecuting hillary clinton by basically calling her like a pathological liar. >> will comby's action today, kirsten, change any voters' minds. >> i don't know that there is that many persuadable voters at this point. you have people in the middle i don't know this is what they are going to be voting on persuadable issues. the issue of the rigged system resonated on the right and the left which is trump's strong suit i think applies here. if you look like i said before, type of people who get prosecuted for doing far less. hillary clinton, in fact, has spoken out about

prosecuting chelsea manning and so if these standards apply to regular people but not to hillary clinton, then i think that it -- there is this idea that there is a system for the powerful and a system for the not powerful. and that definitely feeds into donald trump's narrative. >> charles? >> the sense i have is that if she weren't running for president, she had simply left office and were a private citizen now, she might have been indicted. i think it's not so much the fear of the clintons or sort of respect for obama, cow towing. i have a sense that the chief justice refused to overturn obamacare. you don't want to be the follow crumb in history. he knows indicted her. end of her campaign. that will be the event of the 2016 campaign history. he will be the -- it will be the decision that sways everything, the most. i think he didn't want to be that. and i think it's because she is running. not so much she is a clinton.

not so much because of her reputation and all that and her power, but i think comey did not want to be the person that history remembers as changing the course of this presidential election. that's giving him the benefit of the doubt. but i think it's a very plausible explanation. >> another thing that people are watching very closely in both campaigns is the winnowing down of potential vp picks. let's start off with donald trump's picks. looks like tom cotton, indiana governor mike pence, iowa senator joni ernst and newt gingrich former speaker of the house and chris christie. it seems to me that trump, more than anything, values loyalty. we saw this with him standing by corey lewandowski. we see testimony that of his closest advisors are within his own family. how does he go about cultivating loyalty without knowing these people all that well mercedes? >> this is definitely about chemistry for a vp pick. especially for donald trump. i think -- there are many

republicans who are waiting. they are in the maybe trump category. they are waiting to see who his have. p pick. joni ernst would be a fabulous pick for donald trump. woman, veteran, steady hand. one of the favorite junior republican senators. i think if he is politically strategic, joni ernst would make perfect sense to him especially when he is lagging behind with him. he might want to go with a newt gingrich who has been his sort of spokesperson on the campaign throughout these past couple months. it's going to be interesting to see at the end who he ends up picking. many republicans are hoping he pushes forward and pick as woman like joni ernst. >> kirsten. >> the only thing we can know for sure about trump is he wants somebody who has political experience. he recognizes that he needs to have somebody to balance out the fact that he is a businessman and not someone with political experience. >> double down on rovish, charismatic wild hair and not without a lot to do boris johnston, born in new york city. birth right citizenship

right there. >> a bit of a mini me as well. >> he is available. he doesn't have anything to do right now. >> that's it for the panel. stay tuned for a presidential handshake that gets a little too handsy.

finally tonight, pa that painfully awkward handshake president obama president the mexico and president of canada gets more awkward thanks to one late night talk show host. >> there you see him right in the middle, prime minister justin trudeau kind of linked hands and crossover. what was that about, mark get? and were people buzzing about that awkward moment? >> actually, there was much more to that handshake, we tracked down the raw footage before it was edited. >> three amigo summit. three big neighbors here and

justin trudeau putting himself in the middle of that photograph as host. couldn't figure out which direction to go in first. whose hand to let go of because he was trying to embrace everyone all at once. >> once it looked like president obama -- >> thanks for joining us tonight. that's it for "special report." good night from washington. kimberly guilfoyle is in for greta. that starts right about now. ♪ ♪ >> it is wednesday, july 6th. careless, but not criminal. hillary clinton jeopardized national security. she won't face any charges. the bombshell decision from the fbi sparking no shortage of
