Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., criticized the FBI and Justice Department on Thursday for not calling in a grand jury to try Hillary Clinton, much less taking up the case against the former secretary of state for her use of private email servers.
The former U.S. attorney cited his 12 years as a prosecutor as validation that a grand jury could have make it easier for Clinton to be found guilty on both the felony and misdemeanor counts.
“Going to a grand jury often is a very good thing because it clears the air. It puts people under oath before the grand jury and often you get better testimony, more accurate and more truthful testimony than simply an FBI interview,” Sessions told “Fox News” host Greta Van Susteren late Thursday.
The chairman of Donald Trump’s national security advisory committee added if he was prosecuting the case against Clinton, he would pursue how and why her lawyers wiped her servers clean.
“I would pursue that intensely to see what kind of justification they had for that,” Sessions finished.
