Donald Trump slammed the FBI on Tuesday immediately after the agency announced it will not recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, despite her mishandling of classified information on a private email server as secretary of state.
“FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee tweeted within minutes of the FBI press conference.
“No charges. Wow! #RiggedSystem,” he added.

Trump noted that former CIA director Gen. David Petraeus was prosecuted found guilty of mishandling classified information, and said he did “far less” than Clinton.
The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment.
