Congressman Duncan, SC-3, on FBI Decision

___Following the decision by the FBI not to recommend charges against former Secretary Clinton, I am very concerned with the political weight being applied to the scales of justice by the executive branch.

___The blindfold has been removed from the arbiter of the scales of justice, forever tilting the scales of justice in favor of the politically powerful. The blindfold reflected that it didn't matter your race, sex, social status or political affiliation as the facts were weighed in the American justice system. The blindfold kept the justice system from seeing those factors as the evidence and facts were weighed.

___From President Obama giving his opinions on an ongoing investigation, to the refusal to appoint an independent counsel to lead the inquiry, to delays in turning over evidence, to the Attorney General’s inappropriate secret meeting with former President Bill Clinton, this entire process has been tainted.

___The Obama Administration has already taken unprecedented steps to erode the public trust, and unfortunately I see this investigation as just another extension of that poor judgement and corruption.

___Not having access to all the facts, I have no way of knowing for certain whether Secretary Hillary Clinton violated the law. But based on how this Administration has handled this case, I have little faith that this decision was reached completely free of undue political influence.

___Therefore, I reiterate my call for a special prosecutor to be appointed to oversee this investigation. Without taking that extra step to ensure impartiality, the American people’s faith in our system of government will only further erode and Secretary Clinton’s legitimacy as a candidate will forever be in question.

Jeff is a solid Constitutional conservative and patriot.
