Former AG Michael Mukasey: Damage from Clinton email scandal will last ‘for decades’

(CNSNews.com) – Former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey said that the nation will be dealing "for decades" with the fallout from FBI Director James Comey's decision in July that "no charges are appropriate" against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her "gross negligence" in keeping top-secret information on her private email server.

"I think the damage that was done to the concept of one aspect of the rule of law, i.e. that the same rules apply to everybody, the damage that was done is something we're going to be dealing with for decades," Mukasey, a former federal judge, said last week during a panel discussion in Washington, D.C. on "The State of Our Law After Comey's Decision" sponsored by the James Wilson Institute on Natural Rights and the American Founding.
