→Ohama's intervention
The DOJ's decision to share blame with the FBI for bad decisions in the Hillary Clinton "matter" appears to have been pushed by Axelrod and a few others.<ref>Horowitz Report, pp. 64, 169-170, 176-177, 184-185, 215-217.</ref> Comey's self-righteous ego lent him to manipulation.

===Ohama's intervention===
===Obama's intervention===
In early April 2016 President Obama intervened in an ongoing FBI criminal investigation when he publicly stated on national television that Hillary Clinton has shown “carelessness” in using a private e-mail server to handle classified information. Obama insisted that Clinton had not intended to endanger [[national security]]. Intent is not an element of the criminal statutes relevant to the handling of classified information. Obama acknowledged that classified information had been transmitted via Sec. Clinton’s server, but he suggested its importance was overstated.
