Changes

*Hillary Clinton received preferential treatment through limited use of a [[grand jury]]. Prosecutors used a grand jury to obtain search warrants and subpeaonas, however no witnesses or targets were subpeaonaed or testified. Prosecutors claimed calling witnesses would require grand jurors learning classified information, and approval of the originating agency of the classified information would be too much of a time consuming process.

*The IG found that the presidential campaign was a consideration. Deputy Asst. Attorney General [[David Laufman]] worried a Clinton subpeaona might leak to the media and be used for political purposes. Instead, Clinton was allowed to make an appointment (possibly finalized at the Lynch tarmac meeting) for a voluntary interview, with ground rules. [[David Kendall]] negotiated the deal. It was not the typical interrogation that would occur in either a counterintelligence or criminal investigation.
