The FBI on Friday released a detailed report on its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, including the summary of its three-hour interview with the former secretary of State.

The report totals 58 pages, although large sections have been redacted.

In July, FBI Director James Comey announced that he did not recommend charging Clinton with willfully mishandling classified information.

While Comey called the former secretary of State “extremely careless” for using the server, he repeatedly said that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”

The documents have been a hot commodity on Capitol Hill, where GOP lawmakers have pushed Comey for more information about the classified messages that passed through the controversial email system Clinton used when she was secretary of State.

The agency sent lawmakers documents relating to the investigation earlier this month, including summaries of the agency’s interviews with Clinton and her senior aides.

But the pages released Friday appear to only be a portion of the materials sent to Congress.

Clinton’s presidential campaign had suggested that the entire trove of material the FBI sent to Congress be made public. Otherwise, the campaign and its allies feared, GOP lawmakers would selectively leak embarrassing excerpts to the press.

The 11-page summary of the FBI’s interview with Clinton is likely the most complete record of the conversation, which was neither on the record nor recorded, in accordance with FBI policy.

According to the document, Clinton did not recall her specific conversations regarding the creation of the clintonemail.com domain.

“It was a matter of convenience to move onto a system maintained by her husband’s staff,” according to the investigator’s notes.

She did not recall receiving any emails she thought should not have been on an unclassified system, according to the interview notes. 

The decision not to recommend an indictment was “unanimous” within the FBI, according to Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Despite an Egyptian government ban on protests, Christians living in the country have grown tired of being treated as though they are ‘second-class citizens’, many have taken to the streets in the Muslim-majority African country to demand the Egyptian government give them equal rights.

Nearly three-dozen Egyptian Christians took to the streets of Cairo to demand legislative reforms, despite the country’s protest bans, the Christian demonstrators staged a demonstration on the steps of a courthouse in Cairo.

The Christian protesters are demanding that the Egyptian government upholds their legal rights when settling disputes between Muslims and Christians, according to reports from the Associated Press.

Around three-dozen Egyptian Christians went against the country’s protest ban and staged a demonstration on the steps of a courthouse in Cairo. The believers demand that the government uphold their legal rights when settling disputes between Muslims and Christians, The Associated Press reports.

“I am an Egyptian citizen above all,” said Michael Armanious, a Christian demonstrator. “We pay taxes, we serve in the army, we are dealing with all the same economic problems in Egypt with the rest of our countrymen, why should we have fewer rights?

College bulletin board denounces white, male, Christian ‘privilege’

A bulletin board prominently displayed in Appalachian State University denounces white, male, Christian ‘privilege’.

Students enrolled at Appalachian State University must walk past a ‘privilege board’ denouncing their white, male, able-bodied, Christian, or cisgender privilege any time the wish to enter the Student Union.

There was also a nearly identical board that was spotted located and prominently displayed within a residence hall at Appalachian State University last year, however, the controversy that the bulletin board attracted was apparently not sufficient to prevent it from reappearing in an ever more prominent location within the University, as reported by Campus Reform.

The bulletin board is located in the Plemmons Student Union, which the University regards as “the centerpiece of the Appalachian campus,” and was apparently put up by a student group last school semester, but has been allowed to remain in place.

Campus Reform notes the bulletin board features fliers from the “Check Your Privilege” campaign, which was started by professors at the University of San Francisco, and features memes with phrases that read, “Look at all the privileges I haven’t checked.”
