Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert told the Washington Examiner that he believes the FBI will not recommend an indictment for Hillary Clinton in the email probe case.
The Republican lawmaker said he believed the FBI would announce that they were "just laying out the evidence," and leave it to the Justice Department to issue any indictment.
"Director Comey is a pretty straight-up guy, and I don't think he'll pull any punches," Gohmert said, referring to FBI Director James Comey. "But I could also see him avoiding all the controversy by just saying, here's all the evidence, it's not our job to indict."
Gohmert, a Texas state judge who spent ten years in the Army's Judge
Advocate General Corps, said he believed evidence shows Clinton should
be indicted.
However, he explained that he didn't believe she would be, unless she spoke negatively about the president.
"If she were to turn around and start criticizing Obama herself, I could see her being indicted very quickly," Gohmert told the Examiner.
