Former FBI General Counsel James Baker originally believed Hillary Clinton's mishandling of highly classified information was "Alarming" and "Appalling." At the time, he believed her use of a private server to send the classified emails was sufficient enough to secure an indictment to possibly charge her for violations under the Espionage Act, for mishandling sensitive government documents.
Baker held onto that belief until shortly before his former boss FBI Director James Comey made the public announcement not to charge Clinton on July 5, 2017.
"As the FBI general counsel, you originally believed it was appropriate, it was appropriate to charge Hillary Clinton with violation of the law for mishandling classified information," asked Ratcliff, who is with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
"You told the Inspector Gen. that the conduct of Hillary Clinton and her associates was appalling with respect to the handling of classified information" Ratcliffe asks Baker.
Stunningly, Ratcliff asks Baker if he still believes Clinton's mishandling of the classified information is appalling.
In another back and forth questioning with Ratcliff, Baker states that Comey, along with others, eventually convinced him that they couldn't prove Clinton's intentions in mishandling the classified information.
Ratcliff pivots back to Baker's decision to change his mind regarding Clinton.
