That's actually a fairly acurate statement.

In Oct. 2015,

Quote:
Federal agents were still cataloging the classified information from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal email server last week when President Obama went on television and played down the matter.
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/17/u...i-inquiry.html

Quote:
“I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” Mr. Obama said Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” He said it had been a mistake for Mrs. Clinton to use a private email account when she was secretary of state, but his conclusion was unmistakable: “This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”
So here you have the President of the USA on national television interfering and commenting on an ongoing investigation. This could not be a clearer message to Hillary supporters in The DOJ and the FBI. The President has spoken.

Then you have the top lawyer in the USA, Attorney General Loretta Lynch meeting with the husband of a person under investigation by the FBI. I guess they talked about the weather.

Then there is the investigation. It was not a normal FBI investigation. A key witness, Cheryl Mills was present when Mrs. Clinton was interviewed. She was later granted immunity for her cooperation. Evidence was destroyed, there was no grand jury, no subpoenas, and no search warrants.

And then there was the people doing the investigation.

From the IG report.

Quote:
We were particularly concerned about text messages sent by Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions they made were impacted by bias or improper considerations. Most of the text messages raising such questions pertained to the Russia investigation, and the implication in some of these text messages, particularly Strzok’s August 8 text message (“we’ll stop” candidate Trump from being elected), was that Strzok might be willing to take official action to impact a presidential candidate’s electoral prospects. Under these circumstances, we did not have confidence that Strzok’s decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop was free from bias
