RELEASE: Santarsiero Calls Clinton FBI Investigation ‘Nonissue’

DOYLESTOWN, PA – Brian Fitzpatrick, former FBI special agent and federal prosecutor, released the following statement Saturday in response to PA Rep. Steve Santarsiero’s comment calling the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s illegal email server a “nonissue:”
 
“For someone who speaks so highly about his ‘independence’, it’s disappointing career politician Steve Santarsiero is so afraid of his liberal party bosses and big-dollar donors that he can’t find it in himself to criticize his endorsed candidate even when she is under continued FBI investigation. Santarsiero’s statement that Sec. Clinton’s actions – which have endangered our national security and contributed to the disintegration in trust in government – are a ‘nonissue’ or simply a ‘mistake’ is offensive to those he wants to represent and shows his true stripes as a partisan politician more concerned with himself than the realities we face as a nation. Bucks and Montgomery counties deserve better.”
