Trump campaign keeps saying HRC meeting with FBI was not under oath so doesn't count -


9/11 Commission - not FBI investigation - but other members of administration were required to testify in front of commission and congress, under oath and in public.

This meeting counted!!!

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/28/us/bush-cheney-9-11-interview-won-t-be-formally-recorded.html?_r=0

-- joint interview of Bush and Cheney - not separate interviews.

--- no recording or formal transcription

-- recorded by two note takers, one from the White House and one from Commission.

-- no recording device. The panel said it did not press for a formal transcription of the session, letting the White House decide.

-- a ''private meeting''

-- not under oath,

-- not testifying, just talking.

and steer it clear of the Comey politicized his office, plus Gouliani and most likely tRump got a heads up on it.

that's what Martha Stewart was convicted of doing (rather than the insider trading accusation that led to the interview).
