Washington
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
following
an
announcement
by
U.S.
Attorney
General
Loretta
Lynch
that
no
charges
will
be
brought
against
Hillary
Clinton.
“The
F.B.I.’s
findings
made
it
painfully
obvious
that
Secretary
Clinton
put
our
national
security
and
classified
information
at
risk,
and
even
that
her
email
was
probably
hacked
by
foreign
operatives.
We
have
seen
other
examples
of
people
who
have,
maliciously
or
not,
put
classified
information
at
risk,
and
they
did
not
receive
the
same
treatment.
This
shows
if
your
last
name
is
Clinton,
you
are
clearly
playing
by
a
different
set
of
rules.
This
is
not
what
America
stands
for,
period.
I
look
forward
to
F.B.I.
Director
Comey
testifying
before
the
U.S.
House,
and
learning
more
about
how
they
came
to
this
decision.
I
will
continue
to
work
with
my
colleagues
to
ensure
that
your
last
name
doesn’t
determine
how
you’re
treated
in
the
eyes
of
the
law."
