Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) released the following statement after today's announcement on the FBI investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton:

"No one is above the law. Today, exceptions were made for Hillary Clinton. Title 18, U.S. Code Section 793(f) is just one federal law that was rewritten today to carve out an exception for Hillary Clinton. Intent is not an element of this gross negligence statute. On the Department of Justice building, etched in stone, is the quote 'Where law ends, tyranny begins'. One of the biggest issues here is that every day, Americans are prosecuted in criminal courts for so much less. Hillary Clinton not only grossly mishandled classified information in a very convoluted and reckless scheme, but then she lied about it. America notices when time and again, the Clintons bring the system down with them, rather than leading consistently with a strong moral compass."
