Vindication! Paul Begala points out that there might only be a dozen FBI agents investigating Hillary

Last week, the Washington Post reported that there could be as many as 147 FBI agents involved in the investigation of Hillary Clinton.

Other “sources” have given a different number:

A report said 147 FBI agents were on Clinton email case…

It's actually about 12, a fed law source tells me:https://t.co/Ucpnos2IC8

CNN contributor and former Clinton adviser Paul Begala laughed off the WaPo’s earlier report:

So the @washingtonpost report was only off by 135? Rounding error. https://t.co/FZbJxJuNz1

For most people, knowing there are a dozen FBI agents involved in their investigation would still be considered potentially bad news (how many FBI agents are investigating the other candidates?), but maybe in the Clintons’ world that’s the equivalent of full vindication.

Former employee of current Secretary of State Kerry says only 12 FBI agents investigating Clinton.

Sure. Ok. https://t.co/yCAdq0nExe
