前国务卿希拉里·克林顿周三在一档播客节目中透露,她后悔在2016年总统大选前没有更强硬地对抗时任联邦调查局(FBI)局长詹姆斯·科米。
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton revealed during a podcast discussion on Wednesday that she regretted not confronting former FBI Director James Comey more forcefully ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
“我希望有人当时告诉我,我需要正面交锋吉姆·科米,”克林顿在与卡拉·斯威舍共同主持的《高风险》节目中说。“我需要真正挑战他打破惯例的做法,他违背司法部不干预选举的规范,他蓄意、鲁莽地试图讨好共和党人。我希望我曾以非常强硬、正面的方式去应对。但我没有。”
"I wish somebody had told me that I needed to take on Jim Comey," Clinton said on "High Stakes" alongside Kara Swisher. "I needed to really challenge his breach of precedent, his breaking the Justice Department's norms of not interfering in elections, his deliberate, reckless effort to curry favor with the Republicans. I wish I had taken it on in a very forcefully, frontal way.
科米在2016年担任FBI局长期间,于2016年10月28日——正好是周三的10年前——致信国会,告知议员FBI将审查新发现的邮件,这些邮件可能与其对克林顿使用私人电子邮件服务器的调查有关。就在2016年大选前两天,即11月6日,科米又通知国会,该审查并未改变FBI早先的结论,即不对克林顿提起刑事指控并无不当。
And I didn’t." Comey, while serving as FBI director in 2016, sent a letter to Congress on Oct. 28, 2016 — exactly 10 years ago Wednesday — informing lawmakers that the FBI would review newly discovered emails potentially related to its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server. Just two days before the 2016 election, on Nov. 6, Comey informed Congress that the review had not changed the FBI's earlier conclusion that criminal charges against Clinton were not warranted.
希拉里·克林顿将2016年大选失利列入民主党选民的“艰难时刻”清单,其中包括9·11事件、2008年金融危机“当时我想跟FBI局长打一场仗吗?事后看来,是的,我想。所以,是的。我希望我当时能,你知道,真的直面他,以一种方式跟他打一场仗,”克林顿补充道。斯威舍表示赞同,说:“你必须反击。”
HILLARY CLINTON INCLUDES 2016 LOSS IN 'HARD TIMES' LIST FOR DEM VOTERS, INCLUDING 9/11, 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS "Did I want to pick a fight with the director of the FBI? Well, in retrospect, yeah, I did. So, yeah. I wish I had been, you know, really in his face and picked a fight with him in a way," Clinton added.
“我在该反击而不反击这件事上,做‘正人君子’做得太久了,因为你知道旧有的假设已经不复存在,你必须更多地介入其中,意识到真正的危险是什么,并敢于发声、敢于反击,”克林顿补充道。
Swisher agreed and said, "You have to push back." "I've been the do-right person for way too long when it comes to, not fighting back, because you know the old assumptions are gone, and you've got to be much more in the mix and aware of, you know, what the real dangers are and speak up and fight back," Clinton added.
司法部周一对科米提起刑事指控,指控他涉嫌于2016年故意向未获授权的人员传达国防信息。
The Justice Department filed a criminal information against Comey on Monday over allegations that he willfully communicated national defense information to an unauthorized person in connection with an alleged 2016 disclosure.
联邦检察官在哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院提交了两项刑事指控书,指控科米传达国防信息并与他人共谋非法泄露该信息。
Federal prosecutors filed the two-count criminal information in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging Comey communicated national defense information and conspired with others to unlawfully disclose it.
司法部表示,提交该指控是为了在诉讼时效届满前保留指控,因为调查仍在进行中。
The Justice Department said that the filing was made to preserve the allegations before the statute of limitations expired as an investigation remains ongoing.
检察官指控,在2016年10月5日前后,科米明知故犯地将与国防有关的信息传达给一名无权接收该信息的人。
Prosecutors allege that on or about Oct. 5, 2016, Comey knowingly and willfully communicated information related to the national defense to a person who was not entitled to receive it.
科米的律师对该指控提出异议。他们辩称,检察官在未先获得联邦大陪审团起诉书的情况下,无法推进此案。
Comey's attorneys have challenged the filing. They've argued that prosecutors cannot move forward with the case without first obtaining an indictment from a federal grand jury.
科米周一在Instagram帖子中否认有任何不当行为,称最新行动是“司法部令人震惊的滥用职权”。“我没有任何改变。我依然清白。我不怕这些人。我依然相信独立的联邦司法体系,”科米说。
Comey denied wrongdoing in an Instagram post Monday, calling the latest action an "appalling abuse of the Department of Justice." "Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary," Comey said. "To quote Elsa from ‘Frozen’: ‘Let It Go!

“引用《冰雪奇缘》中艾尔莎的话:‘随它去吧!随它去吧!’”福克斯新闻撰稿人乔·孔查在给福克斯新闻数字媒体的一份声明中谈到克林顿的言论时说。“至于希拉里,她如此粗心大意、鲁莽行事,且很可能违法地处理高度机密信息,这不是她现在应该重提的事情,仿佛她是受害者一样。即使她攻击科米,也无法改变她从未在威斯康星州竞选的事实。无法改变她当时居高临下地对待超过7000万特朗普选民、称他们为‘可悲之徒’的事实。而且,如果没有时光机,她现在也得不到重来一次的机会。”福克斯新闻数字媒体已联系科米团队置评。
Let It Go!’," Fox News contributor Joe Concha told Fox News Digital in a statement about Clinton's remarks. "As for Hillary, the way she so carelessly and recklessly, and probably illegally handled highly classified information is something she shouldn’t be revisiting now, as if she was the victim. Even if she took on Comey, that still doesn’t change the fact she never campaigned in Wisconsin. It doesn’t change the fact that she spoke down to more than 70 million Trump voters at the time whom she called deplorable. And it doesn’t change the fact that, without a time machine, she doesn’t get a do-over now." Fox News Digital reached out to Comey's team for comment.
法律专家警告:科米“86 47”起诉面临第一修正案障碍 在“高风险”节目的另一近期一集中,克林顿批评了演员马修·麦康纳呼吁选民考虑独立候选人的一段视频。
LEGAL EXPERTS WARN COMEY ‘86 47’ INDICTMENT FACES FIRST AMENDMENT HURDLES In another recent episode of "High Stakes," Clinton criticized a video from actor Matthew McConaughey encouraging voters to consider independent candidates.
马修·麦康纳本月在社交媒体上发声,挑战了长期以来的一种观念,即投票给独立候选人等于浪费选票。他辩称,仅仅几位独立议员就能极大地改变华盛顿的权力平衡。
McConaughey took to social media this month and challenged the long-held notion that voting for an independent candidate is a wasted vote, arguing that just a handful of independent lawmakers could dramatically shift the balance of power in Washington.
克林顿说:“我认为这真的很不幸,一个演技如此出色、影响力如此之大的人……在旨在阻止特朗普腐败、免责和对国家造成极端破坏的中期选举前两周,会暗示任何独立候选人真的是更好的选择。”
"I think it's really unfortunate that somebody who's such a great actor with such a reach… two weeks before a midterm that is aimed at stopping Trump's corruption, impunity and extreme damage to the country, would suggest that any independent candidate is really a better choice," Clinton said.
