President Obama said on Sunday that he is not going to help Hillary Clinton escape the FBI investigation into her server, or a potential indictment by the Justice Department.
"I can guarantee that," Obama said, rejecting claims by some Republicans that the Justice Department will face pressure to avoid finding fault by Clinton over her use of a private email account.
Obama offered cautious criticism of Clinton's management of her email.
"She's acknowledged that there's a carelessness in terms of managing e-mails that she has owned," he said. "And she recognizes that."
Obama said he can guaranttee there will be no interference with the Justice Department because "I do not talk to the attorney general about pending investigations. I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations. We have a strict line, and always have maintained it," Obama said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.
"I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department or the FBI, not just in this case, but in any case. Full stop. Period. Guaranteed. Full stop. No one gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department, because nobody is above the law," Obama reiterated.
Asked if that would remain the case if she receives the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama was clear: "How many times do I have to say it, Chris? Guaranteed."
Obama said that Clinton had done an "excellent" job as secretary of state.
"I continue to believe that she has not jeopardized America's national security," he said.
"It also is important to recognize and to keep it in perspective this is someone who served her country for four years as secretary of state and did an outstanding job, and no one has suggested that in some way as a consequence of how she's handled emails, that that detracted from her excellent ability to carry out her duties," he added.
(You know, like the great job she did with Benghazi)
Charles Krauthammer put it best:
"When people talk about Hillary being a superb secretary of state, I just ask one question. Name me one thing, just one, not three, give me one thing she achieved in her four years as secretary of state. I have yet to hear an answer. ... She traveled a lot. So did Marco Polo. And you want him to be president?"
