Appearing on NBC’s Today on Wednesday, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus predicted GOP contenders would be united in their criticism of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in Thursday’s first primary debate: “...the country’s really not in a good place right now. And Hillary Clinton had a lot to do with it and she’s got a lot of questions that people are asking her, including – I think yesterday the FBI is now asking questions of Hillary Clinton.”
Co-host Savannah Guthrie quickly tried to downplay the breaking news that the FBI would be investigating Clinton’s private e-mail server to determine if classified information was exposed to hacking: “In fact, the FBI, according to a report in the Washington Post, is looking into the set-up of her e-mail server. We're going to get a report on that in a moment. They are not looking into Hillary Clinton herself.”
