Melanie Sloan on FBI's claim about e-mails: "I would call that a lie, in fact"

Melanie Sloan was just on CNN discussing the FBI's failure to investigate the Foley e-mails  The FBI continues to claim that their initial review of the e-mails "was hampered because the group that provided it the email on July 21st of this year wouldn't name the page and edited the messages."

That group would be CREW.  "I would call that a lie, in fact" was Melanie's response to the FBI claim.  In fact, the e-mails weren't redacted. The page's name and the staffer's name were on the e-mails.  But, now they say they didn't have enough information.  The FBI claimed they had three separate squads review the case.  They are the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Interestingly, CNN interviewed two local law enforcement entities who described what they would have done upon receipt of the e-mails.

We'll get the transcript and hopefully the video later today.
