Over a week before the US presidential election, the FBI has announced that it is reopening its investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s email server.
Mike Gravel, a former senator from San Francisco, described the ongoing method being used in the US presidential election campaign as "an embarrassment for the American politics."
“It’s just an embarrassment to the world as how crazy our politics can become,” he told Press TV on Saturday.
“What’s going on is the craziness of American politics and the extremism this involves,” he added.
Gravel said, “When you get to this stage of politics, there’s no exaggeration, no untruth that can’t be used in order to advance your candidate’s position.”
The ex-senator accused the Republicans of exaggeration, saying the FBI had not said it would ever open a new investigation into the email problem.
“All being exhibited right here is nothing new with respect to Hillary, other than the fact that these Republicans in the House with their exaggerations have given fodder to Trump to now exaggerate what’s going on.”
Gravel believes Clinton would win the November 8th election against Republican candidate Donald Trump.
“Once Hillary is elected president of the United States, she will be under an impeachment clout by the Republicans who control the House,” he added.
Clinton sent more than 30,000 emails to the State Department during her tenure as secretary, which were then published in batches in line with a court order.
