Typical FOX tactics.
Chris Wallace practically abused President Obama into submission to talk about the issue:

WALLACE: Can you guarantee to the American people, can you direct the Justice Department to say, “Hillary Clinton will be treated — as the evidence goes, she will not be in any way protected.”

OBAMA: I can guarantee that. And I can guarantee that, not because I give Attorney General Lynch a directive, that is institutionally how we have always operated. 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, previous president.

WALLACE: So, just to button this up —

OBAMA: I guarantee it.

WALLACE: You —

OBAMA: 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.

WALLACE: And she will be —

OBAMA: Full stop. Period.

WALLACE: And she will be treated no different —

OBAMA: Guaranteed. Full stop. Nobody gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department, because nobody is above the law.

WALLACE: Even if she ends up as the Democratic nominee?

OBAMA: How many times do I have to say it, Chris? Guaranteed.

24 Hours Later:  “That moment — it was a big one,” said anchor Abby Huntsman on Monday morning of the exchange between President Obama and Wallace on the Clinton emails, “…mainly because it is an ongoing investigation. Why say anything at all here?” she asked contributor Katie Pavlich.

“The question at this point is: when President Obama sits down for an interview and says ‘I can’t comment on it because it’s an ongoing investigation’ then continues in the same, you know, breath to comment on it and defend her as if she’s done nothing wrong, it actually has serious implications on the investigation.”

Any thoughts on what these two would have said if the president told Chris Wallace “The investigation is ongoing, and I can not comment”
