    Clinton's Emails: No Charges, But Can Political Damage Be Undone?

    The FBI will not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton for her “extremely careless” use of private email servers while Secretary of State. So Clinton won’t face prosecutorial consequences, but can the political damage be undone?

    FBI Director James Comey announced the results of an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email servers while she was Secretary of State. The FBI is not recommending any charges be brought against her, but Comey said Clinton did email classified information, leaving it vulnerable to foreign hackers, contrary to what she’s claimed. So Clinton won’t face prosecutorial consequences, but what about political consequences? Then, a Canoga Park man was killed by CHP officers following an illegal street racing rally. What have the LAPD and Highway Patrol been doing to crack down on street racing? Next, journalist Suki Kim wrote a 2014 best-seller about her time undercover as a teacher in North Korea. At the time, Kim prepared herself for a backlash from North Korea; but what she did not expect was an even greater backlash at home in the United States. And finally, exploring the new LA food trend of food halls with Katherine Spiers.
