Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed the FBI’s decision not to indict Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of State, accusing the agency of “bad judgment.”
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee called the decision “very very unfair” and the product of a rigged system in a series of tweets:
The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment.

FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow! #RiggedSystem

{mosads}In a press briefing at the bureau’s headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency would not pursue charges against Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, for her email setup.
Comey excoriated Clinton for “extremely careless” handling of highly classified information but said investigators and prosecutors had concluded there was not sufficient evidence to push forward with an indictment.
