The FBI did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment from Kable. A message left with an assistant for Coleman, who now works for Caterpillar, was not immediately returned. Strzok has denied to lawmakers that his personal messages ever affected the integrity of his work. Like Strzok, Page also testified that their intentions were not nefarious, but reflected that investigators considered a Trump win to be an unlikely scenario.
Laufman, a former senior official at the department, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She pushed back against the suggestion that the FBI “blew over” potentially charging Clinton with gross negligence under the Espionage Act, saying officials did consider it — but decided that the move would be too “constitutionally vague,” unprecedented, and “that they did not feel that they could sustain a charge.” Page also said Richard Scott, the Justice Department official in charge of overseeing the Clinton probe, had advised against making the harsher charge.
