You’ve Got Mail: The FBI yesterday interviewed Hillary Clinton for their investigation of her use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.

The 3 ½ hour interview took place at FBI headquarters in Washington and Clinton was represented by lawyers. The focus of the investigation is on whether Clinton committed the crime of mishandling classified information.

Nick Merrill, a campaign spokesman, called it “a voluntary interview.” No matter what happens, the issue will dog her until election day and possibly beyond.

Dan Balz writes in The Washington Post President Bill Cinton’s visit with Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch last week has made a messy situation messier. He points out that the Obama Justice Department is investigating the Democratic candidate endorsed by the president. “Think of this: The president has endorsed and is actively campaigning for Clinton at a time when his Justice Department is in the process of deciding whether she should be prosecuted. Although that has drawn little comment, it shocks some who have been in senior positions in previous governments and who believe that no White House can be truly indifferent or disinterested in such an important case.

Islamic State: The restaurant massacre in Bangladesh is evidence that the Islamic State is branching out as its territorial grip shrinks in the Middle East. ISIS is Sunni Muslim and so is the majority of Bangladesh.

The men armed with guns and swords targeted mostly foreigners, killing two Bangladeshis, one Bangladeshi-American, nine Italians, seven Japanese and one Indian.

The restaurant staff said the killers were very polite, assuring them that they wanted to kill only foreigners. They said that the foreigners with their immodest clothes and habit of drinking alcohol were corrupting Bangladeshis.

The Obit Page: Elie Wiesel, a survivor of Auschwitz who spent his life writing, speaking, and making the world remember the murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust, has died at age 87.

Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1986. His citation said, “Wiesel is a messenger to mankind. His message is one of peace, atonement and human dignity. His belief that the forces fighting evil in the world can be victorious is a hard-won belief.”

Released from Buchenwald at the end of the war, fifteen years later his autobiographical book “Night” forced the world to confront what had happened. He wrote, “Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live long as God himself. Never.”

>Michael Cimino, the director of the Vietnam War movie The Deer Hunter, was found dead in his Hollywood home at age 77. The movie chronicled what the war did to the lives of a group of young friends from a small Pennsylvania town. It’s famous for its Russian roulette scene with Robert DeNiro and Christopher Walken.

News from Lake Wobegon: When Garrison Keillor taped his last radio show of A Prairie Home Companion at The Hollywood Bowl, he gave each member of the audience a note. It said, in part: “And now, as retirement nears, it’s a revelation to be accosted by people who want to say: Your show has meant a lot to me. Some of them have been tuned in for most of their lives. It’s very sweet. Also confusing, since I never was a big fan of the show myself. I enjoyed doing the show — it was the only social life I had — but the show was never as good as I wanted it to be, and that’s just a fact.” His show was not good enough for 42 years.

Palintology: Sarah Palin described her appearance with James Carville at last weekend’s Politicon as follows: “I told them, ‘You know, it’s really funny to me to see the splodey heads keep sploding over this movement.’”
