Hello, and welcome to "The 700 Club".

For today's top headlines, let's go to the CBN News desk.

Gordon, the FBI may have spared Hillary Clinton

from being charged in her e-mail scandal,

but the political fallout from the investigation

could last all the way through the presidential election,

because it once again raises the issues of Clinton's character

and trustworthiness.

Abigail Robertson brings us the story now from Washington.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON: No criminal charges.

The long awaited FBI e-mail decision handed Hillary Clinton

a political victory, while providing opponents

damaging information to use against her

in the court of public opinion.

Although we did not find clear evidence

that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues

intended to violate laws governing

the handling of classified information,

there is evidence that they were extremely careless

in their handling of very sensitive, highly

classified information.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON: Comey says they

found evidence of potential violations,

but recommended no charges because of no precedent

for charging someone under similar circumstances.

Yet critics quickly pointed to other cases

where people did face legal consequences.

Comey claims those cases are different.

All the cases prosecuted involved some combination

of clearly intentional and willful mishandling

of classified information, or vast quantities of information,

exposed in such a way as to support

an inference of intentional misconduct,

or indications of disloyalty to the United States,

or efforts to obstruct justice.

We do not see those things here.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON: House Speaker Paul Ryan

disagreed, saying this announcement defies

explanation.

No one should be above the law.

Donald Trump also took to Twitter,

calling the system rigged.

Hillary's day just got better, hopping

on Air Force One with President Obama

for their first joint campaign appearance.

While she did not personally address the e-mail news,

her campaign released the following statement.

We are pleased that the career officials handling this case

have determined that no further action by the Department

is appropriate.

We are glad this matter is now resolved.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said

after her controversial meeting last week with Bill Clinton,

she will accept the decision by the FBI director

and other prosecutors, bringing the legality of this issue

to an end.

But Comey's comments on Clinton's bad judgment

and carelessness will undoubtedly haunt her race

to the White House.

Reporting from Washington, Abigail Robertson, CBN News.

The FBI decision removes the legal cloud

hanging over the Clinton campaign,

but not the political cloud.

The Clinton and Trump campaigns are already

showing how they intend to handle the issue.

Heather Sells has that story.

HEATHER SELLS: On the Clinton campaign trail Tuesday,

there was a deafening silence in regards to the FBI decision.

The president, taking to the road

to support his former rival, said

nothing of his administration's decision

to decline to prosecute her.

Instead, talking about the differences between Clinton

and Donald Trump.

You are going to have a very clear choice

to make between two fundamentally different visions

of where America should go.

HEATHER SELLS: But despite her own issues with the public

not considering her trustworthy, Clinton

is still-- so far-- hammering home the issues

of character and temperament.

The world hangs on every word our president says,

and Donald Trump is simply unqualified,

and temperamentally unfit to be our president and Commander

in Chief.

HEATHER SELLS: Critics argue the FBI statements

about Clinton's recklessness with her e-mails

undercuts the argument that she is the candidate with the best

judgment.

Although he declined to prosecute her,

the FBI director said Clinton and her State Department

colleagues were quote, extremely careless

in handling very sensitive, highly classified information.

On the campaign trail in North Carolina

Tuesday, Trump lost no time seizing on that point,

and attacking her judgment again.

She'll never be able to do the job.

Her judgment is horrible.

Look at her judgment on e-mails.

Who would do it?

HEATHER SELLS: It's a serious political punch

for a candidate who struggles with reassuring voters

that she is trustworthy.

And the timing of the FBI'S decision and observations

on Clinton's negligence comes just three weeks

before she is set to formally accept

the Democratic nomination as the party's presidential candidate.
