The FBI investigation has reportedly centered on 18 US Code 793, a section of the Espionage Act related to gathering and transmitting national-defense information, and is being led by an FBI “A-team” out of its Washington, D.C., headquarters.
“Nearly all [FBI] investigations are assigned to one of the bureau’s 56 field offices,” The New York Times reported last month.
“But given this inquiry’s importance, senior FBI officials have opted to keep it closely held in Washington in the agency’s counterintelligence section, which investigates how national security secrets are handled.”
Hillary fought with the White House switchboard on who she was and then she sent an email asking how to turn on the ‘ringer’ on her cell phone. Sheesh…
Some samples coming your way. Just reviewing some of these tells us that not only can she not be president but a special prosecutor is now called for.
Mediaite: When Hillary Clinton fielded questions about her private server use in the past, one of the recurring defenses she has used was that there was no evidence that her doing so caused any major security problems.
Within the 6,300 pages of emails that were released today, however, it was shown that hackers linked to Russia tried to pry their way in at least five times.
While it is unclear whether she opened them and exposed her account, Clinton received several infected emails disguised as speeding tickets back in 2011. The emails instructed recipients to print the attached tickets, which would have given a virus a way into her computer:
Numerous concerns have been raised regarding whether Clinton’s private server has made sensitive information more vulnerable to hackers, which were made more worrisome by the recent cyber-attacks on the government from the Chinese and the Russians. Security researchers have analyzed the software, and said that infected computers would end up transmitting information from victims to at least three server computers overseas.
Ambassador ousted for private email use sent Clinton classified info
WashingtonExaminer: An ambassador who was ousted from his position in part for using private email sent top State Department officials classified information a year before his removal.
Scott Gration, the former U.S. ambassador to Kenya, sent Hillary Clinton’s staff an “update on trilateral talks” in Sept. 2011 that is mostly redacted and marked classified, emails released Wednesday by the State Department show.
Gration appeared to reference officials from the governments of Ethiopia, Sudan and South Sudan in the first part of his email. The lengthy memo was forwarded to Clinton by Jake Sullivan, her former director of policy planning.
Clinton responded that she was “willing to make the calls [Gration] requested.”
Gration was pushed from his post in 2012 after setting up an unsecured email system in the bathroom of his embassy office.
His address in the memo to Sullivan was redacted. But if, as the State Department’s inspector general found in Aug. 2012, Gration had sent the official record using his personal account, Clinton and the agency’s top brass would have been aware of his private email use a year before the scathing watchdog report that prompted his removal.
Despite the inspector general’s findings that Gration violated agency policy, Clinton has defended her own private email use by insisting it was technically allowed by the State Department.
