The suit specifically refers to FBI Director James Comeys statement on July 5, 2016, concerning Clintons use of an unsecure email account while conducting official State Department business:
From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 emails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received.
Despite the FBI findings and the requirements of Intelligence Community Directive 732, however, the suit argues that: On or about September 14, 2016, ODNI announced that no Intelligence Community-wide damage assessment into Secretary Clintons email practices would be conducted and that no individual Intelligence Community member would conduct such an assessment.
In addition to the ODNI and the State Department, the suit names Michael Dempsey in his official capacity as acting director of national intelligence, William Evanina in his official capacity as national counterintelligence executive, and Rex W. Tillerson in his official capacity as U.S. secretary of state.
Judicial Watch has made repeated requests for information concerning any ODNI investigation of Clintons email practices:
On September 16, 2016, Judicial Watch sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to ODNI seeking access to records about the decision not to conduct the required assessment.
When ODNI failed to respond to the request within the time required by FOIA, Judicial Watch filed suit. As of the date of this complaint, ODNI still has not produced any responsive records.
On January 10, 2017, Judicial Watch sent a letter to then-Director Clapper, National Counterintelligence Executive Evanina, and then-Secretary John Kerry formally requesting that the damage assessment required by ICD 732 be commenced without further delay.

Judicial watch, doing to work that our Congress should be doing, especially Repubs.
Trump really needs to wrestle control of this government away from the Obama/Clinton swamp people... and soon. I don’t know how he’s going to do that, but it’s our only hope.
There is like 3,400 political appointed positions (schedule C, etc.) throughout FedGov. How many of them are still in place? They all should have been out the door on January 21!
