As Hillary Clinton seeks to rebound from a highly critical report from the State Departments inspector general, Senate investigators and a conservative group are zeroing in on newly revealed evidence about the activities of a now retired State Department computer specialist in orchestrating what they charge was a cover-up of the former secretary of states email practices.
The role of John Bentel, whose identity as a key figure in the email probes was first reported by Yahoo News on Wednesday, is expected to be one focus of questioning today when Clintons former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, is deposed in a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch over the State Departments handling of Freedom of Information Act requests relating to Clintons emails, according to a source close to the case.
Sen. Charles Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is also signaling that he intends to pursue Bentels role, saying that statements in the inspector generals report show he muzzled staffers who warned that Clintons exclusive use of a private email system might be in violation of federal record-keeping laws...

And now he 'can't recall' the private server at all.
John Bentel: Next to be starring under the Big Clinton Bus...
even kinda looks like a young craig livingstone.
I’d give Bentel limited immunity.
Interesting headline.
Have they done stories about Islam as a “religion”?
Senate sleuths? There’s an oxymoron if I ever heard one. ‘Sleuths’ doesn’t apply to people who couldn’t find their ass with both hands.
Wow! This is big.
Another name to the mix
John Bentel????? Never HEARD of him, but being close to the Clintons will either get you KILLED or in HUGE LAWYER BILLS!!! LOL!!!! They dump these minions like dirt on their sandals.
WHERE IS GRAIG LIVINGSTONE.....a helper in Vince Foster’;s suicide cover-up!
“Bentel, who retired from the State Department in December 2012, was questioned in late June 2015 by the House Benghazi Committee and told investigators that he had no memory or knowledge of Clintons private email server and only learned about it from the newspapers, according to an email that his lawyer, Randy Turk, sent to Judiciary Committee staffers last January.”
FLASHBACK:
Plenty Of Questions Should Prompt Some Investigating
April 4, 1997|By WILLIAM SAFIRE and N.Y. Times News Service
WASHINGTON “The answer you don’t give,” goes the political-legal adage, “never gets you in trouble.”
But there’s a journalistic corollary to that: Evasion of an answer is usually a clue to the presence of a story. Here are a half-dozen probes that meet resistance: 1. Who is paying Craig Livingstone’s legal bills, and why? The former bar bouncer reportedly hired at Hillary Clinton’s direction to oversee White House personnel security was able to amass private information on 900 Republicans from a roundheeled FBI. When newspaper stories forced Janet Reno to ask the independent counsel to investigate this invasion of privacy, Livingstone retained Randy Turk, a $400-per-hour Washington attorney previously indicated to be the Livingstone hand-holder in a White House counsel’s scandal-suppression plan.
We need to shepardize this guy john bentel. Wheredoes he live, what does he do now, who Is he, what his background is. Preferably before he winds up dead in ft marcy park with two fatal self inflicted bullet wounds to his skull lol.
There is no legitimate reason for the US Senate to be conducting an investigation of this matter, and only one legitimate reason for the House of Representatives to take it up. As far as "a conservative group", they have no standing to conduct an investigation with consequences, and they should stop whatever it is they are doing.
I would give john bentel a few weeks at leavenworth to think about what kinds of kiddie porn might be discovered at his desk, then offer him limited immunity...
Just like a lot of Hillary cronies, Bentel “retired” about the time Hillary left the DoS. Wonder when he was hired and by whom?
This computer guy helped shrillary commit felonies.
National security level felonies.
An investigation should be done on him, and everyone else involved .
That investigation is already underway. Politicians grandstanding who have no enforcement powers have no role to play.
Perjury???
Nothing but another bus distraction.
