Also Confirms Over 49,000 Clinton Server Emails Found on Weiner Laptop
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that a senior FBI official admitted, in writing and under oath, that the agency found Clinton email records in the Obama White House, specifically, the Executive Office of the President. The FBI also admitted nearly 49,000 Clinton server emails were reviewed as result of a search warrant for her material on the laptop of Anthony Weiner.
E.W. (Bill) Priestap, assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division, made the disclosure to Judicial Watch as part of court-ordered discovery into the Clinton email issue.
U.S District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides, as well as Priestap, to be deposed or answer writer questions under oath. The court ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”
Priestap was asked by Judicial Watch to identify representatives of Hillary Clinton, her former staff, and government agencies from which “email repositories were obtained.” Priestap responded with the following non-exhaustive list:
Bryan Pagliano Cheryl Mills Executive Office of the President [Emphasis added] Heather Samuelson Jacob Sullivan Justin Cooper United States Department of State United States Secret Service Williams & Connolly LLP Priestap also testifies that 48,982 emails were reviewed as a result of a warrant for Clinton email account information from the laptop of Anthony Weiner, who had been married to top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
A complete copy of Priestap’s interrogatory responses is available here. Priestap, is serving as assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division and helped oversee both the Clinton email and the 2016 presidential campaign investigations. Priestap testified in a separate lawsuit that Clinton was the subject of a grand jury investigation related to her BlackBerry email accounts.
“This astonishing confirmation, made under oath by the FBI, shows that the Obama FBI had to go to President Obama’s White House office to find emails that Hillary Clinton tried to destroy or hide from the American people.” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “No wonder Hillary Clinton has thus far skated – Barack Obama is implicated in her email scheme.”
Priestap was ordered to answer the written questions by United States District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth when he ruled in January that Judicial Watch’s discovery could begin in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. This action came in Judicial Watch’s July 2014 FOIA lawsuit for:
Copies of any updates and/or talking points given to Ambassador Rice by the White House or any federal agency concerning, regarding, or related to the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Any and all records or communications concerning, regarding, or relating to talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack given to Ambassador Rice by the White House or any federal agency.
Judicial Watch’s discovery seeks answers to:
Whether Clinton intentionally attempted to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by using a non-government email system; whether the State Department’s efforts to settle this case beginning in late 2014 amounted to bad faith; and whether the State Department adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch’s FOIA request.
CRIPS Prez
the new HONEST, one-man DOJ:
Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch prez
OK Barr....LOCK HER UP!!!!
This was reported by JW and in the Washington Examiner yesterday. Has anybody seen it reported on any TV network yet, including Fox?
Gosh, I remember how I couldn’t sleep the night before a Communications Security inspection.
And here, all I had to do, was say that I was Hillary Clinton.
You didn’t mean to break the law. Good enough.
Has anybody seen it reported on any TV network yet, including Fox?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
No, because you are a mysoginist and a clearly a racist. /sheldon
I heard Rush bring it up Today.
Funny how we never found out what was on Weiner’s laptop...
And liberals would be fine with that.
Meanwhile, all we have are Republican Congressmen to fight the good fight. But they decided long ago they are going to go along to get along.
Much ado about nothing.
Thanks for that LOL. I'm deplorable.
While we know these are a nest of lying snakes aren’t Executive Branch communications routinely examined and handled in house?
“I will pass this along to Vladimir.”
They're going to try to do a grand bargain with PDJT: "we'll let you have your second term if you put Hellary and Obola scandals in the memory hole."
That guy’s ‘wife’ has sure been mum
Ding...ding...ding....we have a winner!
Tom Fitton, doing the work of all the media and the DOJ.
We have been conditioned by decades of conflict with the Soviet Union to think that all spying is done to advance world political domination.
That’s just not true.
Throughout human history, spying was done to make money.
So, just because the old Soviet Union is gone doesn’t mean that spying, espionage, by American citizens against the US stopped.
It is still done to make money.
Hillary and Obama like money.
“Funny how we never found out what was on Weiner’s laptop...”
Hum, may want to rethink that sentence. How about in his storage devise. I’d rather not know what they found ON his laptop!(s)
Faux is busy reporting on what the Kardasians are wearing today.
