The Trump administration is investigating the email records of dozens of current and former senior State Department officials who sent messages to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email, reviving a politically toxic matter that overshadowed the 2016 election, current and former officials said. As many as 130 officials have been contacted in recent weeks by State Department investigators — a list that includes senior officials who reported directly to Clinton as well as others in lower-level jobs whose emails were at some point relayed to her inbox, said current and former State Department officials. Those targeted were notified that emails they sent years ago have been retroactively classified and now constitute potential security violations, according to letters reviewed by The Washington Post.

It is time.
ABOUT F’N TIME..should have been done THREE YEARS AGO!
Bet this is part of why the RATS are so unhinged.
Long past time.
Grab a few little fish and squeeze.

Thanks for the report.
I’m so sick of reading ones like this though. How many decades do we have to witness the Clintons and their hand picked criminals avoiding justice?
No. This sounds like hogwash. If something is not classified when one sends it then I don't see how it can be a security violation. If the e-mails were classified when sent then they were not retroactively classified. This sounds like the Compost screaming about nothing.
The State Department? Not the DOJ?
Smelling a rat. Probably a lot of Obama loyalists still in State, cooking up a whitewash to end all whitewashes.
Dem chickens comin' home to roost!
Better go on offense and put them on their heels.
Lower the hammer on this wicked Satanist.
FEDERAL COURT HEARING ON CLINTON EMAILS –
JUDICIAL WATCH ASKING FOR DEPOSITION OF HILLARY CLINTON
JUDICIAL WATCH ^ | 8/21/2019 / FR Posted by bitt
Judicial Watch announced today that a federal court ordered a hearing for Thursday, August 22, 2019, on the Clinton email issue. On December 6, 2018, U.S. District Court Judge Lamberth ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers and Clinton aides to be deposed or answer written questions under oath. The court ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”

The court-ordered discovery into three specific areas: whether Secretary Clinton’s email use of a private email server was intended to stymie FOIA; whether the State Department’s intent to settle this case in late 2014 and early 2015 amounted to bad faith; and whether the State Department has adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch’s request.
Judicial Watch deposed nearly a dozen witnesses and will seek addition witnesses and documents from the court, including the deposition of Hillary Clinton and Cheryl Mills, her chief of staff at State and personal lawyer who directed the destruction of 33,000 State Department Clinton emails. Lawyers for Clinton and Mills are expected at the hearing Thursday.
The hearing and report were ordered in accordance with a July 2014 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, which was filed after the U.S. Department of State failed to respond to a May 13, 2014, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:14-cv-01242)).
In initially granting Judicial Watch discovery, Judge Lamberth criticized the State and Justice Department for possible “bad faith” and “chicanery.”
“Judicial Watch’s has recently gathered troubling, new evidence about the Clinton email scandal and we hope the court will grant us additional discovery to get more facts,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And it is outrageous that the Justice Department continues to try to shield Hillary Clinton on her email misconduct.”

“Those targeted were notified that emails they sent years ago have been retroactively classified and now constitute potential security violations”
Nice try Compost, time doesn’t absolve criminal conduct.
Hillary was not using any sophisticated security. The NSA has all her “bleached” emails.
Good way to identify deep state traitors.
This is why the left is doing everything they can to get Trump. He IS draining the swamp.
There were 130 State Department people emailing Hillary on her unsecure bathroom server about US government business???
I wonder if this retroactive "classified" designation is primarily an effort by the liberal bureaucracy to keep the emails out of the hands of Judicial Watch or others using FOIA to try to pry open government records.
They are concerned....deeply concerned
Fox's the late Krauthammer once said some of the 30k emails Hillary deleted from her private email server very likely had references to the Clinton Foundation, which would be illegal and a conflict of interest.
Here's a concise summary the Clinton Foundation's tax free international money laundering scheme:
1. First, create a separate foreign “charity.”.......this one's in Canada.
2. Foreign oligarchs and governments then donate to this Canadian charity......over 1,000 contributed mega millions out of the goodness of their hearts expecting nothing in return. (Imagine Putin’s buddies deciding to send untold millions to a Canadian charity).
3. The Canadian charity then bundles the separate mega-donations and makes one massive donation to the Clinton Foundation.
4. The Clinton Foundation and the cooperating Canadian charity claim Canadian law prohibits the identification of individual donors. (Canadian officials dispute the claim)
5. The Clinton Foundation then “spends” some of this money for legitimate good works programs (observers believe not more than a measly 10%). The rest goes to enrich the Clinton’s, for salaries paid to untold numbers of political factotums, hangers on, and to fund the Clintons' lavish lifestyle, travel, etc...... all tax free, which means you and I are subsidizing it.
6. The billion dollar Clinton Foundation can hire the world’s best accountants but somehow fails to report much of this funding on their tax filings. They allude to them as“clerical errors” and announce they are they are-filing 5 years of tax returns.
7. Include as a principal mining investor Frank Giustra, Clinton/s globe-trotting crony, who is central to the formation of Uranium One, the Canadian company that somehow acquired massive U.S. uranium interests and then sold them to an organization controlled by Russia.
Net result — foreign money goes into the Clinton’s pockets tax free and is untraceable to the original donor.
This is the textbook definition of money laundering. Now you know why Hillary’s destruction of 30,000 e-mails was a risk she was willing to take.
