The FBI has begun looking into the security of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private e-mail setup, contacting in the past week a Denver-based technology firm that helped manage the unusual system. Also, the FBI contacted Clinton’s lawyer, David Ken­dall, with questions about the security of a thumb drive in his possession that contains copies of work e-mails Clinton sent during her time as secretary of state.

Intelligence officials expressed concern that some sensitive information was not in the government’s possession and could be “compromised.”

Kendall confirmed the contact, saying: “The government is seeking assurance about the storage of those materials. We are actively cooperating.” A lawyer for the Denver company, Platte River Networks, declined to comment, as did multiple Justice Department officials.

The inquiries are bringing to light new information about Clinton’s use of the system and the lengths to which she went to install a private channel of communication outside government control — a setup that has emerged as a major issue in her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. For instance, the server installed in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home as she was preparing to take office as secretary of state was originally used by her first campaign for the presidency, in 2008, according to two people briefed on the setup.

A staffer replaced a server that Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, had been using in the house. The inquiries by the FBI follow concerns from government officials that potentially hundreds of e-mails that passed through Clinton’s private server contained classified or sensitive information.

Bingo. It is all for show.
Hillary will never be held accountable, but let you or I step out of line and all hell breaks loose.

Even amoungst all this “investigation”, she will still be the dem nominee and will probably win given how they won in 2012.

“The fact she had it is the offense.”

Oh heck; I thought every Cabinet level official went to Best Buy and bought a $1,000 Dell server. And stuck it in a broom closet and stored our nations secrets.

Security; who needs security, or accountability?
