As pressure builds on Hillary Clinton to explain her official use of personal email while serving as secretary of state, she faced new complications Tuesday. It was disclosed her top aides are being drawn into a burgeoning federal inquiry and that two emails on her private account have been classified as “Top Secret.”
The inspector general for the Intelligence Community notified senior members of Congress that two of four classified emails discovered on the server Clinton maintained at her New York home contained material deemed to be in one of the highest security classifications - more sensitive than previously known.
The notice came as the State Department inspector general’s office acknowledged that it is reviewing the use of “personal communications hardware and software” by Clinton’s former top aides after requests from Congress.
“We will follow the facts wherever they lead, to include former aides and associates, as appropriate,” said Douglas Welty, a spokesman for the State Department’s inspector general.
Despite the acknowledgment, the State Department inspector general’s office has left numerous unanswered questions, including exactly who and what is being investigated. The office initially declined to comment and referred questions to the Intelligence Community inspector general’s office, which said it is not currently involved in any inquiry into aides and is being denied full access to aides’ emails by the State Department. Clinton, herself, is not a target.
The expanding inquiry threatens to further erode Clinton’s standing as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Since her reliance on private email was revealed in March, polls in crucial swing states show that increasing numbers of voters say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, in part, because of her use of private emails.

“Top aides”. Lol. Somebody is about to fall on their sword.
LOL...
The first sign that this is truly a serious issue will be the announcement by a major Democrat to enter the presidential race. There’s no way Obama would allow the DOJ to get tough with Hillary without a strong replacement ready to go. Could be Biden or could be Warren. But until another big name is in the race, Hillary is safe.
This is all she wrote. Obama will “do her in” and order the party to support that communist woman from Massachusetts. Obama told her not to deal with Bloomenbutt ( She sent him “top secret emails from her unsecure home server) and she ran against obama. He put her over there to keep her out of the way in 2012. She is NOW gone!!
Elizabeth something will enter the race by September 1 with the full backing of the DNC. Biden is a Joke.
She will attract the parasites and they are 47% in a normal dull election but Trump will rally millions of silent majority and beat her by a landslide. Instead of a “white horse” it is a Boeing 757!
One last tip for Trump ( and they read here every day). I really need to do a vanity but someone else can, as Follows:
Donald. Since the RNC-E wants you to swear and affirm that you will support the nominee and not go 3rd party-— consider this DEAL. Every other candidate swears that if you win the nomination, they will endorse YOU!! and without exception stand on the platform at the convention BY YOUR SIDE!! Good Deal Donald ? ( I’m very smart. You might send me a private message.) Go TRUMP!! ( by the way . I watched him in Detroit tonight. It was his best speech EVER!!!
You are totally right
Warren is definitely in.
Her buddy Bernie was just the stalking horse so Warren could never be blamed for knocking off Hillary, although it looks like Hillary will knock off Hillary.
It was all pre-said by Dick Harpoolian 9 days ago, and he would not have said so without a go-ahead from the DNC.
The buzz line tonight in DC is; “34% percent of the voters adore her. That gets her the media attention. The rest hate her with a passion. You can’t get elected with 66% of the voters hating you.”
Is that ‘date’ or ‘rape’?
FWIW, I still believe Jaunita Broadrick!
In Feb 2001 at the FReeper victory brunch, I called her Satan’s Daughter on CSPAN. Some said I was over the top. I wonder if they still think so.
I think you’re right. Obama hates the Clintons. I think he had her by the Huma hairs when he offered the SOS job. She had no choice but to take it. The dem party would have destroyed her AND their foundation if she had turned him down.
You’re also right that he didn’t want her to run against him in 2012. She probably would have beaten him IF she’d had party support. But she didn’t so all she could do was wait until 2016. Screwing around with Blumenthal and the email server shows how stupid she is.
I think the Chicago and muslim machine have beaten the Clintons at their own game.
I’ve been posting all over the place that Trump should ask at the next debate “Who will support me if I win the nomination? A show of hands, please.” But he shouldn’t wait that long. Every reporter is reading his tweets. He should tweet it out immediately. All of the republicans would be forced to respond. Then Trump should tweet “I’m not sure these people can be trusted.” ha!
I think the Congressional Committees knew about this last spring based on reports the IGs gave in classified briefings. Gowdy suggested as such about the depth of this when it becomes public would shake all of Washington.
I think the ones they will put in the legal vise is Cheryl Mills and Huma.
Hillary claimed to the judge in her declaration that Cheryl Mills did NOT have an account on Hillary’s Server but she A) is a sleazy Lawyer and B)Hillary’s chief of Staff. IMHO when the IG said in its report that it continues to investigate
the use of Hillary and others use of unauthorized email they are referring to her.
Very correct.... and there is more.
There are now two “progressive” machines in DC and three and a half total political machines.
Until 2008, there were only two, the RNC and the DNC.
Now there is the RNC, The Tea Party (not well organized) the DNC (Hillary’s home base, up until now) and Obama’s organization, OFA.
As an example of how far apart the DNC and OFA are, Sharpton and Jackson hate each other. Sharpton is OFA, Jessie Jackson is DNC and virtually powerless after the “we’re going to cut the nuts of this n*****” comment into a live microphone.
The Clinton’s hate the Obamas. They “stole” her coronation/presidency in 2008. Hillary wasn’t the DNC’s only egg in the basket in 2016. She was the whole basket. Who was even running for VP? It was all Hillary.
She is not physically well, and in private, greatly showing her age. She is far from “sharp.”
Warren is an OFA, not DNC candidate, and there is another if she fails.
Always quietly in the POLITICAL background, Kerry.
Having the server in her house eliminates all “plausible” deniability of what was going on with it. All the users of it lead directly back the Hillary and it is unavoidable.
The word in DC is that she is in far from good health, far from the sharp Hillary she once was, and when speaking, “Doesn’t know her name without a teleprompter.”
I hate the bitch, but 20 years ago she was “sharp.” Not now.
Awesome. I did not see you wonderful posts about the other candidates supporting Trump. I apologize. I simply missed it. Hey guys at Trump’s. Message this person— He/She was first. They are very busy and I think they have this by now. Trump was great on Hannity. I disagree on planned Parent hoods. I would end their existence but he is correct. They do other thing. I just can’t bring myself to say “ Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water”. Tears come to my eyes.
If enough people post it maybe someone in his organization will see it and they’ll run with it. It astounds me why they haven’t thought of it. It seemed obvious to me. He should have answered Baier with this statement. “When the other candidates on this stage with me tell me if they’ll support me if I’m the nominee, then I’ll answer your question about who I’ll support.”
Great post. My thought on Kerry is — he is trapped. He cannot run because of the failing IRAN TREATY!! ( which republicrats changed to a statute!!— I HATE CORKER/MC CONNELL). He wants to run but he is 74 and has the broken leg anf this TREATY eats him alive. Hillary loved it before today when she went burnt toast. Elizabeth Warren has nothing to bring to the table but she will try. Sanders is a communist joke attracting mindless socialists. He is not on anyone’s screen. Warren by September 1!!
I totally agree . It is the obvious DEAL.
BTW thanks. Let us stand together or we will be beheaded one by one.
There is nothing classified — just stuff that’s top secret.
No, no, that’s Pop Secret!
