F.B.I. agents investigating Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server are seeking to determine who at the State Department passed highly classified information from secure networks to Mrs. Clinton’s personal account, according to law enforcement and diplomatic officials and others briefed on the investigation.
To track how the information flowed, agents will try to gain access to the email accounts of many State Department officials who worked there while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, the officials said. State Department employees apparently circulated the emails on unclassified systems in 2009 and 2011, and some were ultimately forwarded to Mrs. Clinton.
They were not marked as classified, the State Department has said, and it is unclear whether its employees knew the origin of the information.
The F.B.I. is also trying to determine whether foreign powers, especially China or Russia, gained access to Mrs. Clinton’s private server, although at this point, any security breaches are speculation.
Law enforcement officials have said that Mrs. Clinton, who is the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic nomination for president, is not a target of the investigation, and she has said there is no evidence that her account was hacked. There has also been no evidence that she broke the law, and many specialists believe the occasional appearance of classified information in her account was probably of marginal consequence.
A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton said in a statement on Friday that she “took the handling of classified information very seriously.’’
“She always received classified materials in secure settings, either by phone, video conference, on paper or in person,’’ said the spokesman, Nick Merrill. “If, however, some material unknowingly ended up somewhere on the State Department’s unclassified email system, we want to continue to be as helpful as possible in getting to the bottom of that.’’

Really?
If someone passed the information to Mrs. Clinton, after stripping the ‘top secret’ designation from the communique, you can damn sure bet that they were instructed to do so. Who would do that on their own?
It begins. Her Royal Highness will not be held accountable for her crimes. A few underlings will be sacrificed to save her Royal A$$.
Huma’s going down!
Let them keep thinking that until after she wins the Primary (if she does)
Think Huma will sing or take one for the party?
She wasn’t the one with top security clearance whose duty it was to ensure the classification of classified data.
This falls squarely on the cankles of Hillary.
My question is why did she have this data?
Was she selling it to foreign governments in exchange for donations?
Because that would be espionage.
Oh I see. It’s not HER fault these idiots passed her classified emails. See?!
Pay no heed to anything else. It’s not her fault, it’s not her fault, it’s not her fault.
“It begins. Her Royal Highness will not be held accountable for her crimes. A few underlings will be sacrificed to save her Royal A$$.”
Indeed.
You have nailed it.
FBI working to cover for H->.
>> To track how the information flowed, agents will try to gain access to the email accounts of many State Department officials who worked there while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state
A cover-up of breathtaking audacity and scope is in process.
The arrogance and criminality of this administration defies description.
The only series H-> is is demented.
IF it turns out that State Departments employees were circulating top secret emails on unclassified systems, wasn’t that Hillary’s State Department? And who were these employees - Huma?
To the ordinary voter, it has to seem like nothing was more top secret to Hillary than whatever she had to hide on her private server.
On a Weiner?
...and it's the underlings' fault?
It's a two-way street. They can either broom the investigation or indict her, depending on how she behaves and what they want to get from her.
Nothing is Hillary’s fault. That can’t possibly happen. Pure as the driven snow don’t ya know.
