The Mysterious FBI Sunday Document Dump #5 and The “Missing” Clinton Seagate Hard Drive
Conservative Treehouse ^ | Jan 10 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 01/10/2017 5:42:21 PM PST by Whenifhow

As many of you are aware the FBI mysteriously dumped 300 pages of investigative material in an unusual Sunday evening upload. For the sake of brevity we are calling it “a release”.

[ ]

In addition to the Sidney Blumenthal angle, the question posed by Lou Dobbs about FBI motive for uploading the documents is a dangling participle remaining from the discussion. However, within the release on Page #283 there’s an important discovery which may answer that question.

Bear with me, as I try to explain a complex issue. As outlined by the research group behind the Thompson Timeline, there’s always been a question about a missing “Seagate Hard drive“.

March 2009—June 2011:An external hard drive backs up the data on Clinton’s private server, but it is unclear what happens to it or its replacement. When Clinton’s first server is upgraded with a new server in March 2009, a Seagate external hard drive is attached to the server to store back-up copies of all of its data.

Bryan Pagliano, who manages the server at the time, will later tell the FBI that daily changes are backed up onto the hard drive every day, and a complete back-up is made once a week. As space on the hard drive runs out, backups are deleted on a “first in, first out” basis.

(Page #283 FBI Investigative Release #5) There it is. The mysterious missing Seagate Hard Drive appears; along with dozens of more exhibits of computers, servers, lap tops, thumb drives and portable storage devices gathered by the FBI and held as physical evidence.

Update to clarify the context of the FBI release from Katica, the internet researcher who discovered the documents:

(Via Katica) Please keep in mind that this release was not a Sunday doc dump. It is still not on the FBI Vault site. https://vault.fbi.gov/hillary-r.-clinton And the FBI Vault Twitter account has not Tweeted it out. https://twitter.com/FBIRecordsVault Nor has the FBI released a statement on it. I imagine they are freaking out right about now. I’m probably on a list for sure now and it isn’t for employment.

The document was only accessible from my archive.is link. Now that it has been shared a million or more times (lol) it is becoming searchable on Google. We have no idea if/when they were going to release it. The FBI has made no mention of the document as of yet either. I do hope that a news site does an article on that aspect of it.

[ ]

Most of the MSM attention, scant though it is, has focused on the last few pages of the latest document release (pgs 295-299) which highlight specific evidence that Hillary Clinton was passing on classified information, via email, to Sidney Blumenthal.

Watch this interview with Lou Dobbs last night and Judge Andrew Napolitano:

God help America but if the field agents in the intelligence agencies are not honest America has more problems than Nuclear arms in Iran and North Korea. These agency heads should be replaced and a thorough vetting done of replacements.

There is much more at the link and it would be easier to read the entire article.

This was an excerpt.

I agree, Ann. It is a bit above my aging mental capacity. I need the “cliff notes”.

All it really amounts to is that this govt is lying to you about practically everything and they’ve disposed of all the incriminating evidence.

Right before the election, Hellary was quickly filling the swimming pool at the house they just bought. Trump needs to find out what’s being buried.

From the article:

“...Most of the MSM attention, scant though it is, has focused on the last few pages of the latest document release (pgs 295-299) which highlight specific evidence that Hillary Clinton was passing on classified information, via email, to Sidney Blumenthal. ...”

That server was like swiss cheese & eminently hackable.

There’s no statute of limitations on espionage and treason, are there? I didn’t think there was.

Mishandling of classified is a criminal offense, regardless of intent.

This is the end of the article.

To summarize so far: The original September FBI final report, used by FBI Director Comey to justify his non finding of illegality, outlined mobile data storage devices -connected to the Clinton email set up- that were not voluntarily turned over to the FBI until evidence of their existence was determined by forensic examination. AND the FBI reporting of those devices was opaquely revealed, with details redacted, in the final report itself.
Now we fast forward to last Sunday’s mysterious 300 page FBI release.
Along with 200+ pages of “Notice to Preserve Evidence” documentation, we find numerous pages outlining actual physical evidence retrieved. Within those pages we find the following:

https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/seagate-1-clinton-email.jpg?w=640&h=334
(Page #283 FBI Investigative Release #5)

There it is.

The mysterious missing Seagate Hard Drive appears; along with dozens of more exhibits of computers, servers, lap tops, thumb drives and portable storage devices gathered by the FBI and held as physical evidence.
The FBI has these devices in their custody. They are not “missing“.
So why is this important? Again, remember the original question: “what’s the motive behind the latest release/upload“?…
A reasonable case can be made that internal elements within the FBI are intentionally showing how much evidence there is to support the case against Hillary Clinton. Evidence that was clearly never revealed as part of the original James Comey final public report.
Additionally, the questions expand: Was Comey aware of that evidence? or was Comey’s determination and decision isolated away from that evidence by internal political elements favorable to the Clintons, who hid -albeit openly- some of the investigative material?
Continuing: Are there FBI White Hats beaconing to incoming administration? ….and/or simultaneously notifying FBI Director Comey of additional knowledge they will not allow to remain hidden? ….and adding to that evidence file they release specific aspects proving Sidney Blumenthal was sent classified information to ensure the latest release cannot simply be brushed aside.
If I were a betting person, I’d say that’s the most likely scenario. If that wasn’t the motive for this release there would have been no need for redactions -of this specific information- in the original FBI final report.
Essentially, if you connect these now visible dots, this mysterious release #5 is the story behind the redactions in the original September 2nd Comey final report.
Some may argue an alternate motive might be to force the hand of Obama to grant a pardon for Secretary Clinton. However, in the larger scheme of things that’s a moot point because a pardon implies the presence of guilt.
Accepting the way this has been done, it just doesn’t look like a release to force the hand of President Obama. Again, this release is not a public records release announced by the FBI. The ‘forced pardon’ motive/approach could much more easily be undertaken with a simple phone call to a back channel at the White House.
My hunch is, this latest release could be just as much news to FBI Director Comey as it is to us.

Me too. I understand what a Seagate back-up hard drive is, and how it's used ... I use one myself (though only for backing up a laptop - I don't have a home server).

But after reading through the article I'm still not sure of the author's conclusion about the "missing" Seagate back-up hard drive. Is the author saying it was never actually missing, and that it's in the FBI's possession ... except that Comey hasn't known about it?

well, it is an FBI document that says they siezed a 1000gb Seagate external drive. Probably from hillary’s law firm.

****

Yes - we read articles saying there were laptops missing, etc.

Now we know the FBI has all this evidence!

And Comey may not have known about this leak according to the update posted in the first comment about the update.

The video with Judge Nap and Lou Dobbs reveals that the Clinton email evidence could have “new” legs for prosecution. With a new administration comes a new attorney general.
