The FBI examined 81 Clinton email chains, determining that they included classified information relating to the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon, NSA, and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency or NGA. In other words, Hillary compromised classified materials representing the full range of American espionage: human intelligence or HUMINT from CIA, signals intelligence or SIGINT from NSA, and imagery intelligence or IMINT from NGA. Of those 81 classified email chains, the FBI assessed that 37 of them included Secret information while eight included Top Secret information. Worse, seven email chains included Special Access Program or SAP information, which is tightly protected...

FBI Director James B. Comey said in a memo to the bureau's employees that the decision not to charge Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of state was "not a cliff-hanger" and, "despite all the chest beating by people no longer in government, there really wasn't a prosecutable case." The director's assessment was notable for its bluntness, though its assertions were not new. [Snip] He said he had "no patience for suggestions that we conducted ourselves as anything but what we are - honest, competent, and independent. "Those suggesting that we are 'political' or...

BOOM! Navy Veteran Just DESTROYED HILLARY CLINTON at Forum: “I Would Have Been Prosecuted and Imprisoned” (VIDEO) Navy veteran Lt. John Lester knocked Hillary Clinton out of the race tonight with the first question at the MSNBC forum. The first question came from a veteran who asked Hillary Clinton about her reckless handling of classified material. John Lester: As a Naval flight officer I held the top secret sensitive compartmentalized information clearance. And that provided me access with materials and information highly sensitive to our war fighting capabilities. Had I communicated this information not following the prescribed protocols I would...

Clinton: I Did Exactly What I Should Have Done With Classified Information BY: Chandler Gill September 7, 2016 8:37 pm Hillary Clinton said that she did exactly what she should have done with classified information during Wednesday night’s Commander in Chief Forum on MSNBC after being confronted by a veteran who said she “corrupted our national security.” “So, I did exactly what I should have done and I take it very seriously,” she said. “Always have, always will.” To prompt this, Lt. John Lester shared his background with the crowd. He said that he also had to handle very sensitive...

It’s the controversy that won’t go away for Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. It only became worse when the FBI released its notes and documents from its year long investigation that showed aides destroyed her BlackBerry devices, no one knows the location of the Archive laptop (which came from the Clinton Foundation), and Hillary couldn’t remember hardly anything. So here is a refresher article on what we do know from this long process. The FBI interviewed Hillary for 3.5 hours on July 2 at its headquarters in DC. Three days later, Comey announced his shocking decision not to recommend charges...

Two of Hillary Clinton’s top aides at the State Department — Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin — told the FBI that they were unaware of the former secretary of state’s use of a private email server. However, emails they exchanged with one another tell a different story, The Daily Caller reported. Mills served as Clinton’s chief of staff, and Abedin as deputy chief of staff during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. The report the FBI released Friday indicated that most of the State Department employees claimed they “had no knowledge” that Clinton was using a private server, which she...

WIkileaks founder Julian Assange told Sean Hannity tonight his organization will release several batches of Hillary Clinton emails in the coming weeks. Assange said Wikileaks may release the first batch next week. Julian Assange also told Sean Wikileaks has thousands of cables Hillary Clinton signed with a “c” that designated it as classified confidential. Julian Assange: I just want to say one thing, in the FBI report released Friday I agree with your analysis. It is very strange that it was released Friday afternoon on a Labor weekend. I do think it brings up questions to what sort of game...

The key aspect to Julian Assange’s interview with Sean Hannity last night was Assange reminding everyone of the original WikiLeaks Cable scandal in 2010, and also pointing out that Hillary Clinton was the originating official of cables marked (c) “classified”. Hillary Clinton authored the content of the cables (as described); and she herself has originating autonomy to designate material as “classified” or “confidential”. Assange is essentially reminding everyone that Secretary Clinton assigned that designation personally. It is ridiculous for Secretary Clinton to state she doesn’t know what the “(c)” designation is, she used it herself.

WIkileaks founder Julian Assange told Sean Hannity tonight his organization will release several batches of Hillary Clinton emails in the coming weeks. Assange said Wikileaks may release the first batch next week. Julian Assange: The first batch is reasonably soon. We’re quite confident on it now. We might put out some teasers. I don’t want to promise anything because we want to see how the formatting goes. We might put out some teasers as early as next week.

As Americans were checking out of the news cycle in advance of the holiday weekend on Friday afternoon, the FBI tore a page from the bipartisan political damage control playbook and dumped a trove of documents pertaining to the Bureau's investigation into the email scandal that has engulfed Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. That criminal probe resulted in a strong rebuke from FBI Director James Comey -- who laid bare Mrs. Clinton's lies and cast her conduct as "extremely careless" and the "definition" of negligence. It did not, however, end in a criminal referral for prosecution, an outcome that has been heavily second-guessed and challenged...

September 6, 2016 Former NSA officer John Schindler reports on a devastating fact NOT mentioned in the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton conducting State Department business on an unsecure homebrew email server. From the Observer: [Sidney] Blumenthal’s email read exactly like classified NSA reporting, as anybody acquainted with our SIGINT would immediately recognize. As one veteran agency official told me back in January, Blumenthal’s email was NSA information with “at least 90 percent confidence.” Which was no coincidence, since an NSA investigation subsequently determined that Blumenthal’s Sudan assessment was derived from their reporting—in some cases verbatim. As I reported in...

In old politics it would be obvious that the FBI was trying to help Hillary Clinton by releasing the type of devastating report it did on the Friday of this long holiday weekend. In old politics the Democrats could bank on few people seeing it or hearing about it and Hillary would dodge a bullet. In old politics by Tuesday the “Move along folks nothing to see here” mantra would kick in and Democrats could breathe a sigh of relief. The problem Hillary and the Democrats have is that we are no longer playing the game in old politics. Donald...

The smart money might be on both Sometimes I feel like I’m flogging a skeleton, telling you day after day what a gigantic liar Hillary is. Even when the things we learn make it clear the reality is worse than anyone previously realized, it’s almost as if people have become desensitized to it. Sure, she’s a total liar, but we’ve known that for years. So what? But it’s more than just that. It’s also the extent to which others who should have been holding her accountable bent over backwards to avoid doing so. Specifically I’m thinking about the director of...

As David and Rich have already noted, the FBI-302 report of the interview of Hillary Clinton, along with the other notes of investigation released today, make for mind boggling reading. Most bracing is the fact that Mrs. Clinton had her server wiped clean sometime between March 25 and 31, 2015, only three weeks after the New York Times on March 3 broke the story of the server system’s existence. David notes that, at the same time the Democrats’ Janus-faced presidential nominee was outwardly taking the position that she “want[ed] the public to see my email,” she was having her minions...

Donald Trump is floating a possible new nickname for his Democratic opponent — and it's one he's already used on a previous political rival. "Lyin' Hillary Clinton told the FBI that she did not know the "C" markings on documents stood for CLASSIFIED. How can this be happening?" Trump tweeted Sunday night, referencing FBI findings released on Friday. The nickname hearkens back to the Republican primary, when Trump repeatedly referred to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas as "Lyin' Ted." Trump's usual moniker for Clinton is "Crooked Hillary," though he has switched it up on occasion, calling the former US secretary...

The incomplete records of the Hillary Clinton email investigation released by the FBI raise questions about the conduct not only of Clinton but of her top aides and the staffers working under their direction. Perhaps the most serious is whether the Clinton team destroyed evidence which they were under legal order to save and produce to congressional investigators. Out of a massive investigation, the FBI has released just two documents: a heavily-redacted version of its summary report and a writeup — the so-called 302 — from agents' July 2 interview with Clinton. The rest, including reports from interviews with other...

It has come out that Cheryl Mills orchestrated the e-mail contortions we have seen, she has been there before. Watch the testimony from 2000, it's all good she comes on about 18 mins in.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine on Sunday defended Hillary Clinton against criticism over her handling of classified information as secretary of state, saying she was unaware of the sensitivity of some information she exchanged over email because it had been "improperly labeled." In July, the Federal Bureau of Investigation rebuked Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, for her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, saying she was "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information. According to records released by the FBI on Friday, Clinton told the bureau's investigators...
