The FBI agent who was fired from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation team for sending anti-Donald Trump text messages conducted the interviews with two Hillary Clinton aides accused of giving false statements about what they knew of the former secretary of state’s private email server. Neither of the Clinton associates, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, faced legal consequences for their misleading statements, which they made in interviews last year with former FBI section chief Peter Strzok.

Shapiro: Hillary's email scandal takes down the FBI By: Ben Shapiro | September 07, 2016 For months Americans wondered whether the FBI, led by Director James Comey, would take down the most corrupt woman in the history of American politics, Hillary Clinton. As it turns out, Hillary Clinton took down the FBI. According to new documents from the FBI's investigation of Clinton, the agency was fully aware that Clinton lied when she said she set up a private server in order to utilize one Blackberry device -- she used 13 mobile devices and two phone numbers. The FBI knew that...

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...

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...

NOTE: Hillary has pretended she was never instructed on how to handle sensitive material. Unbelievably, she was reading her emails on the 8th floor balcony of the State Department. She was not allowed to use her mobile devices inside. The balcony offered hackers the perfect location for hacking. The following excerpt is from her book, HARD CHOICES. When we traveled to sensitive places like Russia, we often received warnings from Department security officials to leave our BlackBerrys, laptops — anything that communicated with the outside world — on the plane, with their batteries removed to prevent foreign intelligence services from...

Clinton has had health problems so bad that she has had memory lapses, relapses and collapses since her 2012 concussion ...I can’t RECALL, I can’t REMEMBER, I’LL TAKE THE FIFTH. There you have it, folks. What Hillary Clinton is in effect saying as she is piggybacked by Barack Obama to the White House, and providing cover for all the lies she will continue to tell any time caught redhanded after election: ‘I can‘t RECALL, I can’t REMEMBER. ‘I ‘LL TAKE The FIFTH’. Special: With lies as convenient as Al Gore’s in his film An Inconvenient Truth, Clinton dropped her premeditated...

Hillary Clinton told FBI agents in July that she thought the classified “C” markings on emails recovered from her private emails were just a way to put paragraphs in alphabetical order. FBI Director James Comey had said his agents pulled three emails marked classified off her server system in the course of their year-long investigation. “When asked what the parenthetical ‘C’ meant before a paragraph … Clinton stated she did not know and could only speculate it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order,” the FBI wrote in notes from its interview with her. The notes indicate Clinton told agents...

State Department spokesman John Kirby could not confirm Wednesday whether Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi-related emails, recovered by the FBI, were duplicates of emails the department had previously released. A reporter asked Kirby to comment on the number of Clinton emails that were related to Benghazi from when she was secretary of state and whether they contained classified information. Kirby told the reporter that the State Department had identified approximately 30 Benghazi-related emails that are “potentially responsive.” He emphasized that the department has not confirmed if the documents are responsive to Benghazi requests made through the Freedom of Information Act. “At this...

The FBI on Friday released a detailed report on its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, including the summary of its three-hour interview with the former secretary of State. The report totals 58 pages, although large sections have been redacted. In July, FBI Director James Comey announced that he did not recommend charging Clinton with willfully mishandling classified information. While Comey called the former secretary of State “extremely careless” for using the server, he repeatedly said that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.” The documents have been a hot commodity on Capitol Hill, where...

Though it was not their primary mission, FBI agents who investigated Hillary Clinton's email collected significant evidence suggesting she and her team violated federal record-keeping laws, including persisting to use a private Blackberry and server to conduct State Department business after being warned they posed legal and security risks, government sources tell Circa.The evidence was compelling enough to convince FBI Director James Comey that the Clinton team had not complied with record-keeping laws and to cause at least one witness to raise their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during an investigative interview, the sources said. In public, the FBI recommended...

A number of Hillary Clinton’s private emails were erased weeks after The New York Times published a story reporting on her use of a private email server while secretary of State, according to notes from the FBI's investigation released on Friday. [Snip] The deletion took place between March 25 and March 31, the FBI learned in a May 3 interview. The name of the person who deleted the emails was redacted from the FBI’s notes. "In a follow-up FBI interview on May 3, 2016, ------ Indicated he believed he had an 'oh s--t' moment and sometime between March 25-31, 2015...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew that she was not allowed to use mobile devices in her office — so she would walk onto the 8th floor balcony of the State Department building to check her email messages, new FBI documents reveal. Clinton’s office was located in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), where mobile devices were not allowed. “According to [Huma] Abedin, Clinton primarily used her personal BlackBerry or personal iPad for checking emails, and she left the SCIF to do so, often visiting State’s eighth floor balcony,” the FBI investigation noted. The 8th floor is at the...

Below is the list of things Clinton could not recall in the FBI interview: * When she received security clearance * Being briefed on how to handle classified material * How many times she used her authority to designate items classified * Any briefing on how to handle very top-secret "Special Access Program" material * How to select a target for a drone strike * How the data from her mobile devices was destroyed when she switched devices * The number of times her staff was given a secure phone * Why she didn’t get a secure Blackberry * Receiving...

Hillary Clinton suggested to FBI investigators in a July interview that she had little understanding of classified information when she served as secretary of state. Clinton told FBI agents she could not remember ever receiving any training for how to preserve federal records or treat classified material. "Clinton could not give an example of how classification of a document was determined," the FBI wrote in its notes. "Clinton did not recall receiving any emails she thought should not be on an unclassified system," the FBI wrote.

Election 2016: The FBI report on its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of emails, which it released publicly on Friday, might not contain any smoking guns, but it does reveal the lengths to which Clinton will go to deny responsibility or cover up an obvious lie, even if it makes her look like an ignorant fool. Clinton's attempts to avoid responsibility became particularly strained when the topic turned to classified material she said never showed up on her email server. The report is replete with so many different attempts to duck blame that we thought it would be helpful to...

A laptop containing a copy, or “archive,” of the emails on Hillary Clinton’s private server was apparently lost—in the postal mail—according to an FBI report released Friday. Along with it, a thumb drive that also contained an archive of Clinton’s emails has been lost and is not in the FBI’s possession. The Donald Trump campaign has already called for Clinton to be “locked up” for her carelessness handling sensitive information. The missing laptop and thumb drive raise a new possibility that Clinton’s emails could have been obtained by people for whom they weren’t intended. The FBI director has already said...
