There was some kind of burglary when the Clintons were in power that resulted in FBI files being stolen. I don’t remember any details, but we thought at the time THAT was how she got everyone’s testicles in an iron clad lockbox (as Rush used to say).
From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_FBI_files_controversy
Craig Livingstone, director of the White House’s Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission. The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors.
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes
not from Wikipedia...
IIRC, The files “went missing” and were later “discovered” in the WH. Also IIRC, they were discovered IN THE FAMLY QUARTERS. Not in some office or something. Seriously??? No one bought that story then, and no one’s buying it now.
Lefty sites use words like “improperly”, “inadvertently”, accidentally”.
Sites that are less lefty than Wiki say the files were ILLEGALLY obtained.
From NYT (!) : “A White House assistant who discovered them said she found them on a table in a library known as the Book Room, to which very few people other than the First Family have access.” It also says that HRC fingerprints were all over the files. Literal fingerprints. https://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/05/us/hillary-clinton-s-fingerprints-among-those-found-on-papers.html

Yes you are right, ichabod1. Those are the 900 raw FBI files referred to. They stole them once Bill got into office. And yes, that did a lot of testicle lockboxing. But under discussion here are the legendary dirt files kept by J Edgar Hoover. Supposedly they were destroyed, but there is no proof of it, and much has been conjectured over who might have them. The current conjecture we are playing with has to do with mo’s thought that Watergate as a break in was about sex-related materials. That leads one to consider could that have been the JEH files under contention? And did they somehow come into Hillary’s and Bill’s hands? Unknown.
Greeneyes in a previous post has offered a completely different scenario about what the break in was about at the Watergate. Also very plausible!
LOL!
Grab a stick and start whittlin’!
