ederal law enforcement officials not only knew about, but may also have played a role in managing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private server located in her New York mansion in as early as 2011, new documents show.
A Secret Service agent told the FBI that the Clintons also enlisted Secret Service resources to do work for the Clinton Foundation. A spokesman for the foundation denied using government resources and suggested that a Secret Service agent who recounted investigating a hack on the foundation’s server must have confused it with Clinton’s home-brew server.
If the foundation spokesman’s assertion is correct, it suggests information may have been stolen when the home-brew server was attacked, which Clinton has denied.
As the FBI summarized the testimony of a Secret Service agent whose name was redacted, the agent “was assigned to the protective detail of William Clinton from [redacted] to [redacted]. Because of [his] information technology (IT) skills, he was asked to do network assessments and troubleshoot IT issues at the Clinton Foundation… [he] assisted the Clinton Foundation in a case related to theft of information on the Clinton Foundation information systems.”
Guess that explains why “secret” is in their name.

This is absolutely disgusting.
This is going to be fun. Will Secret Service agents allow themselves to be tossed under Hillary’s bus, or will they decide to drop her in the grease? Wait and see.
So can we ‘trust’ Trump’s safety to this corrupt agency ??!?
I wonder if those were the same SS agents that Hillary routinely told them to F***OFF!! every time they dared so much as look her in the eye.
Do you ever wonder, during this age of everyone not using the full name of anything for anything, anymore, why this agency has never been acronimmized?
Plain Talk About Hillary Clinton’s National Security Breaches
WEB Commentary Editor
Author: Bob Webster
Date: November 1, 2016
Despite “110 emails in 52 chains” with classified information found by the FBI, Hillary Clinton has the audacity to claim there exists “no evidence of wrongdoing”!
The recent revelation of 650,000 email messages discovered on Huma Abedin’s computer are not really needed to prosecute and convict Hillary Rodham Clinton on charges of espionage against the United States, a crime punishable by imprisonment in a federal penitentiary. If charged and convicted on each count documented by Director James Comey in July, Clinton could spend the rest of her life in prison. That seems a fitting reward for Clinton’s multiple incidents of callous disregard for the national security of the United States.
As a retired career employee of the Department of Defense, I am personally well acquainted with the enormous importance placed on protection of classified information.

Every federal employee with a security clearance is required to attend annual security training. Such regular training ensures employees are well aware of the importance of protecting classified information. Employees with clearance to handle classified information are made fully aware of the penalties for failure to safeguard such information. Depending on the severity of the breach, penalties may include dismissal and imprisonment for failure to uphold their responsibility to safeguard classified material. Breaches of this responsibility are particularly egregious when the exposure created could result in material falling into the hands of foreign intelligence-gathering operations, regardless of whether material actually falls into unauthorized hands.
Some background on Classified material and US Code defining acts that constitute “espionage” against the Untied States (for a complete description of classification levels, read Classification Levels):
TOP SECRET - The Top Secret classification level “shall be applied to information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security.”
SECRET - The Secret classification level “shall be applied to information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage to the national security.”
CONFIDENTIAL - The Confidential classification level “shall be applied to information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause damage to the national security.”
[Note: Emphasis added by author]
Recall FBI Director James Comey’s July 5, 2016 statement itemizing 110 emails in 52 chains that criminally exposed every level of classified national security information to unauthorized access in clear violation of provisions of U.S. Code, Title 18:
“From the group of 30,000 emails returned [by Hillary Clinton] to the State Department in 2014, 110 emails in 52 email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent. Thirty-six of those chains contained Secret information at the time, and eight [chains] contained Confidential information at the time.”
Compare the Department of Justice’s (DoJ) failure to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her egregious and deliberate exposure of the most highly sensitive national security information over a period of years to the zealous prosecution of U. S. Navy sailor Kristian Saucier of Arlington, Vermont for a single inadvertant violation that was confined to the contents of his camera.
Saucier was sentenced to one year in jail for taking pictures inside a 40-year-old nuclear submarine in an area containing classified equipment, a fact unknown to Saucier at the time and which action was not exposed to any other individual. Saucier was sentenced to one year in jail, six months of home confinement, and five years of probation. His mother, a federal employee, lost her job because of his actions.
On the other hand, the DoJ declined to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her repeated egregious acts of espionage against the United States, her destruction of official records, and her many false statements to the FBI and the American people.

There was nothing “private” about her server. It should be referred to as a “personal” server, not a private one.
The Clintons are experts at corrupting people.
They ask you to do them a little favor. They are in a hurry. They are very charming and polite about it. You’re kind of flattered that they asked you.
So the person does the little favor.
Maybe they even reward them for the favor.
And then they’re caught.
They’ve broken the law.
Then the Clintons want more and bigger favors.
Everything and everyone the Clintons come into contact with get slimed.
Boy, that Bill has for decades used the cops to fulfill his every need. Just having him back in the White House means he will be doing it again. Asking the SS to get him phone numbers of women in the crowd, etc.
Sordid. Thats the word I have been trying to think of..SORDID.
Who are these Secret Service guys? They are so diligent in helping to guard against exposure of her disabling medical problems -!imagine what they know. I am thinking of how they gathered around her on 9/11 to prevent the public from seeing her true self. It was like clockwork so they have seen these events many times. They are as corrupt as she is.
I really don’t care what anybody says at this point, if it isn’t obvious to them that the purpose of all this cloak and dagger private server stuff was to conduct unethical business and profit from shady practices then they are blind!
The Clintons should have been Locked Up a long time ago.
This is just a never ending Cat and Mouse game that provides an excuse for these so called Professional people to have a job.
America has become the JOKE of the World. Show me a Government agency that isn’t corrupt?
Republicans of the past 8 years in office are the SCUM of Humanity because they stood by and let this happen.
That’s my take on the Garbage Can called the Federal Government.
Congress changed the law in the 90s to shorten the Secret Service protection for presidents and their families to ten years after the president leaves office. But they exempted the then-current and all former presidents. George W. Bush will be exposed in two more years (unless covered by his dad’s protection). But currently the Secret Service is stuck with the Clintons for life. I suppose that even includes if they go to prison...
Despicable.
