When Hillary Clinton resigned as Secretary of State in 2013, she negotiated continuing access to classified and top-secret documents for herself and six staffers under the designation "research assistants," according to a powerful senator who notes that Clinton was later deemed "extremely careless" with such information.
The staff apparently retained access even after Clinton announced her run for president in April 2015, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The access was ostensibly granted to facilitate work on Clinton's memoir, but Grassley said he was only able to verify it after the Obama administration left the White House.
“I have repeatedly asked the State Department whether Secretary Clinton and her associates had their clearances suspended or revoked to which the Obama Administration refused to respond,” Grassley wrote in a March 30 letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
“Recently, the State Department informed the Committee that six additional Secretary Clinton staff at State were designated as her research assistants which allowed them to retain their clearances after leaving the Department,” Grassley added.

Looks like the republicans got right on it. /s
Was one of the aides named Farkas?
And that answers my question—they have done nothing. It’s really sickening the way they pretend to be doing something about it, and then pfffft. A big fat nothing.
Pretending to hold Hillary accountable just to look good politically, with the underlying knowledge that she’s going to get away with it is worse than doing nothing.
Thanks Liz for all the hard work you do and provide on various threads.
I’d like to know specifics as to what they were all accessing - I would think the State Department’s IT department would be able to provide that - could prove to be interesting, especially if they tried to delete items. Also, given she had so much on her private server, why did she need access to the State Dept system. If it was to help her with her “memoirs”, wouldn’t all of it been on her personal server, which apparently Huma and others had access to.
