The FBI has begun looking into the security of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private e-mail setup, contacting in the past week a Denver-based technology firm that helped manage the unusual system, according to two government officials.
Also last week, the FBI contacted Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, with questions about the security of a thumb drive in his possession that contains copies of work e-mails Clinton sent during her time as secretary of state.
The FBI’s interest in Clinton’s e-mail system comes after the intelligence community’s inspector general referred the issue to the Justice Department in July. Intelligence officials expressed concern that some sensitive information was not in the government’s possession and could be “compromised.” The referral did not accuse Clinton of any wrongdoing, and the two officials said Tuesday that the FBI was not targeting her.
Kendall confirmed the contact, saying: “The government is seeking assurance about the storage of those materials. We are actively cooperating.”
A lawyer for the Denver company, Platte River Networks, declined to comment, as did multiple Justice Department officials.
The inquiries are bringing to light new information about Clinton’s use of the system and the lengths she went to install a private channel of communication outside government control — a setup that has emerged as a major issue in her presidential campaign.
For instance, the server installed in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home as she was preparing to take office as secretary of state was originally used by her first campaign for the presidency, in 2008, according to two people briefed on the setup. A staffer who was on the payroll of her political action committee set it up in her home, replacing a server that Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton, had been using in the house.

What a joke. FBI has been worthless so far in any investigation why now. Nothing will touch this former communists Queen.
Would that be the OBAMA FBI?? HAHA
"......helped manage the unusual illegal system....."
Imagine the MSM spasms if this had been done by a Republican...
The old Clinton Crime Family rides again!
They will find nothing.
Count on it.
I smell a DoJ Coverup commencing.
Newspeak only works in one direction.
JUST NOW????
NOW?
I seriously hate our government.
If this were a Republican, the doors would have already been kicked down at 3AM, the dog shot, boots on necks and every electronic item in the house right down to the toaster would have been confiscated with the first whiff of a private server.
“The FBI looked into it and found that I had done nothing wrong, now let’s discuss things that are important to America like Global Warming, or do you just want to be paranoid?”
A True Clown Posse....
They have already admitted to multiple actions that are clear-cut violations of the Federal Records Act.
Uh. I already “looked into” it.
It wasn’t secure.
Next?
