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.

Bottom line, not only did she intentially hide emails for political purposes, this set up was non compliant.
If it is comliant, then why isn’t the other tens of thousands of government employees using private servers....I already know the answer - becuase it is NOT ALLOWED.
Exactly!
Maybe in a comic book.. not in reality.
Hillary is NOT subservient to ANYONE.. especially the Obumbler.
Don't look for me to take that bet.
Biden running is a very strong reality.
Hillary will FALL for one reason or another.
They have already figured out she has far too much baggage to win.
There are more sinister threat potentials. Get her data, blackmail her, supporter her for President and Obama call's the shots from Chicago.☺
Maybe in a comic book.. not in reality.
It is well-documented governments use information to blackmail and control people at the highest levels. Look it up. If they find Clinton data or find Clinton's systems were used to copy, transfer, destroy or store data illegally, that can be used against her. Hillary Clinton being owned and in the White House would be an extremely valuable asset.
Using your own words; "Don't discount it. We're living in an "anything is possible" political world at the moment."☺
Let me assure you that the FBI is doing a CRIMINAL investigation. What else would it be . Here is a statute ( one of several they are investigating),18 USC 1519:
Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
Here is the FBI “mission statement “
:As an intelligence-driven and a threat-focused national security organization with both intelligence and law enforcement responsibilities, the mission of the FBI is to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, ...
KLet’s get off this denial. They just picked up the thumbd drive from her lawyer!! He must also be concerned. I know DOJ will not prosecute but TRUMP WILL!!
You get it.
Don't kid yourself. She will NOT go quietly.. if she does go, which remains to be seen.
That's a disingenuous comment.
Read the words more closely. I said "There are more sinister threat potentials".
What else is it that you're seeking?
Here's a tip, Hillary will never testify against Obama or blame him for Benghazi. That won't ever happen for numerous reasons.

Sounds like you desperately want to be "right"...
Where did you see "Desperation" in the above comment?
There is no desperation in my comment slick.
Hey.. I SAID we'll let you be "right"
Who's we? You got a frog in your pocket?
I don't take well to juvenile condescending evasive comments. Perhaps that's why you now seem angry while insisting I am somehow "Desperate" to be right. I simply pointed out there are possibly even bigger potential threats.
What does YOUR response comment begin to TELL YOU about YOURSELF?
I'd say I'm sensing a lot of "self-importance" on your end.
One more time just for you. Where did you see "Desperation" in my comment to you in #45?
You could've let go when I said, I would let you be "right."
You might have said, "thanks.. I always like to be right" and ended it there.
I'll end it now. Go interact with someone else.
So, the only desperation in #45 you saw were not from my words or my comment, but in your own head. Got it.☺ Please understand I can't control your imagination even when it's wrong.
You could've let go when I said, I would let you be "right."
But that's not what you stated.
In #48 you stated,"Sounds like you desperately want to be right"... so we'll let you, for the time being.
This is what I was talking about when I told you I do not take well to juvenile condescending evasive comments.
I'll end it now. Go interact with someone else.
Sounds like a comment an angry female would use. Next time don't be so cocky, condescending and evasive.
Any desperation you saw was in your own head. Not from my comments. Don't blame me.
