FBI agents have confirmed that they recovered records from Hillary Clinton's private server and other electronic devices, but won't reveal any details about those records because that information is being treated as "evidence" in a "pending investigation."
"[A]ll of the materials retrieved from any electronic equipment obtained from former Secretary Clinton for the investigation are evidence, potential evidence, or information that has not yet been assessed for evidentiary value," the FBI said in documents filed with a federal court Monday.
While media reports last year suggested the law enforcement agency had some success pulling potentially deleted emails off Clinton's private server, which it seized in August, the FBI had previously shied away from confirming the existence of recovered records. It also hadn't revealed any details about what was being considered "evidence" in its high-profile investigation.
"Due to the sensitive nature of the investigation, the number of FBI personnel involved in and having knowledge of the pending investigation is limited," the FBI said in the filings.
The FBI argued that disclosing even the number of records it has pulled off Clinton's server, thumb drive or other unnamed devices "could reasonably lead to the public identification and compromising of potential witnesses, as well as defensive actions to conceal activities, elude detection, and/or suppress or fabricate evidence."
The details were revealed through filings in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Vice News against the FBI in search of records related to its investigation of Clinton's private email use.
While the FBI asked a federal judge to allow it to keep information about its probe secret, including a pair of emails sent between FBI and State Department officials, the law enforcement agency did reveal its investigation is focused on a "security referral made for counterintelligence purposes" by the inspector general of the intelligence community.
That detail was the latest to undermine Clinton's repeated argument that the investigation is a routine "security review," and suggests the FBI is looking into the specific mishandling of classified intelligence.
In March 2015, Clinton claimed she had deleted roughly 30,000 emails off her private server because she had deemed them personal in nature. Her legal team submitted another 30,000 "work-related" messages to the State Department in December 2014.
But the FBI's most recent admission may cast further doubt on her claim that every government communication was included in the batch of records she surrendered in 2014.
Months ago Jennifer Griffin reported from an inside source that the FBI recovered “nearly all” of Hillary’s deleted emails. Looks like that was accurate.
You are right it was Catherine Herridge not Jennifer Griffin as I stated in #41.
You may think it’s funny but that was CNN’s analysis.
Not the least likely scenario. They are evil and evil is not dumb, just evil.
Get REAL!!! ALL people care about today is Who,s on American Idol and MORE BABIES to be killed....and oh yes, MAKE the CEO pay ALL THIER MONEY IN TAXES!!
Brilliant
I really thought you were joking. It’s incredible. We live in craziest times. Day is night and up is down.
So we've now heard that Hillary herself deleted 30K emails from her personal server and printed out 30K redacted work emails on hard copy. Over a couple of months.
But the breaking news is that it will take 75 years to "go through them all".
Hillary did it in a couple of weeks. What's this 75 years nonsense?
Now we need to defeat the witch in order to see those records. If she wins, those records are bye-bye.
Impossible.
All the shirt house lawyers have been writing that the FBI wasn’t even looking at Hillary.
Come on shirt house lawyers, write some more before Hillary goes to prison and you lose your paycheck.
Imagine that...
“”The FBI argued that disclosing even the number of records it has pulled off Clinton’s server, thumb drive or other unnamed devices “could reasonably lead to the public identification and compromising of potential witnesses, as well as defensive actions to conceal activities, elude detection, and/or suppress or fabricate evidence.””
Or avoid dead bodies turning up in strange places.
Honestly - I take the FBI statement as the first encouraging word we’ve had about this whole mess. They know their “culprit” well, I’d say. It’s a whole crime syndicate they’re dealing with and they’re all experienced in shading the truth, “concealing activities, eluding detection and/or suppressing or fabricating evidence”. They are pros!!!
How did you get my picture? ;>
There are also TPP emails.
Here it is, come indict it!!
They aren’t talking about Hillary’s emails. They are zeroed in on Mills, Sullivan and Kennedy emails. I would think if they are bombarded with that many FOIA requests, that a good housecleaning is in order in every stinkin’ agency in DC.
“”Given the Department’s current [Freedom of Information Act] (FOIA) workload and the complexity of these documents, it can process about 500 pages a month, meaning it would take approximately 16-and-2/3 years to complete the review of the Mills documents, 33-and-1/3 years to finish the review of the Sullivan documents, and 25 years to wrap up the review of the Kennedy documents — or 75 years in total,” the State Department said in the filing.””
Comey was asked what a security review was and he responded that he had no idea what it was and that what the FBI does is investigates.
“”At some point during the election when even the powers that be in the Dem party finally fully recognize that Trump is going to kick their asses, will get rid of Hitlary somehow, and then Fauxcahontis will rise like the phoenix from Hitlary’s ashes, and the media will organize the fastest meteoric rise of a candidate of all time””
Supposedly the word is Harry Reid is working overtime to make sure no one from the Senate is named as VP on the dem ticket from any state that has a Republican governor to avoid a Republican being appointed as a replacement..He wants to see the Senate take back the majority, of course! He’s going to be gone after January 2017....
I heard Napolitano today say that since it is expected that Obama will publicly endorse Clinton soon, there may be a demand for an independent counsel to take over the investigation for the reason that Obama’s DOJ will have a conflict of interest.
It this case goes to an independent counsel, nothing will see the light of day for years. I also don’t think that Comey would be very keen on that because of the amount of time and labor the FBI has expended on this case.
