(CNSNews.com) - The FBI says its investigation identified “13 total mobile devices” associated with Hillary Clinton's “two known” phone numbers, both in the D.C. area code 212.
All 13 of those devices “potentially were used to send emails” through Clinton's personal email server, but the FBI was unable to acquire or examine any of those devices, at least two of which apparently were smashed by a hammer.
Here's how the FBI describes Clinton's need to use 13 mobile devices, most of them BlackBerrys, one after another:
Monica Hanley, a former Clinton aide, often purchased replacement BlackBerry devices for Clinton during her tenure at State. Hanley recalled purchasing most of the BlackBerry devices for Clinton from AT&T stores located in the Washington, D.C., area.
(The FBI noted that Justin Cooper, a former aide to Bill Clinton, was usually responsible for setting up the new devices — transferring data from the old device to the new one and syncing the new device to the Clinton's private email server.)
Abedin, (redacted) and Hanley also assisted Clinton with setting up any new devices. According to Abedin, it was not uncommon for Clinton to use a new BlackBerry for a few days and then immediately switch it out for an older version with which she was more familiar.
Clinton stated that when her BlackBerry device malfunctioned, her aides would assist her in obtaining a new BlackBerry, and, after moving to a new device, her old SIM cards were disposed of by her aides.
Abedin and Hanley indicated the whereabouts of Clinton's devices would frequently become unknown when she transitioned to a new device.
Cooper did recall two instances where he destroyed Clinton's old mobile devices by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer.
The FBI stated in its report that one of the “investigative limitations” was its “inability to obtain all mobile devices and various computer components associated with Clinton's personal email systems.”
This “prevented the FBI from “conclusively determining whether the classified information transmitted and stored on Clinton's personal email systems was compromised via cyber intrusion or other means.”
Here's the excerpt from page 9 of the FBI report:

It gets tiresome repeating that, but it is absolutely true, so it must be repeated.
And where are all the W keyboard letters they stole in 2001?
They were just wiped clean with a hammer.
“Like with a cloth?”
That Hillary is sure a jokester.
I don’t know why everybody is making such a “to-do” over smashing the Blackberries with a hammer. That’s a standard, cheap way to dispose of old devices. The real scandal is all the lies that the real, discovered, emails and interviews show.
What happened to all of the devices still missing? (and still vulnerable)
Nixon cut a little tape and Hillary destroys the recorders and burns the building down
It’s the combination. This is just another small bit of circumstantial evidence supporting the reality of corruption.
If I had no fear about my phones, I’d just turn them in for proper disposal through the IT branch.
Isn’t that called “tampering with or destroying evidence”?
She didn’t lose them at all. They were given to her closest confidantes.
There were two uses for these lost phones.
One was the DRAFT EMAIL technique. This is where you create an email, but don’t send it (save it as a draft).
Those who have YOUR LOST phone can then read that draft. The email is never ‘sent’, which makes it more difficult to find and use for evidence. You simply delete the draft after reading it.
The other purpose was for her confidantes to receive her government emails (on those lost phones (Blackberries) and then do a copy and paste, stripping off the security classifications, then sending that to her personal account on her private server.
Remember, even though they claimed these phones were ‘lost’, somehow several were returned which had been smashed with a hammer. If you have it to return, it’s not lost. The media is simply trying to avoid having the public understand what was really going on.
I think the government records law says that the conversations of government officials do not belong to them but to the government.
I'm not buying this explanation at all. 13 times she switched out a new BB device for an "older version"? BS. Wonder what the REAL reason was for all the phones?
The to do is the dramatic visual it presents. Simply wiping a phone of data by pressing a few buttons is less so. Think Hollywood. Violence is dramatic.
Just an innocent old lady with a bad cough, a habit of falling down, an inability to stay awake, on blood thinners for clots, with the worst record of corruption in the history of the US presidency, and with a coupla hundred million bucks on a 170,000 dollar salary and a foundation flush with 2 billion in cash.
just a little ole lady.....
When does she hang?
And Hillary was a lawyer(intern?) working on the Nixon case.
There is absolutely no way she did not know this stuff. She cut her legal teeth on this kind of stuff.
Read between the lines here folks. Malfunctioned my butt.
And we are supposed to believe that her aides destroyed the SIM cards. Baloney.
My earlier post explains all this.
One deal use.
Set up a deal with, for example China, to “recover” classified info off her server for cash, and then she’d destroy the phone.
One time use is a criminal’s favorite way to phone.
Destruction of Federal Property is a felony.
If what the FBI says is true, then why did she keep asking for NEW Blackberries if she liked the OLD one ? Did she not remember she didn't like the new ones, each time (like 13 times) she asked for a NEW one ?
When Judge Roy Bean comes back to town.
