(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:

Smashed with a hammer? In the old days (before the FBI went corrupt and political) that would be called ‘destroying evidence’... or even obstruction of justice.
Not to be to picky but I say granny “C”, not clinon, as in Granny Classified.
Stevens died, Hillary lied.
Might as well be.
What a group of collective dummies that think they’ve voting for “American Idol” or some other boy-band.
The delusion is strong with all of them. You can read it on their faces.
Among the many dodgy things about all this:
1) Wouldn’t you think the FBI would have persisted until they knew what happened to ALL the old Blackberries — not just 2 allegedly smashed ones? Some specific person ended up with each one. Did they bother to ask?
2) The notion that all the 11 unhammered devices were simply “lost” is contradicted by the story line of her frequently replacing new units with older models. The FBI didn’t notice that? (I’ll admit that this detail does corroborate the FBI’s storyline that Hillary is dim-witted.)
3) Did Hillary/staff report the loss of communications devices used for national security to anyone at the time? The intel community needs to know when a compromise like that occurs. Failure to report would be a major transgression, and an indication of dangerously poor judgment.
4) I have never set up a Blackberry, but if simply going from one device to another model, wouldn’t you just swap the “used” sim chip into the device you want to end up with, before using the “new” one? Why generate multiple sim chips with secret data on them?
If your cellphone quit working, and you got a new one, they would take your SIM card and put it into your new phone. Correct ?
Remember, first they claimed they lost 13 phones/devices. If you lose them, how can you remove and dispose of the SIM card in them ?
If you lose them, how can you smash the phones with a hammer and return them ?
I knew as a mosquito wing private in the Army about security and destruction of government property and the harsh penalties upon me for any infraction. EVERYBODY knows high crimes were perpetrated by Clinton and her minions. The question is will the rule of law survive the damage done. I used to have respect for the FBI. They are now just another corrupt governmental entity. For this retarded electorate to want to elect Clinton is pure insanity.
Well, the witch did say she 'was sorry' AND that she 'wouldn't do it again'. And isn't the DC standard that of a spoiled 7 year old child?
OUT in flyover if you steal money saying 'I'm sorry' doesn't work. Corrupt 'elites' forgive each other... criminals in nice clothing - speaking in 'measured tones'. Liars every damn one of 'em. Who bought their lies?
The corrupt butt-kissers in the press bought it, the political FBI bought, and the so-called 'elites' (money grubbers on the take) bought it.
So who are YOU drypowder to complain?
““Like with a cloth?””
No, a F’ing HAMMER !

OUT in flyover if a person steals money or destroys evidence - saying 'I'm sorry' doesn't work. Corrupt 'elites' forgive each other... criminals in nice clothing - speaking in 'measured tones' 'forgive' each other....
Liars every damn one of 'em. Who bought their lies?
Corrupt or silly butt-kissers in the press bought it men who should know better - men lie David Ignatius - the political types like Comey's FBI bought, and the so-called 'elites' (money grubbers on the take) bought it.
So who are YOU drypowder to complain?
Oh - and Joe Scarborough - do YOU really believe a 'measured tone' is enough to excuse crimes? And can those of us in flyover try that?

I read an article about a laptop of hers being lost in the mail. Seriously.
Therein lies the crux of the SIM issue.
You destroy the SIM to keep the contact and data from prying eyes, and eliminates accountability.
We ALL need to keep repeating it... the press has sold out to one party.
When the coin of the realm is 'information' a bribe comes in the form of good story leads.
here is part of the story: http://www.wired.com/1994/01/clinton-phone/
Who in their right mind puts a laptop in a large envelope and mails it?
Thanks, DBrow
It’s funny that she can’t even smash with a hammer without having an aide do it.
Wonder if she can get smashed without someone helping her?
