(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:

Destruction of Evidence is a Crime
I wonder how many of these wandered over to the Clinton Foundation and were given out as free 'gifts' for $xxxxxxxx amounts of "donations".
No one in their right mind would. But we’re not talking about anyone in their right mind.
See post #9.
It is possible, but highly unlikely. These phones were used for the 'DRAFT EMAIL' trick, and so that her aides could receive her classified emails, then rewrite the pertinent info (without the security headers) back into her private email.
“Burners”
At the VA we are required to turn in laptops and communications devices when we no longer need them or use them. If usable they will be wiped clean (not with a cloth) and issued again. If they are obsolete or damaged they will be destroyed.
We are forbidden to use personal computers or communication devices that contain any patient information or job related subjects. We can not do it, period. They will fire you for doing it.
Too bad you’re not a Clinton.
Then you could own the VA and thumb your nose at their protections for patients.
Tune up Fred Hellerman and the Weavers:
If I had a hammer, I’d hammer on devices,
I’d hammer on devices, all over this land,
I’d hammer out destruction, I’d hammer out
forgettery, I’d hammer out erasure,
all over this land. I can’t recall
that they had hammers at all,
I’d hammer on devices, all over this land.
I bet the hammer was stolen from a contractor...
“Aide Says He Smashed 2 With Hammer”
Sometimes that is not good enough. Apparently they have not heard of data recovery. ;-)
“And Hillary was a lawyer(intern?) working on the Nixon case.”
And was fired from that case for.....LYING!
Used by General Petraeus and his girl friend.
The last I heard, Jimmy Hoffa is working in a 7-eleven in Detroit. Didn’t you hear that? ;-)
It’s called Obstruction of Justice.
Is “Lyin’” her first name or middle name?
Interesting technique. Thanks.
Meanwhile there’s a young Navy kid who inadvertently included a few classified portions of a sub in some photos he took on board - wasn’t intending to photograph them, never shared them with anyone - and then he lost his phone including the pictures - he’s doing a year in prison for security violation while Hillary is supported by half the voters for Prez and the FBI and Justice Department can find nothing criminal she did wrong - that alone should make seventy-five percent of the people show up to vote to kick the establishment out.....
We don’t like to believe that some are above the law, but it is true that some are above the law.
What is worse — and this isn’t commonly pointed out — is that some are above even being in jeopardy or subject to real inquiry or investigation before the law.
Some have a “get out of jail free” card.
Some have a “no convictions permitted” card
And some have a “no serious inquiries allowed” card.
She’s even above the elite. What in the world is she?
