WASHINGTON Sixteen hours after President Trump tweeted about a right-wing media story alleging that China hacked Hillary Clintons private email server, an FBI official is refuting the report in a comment to NBC News.

What fbi official? I’m cubical bound and cannot read the article.
Well, of course they are.
Good luck getting any actual evidence from them, though.
FBI “official”. Do they mean ex-FBI? Commie, Stroke, Page, McCabe?
Do they think anyone believes them?
Hmm, Per Fox snewz:
A Chinese state-owned company reportedly hacked former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons email server, then inserted code that forwarded them a copy of virtually every email she sent or received after that — a revelation President Trump is demanding be investigated.
The Daily Caller reported that the firm operating in the D.C. area wrote code that was then embedded in the server and generated a courtesy copy for almost all her emails — which was then forwarded to the Chinese company. The code reportedly was discovered in 2015 by the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), which then warned FBI officials of the intrusion. A source briefed on the matter confirmed to Fox News the details of the Callers reporting, and said that the ICIG was so concerned by the revelation that officials drove over to the FBI to inform agents — including anti-Trump agent Peter Strzok — of the development after it was discovered via the emails’ metadata.
The source told Fox News the hack was from a Chinese company, describing it as a front for Chinese intelligence. A second source briefed on the matter told Fox News that officials outside of the FBI indicated code on the Clinton server suggested a foreign source was receiving copies of emails in real time. The hacking report caught the attention late Tuesday of President Trump, who warned that the FBI and DOJ should act or their credibility will be forever gone.
The FBI official, speaking for the bureau, also pointed to a report issued in June by the Justice Department inspector general that examined the FBI's investigation of Clinton's use of a private email server.
From that, I would assign Christopher Wray as endorsing the statement, even if he didn't personally deliver the rebuttal to NBC.
The FBI isn’t supposed to work internationally.
Right because you didn't look after the IG told Strzok about it.
FBI won’t allow Congress to have information needed for necessary oversight.
But the FBI leaks this kind of dishonest story to the media.
Ok. Lets subpoena all documents related to the Clinton private server. And lets see what there is. Oh, and let’s forensically analyze the server and the 700,000 emails that Comey and Strzok testified under oath were examined but never were.
And lets put Hillary Clinton under oath and let her testify about her private server.
And lets subpoena the NYPD officers who examined Huma’s server when it was seized.
You have to be an absolute idiot to believe that Russia, China, and others didn’t hack those emails.
I no longer trust anything the FBI says or does.
No name given in the article.
None.
The ICIG report found a rogue piece of software on HRCs server that routinely and simply copied some Chinese company everything HRC sent. There isn’t the slightest question about it.
Wasn’t hacked ?????????????
You mean she granted them access ?
Wonder how much she charged.
The same FBI that employed Peter Strzok, James Comey, Robert Mueller and J. Edgar Hoover?
