Emails in Hillary Clinton probe dealt with planned drone strikes

And the release of the president’s video endorsement of his former secretary of state came moments after his Thursday morning meeting with Sanders in the White House – a meeting that did not sway Sanders from his stated determination to remain in the race through the Democratic National Convention.

The CIA has declined to comment.

In 2011, some Pakistani officials pushed back against the U.S. drone assassination program, leading the U.S. State Department to ask the Central Intelligence Agency to be more “judicious” about the timing of drone attacks. The official, who did not have the authority to publicly address the matter, spoke on condition of anonymity and would not elaborate. VICE News filed the lawsuit against the FBI in an attempt to see what was in Clinton’s email server, along with the correspondence between the Bureau and the State department.

“Well, I will repeat what I said”.

The record shows the Clinton Foundation received large contributions from several business magnates who soon thereafter received Clinton State Department clearance for controversial business deals.

FBI Director James Comey said last month he doesn’t know what “security inquiry” means – adding, “we’re conducting an investigation … that’s what we do”.

The AP discovered past year that Clinton’s private server was directly connected to the internet in ways that made it more vulnerable to hackers.

Investigators have raised concerns that Clinton’s personal server was less secure than State Department systems, and a recent report by the State Department inspector general found that Clinton had broken government rules by using a private email server without approval, undermining Clinton’s earlier defenses of her emails.

The messages were generally time-sensitive, with the State Department having a narrow window to give input before strikes were carried out. The U.S. ambassador to Pakistan sent out a short message regarding a planned drone strike that was then picked up by Clinton’s top advisers. However, Hillary deleted approximately 32,000 emails, claiming them to be private. Baker later detailed another possible “instance where Clinton’s server might have been hacked”.

Earnest said that the “career prosecutors understand that they have job to do, and that that job they are supposed to do – which is to follow the facts, to pursue the evidence to a logical conclusion”.
