Clinton to Hand Server to Federal Bureau of Investigation

Clinton had to this point refused demands from Republican critics to turn over the server to a third party, with attorney David Kendall telling the House committee investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that “there is no basis to support the proposed third-party review of the server“. The thumb drive, meanwhile, has been turned over.

The move comes amid a federal investigation into the security of the server and whether there was classified information in the emails.

That posture is no longer operable, it seems: Will the FBI’s digital forensics team be able to retrieve the more than 32,000 emails Team Clinton reportedly wiped from the server?

Republican, the speaker, also released a statement saying that’s “mishandling of classified information must be fully investigated”.

“The revelation that Secretary Clinton exclusively used private email for official public business, and the multitude of issues that emanated from her decision, including this most recent one, demonstrates what can happen when Congress and those equally committed to exposing the truth, doggedly pursue facts and follow them”, he said in a statement.

Hillary Clinton has directed her staff to give the Department of Justice the private email server that she used during her tenure as Secretary of State, a spokesman said. “I look forward to the Federal Bureau of Investigation answering my questions so the American people can be assured that everything has been done to protect our national security interests and hold accountable anyone who broke the rules”.

As agreed by the parties at the July 31, 2015 status hearing, the Government shall produce a copy of the letters sent by the State Department to Mrs. Hillary Clinton, Ms. Huma Abedin and Ms. Cheryl Mills regarding the collection of government records in their possession.

“All this means is that Hillary Clinton, in the face of FBI scrutiny, has decided she has run out of options”.

There is no evidence she used encryption to shield the emails or her personal server from foreign intelligence services or other potentially prying eyes. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said two emails that traversed Clinton’s personal system were deemed “Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information” – a rating that is among the government’s highest classifications.

“The Intelligence Community has recommended that portions of two of the four emails identified by the Intelligence Community’s Inspector General should be upgraded to the Top Secret level”. The CBS anchor concluded with the caveat that “the e-mails were not classified at the time they were created.”

McCullough said in the past that “none of the emails we reviewed had classification or dissemination markings”, but that some “should have been handled as classified, appropriately marked, and transmitted via a secure network”.
