People are still talking about Hillary Clinton’s private email server
Indian-origin Republican presidential aspirant Bobby Jindal attacked Hillary Clinton, saying the Democratic frontrunner is just a single email away from prison after she signed a sworn declaration that she has turned in all of her government emails.
Clinton’s campaign believes there are no emails from her State Department tenure on the server, since it was wiped clean after she turned over her work-related emails to the State Department, the aide said.
Clinton has previously said she did not handle classified information through her private email account, but it was learned Tuesday that two emails classified as “Top Secret” have been identified – her lawyers responded to the bombshell report by announcing that they would surrender the server.
The Justice Department has said the FBI began investigating after the inspector general who oversees the U.S. intelligence agencies, I. Charles McCullough III, formally notified them of his concern that there was classified information not in the government’s control.
In an effort to subdue a growing investigation into her private emails, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has willingly surrendered her email server – along with a thumb drive to investigators. She turned over the others to the State Department, which is reviewing and releasing them on a monthly basis.
The US Government forbids the sending of classified information outside unsecured networks because it could harm national security if intercepted. The State Department disputes that the emails were classified at that time.
Although she surrendered the emails, some skeptics say her email system is in a “grey area of the law”, meaning it is questionable and subject to further investigation as her decision to create her own system for “convenience” is allowing national security in the communications sector to be susceptible to hackers and foreign intelligence.
Hillary Clinton decided to hand over the server and the thumb drive to the authorities after the FBI began investigating the matter.
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign is assuring supporters that the Democratic presidential candidate did not send any classified materials over her personal email server.
Hillary Clinton will give up the personal email server she used while Secretary of State. The referral did not allege any criminal wrongdoing, and Kendall, her attorney, has said authorities want assurances that the emails continue to be properly stored and that he was “actively cooperating”.
State Department employees are trained on how to recognize and handle that kind of highly sensitive information – and are warned not to discuss it outside classified areas.
Grassley stated the inspector basic of the intelligence group had reported the brand new particulars concerning the greater classification to Congress on Tuesday. What’s more, it’s clear that, like Clinton, he decided which emails to release and which to hold back.
“If so, they would have had to come in with all the appropriate classification markings”, the official said.
The inspectors general didn’t specify what type of classified data was on the emails. But she said the hardware is “now blank” and no longer contains any useful information.
