State Department reopens Clinton emails probe — APNewsBreak

The most serious would be loss of security clearances, which could complicate her aides’ hopes of securing top positions on her national security team if she becomes president.

Testifying before a congressional committee Thursday, FBI Director James Comey tutored hostile Republicans quite effectively as to why Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state was not a prosecutable federal crime.

If Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, wins the White House in November she would hold the power presidents are given to release information that government agencies may consider classified. But it will also look at Clinton’s employees to determine whether they deserve sanctions as well. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters.

The State Department has since announced that they will resume the probe into Clinton’s email usage following backlash from Republicans. “That is the characteristic of all the prosecutions involving mishandling of classified information”.

Republican lawmakers on Thursday said they will now ask the FBI to investigate whether Clinton lied under oath about the presence of classified information in her emails.

The State Department implements E.O.

“To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. This includes the requirement to: (1) Ensure the protection from unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including intelligence information”. Lankford said Clinton violated State Department policies.

So, later that day, the State Department made a decision to apply one set of standards to those who worked for Clinton when she was devised and implemented the private email server scheme as Secretary of State.

The AP named three top aides – Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan – as among those whose emails are likely to be scrutinized in the State Department’s investigation.

Earlier this week Kirby noted that the State Department has “an administrative process to evaluate cases where information may have been mishandled”. If so, please provide a list of all such cases from 2009-present. They temporarily disabled security features, which left the server more vulnerable to hackers. Her actions were grossly negligent, damaged national security and put lives at risk. According to an 83-page report published by the inspector general in May, Clinton didn’t follow all of those rules.
