FBI Said to Recover Personal E-Mails From Hillary Clinton Server

Del Quentin Wilber

Sept. 22 2015

 

(Bloomberg) -- The FBI has recovered personal and work- related e-mails from the private computer server used by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, according to a person familiar with the investigation. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s success at salvaging personal e-mails that Clinton said had been deleted raises the possibility that the Democratic presidential candidate’s correspondence eventually could become public. The disclosure of such e-mails would likely fan the controversy over Clinton’s use of a private e-mail system for official business. The FBI is investigating how and why classified information ended up on Clinton’s server. The probe probably will take at least several more months, according to the person, who described the matter on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing and deals with sensitive information.

Recover E-Mails

 

Outside computer specialists have said the FBI has the technical capability to recover deleted e-mails. The exact number of personal e-mails recovered by the FBI could not be learned. Once the e-mails have been extracted, a group of agents has been separating personal correspondence and passing along work- related messages to agents leading the investigation, the person said. Since the existence of the e-mail system became public in March, Clinton has seen her standing in polls slide, particularly in regards to questions about her trustworthiness. She also has been heavily criticized by congressional Republicans who have raised questions over whether the private server jeopardized the security of sensitive data.

Clinton disputes report of new email discrepancy

Jennifer Jacobs

7:21 a.m. CDT September 23, 2015

 

Another apparent discrepancy has arisen in what Hillary Clinton has said about her emails. When The Des Moines Register asked her about the latest twist in the private server saga on Tuesday, she said she had no new answers.

 

(Snip)

 

After the editorial board meeting, a Register reporter asked Clinton if she could explain the discrepancy between her characterization of why she turned over the emails and the State Department's. "I don't know that. I can't answer that," Clinton answered. "All I know is that they sent the same letter to everybody. That's my understanding."

 

(Snip)

 

The Register told Clinton that the Post was reporting that State Department officials contacted her in the summer of 2014 — a sign that officials had been caught off guard upon discovering she had used a private server to conduct government business. That was at least three months before the agency asked Clinton and three of her predecessors to provide their e-mails, the Post reported.

 

"You're telling me something I don't know," Clinton said. "All I know is what I have said. What I have said is it was allowed. The State Department has confirmed that. The same letter went to, as far as I know, my predecessors, and I'm the one who said, 'Hey, I'll be glad to help.'

State Department Hands Over ‘New’ Hillary Clinton E-mails to Benghazi Panel
Foggy Bottom uncovers additional messages related to the oft-investigated attack. Why didn’t they find the e-mails sooner?

Tim Mak

Sept. 25 2015

 

The State Department has said over and over again that it turned over all of Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi-related emails to the committee investigating the 2012 attack.

 

Turns out, that wasn’t quite the case. Foggy Bottom mistakenly failed to produce a “small number” of those emails, a senior State Department official told The Daily Beast. “Following our second review of former Secretary Clinton’s emails… the Department is producing a small number of emails relating to Benghazi,” the official said. The official could not say precisely how many Benghazi-related Clinton emails the State Department missed in its original review, but characterized it as a “handful.”

 

The original review through 55,000 pages of Hillary Clinton emails involved hard copies of the emails, which had to be hand-sorted on desks in the State Department. These documents have since been digitized, and in recent weeks the State Department did a second, electronic review of the emails in its possession—and found a number of Benghazi-related emails that it did not previously produce. The State Department informed the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Friday that it would deliver to them approximately 925 new Hillary Clinton emails relating to Benghazi and Libya, among them a small number of Benghazi-related emails that it had missed.

 

These 925 new emails fall into three broad categories:

Officials: More work emails from Clinton's private account
BRADLEY KLAPPER
Sep. 25, 2015 7:06 PM EDT

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has discovered a chain of emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to turn over when she provided what she said was the full record of work-related correspondence as secretary of state, officials told The Associated Press Friday, adding to the growing questions related to the Democratic presidential front-runner's unusual usage of a private email account and server while in government.

 

The messages were exchanged with retired Gen. David Petraeus when he headed the military's U.S. Central Command, responsible for running the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They began before Clinton entered office and continued into her first days at the State Department. They largely pertained to personnel matters and don't appear to deal with highly classified material, officials said, but their existence challenges Clinton's claim that she has handed over the entirety of her work emails from the account.

 

Republicans have raised questions about thousands of emails that she has deleted on grounds that they were private in nature, as well as other messages that have surfaced independently of Clinton and the State Department. Speaking of her emails on CBS' "Face the Nation" this week, Clinton said, "We provided all of them." But the FBI and several congressional committees are investigating.

Clinton Aide Shared Classified Information With Foundation, Email Shows
Cheryl Mills sent information marked ‘confidential’ to Clinton Foundation in 2012

Alana Goodman

September 28, 2015

 

A member of Hillary Clinton’s staff at the Department of State emailed classified information about the government in Congo to a staffer at the Clinton Foundation in 2012, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

 

Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department, sent the email to the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director, Amitabh Desai, on July 12, 2012. The message, which was originally obtained by the group Citizens United through a public records request, is partially redacted because it includes “foreign government information” that has been classified as “Confidential” by the State Department.

 

Although the information was not marked classified by the State Department until this past summer, intelligence sources tell the Free Beacon that it would have been classified at the time Mills sent it because “foreign government information” is considered classified from inception. The message could add to concerns from congressional and FBI investigators about whether former Secretary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while at the State Department.

 

The email, which discussed the relationship between the governments in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, was originally drafted by Johnnie Carson, the State Department’s assistant secretary for African affairs, who sent it to Mills’ State Department email address.

Hillary Supporters All Have Suspiciously Identical Feelings About Meet the Press Interview

Alex Griswold

September 28th, 2015

 

In a massive coincidence, every single Hillary Clinton staffer and surrogate who watched the Democratic presidential candidates Meet the Press interview had the exact same thoughts, sometimes using identical language.

 

(Snip)

 

Now at first, it may appear that these responses were all coordinated in some fashion. However, it would be against the law for campaign officials to coordinate with a pro-Clinton Super PAC director like Brad Woodhouse. So clearly its a coincidence that his tweet was identical to Clinton staffer Karen Finneys.

Clinton Wrecked State Department’s Post-9/11 Digital Information Security

Richard Pollock
09/27/2015

 

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to conduct official diplomatic business created many national security problems, but they may pale by comparison with the wreckage she left behind in her department’s main digital information security office.

 

Harold W. Geisel, the State Department’s acting Inspector General, issued eight scathing audits and investigation reports during Clinton’s tenure, repeatedly warning about worsening problems and growing security weaknesses within the Bureau of Information Resource Management, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.

 

Geisel’s critical comments about the deficiencies throughout IRM carry additional weight since he was not considered an “independent” IG. Watchdog groups noted Geisel had served as a U.S. Ambassador for Hillary’s husband, President Clinton, and had never been confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

 

In fact, President Obama did not nominate an IG to the State Department during Clinton’s entire term. It was only in September 2013 that the Senate finally confirmed Geisel’s successor, Steve Linick, who currently occupies the the post.

Madeleine Albright: There Would Have Been No Private Email Systems At My State Department
Matt Vespa

Sep 29, 2015

 

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright appeared in Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, where she said that a private email system from one of her deputies would not be approved (via Politico):

 

 

Asked whether she would be concerned if this were not Clinton, Albright said that other State Department officials had done the same thing.

 

"I think that our government, generally, has to catch up with a variety of ways of using technology these days," she added.

 

Pressed, however, on whether she would approve her deputy secretary of state to run a private email server, Albright was firm.

 

"I would not, no," she said.

 

 

Then again, Albright added that Clinton had “turned things over,” she couldn't find any "security breaches" in the emails, and that Clinton has explained herself, so we should move onto other issues. The last part is laughable. She lied about classified information being sent through that server, and her prevaricating on things as simple as a real apology over this mess will continue to make this a subject of debate among voters and the press.

Hillary Clinton Email: 6,300 New Pages From Private Account Released

Arlette Saenz

Sep 30, 2015, 3:45 PM ET

 

The State Department today released about 6,300 pages of email from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private account, the fifth batch of such documents released since May.

 

The newly released messages, which were posted on the State Department's Freedom of Information Act website, date from 2010 to 2011. The new production, which contains 3,849 additional new documents, accounts for 12 percent of the 52,000 pages in the State Department's possession, bringing the total amount of Clinton's email released to more than 37 percent.

 

(Snip)

 

The batch released today included at least two pieces of email relating to long-time Clinton aide Huma Abedin's husband, Rep. Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress after posting lewd photos on social media. As the scandal brewed in June 2011, Cheryl Mills, Clinton's chief of staff at the State Department, forwarded Clinton articles about Weiner on at least two occasions.

 

(Snip)

 

In response to the State Department's document release today, Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, criticized Clinton's use of a private email server.

 

“With the number of emails deemed classified doubling to more than four hundred, this latest court-ordered release shows Hillary Clinton put our national security in more jeopardy than previously known,” Preibus said. “Hillary Clinton said at the outset of her email scandal there was no classified material on her secret server, and this release is another reminder she has mislead the American people from day one. Hillary Clinton’s reckless attempt to skirt transparency laws and her dishonest response to public inquiries underscore why she can’t be trusted in the White House.”

Clinton Aide Expressed Concern About Drawing Attention To Personal Email Accounts

Chuck Ross

5:29 PM 09/30/2015

 

A top Hillary Clinton aide wrote in one of the emails released by the State Department on Wednesday that it would be unwise to advertise that agency officials were using off-the-books email accounts because it might attract hackers.

 

Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff, sent the June 4, 2011 email to Clinton on her personal email account, HDR22@clintonemail.com.

 

Mills was responding to an email sent by a former State Department official, Ann-Marie Slaughter, who complained that too many State Department officials were using non-official email accounts. That email, too, was sent to Clinton’s email address, which was hosted on her private email server.

 

Slaughter suggested to Clinton, Mills, and two other Clinton aides, Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan, that the State Department needed more federal funding to beef up its technology systems because top-ranking officials were resorting to using their personal email accounts.

Emails show Russia-linked hackers tried at least 5 times to break into Clinton private server

BRADLEY KLAPPER, JACK GILLUM and STEPHEN BRAUN, Associated Press

Sept. 30, 2015 | 8:36 p.m. EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia-linked hackers tried at least five times to pry into Hillary Rodham Clinton's private email account while she was secretary of state, emails released Wednesday show. It is unclear if she clicked on any attachment and exposed her account.

 

Clinton received the infected emails, disguised as speeding tickets from New York, over four hours early the morning of Aug. 3, 2011. The emails instructed recipients to print the attached tickets. Opening the attachment would have allowed hackers to take over control of a victim's computer.

 

Security researchers who analyzed the malicious software in September 2011 said that infected computers would transmit information from victims to at least three server computers overseas, including one in Russia. That doesn't necessarily mean Russian intelligence or citizens were responsible.

VALERIE JARRETT THROWS HILLARY UNDER THE BUS ON EMAIL SCANDAL

 

Obama White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett threw Hillary Clinton under the bus Wednesday at the Washington Ideas Forum, where she told interviewer Andrea Mitchell that the White House gave Clinton guidance forbidding her from using private email.

 

“Yes, there were. Yeah, absolutely,” Jarrett said when asked if the White House sent guidance to Cabinet secretaries about not using private email. “Obviously we want to make sure that we preserve all government records, and so there was guidance given that government business should be done on government emails and that if you did use a private email that it should be turned over.”

 

“That’s what she’s doing, as you said as recently as a few minutes ago,” Jarrett added. “And I think she has been asked about this multiple times, including by you Andrea. And I think she said, Look to do it again I probably made a mistake and I wouldn’t do it, and she’s working hard to comply with making sure that everything is pursuant to the Federal Records Act.”

VALERIE JARRETT THROWS HILLARY UNDER THE BUS ON EMAIL SCANDAL

To say there is no love lost between the Obama White House (and the Obama's in general) and the Clinton's is a vast understatement. Let's cast our minds back to the 2008 election cycle. You could say The Obama campaign out Clintoned the Clintons.

Hillary Knew the Dangers of Private E-Mail but Didn’t Let That Stop Her
Shannen W. Coffin

October 1, 2015

 

The use of personal e-mail was pervasive among Hillary Clinton’s senior staff, at least according to an e-mail released yesterday by the State Department in response to Freedom of Information Act requests. That e-mail shows that Hillary and her close associates were well aware of the security risks presented by the use of private e-mail to conduct official business. They were also concerned that advertising their use of private e-mail for official business would draw hackers like sharks to chum. What was Hillary’s answer? To order the rank and file not to use private e-mail – all the while continuing to conduct her own business on her home-brew server.

 

In late May 2011, hundreds of personal Gmail accounts were subject to a major phishing scheme that apparently originated in China. The FBI investigated. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a public statement addressing the massive security breach, which apparently included some senior government officials’ private e-mail. She called the allegations “very serious” and claimed that the U.S. government “take them seriously; we’re looking into them.”

 

Behind the scenes, Anne Marie Slaughter, Clinton’s director of policy planning, sensed an opportunity to hit Congress up for more money. She e-mailed Clinton on her Hillary.com private e-mail account, copying State’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills. Slaughter suggested that someone “inside or outside” the Department of State write an op-ed to underscore the need for further funds to update outdated State Department technology. Slaughter complained that “State’s technology is so antiquated that NO ONE uses a State-issued laptop and even high officials routinely end up using their home email accounts to be able to get their work done quickly and effectively.” More funds would allow the State Department to “significantly upgrade our technology.”

 

(Snip)

 

 

Private e-mail for me, but not for thee. Shortly after news of the Hillary Clinton private e-mail server broke in March, the head of the American Foreign Service Association wrote Secretary of State John Kerry to ask if there was “in practice or by law, any difference” in how the State Department’s internal “standards apply to and are enforced for non-career appointees,” which would include the political appointees of the State Department, “as opposed to career employees.” It may be the most insightful question anyone has asked in all of this mess.
