I think I'm beginning to see the FBI's angle on this.  While misappropriation of national security information is the more damaging claim, there are emails going back and forth from Obama on this, and I suspect many others in the Administration.  After all, it was an open secret that Hillary did not use a .gov email address.  Thus, politically it becomes impossible to prosecute her because everyone else in the chain has a self-preservation motive not to let the prosecution move forward.  No way Obama's minions allow anyone to damage him in the process.  But, if the FBI goes after public corruption linked to the Clinton Foundation, that blame falls on Hillary alone.  Now the FBI can play on internal differences between the Clinton and Obama factions and maybe gets someone at DOJ to sign off on a prosecution.

They have withheld a small number of emails to or from Obama on his executive privilege. Seven, I think.  None of them contained classified information.

Of course not.  

And that is why I'm not holding my breath about HRC being indicted, much less this rumored "FBI revolt" if she's not indicted.  

I'll believe it when it happens.

The deleted emails the FBI recovered are supposed to be Hillary's personal emails. She claims she turned all her work related emails over to the State dept. and most of those emails that were turned over have been released with the classified information redacted. Well except for the last 7000 or so that are delayed by State but going to be released in some way, a small number that were fully redacted due to classified information, and a handful of email exchanges between Obama and Clinton that were withheld due to executive privilege.

Also, there hasn't been any leaks from the investigation.  The emails are being released in response to a FOIA lawsuit.  The fact that there is classified information only came out because the emails were to be released.  The only thing we really know about the investigation is that it has expanded into other areas.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/09/federal-judge-rejects-state-dept-request-for-clinton-email-delay/
U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras on Tuesday rejected the State Department’s request for a one-month extension in the deadline to release the rest of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

The Washington Examiner notes that Contreras was willing to give the State Department some leeway, asking it to “publish what they could by February 18 at the latest."

The Hill portrays Judge Contreras as “scolding” the Administration for failing to meet the original deadline. “Government has put me between a rock and a hard place, which is a position I don’t want to be in,” he said.
...
Contreras ordered the Administration to explain in writing, by the end of the day on Wednesday, why it can’t release the emails that have already completed security review, and by the end of the week the Administration must provide “a detailed explanation of how this problem arose, what cause it and why it wasn’t noticed until just recently.”

Official: Top Clinton aides also handled top secret intel on server

EXCLUSIVE: At least a dozen email accounts handled the top secret intelligence that was found on Hillary Clintons server and recently deemed too damaging for national security to release, a U.S. government official close to the review told Fox News.

The official said the accounts include not only Clintons but those of top aides  including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan and Philippe Reines  as well as State Department Under Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy and others.

A second source not authorized to speak on the record said the number of accounts involved could be as high as 30 and reflects how the intelligence was broadly shared, replied to, and copied to individuals using the unsecured server.

The State Department recently confirmed that the messages in question include the most sensitive kind of intelligence. On Jan. 29, Fox News first reported that some emails on Clintons server were too damaging to release in any form. The State Department subsequently announced that 22 top secret emails were being withheld in full; these were the messages being handled by more than a dozen accounts.

Kennedy recently told the House Benghazi Select Committee that he knew about Clinton's personal email account from the beginning, but did not understand the "scope," thinking it was for reaching husband Bill Clinton and their daughter Chelsea -- and not for the exclusive handling of State Department business. Kennedy's testimony appears to conflict with emails released through the Freedom of Information Act that show he routinely sent and received government business from the Clinton account.

Fox News has asked the State Department to comment on the email accounts that shared the highly classified information, and how it was that Kennedy did not understand the scope of Clintons personal email being used for government business.

A spokesman for the intelligence community inspector general, which has been reviewing the classification of the Clinton server emails, had no comment.

What will be interesting is who these folks are. If they're State or direct advisiors for DoS work she probably has an argument that the server was a matter of convenience, providing agility to her work as sec state. She probably has a precedent defense on some level.

If these folks were Clinton Foundation cronies then I think she's pretty well cooked. It's obvoius then that this system was set up to bypass FOIA so that she could conduct foundation business close to full time as Secratary.

considering her past criminal  behavior, considering her tendency to see everything that she does as fair game for her own enrichment, those that had access to her server from State more than likely wore two hats, members of her inner circle, criminal compatriots,  and her advisers and assistants at State. In other words, in her mind, everything was more than Kosher.

You're right and right after I typed that I thought there's no way she has distinctly different people performing functions. In fact the DoS job was most likely just another way for her to enrich herself.  In her mind it's "fuck this country, how do I get rich"?

Interesting.....the rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper:

Clinton Foundation received subpoena from State Department investigators

Investigators with the State Department issued a subpoena to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation last fall seeking documents about the charity’s projects that may have required approval from the federal government during Hillary Clinton’s term as secretary of state, according to people familiar with the subpoena and written correspondence about it.

The subpoena also asked for records related to Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide who for six months in 2012 was employed simultaneously by the State Department, the foundation, Clinton’s personal office, and a private consulting firm with ties to the Clintons.

The full scope and status of the inquiry, conducted by the State Department’s inspector general, were not clear from the material correspondence reviewed by The Washington Post.

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/269060-state-dept-to-release-550-clinton-emails-over-weekend-under-court



The State Department will release 550 emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server this weekend after pressure from a federal judge who earlier this week appeared visibly annoyed at its delayed efforts.

In a court filing late Wednesday night, State Department official Eric Stein told the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that department staffers have made “significant progress” on preparing the emails for release.

As a result, the department will now be able to release the roughly 550 emails — roughly 14 percent of the 3,700 remaining Clinton emails — on Saturday, in the middle of the Presidents Day holiday weekend. The department had previously said it could not release the emails until late next week.

Releasing the emails on Saturday “provides time to address any additional problems that may arise,” Stein wrote, “as have occurred in the past at this final stage in the process.”

The Obama administration is already more than a week behind schedule on the emails, which were all supposed to have been released by Jan. 29.

But last month, in a surprise announcement shortly ahead of the Iowa caucuses, the department said the last of Clinton’s emails would not be made public until the end of February.

I saw a news report tonight that I believe mentioned more than 11 people had accounts on her server.



What will be interesting is who these folks are. If they're State or direct advisiors for DoS work she probably has an argument that the server was a matter of convenience, providing agility to her work as sec state. She probably has a precedent defense on some level.

If these folks were Clinton Foundation cronies then I think she's pretty well cooked. It's obvoius then that this system was set up to bypass FOIA so that she could conduct foundation business close to full time as Secratary.


Wouldn't fly. From what I have seen so far the private accounts belong to her inner circle and senior staff. There is no justification for using those accounts for official business nor any loophole in policy that allows for such a provision.

A lot of people think Comey has a lot of integrity. I assume that's being tested.

FBI did leak about the SB terrorists. They have also been playing this out, when they could have long ago come out with "nothing to see here".

There are also the intelligence agencies, which seem to be pissed.

This is what gives me hope.  If anyone was going to stop this, they wouldn't be letting it ramp up.  The cat is out of the bag.

They have withheld a small number of emails to or from Obama on his executive privilege. Seven, I think.  None of them contained classified information.

"If I were Hillary or her legal team, I would be most concerned by recent press reports that the FBI is investigating not just compromises of classified information in her emails, but possible connections to political corruption," said Schindler. "Reports of 'pay for play,' with then-Secretary of State Clinton arranging or enabling sweetheart deals with foreign entities for her husband and the Clinton Global Initiative, have circulated for years. If the FBI can put flesh on those allegations, Hillary will be in a world of legal and political trouble which may sink her presidential ambitions. We'll know about that well before November."


I think I'm beginning to see the FBI's angle on this.  While misappropriation of national security information is the more damaging claim, there are emails going back and forth from Obama on this, and I suspect many others in the Administration.  After all, it was an open secret that Hillary did not use a .gov email address.  Thus, politically it becomes impossible to prosecute her because everyone else in the chain has a self-preservation motive not to let the prosecution move forward.  No way Obama's minions allow anyone to damage him in the process.  But, if the FBI goes after public corruption linked to the Clinton Foundation, that blame falls on Hillary alone.  Now the FBI can play on internal differences between the Clinton and Obama factions and maybe gets someone at DOJ to sign off on a prosecution.


They have withheld a small number of emails to or from Obama on his executive privilege. Seven, I think.  None of them contained classified information.

But if it was 18 minutes missing from a recording there would be Hell to pay. If it's not classified then there is no reason to withhold them. In fact FOIA says they should available if requested.

considering her past criminal behavior, considering her tendency to see everything that she does as fair game for her own enrichment, those that had access to her server from State more than likely wore two hats, members of her inner circle, criminal compatriots, and her advisers and assistants at State. In other words, in her mind, everything was more than Kosher.


You're right and right after I typed that I thought there's no way she has distinctly different people performing functions. In fact the DoS job was most likely just another way for her to enrich herself. In her mind it's "fuck this country, how do I get rich"?

there is no question that this is the reason that she wanted, and bargained/negotiated for the office of Sec of State.

I'm very surprised that the top aids to the SoS don't have a top secret clearance.

Eta,   I know you must have a need to know, byt the article said that she lacked the clearance.

FBI is taking their time setting up the case.  Hillary is a really big fish to catch so they don't want to mess this up. Lets hope




and can indict Clinton’s top aides and trade less punishment for testimony against her.

Just because they have a TS does not mean they have access to a specific SAP.

Even if you have a clearance, you may not be cleared for a particular piece of information, and you're required to report if you encounter classified information that is not being stored/handled properly...

Judge to State Dept: finish Clinton email release by Feb. 29


NEW YORK (Reuters) - A judge ordered the U.S. State Department on Thursday to complete by Feb. 29 its public release of the work emails of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton from her time as secretary of state.

Clinton's decision to use a private email server in her New York home for work between 2009 and 2013 is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which took the server and other computer equipment belonging to Clinton last year.

Thursday's order by a federal judge all but guarantees more news reports about the email controversy as Americans in the early voting states of Nevada and South Carolina choose the Democratic Party's nominee on Feb. 20 and Feb. 27.....

And:

In his order, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in the District of Columbia also told the department to release at least 550 more emails by Saturday and to release others on Feb. 19 and Feb. 26.
