FBI releases heavily redacted notes on Hillary Clinton's email servers

There are 58 pages – 14 are redacted.

THE FBI HAS released heavily redacted notes on its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State, which White House rival Donald Trump seized on to attack her fitness for office.

The 58 pages – 14 of which were entirely blacked out – showed that the FBI found no evidence that her email system was compromised but that it could not be ruled out because not all the mobile devices she used were recovered.

“The FBI did find that hostile foreign actors successfully gained access to the personal email accounts of individuals with whom Clinton was in regular contact and, in doing so, obtained emails sent to or received by Clinton on her personal account,” the notes said.

Clinton’s use of a private server has been the subject of simmering controversy as she runs for president against Trump, the Republican candidate.

The documents’ release follows the FBI’s decision in July not to prosecute Clinton for sending unsecured emails with classified material through the server, even though it found her to have been “extremely careless.”

Trump’s campaign pounced on the release, charging that the notes “reinforce her tremendously bad judgment and dishonesty.

“Clinton’s secret email server was an end run around government transparency laws that wound up jeopardizing our national security and sensitive diplomatic efforts,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said in a statement.

The notes released Friday said investigators identified 13 mobile devices that “potentially were used to send emails using Clinton’s Clintonemail.com email address.”

It said eight of the devices were Blackberries that she used while secretary of state, and the other five were devices, including four other Blackberries, that she used after leaving office.

In its summary of the interview with Clinton, the agency said she had received no instructions or directions on preserving or producing State Department records while transitioning out of her post.

Concussion

However, Clinton noted that she had suffered a concussion in December 2012, less than two months before leaving office, and then had a blood clot around New Year’s.

“Based on her doctor’s advice, she could only work at State for a few hours a day and could not recall every briefing she received,” the summary said.

Of some 30,000 emails Clinton subsequently turned over to the FBI, the agency’s director James Comey has said 110 contained classified information. Clinton had said none was classified at the time they were sent.

Another 2,000 emails were later “up-classified” to confidential.

Meanwhile, the State Department has been ordered to review for possible release nearly 15,000 additional email and documents uncovered during the FBI investigation that had not been disclosed by her lawyers.

    @FoxyBoiiYT: maybe if munster had invested more money in developing home grown players than buying in so many foreign recruits in the last 25 years they might be in a position to supply more than a handful of players to the national team

    @Sean: leinster had more imports in their final match day 23 in their heinken cup wins than ulster did in theirs or munster did in either of theirs. so there is only one team that dopes their squad to gain success and that is leinster. fund fact of the day for you.

    @FoxyBoiiYT: it’s amazing the hatred for Leinster that Munster supporters have, ye all seem to forget that Munster players dominated the Irish team years ago when management actually invested in the team. Maybe if management poured more money into their team like Leinster does they’d have more Irish team players, nobody to blame but themselves!
    Oh and before you say Leinster this, Leinster that, i’m a Leinster supporter and my two favourite players are actually on the Munster squad, so i’m not being biased.

    That was, without doubt, the single, worst 80 minutes of rugby it was ever my misfortune to witness. A total dirgefest. Ireland’s inventivness destroyed by schoolboy errors. And England lacking any inventivness at all beyond ‘might is right so pass it to the big guy’. Just appalling rugby. And the 20 min red card is a dangerous and stupid development.

    The difference in development is chalk and cheese. Junior Kpoku has started 10 games for Racing this year including 2 in the Champions Cup. Pollock has started 8 games for Northampton all while the majority of the Irish U20s are playing AIL and provincial A games

    Very poor game management from Ireland. You would have to question the coaching as the players seemed to be just going from side to side, no go forward, no inventiveness….
