Crooked Hillary is slapped with more classified intel violations. Where are the indictments?
“omg,” top Clinton aide Huma Abedin wrote to Justin Cooper, the technology pro overseeing Clinton’s private home-based email servers, when he told her shortly after midnight on Jan. 9, 2011, that “someone was trying to hack us.”
Wow! The State Department said it has identified 30 Security Incidents involving current or former employees and their handling of Crooked Hillary Clinton’s Emails. @FoxNews This is really big. Never admitted before. Highly Classified Material. Will the Dems investigate this?

State Department identifies 23 violations, ‘multiple security incidents’ concerning Clinton emails
By Gregg Re, Catherine Herridge | Fox News June 18, 2019:
The State Department revealed Monday that it has identified “multiple security incidents” involving current or former employees’ handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails, and that 23 “violations” and seven “infractions” have been issued as part of the department’s ongoing investigation.
The information came in a letter to Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who is responsible for overseeing the security review.
“To this point, the Department has assessed culpability to 15 individuals, some of whom were culpable in multiple security incidents,” Mary Elizabeth Taylor, the State Department’s Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Legislative Affairs, wrote to Grassley. “DS has issued 23 violations and 7 infractions incidents. … This number will likely change as the review progresses.”
President Trump highlighted the finding in a tweet overnight, questioning whether Democrats would investigate and saying, “This is really big.”
The State Department, calling the matter “serious,” said it expected to conclude the investigation by Sept. 1. The department acknowledged that the probe was unusually time-consuming.
“Given the volume of emails provided to the Department from former Secretary Clinton’s private email server, the Department’s process has been necessarily more complicated and complex requiring a significant dedication of time and resources,” Taylor wrote.
The ‘Outnumbered’ panel weighs in on new polling of Trump and Biden in a head to head 2020 match up.
“In every instance in which the Department found an individual to be culpable of a valid security violation or three or more infractions, the Department forwarded the outcome to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security’s Office of Personnel Security and Suitability (DS/PSS), to be placed in the individuals’ official security file,” Taylor wrote. “All valid security incidents are reviewed by DS and taken into account every time an individual’s eligibility for access to classified information is considered.
“This referral occurred whether or not the individual was currently employed with the Department of State and such security files are kept indefinitely,” Taylor added. “Consistent with the referral policy, for individuals who were still employed with the Department at the time of adjudication, the Department referred all valid security violations or multiple infractions to the Bureau of Human Resources.”
The State Department declined to release the names of the employees, consistent with its procedures. The department promised another update once its review is completed.
Clinton’s private email use has remained in the spotlight, as the DOJ looks into potential misconduct in the handling of federal authorities’ surveillance and intelligence operations in 2016. Then-FBI Director James Comey said in 2016 that Clinton’s handling of classified information was “extremely careless” — remarks that were watered down from their original draft — but that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring charges.
It emerged earlier this year that then-FBI general counsel James Baker testified that he thought Clinton should have been prosecuted until he was convinced otherwise “pretty late” in the investigation.
And, last month, a trove of partially redacted FBI documents from the agency’s investigation into whether Clinton mishandled classified information — a probe known as the “Midyear Exam” — revealed that top Clinton aides were shocked at apparent attempts to hack her private email servers.
The document release revealed numerous episodes in which the Clinton team either suspected it had been hacked or seemingly acknowledged that security measures had come up short.
“omg,” top Clinton aide Huma Abedin wrote to Justin Cooper, the technology pro overseeing Clinton’s private home-based email servers, when he told her shortly after midnight on Jan. 9, 2011, that “someone was trying to hack us.”
And in March, it was revealed that the Justice Department “negotiated” an agreement with Clinton’s legal team that ensured the FBI did not have access to emails on her private servers relating to the Clinton Foundation. Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok testified about the arrangement during a closed-door appearance before the House Judiciary Committee last summer, according to a transcript released this year.
“A significant filter team” was employed at the FBI, Strzok said, to “work through the various terms of the various consent agreements.” Limitations imposed on agents’ searches included date ranges and names of domains and people, Strzok said, among other categories.
The agreement was reached, Strzok said, because “according to the attorneys, we lacked probable cause to get a search warrant for those servers and projected that either it would take a very long time and/or it would be impossible to get to the point where we could obtain probable cause to get a warrant.”
Former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who chaired the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee until 2017 and is now a Fox News contributor, said the arrangement signaled that agents wanted willful blindness.
“What’s bizarre about this, is in any other situation, there’s no possible way they would allow the potential perpetrator to self-select what the FBI gets to see,” Chaffetz said, noting that the FBI was aware that the servers contained classified information in unclassified settings. “The FBI should be the one to sort through those emails — not the Clinton attorneys.”
The DOJ’s goal, Chaffetz said, was to “make sure they hear no evil, see no evil — they had no interest in pursuing the truth.”

Yawn. I say that not because this isn’t “really big” but because the Clintons are above the law. They will never face any repercussions for their highly illegal activities. Of course the mainstream media is, and will continue to ignore these stories, except when necessary to come to the Clintons defense.
When its over and done, my guess the Clintons and their cronies will get a slap on the wrists and a warning not to do that again because next time you might get a little harder slap.
We can then move on and be concerned about more important issues, like which of the Kardashians will be selected for “Dancing With the Stars”.

Quite right, sir. But violating security standards is quite understandable when viewed from the perspective of Hillary’s desire not to carry two cell phones (or maybe she said two communication devices- whatever, I heard her make that fatuous comment). Why, she even considers people talking about it to be so much hectoring (har har har): viz her comment during a debate when Sanders(?) said the American people were tired of hearing about her compromising classified information: “I know I am”. A genuine POS.
Fortunately for the Clintons, the American people, for the most part, don’t care that the Clintons were and are among the shadier characters ever to infest the world of politics. Most of them don’t even care that, as Secretary of State, she hung Ambassador Chris Stevens out to dry, and then lied about the circumstances leading up to his murder. Collateral damage according to Clinton supporters.

there is a new sheriff in town, she will face justice, they are gathering evidence… which is something you must have before charges are filed, normally. this is much different than the way trump and his team was treated, they was treated as guilty and must be proven innocent, not the way justice is supposed to be served.

I agree this is nothing but a dog and pony show for the masses. I imagine if the investigation doesn’t die after the 2020 Demoncratic “win” of the White House it’ll find Shillariah innocent of all wrongdoing (perhaps by throwing some of her underlings to the wolves).

“according to the attorneys, we lacked probable cause to get a search warrant for those servers”
Probable cause = Hillary Clinton. (Just in case it’s hard to tell, I’m being sarcastic.)
Strzok had no problem with ignoring the “probable cause” requirement when he went after Trump.

Meanwhile, Hillary is going about her business as usual, probably laughing at how hard everyone is working to bring charges against her. She knows it’s not ever going to happen and is probably committing even worse crimes this very moment.

This Jezebel (may she meet the same fate) was giving away our secrets to our enemies. So did her husband. BOTH are avowed communist. How could they ever get elected to be our leaders?
Unless they are ALL corrupt up there.

Trump has been bagging up all the evidence and will dump it on the table near election day. Stupid people need it that way or they forget.

Locking her up will a good start. I want to see Brennan and Comey perp walked, hopefully at 3 in the morning.

We know what this bitch did, but she wont go to jail just like the Muslim titular POTUS.

Hillary and her cronies aren’t out of justice reach. It’ll take time, but the new
administration has worked on these matters since Trump took office. The net
tightens and in due time Trump will go full throttle on the criminals.

We have all known that this has really big for quite some time now. I’m getting tired of the announcements. Wake me up when they indict her and slap on the bracelets.
