On Tuesday, Clinton attorney David Kendall gave to the Justice Department three thumb drives containing copies of work-related emails sent to and from her personal email addresses via her private server.

They sent a referral to the Justice Department saying they were concerned about how those emails on the server and also a thumb drive that her lawyer had were being stored. The thumb drive, meanwhile, has been turned over. She submitted the affidavit as part of a lawsuit by the conservative group Judicial Watch, which is seeking State Department records. And no voter will bat an eye when she gets a wrist slap because that’s just how things work and everyone knows it. If you polled the public right now and asked how many expected Hillary to receive any criminal penalty whatsoever for her recklessness in insisting on a private server, how many would say yes?
“Mrs. Clinton’s declaration fails to comply with both Judge Sullivan’s court order and the State Department’s request”, Judicial Watch wrote in response.
The development in the FBI inquiry came the same day that a top intelligence official whose office has been reviewing some of Clinton’s emails informed congressional leaders that top-secret information had been contained in two emails that traveled across the server.
That posture is no longer operable, it seems: Will the FBI’s digital forensics team be able to retrieve the more than 32,000 emails Team Clinton reportedly wiped from the server? “I look forward to the Federal Bureau of Investigation answering my questions so the American people can be assured that everything has been done to protect our national security interests and hold accountable anyone who broke the rules”.
The decision indicates that the campaign may be attempting to stifle criticism that Clinton isn’t totally forthcoming. On Tuesday night, some of those lawmakers quickly began issuing statements.
Read the remaining…Hillary Clinton to hand over email server to Justice Dept.
I’ve complained about Kendall possessing this material in the first place.
In March, Clinton said she exchanged about 60,000 emails in her four years in the Obama administration, about half of which were personal and were discarded.
That may not be happening since the Intelligence Community inspector general is deciding which emails to review and how they should be classified.
McCullough said in the past that “none of the emails we reviewed had classification or dissemination markings”, but that some “should have been handled as classified, appropriately marked, and transmitted via a secure network”.
U.S. authorities say two former New York City college students have been indicted on terror charges accusing them of plotting to help the Islamic State group.
On May 22, 2015, the State Department released some 296 of Clinton’s e-mails, which detailed how she handled the September 2012 terrorist attacks on the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
“All this means is that Hillary Clinton, in the face of FBI scrutiny, has decided she has run out of options”.
Gowdy slammed Clinton’s claim she used the private server for its “convenience”. Top secret is one of the highest security classifications, although the e-mails were not classified at the time they were created.

SCOTT PELLEY: Late today, we learned that the intelligence community inspector general has found that two e-mails on Hillary Clinton’s private server should have been classified top secret. The State Department has provided records to its Inspector General.
