Some of those same concerns are likely to be resurrected as Clinton’s server is inspected.

What’s on the server and why did she turn it over?
Kendall told a congressional oversight committee in a letter that there was “no basis” to support a third-party examination of the server.
It’s not clear if the server will yield any information – Clinton’s attorney said in March that no emails from the main personal address she used while secretary of state still “reside on the server or on back-up systems associated with the server”.
The State Department has been steadily releasing the emails to the public in keeping with Clinton’s request after redacting parts of them to remove sensitive or classified information.
Grassley stated the inspector basic of the intelligence group had reported the brand new particulars concerning the greater classification to Congress on Tuesday.
As Newsbusters points out, Pelley did want to reassure the viewers that “the e-mails were not classified at the time they were created”.
The information included references to information related to satellite images and electronic communications, according to the officials.
“Department employees circulated these emails on unclassified systems in 2009 and 2011 and ultimately some were forwarded to Secretary Clinton“. The documents were from a “limited sampling” of her emails and among those 40 reviewed, said the inspector general, Charles McCullough III. The State Department disputes that the emails were classified at the time.
The also say that the former secretary of state should have had sufficient knowledge about what was considered classified and what was not and should have known “to protect it appropriately”. These are supposedly the same emails she already handed over to the government and the same ones slated to be released in 2016.
But Hoekstra and Toensing say that that explanation “ignores how the process works”.
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.
“The Intelligence Community has recommended that portions of two of the four emails identified by the Intelligence Community’s Inspector General should be upgraded to the Top Secret level”.
The Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation both declined to comment.
Lawmakers have demanded records, including personal emails, from six other aides, but it’s unknown whether they used personal email for work.

Clinton’s email problems are getting worse. The statement, which carries her signature and was signed under penalty of perjury, echoed months of Clinton’s past public statements about the matter. She turned over the other half to the State Department last December. The Wisconsin governor called her email use “a serious and potentially criminal offense that proves [she] put her own personal convenience ahead of the safety and security of the American people”. “Within the meantime, her staff has labored with the State Division to make sure her emails are saved in a protected and safe method”.
