She said several dozen times that she couldn’t recall details of her email arrangement or specific emails that were found to have contained classified information.

In a 31/2-hour interview with the Justice Department’s top counterintelligence officials July 2, Clinton defended her handling of the private email system by repeatedly saying she had deferred to the judgment of her aides, an Federal Bureau of Investigation summary of the interview showed. This FBI report won’t help her make that case.
Additionally, PRN made various network changes to the PRN Server around March 7, 2015, to include disabling the server’ s public-facing VPN page and switching from SSL protocol to TLS to increase security. However, Comey has said the unusually high-profile case warranted more robust public disclosures than is standard.
Clinton told FBI investigators that she had used a personal email server “out of convenience” and did not remember anyone raising legal concerns about the practice.
Clinton’s correspondence with confidante Sidney Blumenthal has drawn particular scrutiny.
However, there has been no evidence that the hacking were successful.
The FBI notes said investigators identified 13 mobile devices that “potentially were used to send emails using Clinton’s Clintonemail.com email address”.
FBI investigators said that Mrs Clinton used 13 mobile devices during her four-year stint at the state department but her lawyers told them that they were unable to locate any of them.
She said she was aware a private email server was located in the basement of her Chappaqua, New York, home but had no knowledge of the “hardware, software and security protocols used to construct and operate the server”. “All of this was done to hide what we are once again seeing in the latest email productions from the State Department: rampant conflicts of interest and a pay-to-play culture that rewarded Clinton Foundation donors with access and favors”.
“I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data”, Powell said. Powell warned Clinton that if she used her BlackBerry for official business, those emails could become “official record [s] and subject to the law”.
“There’s a lot of information that isn’t at all classified”.
“Clinton said she received no instructions or direction regarding the preservation or production of records from State during the transition out of her role as secretary of state in 2013”, read the FBI’s notes from its July interview with Clinton.
Moore said Friday that Clinton could have possibly mollified speculation over her server use but has only further aggravated tensions by not holding a news conference in more than nine months.
Authors of the emails told the Federal Bureau of Investigation that they “used their best judgment” in drafting the emails and said “it was common practice at State to carefully word emails on unclassified networks so as to avoid sensitive details or “talk around” … classified information”, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation summary. She said all cables of a “certain policy nature” went out under her name.
That dovetails with what Clinton told “Face the Nation” in an interview that aired on January 10, when she suggested she relied on one aide, Jake Sullivan, to determine what could and couldn’t be appropriately transmitted through her private server.
The 58 pages of notes included the Democratic presidential nominee’s interview and details about her private server at her NY residence.

The FBI found that while Clinton’s conduct was not criminal, she had been “extremely careless” in sending classified information via her personal email account. Mr. Ryan said notes from the agency’s July 2 interview with the Democratic presidential nominee demonstrated “reckless and downright dangerous” behavior.
