Desperate Hillary campaign tries to reassure supporters: ‘You might hear some

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday turned over her private email server used during her service as secretary of State to the Department of Justice, after months of demands from Trey Gowdy and fellow Republicans that she turn over the server.

“The server contains personal communications from my husband and me, and I believe I have met all of my responsibilities and the server will remain private”, Clinton said in March.

Her campaign reiterated to supporters Wednesday that Clinton didn’t use her personal email for classified exchanges. But investigators are, at least, going to give it the old college try.

Clinton had claimed as recently as March, when the news of her private account became public, that none of the information she handled in her private email was classified. All indications are that the FBI and Intelligence Community want these pieces of hardware just to make sure no more classified information exists on platforms outside its own walls, not to check what may have been on it before. The State Department has quibbled with the ICIG’s determination that some emails on the hardware were “Top Secret” when they were sent.

Clinton’s email problems are getting worse.

The State Department has declined to give the inspector-general, Mr I. Charles McCullough III, access to the entire trove of roughly 30,000 e-mails that Mrs Clinton handed over to the department past year. Taylor’s list of suspected violations by Clinton and/or her aides includes, “Unlawful removal and storage of classified information “without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location”.

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”.

State Department spokesperson John Kirby said “Department employees circulated these emails on unclassified systems in 2009 and 2011 and ultimately some were forwarded to Secretary Clinton”.

Senior Republican Reince Priebus said Clinton had “run out of options” in the face of FBI scrutiny. “They were not marked as classified”.

After months of denials and delaying actions, Hillary Clinton has decided to turn over her private email server to the Department of Justice.

A high-level government source familiar with the investigation spoke to Breitbart News on condition of anonymity, telling us the inspector general for the intelligence community confirms that some of Clinton’s emails were “classified when originated”.

Clinton has said that after she turned over all of her official emails to the State Department last December, she wiped clean her server which contained over 61,000 emails. At the time, the only thing Hillary Clinton had to say about that was to issue a sermon about how classified information “deserves to be protected and we will continue to take necessary steps to do so” because it “affect[s] the security of individuals and relationships”.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation didn’t use a subpoena to obtain the server, another official said. The statement comes with the penalty of perjury if the court determines she purposely falsified any information.
