Clinton’s campaign said it was “pleased” with the report’s release.

“Clinton was not involved in the decision to move to a server built by Bryan Pagliano”, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in newly released notes of a July 2 interview with her. The government forbids the handling of classified information outside secure channels.
Clinton said for months she did not send or receive any classified information on her private email, but the FBI investigation found 81 email chains that included some form of classified information, ranging from “sensitive” to “top secret”.
This also means she can not remember reading emails with classified documents. They only contained a (C) marking before certain paragraphs.
In the report, released today (Sept. 2), the agency disclosed its finding that Clinton “used in succession 11 e-mail capable BlackBerry mobile devices”, eight of which she used while at the State Department.
Clinton said it was well known she used that email address: “At least a hundred, if not several hundred State employees” had that contact info.
The devices would then be set up and synced to the server.
The FBI report also sheds light on the supposed “oh s*** moment” of an unnamed computer specialist who forgot to reset Clinton’s mailbox preferences.
In its summary of the interview with Clinton, the agency said she had received no direction on preserving or producing State Department records while transitioning out of her post.
“Is this really from you?” “I was anxious about opening it!”
One associate sent Abedin an email with a link to a porn site.
One of those e-mails was sent from Russian Federation.
Hackers did attack Clinton’s server.
At the same time, they couldn’t conclude the server wasn’t hacked.
“These documents demonstrate Hillary Clinton’s reckless and downright risky handling of classified information during her tenure as Secretary of State”, Ryan said in a statement. We just know that a lot of high-level State employees made judgments that were apparently uncontroversial at the time but were eventually overruled by classification authorities.
Clinton cited her 2012 concussion as one reason she couldn’t remember so many details. “Based on her doctor’s advice, she could only work at State for a few hours a day and could not recall every briefing she received”, the report said. The FBI asked Clinton if she was aware that she herself was an Original Classified Authority who could determine classification. Yet she maintains she’s healthy enough for what President Obama has called ‘the toughest job in the world’. What are the periods of time that she can not remember?
“I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data”, Powell said. And that she added as further argument, that there were “many conversations about drone strikes that never occurred”.

In another bout of amnesia, Clinton told agents she “could not recall any briefing or training by State related to the retention of federal records or handling of classified information”. Investigators also found multiple instances of phishing emails sent to Clinton’s account. The FBI said Clinton described him as “a prodigious writer whose information was sometimes accurate and sometimes not”. Beyond that, the FBI had no comment relating to the investigation. The former top military leader has warned the Presidential Candidate that work-related e-mails on her phone can become public record. She did not have a fax machine. At this point, it is enough that Donald Trump and his supporters will portray the former First Lady’s character as dishonest and unethical thereby concluding that she is unfit to sit at the Oval Office. Those were a little more high-tech.
