Emails seen by The Daily Caller show Abedin and Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills discussing how somebody had emailed the secretary about a job.

“There’s a certain expectation that you stay involved, you don’t totally get off the scene”, said Anita McBride, a longtime Bush family aide. “Personally, I think it’s outrageous”.
In public and in private, FBI Director James Comey has repeatedly defended his recommendation that Clinton not be charged in the matter, insisting the FBI found no evidence that she knowingly sent or received classified information over the private server.
But, as with Hillary Clinton’s ongoing email controversy, the foundation stories are still troubling, because they reflect a stubborn unwillingness by the Democratic nominee to listen to her critics – feeding the widespread suspicion among voters that she’s not trustworthy.
Mills responded: “This is unbelievable, and she also should not be giving her email to everyone – b/c she will get stuff like this”.
A judge re-opened the case a year ago after learning that thousands of previously undisclosed records had been discovered on Clinton’s private email server. The meeting lasted about three-and-a-half-hours and took place at Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters in Washington, D.C.
In a separate case, Judicial Watch has been seeking Clinton’s communications about the attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, during which U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith were killed. “We didn’t say it amounted to the end of the world, we said this is an important and interesting thing that people should know about, Clinton’s tenure in the highest office that she’s ever held, secretary of state”.
He noted Clinton’s displeasure with the current “No Blackberry in the SCIF” rule. He cited the sale of uranium to Russian Federation with Hillary as Secretary of State as just one case in point.
According to AP reporters Stephen Braun and Eileen Sullivan, these donors constituted an “extraordinary proportion” of the larger group of donors, one that suggests Clinton’s “possible ethics challenges if elected president”. HRC refers to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Carroll did defend the story itself, though, and put some of the blame on the Clinton campaign and the State Department for not being more forthcoming with Clinton’s schedule as secretary of state and for not answering questions about the investigation’s findings. The appointee apparently failed the security tests and he directly appealed to the secretary of state for assistance.
“I know there’s a lot of smoke and there’s no fire”.
The AP goes on to note that Clinton met with other donors, with the head of an AIDS charity and with the president of the Kennedy Center. Could they possibly believe this is how politics should work? “Just how easy was it to get access to Hillary Clinton’s email address”.
Even before Clinton became secretary of state in 2009, it was clear that her family’s charitable enterprise, which depended heavily on donations from foreign governments and corporations, was a potential problem.
