“Federal Bureau of Investigation agents asked Clinton about email chains marked “(C)”, which “ostensibly indicat (ed) the presence of information classified at the confidential level”.

Ryan pointed to the discrepancies between what Clinton said and what the report revealed.
In a separate letter also obtained by the AP, Chaffetz – the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman – warned the Denver-based tech firm, Platte River Networks, that one of its engineers who deleted Clinton’s electronic files previous year could face federal charges of obstructing evidence for erasing the material.
The FBI director has faced renewed criticism after his agency published a scathing 58-page summary of the Clinton email investigation just hours before the Labor Day weekend. The Justice Department has so far heeded the recommendation for no charges.
Maybe after Matt Lauer’s tough questioning of Clinton at Wednesday night’s Commander-in-Chief Forum, the media felt some sympathy for her and made a decision to take their feet off the gas pedal. “In furtherance of such an investigation, you should consider why records were destroyed after Secretary Clinton and her agents were on notice to preserve them”.
“State Executive Secretariat’s Office of Information Resource Management offered Clinton a State email address at the start of her tenure; however, Clinton’s staff declined the offer”, but instead chose to use the personal server from the 2008 campaign. The GOP is pressing the Justice Department to open a new investigation into whether Clinton committed perjury.
The FBI in July closed the agency’s yearlong investigation into whether Clinton and her top aides mishandled classified information that flowed through the private email server located in the basement of her NY home.
The email archive laptop and the thumb drive are now unaccounted for, as are eight Blackberries and two of five iPads that Clinton used to access her email account.
Similarly, an August 2011 email chain addressed “communications issues” flagged by Mills, including a suggestion from State Department IT officials (later rejected by Huma Abedin) regarding the possibility of a State-issued BlackBerry for Clinton. “The FBI resolved all of this”, she said. “But after a March 25 conference call with Clinton’s lawyers, an employee for the company had what he called an “‘oh s-‘ moment”, realizing he hadn’t carried out the instructions from three months earlier to delete the older email records.
So, what we know is: Hillary Clinton has lied to the American public, she has passed the buck to her staff members, has mishandled classified information on a private server, failed to remember key meetings and trainings, and she is getting away with it all.
Democrats said Chaffetz’s facts were wrong.
