He also said that Clinton’s attorneys did not have necessary security clearances, and when asked further if it concerned him, Comey replied, “Oh yeah, sure”. “I can tell you, though, that she has no recollection of that conversation either”, said Georgia Godfrey, Rice’s chief of Staff at the Stanford University. And that raises the possibility that Clinton got rid of lots of emails that she shouldn’t have via a process that was something short of transparent.

‘Her people have been trying to pin it on me. “On the other hand, it absolutely makes no sense”. The ones that met with Hillary, at least 40 of them donated more than $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. “I think it definitely raises questions”, he said. “We’ll get rid of the crime, you’ll be able to walk down the street without getting shot”.

The State Department said Monday that they will be releasing a portion of 14,900 Hillary Clinton emails discovered by the FBI in the course of their investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state. In late July, it turned them over to the State Department, which now must set a timetable for their release, according to Boasberg’s order.
Also, Trump claimed that Clinton deleted her emails to “cover up her crimes”, but Comey said the Federal Bureau of Investigation found “no evidence that any of the additional work-related emails [that the Federal Bureau of Investigation found] were intentionally deleted in an effort to hide them”.
U.S. District James Boasberg on Monday ordered the State Department to process those recovered records by September 22 and report back to him that day.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus have called for the early release of the emails. If it turns out that a large number of these documents should have been made public, it will reaffirm one of the reasons using a private email server is frowned upon. “The exchanges include ones between top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and foundation executive Douglas Band about face time for Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain, whose scholarship program gave Dollars 32 million to the Clinton Global Initiative”, the daily wrote. “Good friend of ours”, Band wrote to Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest aides.
