The practice allows them to be called on to offer advice to their former department or to serve on boards and commissions that might handle classified data.

“While I do not know what information may be “responsive” for purposes of this lawsuit, I have directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody, that were or potentially were federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done”, she wrote in a declaration submitted to the court. But Wells added that the data on Clinton’s server was migrated to another server that still exists. Those questions have yet to be answered.
And Iowa is especially important for Clinton as she campaigns to win the home of the first presidential caucuses. The incredible thing is that this spin isn’t coming directly from the campaign, but from the reporters covering it. National Public Radio’s Tamara Keith reported Wednesday morning that the inquiry “isn’t targeted directly at [Clinton]” and is simply intended to determine whether the server was secure. She declined to identify the third party.
Still there’s cause for concern from an information security perspective about Clinton’s decision to exclusively use a private email server, Aftergood noted.
Or it could turn up nothing. Company officials have declined to comment.
As federal investigators have been told previously, the server is no longer active and had been erased of all data, the officials said.
But the drama has done little so far to dent Trump’s appeal among less affluent, conservative-leaning voters who say his brash style is needed to shake up an overly cautious political system and that his vast wealth would help him resist corrupting influences.
Ultimately, both Blanton and Aftergood said the memos tell us much more about the turf war between State and the intelligence community than they do about how Clinton handled her emails.
“Standard procedure is that when there is evidence of a security breach, the clearance of the individual is suspended in many, but not all, cases”, said retired Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin, who was deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence in the George W. Bush administration.
An email server is a computer used to send, store and manage electronic communications.
Clinton, Iowa spokeswoman Lily Adams says the former secretary of state looks forward to talking with Iowans and, of course, “enjoying some of the famous food”.
Last December, Clinton provided what she said were copies of all the work emails she had in her possession, nearly two years after she stepped down as secretary of state.
FBI investigators likely will first look to see if the deleted emails can be recovered, said Toren, a partner with the law firm Weisbrod Matteis & Copley Pllc.
Whether forensic computer specialists can retrieve any of the deleted emails is unclear. Two were sent back to the State Department for review, but Grassley said the other two were, in fact, classified at the closely guarded “Top Secret/SCI level”. IAM members also favored early involvement in the election campaign by more than 2-1.

Republican John Boehner, the U.S. House of Representatives speaker, also released a statement saying that Clinton’s “mishandling of classified information must be fully investigated”. Now is the time to vet ideas and ask questions. She and I share numerous same deeply-held beliefs. The power sources would include next-generation nuclear power, wind and solar energy, as well as yet-to-be-developed “technologies we’ve never heard of”, O’Malley said.
