Feb 2 letter/FBI confirms its investigation of Clinton's server & ongoing law enforcement efforts

[Skwmom]

Now, in a letter dated February 2 and filed in court Monday, the FBI’s general counsel, James Baker, notes that in public statements and congressional testimony, the FBI “has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server.”

Baker says the FBI has not, however, “publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings.”

He ends the one-paragraph letter by saying that the FBI cannot say more “without adversely affecting on-going law enforcement efforts.”

Note: The letter is dated Feb 2. I haven't heard any mention of this on any corp media channels.

9. Yep. Was going to post the same. +625,000 (in speaking fees from Wall Street)

5. There has been no discussion of this on the shows. They've been pushing both Trump and Clinton. n/t

7. And State told us about the Top Secret emails before Iowa

Ya think maybe somebody is trying to keep us from making a terrible mistake?

3. In other words, this week old statement is to say nothing new ...

FBI “has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server.”

Baker says the FBI has not, however, “publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings.”

11. They won't until they have to. Nothing is disclosed in these things

until they move or drop things. That neither gives her a pass nor damns her. Although, this sucks for timing if you support HRC.

12. The first sentence you quote is new.

Until now, the FBI had only publicly acknowledged that it was looking into the security of the servers.

Matters related to Sec Clinton's use of a private email server is something different and new.

14. You left this part out ...

In a letter disclosed Monday in a federal court filing, the FBI confirms one of the world’s worst-kept secrets: It is looking into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

[morningfog]

23. Which says the same thing as your first quote and is new.

The FBI had not confirmed that, or commented as to whether, it was looking into Sec Clinton's use of a private server until now.

That is different than looking into the security of the server.

4. Been saying it for weeks...

A criminal referral is coming, if not for HRC, it will be most of her staff...good luck winning the GE with that albatross hanging around your neck...

[bigdarryl]

6. Um the FBI can't criminally charge anyone only a Federal Prosecutor can do that

[hoosierlib]

8. They can (and will) forward a criminal referral to the DOJ

10. Historically, being a FOC has high risk of contact with prosecutors.

15. Wishful thinking? eom.

16. Doubtful...one cannot simply store classified information on an unsecured network...

http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/520001_vol3.pdf

"12. REMOVAL OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION FOR WORK AT HOME. When it is mission critical for individuals to remove classified information and materials (e.g., IT equipment and associated storage media) for work at home, specific security measures and approvals are required. Security measures appropriate for the level of classification must be in place to provide adequate protection and security-in-depth and to prevent access by unauthorized persons. Compliance with section 13 of Enclosure 4 of this Volume is also required."

She did not follow the rules...

[1StrongBlackMan]

17. Correction ...

one cannot simply store classified information on an unsecured network ... if your name is HRC.

[hoosierlib]

18. Ask General Petraeus how lenient the government is when it comes to sharing of classified material

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/politics/david-petraeus-sentencing/

"Gen. David Petraeus, once a widely celebrated military leader who oversaw operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and was touted as a potential presidential candidate, was sentenced to serve two years on probation and to pay an $100,000 fine on Thursday for sharing classified information with his biographer and lover, Paula Broadwell."

Its serious shit...

[1StrongBlackMan]

19. You mean sharing information marked "Classified" with your writer lover ...

is the same as having documents that may, or may not, be marked "Classified" by a different agency, at a later date, is the same thing?

[hoosierlib]

21. On a unsecured network, absolutely...

And by the sounds of it, there were multiple occurrences (i.e. a pattern) and it included SAPs (which are supposed to be even more specially protected than materials classified as "Secret" or "Top Secret&quot .

[1StrongBlackMan]

22. You may think so ... It doesn't matter what I think ...

because I am ignorant of federal/SoS/DoD protocols ... but my opinion is based on what the State Department and National security experts have written.

20. Uh Oh!

Whew...wouldn't want to be her!
