FBI Admits Finding Additional Info On Clinton Server During Email Investigation

by Chris White | 8:01 pm, June 8th, 2016

In a new government filing, the feds admit having obtained additional records from Clinton’s private server and state they have properly withheld the records because they were “compiled for law enforcement purposes.” The new information came in a DOJ reply in support of its motion for summary judgment in a FOIA lawsuit brought by Vice News reporter, Jason Leopold. Leopold is seeking correspondence between the FBI and Clinton referencing the Clinton email server.

~Snip~

The FBI has publicly stated that it is working on a referral from the Inspectors General of the Intelligence Community and the Department of State in connection with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server….The referral was ‘a security referral made for counterintelligence purposes.” ….Records responsive to plaintiff’s FOIA request were obtained or created by the FBI in furtherance of a pending investigation being conducted as a result of this referral.

In other words, the FBI has established its burden to withhold documents related to the Clinton investigation because they were obtained or created in furtherance of a pending investigation. “And the referral from the Inspectors General to the FBI provided a rational nexus between the pending investigation and the FBI’s law enforcement duties.” Meaning, what may have started as a referral is now a full investigation.

Finally, the FBI addresses Leopold’s request by saying the disclosure of what it obtained off Clinton’s server, thumb drive or other obtained devices “could reasonably lead to the public identification and compromising of potential witnesses, as well as defensive actions to conceal activities, elude detection, and/or suppress or fabricate evidence.”

10. It's an FBI investigation. Hillary is at the center of it. Being the nominee won't change that./nt

12. Especially since all Obama has to do is pardon Hillary for her crimes and she's home free...

So what's the problem?

[tex-wyo-dem]

13. If that's the case...

Hillary will no longer be the nominee and Obama's legacy will negatively affected big time.

At least she would avoid prison.
