F.B.I. Tracking Path of Classified Email From State Dept. to Hillary Clinton

WASHINGTON — F.B.I. agents investigating Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server are seeking to determine who at the State Department passed highly classified information from secure networks to Mrs. Clinton’s personal account, according to law enforcement and diplomatic officials and others briefed on the investigation.

To track how the information flowed, agents will try to gain access to the email accounts of many State Department officials who worked there while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, the officials said. State Department employees apparently circulated the emails on unclassified systems in 2009 and 2011, and some were ultimately forwarded to Mrs. Clinton.

They were not marked as classified, the State Department has said, and it is unclear whether its employees knew the origin of the information.

The F.B.I. is also trying to determine whether foreign powers, especially China or Russia, gained access to Mrs. Clinton’s private server, although at this point, any security breaches are speculation.

Law enforcement officials have said that Mrs. Clinton, who is seeking the 2016 Democratic nomination for president, is not a target of the investigation, and she has said there is no evidence that her account was hacked. There has also been no evidence that she broke the law, and many specialists believe the occasional appearance of classified information in her account was probably of marginal consequence.

1. Sounds Like They Are Looking For Someone Else To Take The Fall......

who will be thrown under the bus?

[askew]

2. If I had to guess, I'd say Huma (Anthony Weiner's wife).

She had an account on Hillary's private server as well and she has a team of lawyers speaking for her now. She is being less than forthcoming on items.

If not her, I'd say Cheryl Mills.

Someone is going to get in trouble for what happened and it is never someone at Hillary's level.

The question becomes can Hillary escape unscathed from the scandal?

3. The asshole responsible for sending the classified information?

[emulatorloo]

5. +1

although we'll no doubt here lots of conspiracy theories before this investigation is over.

[Fred Sanders]

7. The whole thing is a "pathway" to yet another month of wasted time by the troll sniffing media.

The real scandal is how the GOP manufactures fake scandals.

The PP smear and Emailgazhi smear are closely related in evil GOP intent based purely on manufactured and carefully constructed lies.

[Iliyah]

4. GOP operate? Ummmmmm, someone working with the assholes (GOPs) to

discredit HRC any means necessary? Now that's a SCANDAL. . .

Thanks for the information, of course corporate media will do and say the opposite.

[onehandle]

6. So it was much ado about nothing, of course.

Clinton haters are crying in their Bud Lights tonight.

8. I have to believe it was an error.

Was the error actionable, who knows?


Cui bono? What's the benefit of removing a classified tag from a classified document?

9. The NY Times spins again....
