Fitton: FBI Notes on Clinton Emails Go Missing
2019-06-12
[Breitbart] Given the FBI’s repeated intransigence over the years in responding to our FOIA requests, I’m not of a mind to assume this story represents simply an innocent mistake.

The FBI has released 277 pages of redacted records that show the FBI failed to produce information from an August 2015 meeting with Intelligence Community Inspector General about Hillary Clinton’s email server. The FBI claimed that notes are "missing" and the CD containing notes from meeting is likely "damaged" irreparably.

The records, which were posted on the FBI’s website, are the 32nd release of documents in response to our 2016 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:16-cv-02046). We filed the lawsuit after the Justice Department failed to comply with a July 7, 2016, FOIA request for:

  • All FD-302 forms prepared pursuant to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server during her tenure.

  • All records of communications between any agent, employee, or representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding, concerning, or related to the aforementioned investigation. This request includes, but is not limited to, any related communications with any official, employee, or representative of the Department of Justice, the Executive Office of the President, the Democratic National Committee, and/or the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.

  • All records related to the meeting between Attorney General Lynch and former President Bill Clinton on June 27, 2016.

    Included in the documents are February 2019 FBI electronic communications documenting the damaged CD and the missing notes from the August 3, 2015, meeting between FBI special agents and the ICIG about Clinton’s server:

    For reference, Special Agents (SAs) [redacted] have been gathering and copying materials from the captioned case located in the Washington Field Office (WFO) CI-13 Workbox in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) tasking from Information Management Division (IMD; formerly known as Records Management Division).

    On or about February 6, 2019, SAs [redacted] opened [redacted]-CYBER-1A27, which contained a CD with a crack on it (a damaged CD). SA [redacted] attempted to copy the damaged CD at the WFO Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) self-service area, but was not able to do so. SA [redacted] spoke with FBI information technology specialists on the ground floor of WFO regarding the damaged CD, who indicated it was unlikely the CD could be copied.

    #7  The punishment for ANY government agency who can't find their 'paperwork' should prison and/or death. You might get a pass if an F5 Tornado goes through your office but that's it.

    There's NO excuse for this crap, at all. These sorts of failures by our government should be SEVERELY PUNISHED. So much so that they should live in terror of losing anything.

    #5  So heartbreaking to see the depth of the corruption at the bureau, and know that that ethos will never brow back, too many SJW/Minority/Feminists now infect both DoJ and the FBI. Champ and ValJar oversaw the salting of the middle-level management with like-minded drones....

    #3  If Wray can't do the job he should at least do the honorable thing which would be to resign. If he won't do that then can his ass.

    #2  Given the DS efforts to exonerate Hilda, it is not surprising that these 302s went missing. Many records were destroyed in an attempt to cover-up and elevate her to POTUS, no matter what.

    #1  Well, I guess it’s a do-over, then.
