[Reuters] The Clinton Foundation on multiple occasions during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state asked senior U.S. government officials to vet her husband's contacts with potentially controversial international figures, according to emails released by the State Department.
The emails, reviewed by Reuters, were part of a batch of nearly 400 messages recently released by the State Department after requests from the conservative group Citizens United, a group that has long been critical of the Clintons.
The exchanges show a top foreign policy adviser to the foundation sought guidance from the State Department on former President Bill Clinton's interactions with people including Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Russian government officials and business leaders, and Gulnara Karimova, the socialite daughter of Uzbekistan’s late president.
The emails offer a glimpse of the intricate relationship between a private charity with a broad global mission and the State Department under the leadership of a secretary who is married to a former president.
Former government officials reached by Reuters said there was nothing inappropriate in the interactions of the foundation with the State Department over the potential meetings, some of which did not occur.

Interesting, a Non-Governmental Foundation receives US Intelligence reporting and dossiers on foreign personnel ?
One might assume similar reporting was harvested for US Persons as well. Sort of habit forming, that vetting thing, once you've enjoyed the feeds.
Foggy Bottom must have dramatically improved their human intelligence collection capabilities over the years, or were they provided outside assistance ?

If Hillary can't remember Jack $hit about anything because of her 2012 concussion (she became SOS in 2009), maybe Bill can. Anyway, if she can't remember anything about her server, security training or briefings, drone targeting, or anything else about her stint at State, she is not fit or qualified to be POTUS. Moreover, the government should be talking about criminal charges rather than her coronation. Both her and Bill are grifters and con artists--nothing either one of them should happen to say should be believed. I wonder if anyone really give a flip about a lying disgraced ex-POTUS, a lying unindicted ex-SOS, and their criminal enterprise--it certainly doesn't seem so. Have we really slipped this low as a country?
[THEGUARDIAN] A Clinton Foundation laptop and a thumb drive used to archive Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Elihu B. Washburne ... ’s emails from her time as secretary of state are missing, according to FBI notes released on Friday.
The phrase "Clinton could not recall" litters the summary of the FBI’s investigation, which concluded in July that she should not face charges. Amid fierce Republican criticism of the Democratic presidential candidate, the party’s nominee, Donald Trump released a statement which said "Hillary Clinton’s answers to the FBI about her private email server defy belief" and added that he did not "understand how she was able to get away from prosecution".
The FBI documents describe how Monica Hanley, a former Clinton aide, received assistance in spring 2013 from Justin Cooper, a former aide to Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... , in creating an archive of Hillary Clinton’s emails. Cooper provided Hanley with an Apple MacBook laptop from the Clinton Foundation ‐ the family organization currently embroiled in controversy ‐ and talked her through the process of transferring emails from Clinton’s private server to the laptop and a thumb drive.
"Hanley completed this task from her personal residence," the notes record. The devices were intended to be stored at Clinton’s homes in New York and Washington. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... Hanley "forgot" to provide the archive laptop and thumb drive to Clinton’s staff.
In early 2014, Hanley located the laptop at her home and tried to transfer the email archive to an IT company, apparently without success. It appears the emails were then transferred to an unnamed person’s personal Gmail account and there were problems around Apple software not being compatible with that of Microsoft.
The unnamed person "told the FBI that, after the transfer was complete, he deleted the emails from the archive laptop but did not wipe the laptop. The laptop was then put in the mail, only to go missing. [Redacted] told the FBI that she never received the laptop from [redacted]; however, she advised that Clinton’s staff was moving offices at the time, and it would have been easy for the package to get lost during the transition period.
"Neither Hanley nor [redacted] could identify the current whereabouts of the archive laptop or thumb drive containing the archive, and the FBI does not have either item in its possession."

Well...the Muslum Brotherhood or the KSA wouldn't need it, she's already sold out to them.

Un-be-Funking-Believable. People should be in Prison for this. HILLARY CLINTON should be in prison for a very, very, long time.
Yet she got off scot-free.
I take some hope in the fact that she was never charged - so double jeopardy would not apply were she to be charged by a more honest Justice Department.
[JSONLINE] A woman beaten to death with a lamp in an act of domestic violence. A man fatally stabbed during an argument outside a tavern. A man shot and killed while returning from a funeral for his grandfather.
Those are just three of the 24 homicides recorded in August -- what Milwaukee police have termed the "deadliest month" in 25 years. What would any of them have to lose by voting for Trump?
It is the highest monthly total since July 1991, when the victims of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer were discovered, Milwaukee police said. Betcha the survivors don't. Milwaukee will remain Dem.
"We've had a slight increase in domestic violence homicides this year, but the biggest driver of our homicides is arguments and fights and retaliation among people with criminal records," Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said Thursday.
"Some of our challenge is simply consistently being able to deter armed offending through the criminal justice system," he added. "The penalties are too weak."

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] An unidentified person accessed an email account on Clinton's private server from an IP address associated with encryption tool Tor in 2013
The incident happened January 5, 2013, a month before the Democratic presidential nominee left the State Department
According to the FBI's review of the Clinton server logs, the user using three IP addresses that are known to serve as Tor 'exit nodes'
But the owner of the email account, whose name is redacted in the report, said she was 'not familiar with nor [had] she ever used Tor software'
Tor, which was developed with the support of the US government, is an encrypted privacy tool that is used to hide a person's history
It has been criticized for allowing hackers and criminals to evade law enforcement in the dark web
In another incident, top aide Huma Abedin revealed to an unidentified person that Clinton had fears she had been hacked

Used a dark web browser? Knowing the dark web exists would indicate a fair level of sophistication. The whole thing is very phishy.
#3
All Tor IP addresses should be blocked by the firewall. Tor is nothing but a place for hackers to hide their real IP addresses. The fact that it wasn't blocked by the firewall is yet another indication that we are dealing with a felony stupid, extremely careless presidential candidate.
And what about a spam filter? No spam filter? Yet another indication...

Seriously folks, anybody who's taken IT Security 101 at their local junior college, or even high school, should know these things. We couldn't expect Hillary to know them but she at least should have had some concept of security and hired someone who could implement some rudimentary measures to secure her server...unless she was afraid that such an individual might eventually be called to testify.

I disagree Abu. Hillary was a Governors wife, a senator - on a number of high level committees, a First Lady, etc... She is not a newbie novice to government - far from it. For her not to know a least security 101 or at least know to get some decent advice from someone with experience in the field means she either dumber than a bag of hammers or complacent. And she's not stupid.
[Pantagraph] WASHINGTON -- Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton relied on the judgments of her staff and others not to illegally send emails containing classified information to her private email server, and told FBI investigators she was unclear about a classification marking on official government documents.
The revelation came Friday as the FBI, in a rare step, published scores of pages summarizing interviews with Clinton and her top aides from the FBI's recently closed criminal investigation into her use of a private email server in the basement her Chappaqua, New York, home.
Clinton told the FBI she never sought or asked permission to use a private server or email address during her tenure as the nation's top diplomat, which violated federal records keeping policies.
Clinton has repeatedly said her use of private email was allowed. But over 3 ½ hours in an interview in July, she told FBI investigators she "did not explicitly request permission to use a private server or email address," the FBI wrote. They said no one at the State Department raised concerns during her tenure, and that Clinton said everyone with whom she exchanged emails knew she was using a private email address.
The documents also include technical details about how the private server was set up. It is the first disclosure of details provided by Bryan Pagliano, the technology staffer who set up and maintained Clinton's IT infrastructure. Pagliano secured an immunity agreement from the Justice Department after previously refusing to testify before Congress, invoking his constitutional right against self-incrimination.
Large portions of the FBI documents were censored. The FBI cited exemptions protecting national security and investigative techniques. Previous government reviews of the 55,000 pages of emails Clinton returned to the State Department found that about 110 contained classified information.

I wonder if she realizes just how utterly incompetent her excuses are making her look. "I'm a complete and total idiot! Vote for me!" isn't exactly the smartest move she could make. But then, what else do we expect out of such a vile, inhuman harpy like her.
#4
It was a choice between appearing utterly incompetent and duplicitous or staring a federal indictment and potential conviction in the face; and the all but certain end of her political ambitions and career.
One can only hope that the lies and deception have finally caught up with her. Then again, she's been able to squeeze through plenty of times in the past with the media in her pocket, which helps a lot.
If the media cares at all about regaining its credibility, assuming that's even possible at this point, they will have no choice but to report this for what it is:
She's either a bald-faced liar or totally incompetent and either should exclude her from the highest office in the land.
#1
Because she and the Donks want to be the only ones to rig this election? Doesn't like competition? She stuck in a "Cold War" mentality and wants a hot war?
#3
Because there must be an external enemy with whom domestic enemies are conspiring. Islam is untouchable (if only because of their contributions to Clinton Fund). Ditto for China. The usual suspects - not in election season. Plus, like every good progressive, she can't stomach Russia's betrayal of progressivism.

Sergei Lavrov and Putin shoved this one up her fat arse. She's very, very unforgiving.
