Report: FBI 'A-Team' Leading 'Extremely Serious' Probe into Hillary Email Scheme
We already knew that the FBI has been looking into whether Hillary Clinton's
improper email scheme
resulted in the mishandling of classified information, or resulted in
any national security breaches -- which many data security experts
believe is a
virtual certainty.
The Clinton campaign has insisted along the way that the Democratic
presidential candidate is not herself a target of the probe, claimed
she's done nothing wrong, and changed its story regarding classified
materials several times. They also stated that the investigation is not
criminal in nature, a
distinction dismissed by an FBI spokesman. Now Fox News' Catherine Herridge
has new details into the seriousness of the Bureau's work:
From Fox's accompanying
online story:
An FBI "A-team" is leading the "extremely serious"
investigation into Hillary Clinton's server and the focus includes a
provision of the law pertaining to "gathering, transmitting or losing
defense information," an intelligence source told Fox News. The section
of the Espionage Act is known as 18 US Code 793. A separate source, who also was not authorized to speak on the record, said the FBI will further determine whether
Clinton should have known, based on the quality and detail of the
material, that emails passing through her server contained classified
information regardless of the markings. The campaign's standard
defense and that of Clinton is that she "never sent nor received any
email that was marked classified" at the time. It is not clear how the
FBI team's findings will impact the probe itself. But the details offer a
window into what investigators are looking for -- as the Clinton
campaign itself downplays the controversy...A leading national
security attorney, who recently defended former CIA officer Jeffrey
Sterling in a leak investigation, told Fox News that violating the
Espionage Act provision in question is a felony and pointed to a
particular sub-section...The Clinton campaign did not provide an on-the-record comment on the matter when given questions by Fox News.
Unconstitutional.
Unconscionable. In other words, just another day in Obama’s America.
When will Obama’s government subsidize kosher food in public schools? Of
course, only Muslims get this kind of preferential treatment.
