FBI Finds 14,900 More Documents From Hillary Clinton's Email Server (go.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from ABC News: The FBI uncovered nearly 15,000 more emails and materials sent to or from Hillary Clinton as part of the agency's investigation into her use of private email at the State Department. The documents were not among the 30,000 work-related emails turned over to the State Department by her attorneys in December 2014. The State Department confirmed it has received "tens of thousands" of personal and work-related email materials -- including the 14,900 emails found by the FBI -- that it will review. At a status hearing Monday before federal Judge Emmett Sullivan, who is overseeing that case, the State Department presented a schedule for how it would release the emails found by the FBI. The first group of 14,900 emails was ordered released, and a status hearing on Sept. 23 "will determine the release of the new emails and documents," Sullivan said. "As we have previously explained, the State Department voluntarily agreed to produce to Judicial Watch any emails sent or received by Secretary Clinton in her official capacity during her tenure as secretary of state which are contained within the material turned over by the FBI and which were not already processed for FOIA by the State Department," said State Department spokesman Mark Toner in a statement issued Monday. "We can confirm that the FBI material includes tens of thousands of non-record (meaning personal) and record materials that will have to be carefully appraised at State," it read. "State has not yet had the opportunity to complete a review of the documents to determine whether they are agency records or if they are duplicative of documents State has already produced through the Freedom of Information Act" said Toner, declining further comment.

Elect Trump for Honest Government

[CajunArson]

Not because he's necessarily more honest than Hillary but simply because 95% of the press will refuse to give him a free pass for literally everything he does.

If Hillary gets elected then press-protected official bribery becomes the new "normal".

I'm deciding on which of my "A Plague on Both Your Parties" vote I'm going to indulge in this year. Both candidates are absolutely unacceptable in a "I don't care who they're running against" sense.

Of course, since I'm in a state that's going to give all its electoral votes to Hillary no matter what, I can afford to stick to my principles without any consideration of it making any difference in the outcome. I won't judge the decisions of anyone whose situation is different.

One advantage a Trump administration would have over a Clinton administration is that it would be short. Trump does not seem to have any more capacity to understand that laws apply to him than Hillary does... maybe even less. However, Trump is hated by most of the news media, most of the Republicans in the House and Senate, and all of the Democrats. The very first thing he does that can be construed as a "high crime or misdemeanor", and impeachment in the House proceeding to removal from office by the Senate will proceed at Warp Factor 10.

Hillary, by contrast, the Democrats will not vote to remove her even if she's performing daily human sacrifices to Cthulhu on the White House lawn.

Don't expect them before the election

None of Hillary Clinton's work-related emails discovered by the FBI after being deleted from her private server have been released, raising questions about whether any will be seen in public before Election Day.

Re:Hillary for prison!

[lgw]

Of course she had intent. She used a personal email server to avoid this very event. Now it is happening anyway.

Of course, it will be whitewashed anyway, too.

While I agree she's dirtier than a coal miner working overtime, "what difference, at this point, does it make". We've established pretty thoroughly that she's above the law, so why is the FBI even continuing this farce? Further budget negotiations? I had assumed that FBI and DOJ had secured the appropriate monetary concessions from the coming Clinton budget when Justice announced no intent to bring charges. This is just baffling.

Appraisals

[ScentCone]

The people at State who have to appraise this material are the ones she was supposed to turn ALL of her co-mingled material over to on the day she left office. State's archivists are the ones who are supposed to weed through and figure out what's personal and what's not when someone in her role chooses to make everything personal. If she'd actually followed the rules and delivered all of it to them years ago as she was supposed to, she could have spent a solid year or two talking down all of the conflicts of interest and signs of corruption between her family business and access to her and her power as SoS and have Clinton-ed most of it into "the past" by now. She's got only herself to blame for deliberately ignoring her departure requirements, and then for slow-walking and hiding all of this stuff until it had to be pried out by the damn FBI and through suits pointing out FOIA shenanigans.

State will now say that it will take until next year to review this new material - plenty of time to stonewall and foot-drag past November. Her supporters are still running around claiming she hasn't once lied about any of this, and that nothing inappropriate to a private home-based mail server ever passed through her hands, despite the FBI pointing out the opposite.

Re:Criminal

This is ONLY because the system has been rigged by the two parties to be a two party system.

Imagine for a second, that NO party affiliation marking for office holders appeared on the ballot, and all you saw were names.

So, instead of Hillary Clinton (D) - it was just "Hillary Clinton"

And all the idiot (D) and (R) voters who know NOTHING about actual candidates randomly picked whomever from the list of 5 - 8 names on the ballot, how that would spread the vote out, so that no person ever got to 50%.

Imagine for a second, that ONLY two or three people were on the ballot for the General Election, having secured those positions by voting in the primary (completely open none-partisan) election where no party was ever mentioned.

Imagine then, the following, California primary for President, has the primary winners being Hillary and Bernie, with Jill Stein as third place (and qualified for Nov), and Texas has Trump and Cruz and possibly Hillary, and Florida, Trump, Rubio and Bernie. And Ohio for Kasich, Hilary and Bernie ...

Now, imagine how the ENTIRE population is properly represented, rather than the crappy choices we have today between Dumb and Dumber, and two third party candidates that people WANT to vote for, but are too afraid that it might mean Hillary or Donald actually wins.

I mean, if EVERYONE I know, who is voting, but is voting not FOR someone, but rather to keep the OTHER out actually voted for Gary Johnson (L), he would win in a landslide. So, if you aren't voting FOR someone, please vote FOR Gary Johnson.

Re:What Bothers You About It?

[jeff4747]

First, those of us who have had security clearances are well aware we would be in prison if we had done something similar. Dual-track justice systems are not popular.

Second, It's a giant fucking land mine that could easily install Trump.

There's a lot of hints about "pay for play" at State via the Clinton Foundation. Give the CF a pile of money, and you get goodies from the State department. Like approval for arms sales, or removing your country from certain lists so your literal slave labor factories sell goods to the US.

While no "smoking gun" on pay-for-play has yet been found, there's still quite a mountain to go through just in Clinton emails. The FBI and two US Attorneys are investigating the foundation itself....And the foundation can't seem to pass an audit (IIRC, the foundation has "corrected" 5 years of tax returns so far). All of that could explode if "bad" emails are found.

There's also certain "unsavory" diplomatic actions, like turning the condemnation of the coup in Honduras into support for the coup. An "unfortunate" email on that subject could be a problem with a certain gigantic demographic group the Democratic party is increasingly reliant upon.

Finally, it's just a really, really, really fucking stupid decision. And presidents who make really, really, really fucking stupid decisions are not good for our country (see: Bush, George W).

Re:How hard is it to find emails?

[budgenator]

Trust me, they could easily have all of the emails, the Russians have them and the NSA has them; the fly in the ointment is the chain of custody and the fruit of the tainted tree. Very probably there is a team at the FBI that has all of them, and a cleanroom team that only has access to what is admissible.

They'll just keep tugging away at loose threads as they find them until the whole thing unravels, this is SOP in RICO investigations. Keep everything on the down-low, Clinton's narcissism, will make her think she's getting away with it. The FBI will have enough on her cronies to neutralize the fear she'll drag them down with her. Eventually they'll have enough to seize Clinton Foundation assets and records. No dirt on others and no money, she'll be done. Maybe even Soros will get tangled up in the net.
