State Department Identifies ‘Multiple Violations’ Concerning Clinton Emails

  19 Jun 2019

In a dramatic turn on the Democrats’ Mueller Report based screaming for the impeachment of President Trump, Fox News is reporting that the State Department has identified “multiple security incidents” involving current or former employees’ handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails, and that 23 “violations” and seven “infractions” have been issued as part of the department’s ongoing investigation.

The information came in a letter to Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who is responsible for overseeing the security review.

“To this point, the Department has assessed culpability to 15 individuals, some of whom were culpable in multiple security incidents,” Mary Elizabeth Taylor, the State Department’s Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Legislative Affairs, wrote to Grassley. “DS has issued 23 violations and 7 infractions incidents. … This number will likely change as the review progresses.”

Upon hearing of the revelations, President Trump tweeted, “Wow!  The State Department said it has identified 30 Security Incidents involving current or former employees and their handling of Crooked Hillary Clinton’s Emails. @FoxNews This is really big. Never admitted before. Highly Classified Material. Will the Dems investigate this?”

A Serious Matter

According to Fox, the State Department, calling the matter “serious,” said it expected to conclude the investigation by Sept. 1. The department acknowledged that the probe was unusually time-consuming.

“Given the volume of emails provided to the Department from former Secretary Clinton’s private email server, the Department’s process has been necessarily more complicated and complex requiring a significant dedication of time and resources,” Taylor wrote.

Taylor also noted that disciplinary consequences were pending. The State Department declined to release the names of the employees, consistent with its procedures. The department promised another update once its review is completed.

The State Department bombshell comes on the heels of a trove of partially redacted FBI documents that were released last month from the agency’s investigation into whether Clinton mishandled classified information. That probe, known as the “Midyear Exam,” revealed that top Clinton aides were shocked at apparent attempts to hack her private email servers.

 

The document release revealed numerous episodes in which the Clinton team either suspected it had been hacked or seemingly acknowledged that security measures had come up short.

As President Trump officially launches his re-election campaign with to chanting crowds echoing the fervor of his 2016 campaign, will there also be repeated chants of “Lock Her Up.”
