Скачать или смотреть FBI ignored sensitive Clinton emails? New docs raise questions

The FBI failed to thoroughly investigate materials about its investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.

A whistleblower gave the FBI thumb drives that "contained highly sensitive information exfiltrated from U.S. government agencies, including the Department of State, as well as then-President Barack Obama’s emails and, potentially, congressional information," but the FBI failed to review them, according to declassified materials documents from the "Clinton annex" found in the appendix of a 2018 Department of Justice Office of Inspector General report.

"This document shows an extreme lack of effort and due diligence in the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s email usage and mishandling of highly classified information," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who released the report, said in a Monday press release. ""Under Comey’s leadership, the FBI failed to perform fundamental investigative work and left key pieces of evidence on the cutting room floor. The Comey FBI’s negligent approach and perhaps intentional lack of effort in the Clinton investigation is a stark contrast to its full-throated investigation of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which was based on the uncorroborated and now discredited Steele dossier. Comey’s decision-making process smacks of political infection."

Clinton, who served as Secretary of State in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2013, was under investigation by the FBI for sharing and storing classified materials on a private email server. The FBI, headed by Director James Comey, advised against seeking criminal charges against Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, in July 2016 — just months before the presidential election.
