A State Department investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email account found no widespread effort by her aides or other staffers to mishandle classified information

on the probe finalized last month seemed to dismiss the notion that the system was routinely used to discuss matters that diplomats or Clinton aides knew required handling through secure channels.“While there were some instances of classified information being inappropriately introduced into an unclassified system in furtherance of expedience, by and large, the individuals interviewed were aware of security policies and did their best to implement them in their operations,” the report said.

Clinton allies have bitterly complained about Comey’s statement as a breach of Justice Department protocol. A Justice Department inspector general review backed up that view. Grassley’s office released the Bureau of Diplomatic Security's report publicly on Friday. A Grassley spokesman had no comment on State’s findings.

That finding seems open to dispute because while Clinton was secretary, State’s official, unclassified email system was repeatedly breached by Russian intruders, according to officials. Cybersecurity officials became so concerned that Russia had compromised the official system that it was at one point shut down for a weekend to try to rid it of viruses and digital taps.

sherrilee7 Widespread? I see you

Wonderful! Now Bill Barr can start his wide-ranging investigation into how Hillary’s e-mail server found its way to Ukraine.

Enough already. Ridiculous. Trump does far worse than delete emails each and every day

realDonaldTrump should be sure his 'followers' (as in Jim Jones-esque) read this.

Politico=DemocratSlaveryParty Tool.

BS, they are the ones who sign the department regulations and enforce them, can’t tell me they didn’t know a private server was no place for government emails

Not buying it!

Does that include her Bleachbit?!?

Pixter13 You know what was exposed via Hilary’s emails that Hilary and the dnc rigged the primaries and should be in jail for committing fraud against dem constituents- I feel like.. the above is more important then how she handled emails-just a thought

600 separate violations and nobody in the State Dept. noticed...um...that leaves just one conclusion: Everyone in the Clinton State Dept. was incompetent. Forgive anyone that thinks this is just another example of the elite protecting their own. ClintonEmails

Shocker

Ordinary people: get thrown in jail for personal amounts of marijuana, in many states Hillary: gets out of being accountable for literally anything.

'The Sky is made of cheese.' -Politico

What?

This didn't somehow erase the fact that Hillary mishandled 100+ classified emails including TOP SECRET and Special Access Program material and then lie to the American people about it. This doesn't erase that she hid email from FOIA & oversight as the sitting Secretary of State.

🇺🇸Yeah we know💙

Hillary, is still the best candidate in the field of Presidential candidates. Such a travesty that the Republicans foisted Trump on us & support him to this today betting our country’s health & welfare, loosing the dogs of war, stirring upheaval worldwide & enriching themselves.

Such a joke! There was never any evidence of wrong doing except the Trump campaign effort to denigrate her.

old news

NEW: State Department has finished its Clinton email review. Said in a Sept. 13 report that nearly 600 security violations were identified.

I wonder the percentage of American citizens that trust anything the State Department or FBI says. People have been thrown in Federal prison for a lot less than what she did.

Of course it was deliberate. If a regular person commits a crime, they are still charged and prosecuted. A drink driver doesn't intend on killing anyone so they shouldn't be charged? Ridiculous.

Stop insulting the nation's intelligence! Bleach bit hard drives and smashing phones wasn't about mishandling emails you think were stupid. It was the evidence of corruption that was being destroyed.

Bull shit

588 violations were found. 38 people could face criminal charges. “No widespread efforts.” Whatevs.

Lol...yeah, Politico, we certainly believe what you say. EnemyOfThePeople

I mean could you guys be a little honest in the headline? The whole problem was that setting up her own private server put classified information at risk. Which it did. 91 times (no including the 30k deleted).

hear the news last week that the e-mails are being 'retroactively' classified? career state dept. staff are being questioned again- this IS NOT about Hillary, it's about harassing & smearing dedicated, career employees- the kind that would notice an admin doing unlawful things

State department communists

How many investigations now has she been cleared by? 12? 15?

So now all of you go on a right wing media outlet and see what they say and then meet in the middle.

Coming from politico we will have to see what is really true...

C71Marie ...TRUMP AND HIS ASSOCIATES USE UNSECURE COMMUNICATION DEVICES FOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY DAILY......

StateDept is already investigating POTUS because Barr doesn’t know when trump is going to treat him like shๆt and throw him under the bus. Sมit will hit the fan soon

Guess she 'DELEATED' ALL That 'INCRIMINATED' HER SUCCESSFULLY...

Hillary could behead a child on live tv and they would call it extreme carelessness.

That’s too bad. Maybe the AG will, find SOMETHING during his international quest to find illegalities on a Democrat. Maybe they missed SOMETHING in Benghazi. I’m certain this AG can finally prove Obama is not a citizen. Maybe Gowdy can assist him.

Get over it already

Look at that expression on her face,love it,love it,love it. Bet she didn't think that all her bullying wasn't going to bite her in the ass.Her smuggness cost her the election in 2016.Truly wish she would jump into 2020 !!!!!

Duh!! These idiots waste our tax money

Thank you. 😉

nearly 600 violations were made and up to 38 people involved with the scheme could face criminal charges.

Sen. Grassley reports final review found 38 employees culpable for 91 separate security violations plus 497 more violations for which no individual was found culpable.

You people are lunatics...the law was violated...the law was broken...they should be in prison

You left out the word....AGAIN AGAIN they found nothing! Just like Obama was born in USA. What is wrong with these people? GOPComplicitTraitors

The WITCHHUNT is over. On to ImpeachTheMFTraitor more flipping! More WhistleblowerComplaint more BloodOnTrumpsHands

Being corrupt and stupid aren't mutually exclusive

Well DUH! 😡 of course not!

She and her staff broke the rules. Should be held accountable like every other normal person

No intent oh yeah not guilty when you destroy data and smash phones. Give me a break she knew what she was doing

Whoa! What brought this up again?

Took no effert at all. Comes natural to leftists

Please clear her for another permanent DEFEAT by Trump.

Not surprised. The Republican Party is crooked and always has been. Losers always fight dirty, because THATS all they know how to do to get things THEY want. Bury the Republican Party FOREVER. Put as many as possible IN JAIL. They deserve NOTHING less.

Huh. No shit?

The state department is corrupt so of course they will say this. Duh 🙄

How many years are we going to have to beat this dead dog to death?

AGAIN!

Violations and infractions mean they were doing something wrong. So.... they were sending classified info all around the place not in a proper or safe manner. Dangerous and sick. I hope they all get termed if still employed. They knew what they did and didn’t come clean

But!!!! She did use an illegal server!! Right Find the emails!!

Now do Ivanka !!

That's rich... Except for the 38 caught mishandling classified info.

🤣😂😅😂

TeamTrump TrumpWarRoom realDonaldTrump GOP GOPChairwoman GOPLeader but but but her EMAILS

This is NOT a DOJ report...and there are still emails Hillary did not turn over...

unfortunately, we still have at least 10 more investigations to go before the Republicans leave this alone

The IG is an Obama appointee made AFTER her screw ups. So I’d like to see the interview with Bryan Pagliano.

3fatesandgraces Nothing like a little shot of tequila to boost the effects of the chemo! Well done HRC!

So, let me see, there was no systematic effort, or malice of forethought in Hillary Clinton deleting 33,000 emails that were subpoenaed by Congress. Once again, when is the B.S. going to end?

Ha ok. But we aren’t worried about all the emails deleted. It was private server aka miss handling of classified information.

Felony charges appear to be reserved for people of the lowest ranks, not for Clinton. Clinton's investigation gives special treatment with a hammer to the hard- drive and deletion of 33,000 emails with no consequences.

Well looks like they lost that, 'talking point.'

Just in time for her to jump in the 2020 race. Deep staters gonna keep deep statin.

Only wreckless. At least that's what the FBI director testified.

How many more years are they going to keep this on the table...exhausting He needs to get over it and concentrate on impeachment

That in no way equates to no concentrated effort for her team to commit related felonies.

Time to start charging.

The TRUMP/POMPEO State Department probe of Clinton emails finds NO deliberate mishandling of classified information - PLEASE tell me this is over and this is the last we will hear about “but her emails”...

This is a blatant lie

Deep State State Department found no violations. The State Department remaing loyal the the Democrats Queen of the USA.

I’m so glad we wasted millions in taxpayer money for that 🙄

Widespread...just one is enough for us regular folk here in the Midwest. I would be jailed for a long time with just one top secret shared unsecured.

ChuckGrassley

What does it matter if was or wasn’t a ‘widespread’ effort? Isn’t any effort still an effort?

Clearly, no one actually read the article. It says no 'widespread' that doesn't mean none. 39 people with 91 violations of hundreds of instances. But since there were 33,000 emails it wasn't considered widespread statistically. Just more semantics

Whitewashed ‼️👎🏻😡🙄

🤥🤥🤥🤥

497 violations...

That's NOT TRUE. FAKENEWS

But they found out she did!! Guilty Hillary!!

Now apologize.

A fine use of tax dollars to triple check

GroundhogDay

🙄The state department. Do your research. The swamp is exonerating the swamp. Ridiculous.

Lol ok

They keep hoping Gowdy will do a time heist

💯 X 💯 x 💯 % FakeNews!!!

And this time they retroactively classified some of these emails & yet they still came up empty-handed. 🙄 Now I’d love to see the media & the FBI spend some time reporting on & investigating Jared & Ivanka’s emails. Funny how neither care as much as they did about Hillary’s.

'No deliberate mishandling' is not the standard by which anyone but Hillary would be judged. Her 'gross negligence' would put anyone else behind bars. TwoTieredJustice

Wow, reading this completely different headline from reality, one would think Comey led this investigation.....

You are the best!

Seriously? 38 ppl 91 security violations 600 plus classified emails and you say no widespread efforts. msm bias is pathetic LockHerUp LockThemAllUp Clinton knows better! What did she delete after she was subpoenaed? Thats a crime also. If this was POTUS you’d be going nuts

Did they include the missing emails AND computers dragged out of Hillary's office and her staffers' offices in the WH immediately following VinceFoster's 'suicide'? Yeah, didn't think so. 😏

Told you so

That is bull👺

Clinton investigated up the kazoo for any evidence of actual crimes. None found. GOP says “look some more.” Trump tells the world, “I did it, I’d do it again, in fact I’ll do it right now, get over it. “ GOP says, “Move on, nothin’ to see here”.

No shit.

For the 5 th time

Now, do the Trumps! 🙄

MarkP13710118 So.....deep state state department?

Oh brother.

Oh good. Then let’s recover those 30K emails then 🤔

So there is nothing deliberate about tethering your private phone to a secret server to steal top secret documents while constantly being told to use a provided secure phone instead? I'd say that is pretty damn deliberate. Besides, with Top Secrets 'deliberate' doesn't matter.

Oh FFS. We knew this already. How much did this farce cost taxpayers.

More disinformation being pimped...’Intent’ has no bearing. Period. Lock them all up...

That's a lie

And this is after they retroactively classified emailed information, in order to go after Clinton aides. EnoughIsEnough GOP needs to just stop

Fakenews

Told ya

NightShade31415 Duh!

Duh

Wanting to stay alive

Bullshit.

Well look at that.

Queen of warmongers will still follow her for a bit though.

realDonaldTrump, 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 THIS is what VINDICATION looks like!

That was the lie that lead to the 13,000 other lies told since the election.

Next

And yet they could 600 violations by 38 people... I don't care if it was intentional I want them punished... the UCMJ would bury these people..

JJFan18 So all your sensationalist headlines throughout 2015-2016 were just bull$!T?

588 violations. But no “widespread effort” though. Got it. 👌

Because they had no choice but to obey her. She led them into abuse of national security. Who on earth could possible complain about what Hillary was doing? Who do you tell - obama? Good luck with that.

Now let’s do Jared and Ivanka...

✍️WELL That was A Waste Of Tax Payers Money. Didn't James Comey AND The FBI All Ready Determine that, that there was No Intentional Wrong Doings... . Thank YOU 😘HolySpiritJesusChrist🙌

Amb0306 Get loss!

Grassley is a poster child for term limits. Old fart should get off HRC’s back!

It found almost 600 security violations.

I’d just like to take a moment and thank Comey for his stellar work in reopening man already closed case within a month of the 2016 election. 🖕🖕

More about the emails...🙄

*state department* ha. Such corruption

No just her huh?

Jfc this shit again? Nobody seems to be investigating the massive trough of corruption red flags raised by this govt yet we still have 'but her emails'

Which we knew. ImpeachTrumpPenceBarrPompeo

We knew this all along. What SHOULD be investigated is the official State Dept. email system which was so bad it drove the secretary and other employees to use other systems for email.

Of course not but we already knew that. This was a Republican WitchHunt Hopefully we learned our lesson and don’t believe the bs when Trump’s friends in Ukraine suddenly open an investigation into Biden’s son a week before the 2020 election.

HummingbirdTN77 When the hell are we going to get off this soap box? Better be concerned about the current administration and their criminal activities.

Hmmmmm

Fake news omg

That makes 9 hearings & reports - Can this be done already?

Yeah, we know, but thanks for confirming it, repeatedly, over and over again. Now do Ivanka’s emails.

CNN going rogue.

We’re still doing Clinton’s emails?

Yup. Just 600 totally separate and completely unrelated security violations. 😂😂😂

Asked and answered in 2016.

No effort needed, incidental or accidental mishandling is a federal offense. In the military I'd be in jail regardless if there was intent. Plus the fact she/they knowingly used a private server to send or receive classified information is also a federal offense. This is nonsense

She did nothing wrong.

Frankly, the word 'systemic' is a weasel word. If you only mishandled five out of 33K you wouldn't call it 'systemic', but that says nothing about the nature if the ones you did hide. Like Bernie, I never cared about her 'damned emails', but the usage of systemic is interesting.

And remember this is realDonaldTrump ‘s department & also 4 years of a GOP lead Benghazi investigation that produced NOTHING! ImpeachTrumpPenceBarrPompeo ImpeachAndRemove

shitebart Now perhaps they’ll have time to check out the 9000 treasonous and other illegal acts by Trump and his family

So what does she have on them?

I call bullshit

CNN even disagrees with your statement.

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley is among those who pressed the State Department to investigate the Clinton email fiasco. Grassley’s office released the report publicly today, and his spokesman had no comment on the State's findings
