State Department Ramps up Investigation Into Hillary’s Emails

The State Department has reportedly ramped up its investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server, an issue that took center stage during the 2016 presidential election.

According to the Washington Post, the State Department has called in 130 officials who had access to Clinton’s email inbox. The officials ranged from low-level employees to senior officials who reported directly to Clinton. Former aides were sent letters letting them know that their emails were retroactively deemed “classified” and sharing that information could be deemed a security violation.

The investigation began 18 months ago, fizzled out and then was picked back up in August. Senior officials at the Department say they have followed standard protocol. Because the investigation began in the later days of the Obama administration, it is just now coming to an end. . .

“This has nothing to do with who is in the White House,” an anonymous senior State Department official told the Post. “This is about the time it took to go through millions of emails, which is about 3½ years.”

“The process is set up in a manner to completely avoid any appearance of political bias,” a second official told the Post. (Read more from “State Department Ramps up Investigation Into Hillary’s Emails” HERE)
