3 Sources say an effort was made to wipe Clinton's hard drive. FBI is optimistic it can recover some data. -@REspositoNBC @PeteWilliamsNBC

As unbelievable as this seems apparently Hillary Clinton was not prepared for the most transparently obvious question that would be asked?

(Via NBC) The FBI may be able to recover at least some data from Hillary Clinton’s private email server even though there was an attempt to wipe it, two sources with direct knowledge of the process told NBC News on Tuesday. (more…)

Given the history of Clinton debate into the meaning of “is” we can only imagine the level of professional obfuscation that will surround the meaning of : “Classified”, “Secret”, “Top Secret” etc.

(Via Washington Times) While media coverage has focused on a half-dozen of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal emails containing sensitive intelligence, the total number of her private emails identified by an ongoing State Department review as having contained classified data has ballooned to 60, officials told The Washington Times.
That figure is current through the end of July and is likely to grow as officials wade through a total of 30,000 work-related emails that passed through her personal email server, officials said. The process is expected to take months. (more…)

This is what you get when you isolate yourself in the bunker surrounded by sycophants, and discuss strategy to improve the perception of being untrustworthy. Really quite remarkable even for a Clinton:

(Via Daily Caller) – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton entrusted her email server to an IT firm that was not cleared to handle classified materials, according to the chief spokesman for the Defense Security Service.
The DSS is an arm of the Defense Department and is the only federal agency authorized to approve private sector company access to sensitive or confidential material.
The agency reviews and approves private contractors to assure they have secure facilities and approves security clearances for employees to clear them for access to sensitive or classified materials.
Since 2013, Clinton used Platte River Networks, a small Denver-based company, to upgrade and maintain her private email server at her home in Chappaqua, New York.
About 13,000 companies have received FCL or facility-wide clearance.  But Platte River is not one of them. (more…)

When you see the words “Clinton” and “Stripper” in a sentence it’s easy to get confused.  However, this example is the other Clinton.
If the labeled “TOP SECRET” information ENTERED the State Department, which it did; and the same labeled “TOP SECRET” information was subsequently sent to Hillary, which it was; then how exactly did the classification of “TOP SECRET” get removed inside her private email system.
WASHINGTON DC – The latest revelations about top secret information traversing Hillary Clinton’s private email server have triggered accusations that someone in her “inner circle” likely stripped the classification markings, illegally.

The claims come after the Clinton campaign stuck to the argument that the Democratic presidential candidate, while secretary of state, never dealt with emails that were “marked” classified at the time.
“Hillary only used her personal account for unclassified email. No information in her emails was marked classified at the time she sent or received them,” campaign Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri said in a statement to supporters Wednesday. (more…)

Synaptic splodey head moments happening so fast you’d think their car was driving down a highway covered in bubble wrap….  (must watch)

(Via RCP) […] The legal and bureaucratic wheels will keep turning, and they will grind exceedingly fine. Since classified information was on the server, the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, and other intelligence services will be tasked with going through thousands of documents. (more…)

Just because the cat had kittens in the oven, that don’t make em’ biscuits !

First Hillary said there was no classified information contained within her emails; then the narrative changed to there was nothing classified “at the time” it was on her email server; which later evolved to there was nothing “labeled” as classified when her communications were exclusively on her personal email system.  Now it is revealed that TOP SECRET classified information was contained in her communication.   The saga continues...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton relented Tuesday to months of demands she relinquish the personal email server she used while secretary of state, directing the device be given to the Justice Department.
The decision advances the investigation into the Democratic presidential front-runner’s use of a private email account as the nation’s top diplomat, and whether classified information was improperly sent via and stored on the home-brew email server she ran from her house in suburban New York City.
Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said she has “pledged to cooperate with the government’s security inquiry, and if there are more questions, we will continue to address them.” (more…)

You know the issues.  You are aware of the deception, deceit and basic reasoning for the private email communication network. Here’s the backstory of the Judicial request:
