Today’s FBI release of the Hilary Clinton papers produces more
questions than answers: Ironically,
earlier this weeFBI’s Director James Comey called for an “adult conversation” regarding encryption, while
engaging in a childish one about Hilary Clinton’s use of a private email server while serving as
Secretary of State: The way he sees it, he needs more tools – perhaps to give the powerful a
pass and the less powerful a heavy hand?

The FBI characterizes this release as "a factual summary of
the FBI’s investigation into this matter......making
these materials available to the public in the interest of transparency and in response to numerous Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Appropriate redactions have been made for classified information or
other material exempt from disclosure under FOIA."

However, Representative Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the
House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, strongly disagrees. He said that the deletion of the emails violated an order his committee
issued to Mrs. Clinton in 2012 and a subpoena issued by the Benghazi committee in 2015.

Additionally, according to Senator Charles E. Grassley, who
leads the Senate Judiciary Committee,
characterized the FBI release as a selective release, that produced “an incomplete and possibly misleading
picture of the facts without the other unclassified information that is still locked away from the public and
even most congressional staff.”

Further, Hilary Clinton’s use of
BleachBit to wipe her storage devices clean, not with “a cloth or
something,”
goes to criminal intent.Additional information related to the FBI’s investigation that it will in the future will
be placed onThe Vault, the FBI’s electronic FOIA library.
