Today’s FBI release of the Hilary Clinton papers produces more
questions than answers: Ironically,
earlier this week FBI’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 said this release was a summary of former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton’s July 2, 2016 interview with the FBI concerning
allegations that classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on
a personal e-mail server she used during her tenure.
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 on The Vault, the FBI’s electronic FOIA
library.
