FBI Ramps Up Clinton Investigation

Pouring a lot of resources into finding out what Hillary did.

Hillary Clinton’s loyal supporters continue to push the line that she is not the target of an investigation into her State Department email server, but recent actions by the FBI say otherwise. Politico notes that the Bureau is expanding its inquiry into whether Clinton broke federal laws by maintaining government information on a privately held email server. According to Tom Fuentes, a former FBI assistant director, “When you have this amount of resources going into it … I think it’s at the investigative level.”

The FBI is under no obligation to make comment or public notice of the status of its criminal investigations, but a high ranking State Department official, who chose to remain anonymous when talking to Politico, confirmed that they were interviewed by the FBI. Also approached by federal agents with a request for documents was Tania Neild, a private consultant who put Clinton in touch with Platte River Networks, one of the companies hired to handle backups of the server data. It has not been confirmed whether Clinton’s chief of staff at State, Cheryl Mills, was contacted by the FBI. Nor has it been determined what will happen with Bryan Pagliano, the top IT person who oversaw Clinton’s server and later pleaded the Fifth when subpoenaed by Congress.

What is clear is that the FBI is proceeding with a two-pronged strategy — finding out how the data on the server was received, used and disseminated; and determining the order of classification of the data and how it was handled by the State Department.

The outcome of the inquiry/investigation/whatever is far from certain. The Clintons are experts at dodging bullets, but their luck may run out sooner or later. And with this being an election year in what is likely to be the last shot Hillary Clinton will ever get at the White House, just how heated will this scandal become? And who will pay the price?
