An
interesting article by DEBRA HEINE where she discusses a potentially explosive
nugget from the FBI's Friday document dump of investigatory notes from the
Clinton email probe -which of course has been all but ignored by the media.
According
to this scoop, Hillary Clinton apparently deleted 1,000 work-related emails
between herself and General David Petaeus from his time as the director of the
United States Central Command – Petaeus was indicted for mishandling emails and
confidential information, go figure.
Via
the Washington Examiner:
In
Aug. 2015, the Pentagon called the State Department and informed an unnamed
official there that "CENTCOM records showed approximately 1,000
work-related emails between Clinton's personal email and General David
Petraeus."
The
FBI noted that "[m]ost of those 1,000 emails were not believed to be
included in the 30,000 emails" that Clinton turned over to the State
Department in Dec. 2014.
Apparently,
Hillary has long maintained that the emails her lawyers unilaterally deleted
were personal emails pertaining to "yoga routines, family vacations"
and other matters that had nothing to do with government. She repeated the
same nonsense to Congress while under oath.
In August of 2015, she signed a statement to a federal judge
declaring "under penalty of perjury" that she turned over all
work-related emails – but of course Hillary was clearly lying...
Now
we find out that 1,000 emails between Clinton and General Petraeus were not
turned over - ever.
According
to Henie, correctly, this should be a bigger story.
Petraeus
started out as the leader of U.S. Central Command and then became the director
of the CIA during Clinton's tenure as secretary of State, so not only were
those emails obviously work related, they very likely were highly classified.
As
is the case with the MSM, the implications of such an occurrence here is
staggering.
But according
to Heine, it gets worse(!)
The FBI summary also revealed that top State Department officials
were actually putting pressure on employees to hide the fact that they were
finding classified information in Clinton's emails!
According
to the FBI summary, a State Department employee, whose name was redacted, told
investigators they believed senior department officials interfered with the
screening of Clinton's emails for public release last year in a way that helped
Clinton.
The
employee, who worked on the screening process, said there was pressure to
obscure the fact they were finding classified information in the messages. John
Kirby, a State Department spokesman, said in a statement the department
"strongly disputes" the claim of interference. Clinton repeatedly
said last year she never sent or received classified information, but now says
she did not do so knowingly since the release of the FBI findings.
Spokesmen for Clinton did not respond to Reuters' questions about
the new interview summaries – and the story will probably be dropped as usual.
