Sources: 99 percent chance foreign intel agencies breached Clinton server

Published November 03, 2016 

 

Authorities now believe there is about a 99 percent chance that up to five
foreign intelligence agencies may have accessed and taken emails from
Hillary Clinton’s private server, two separate sources with intimate
knowledge of the FBI investigations told Fox News.

The revelation led House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul
to describe Clinton’s handling of her email system during her tenure as
secretary of state as “treason.”

“She exposed [information] to our enemies,”
<http://video.foxnews.com/v/5195140639001/> McCaul said on “Fox & Friends”
Thursday morning. “Our adversaries have this very sensitive information. …
In my opinion, quite frankly, it’s treason.”

McCaul, R-Texas, said that FBI Director James Comey told him previously that
foreign adversaries likely had gotten into her server. When Comey publicly
discussed the Clinton email case back in July, he also said that while there
was no evidence hostile actors breached the server, it was “possible” they
had gained access.

Clinton herself later pushed back, saying the director was merely
“speculating.”

But sources told Fox News that Comey should have said at the time there is
an “almost certainty” that several foreign intelligence agencies hacked into
the server.

The claims come as Comey’s FBI not only revisits the email investigation
following the discovery of additional emails on the laptop of ex-Rep.
Anthony Weiner – the estranged husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin – but is
proceeding in its investigation of the Clinton Foundation.

That investigation has now taken a “very high priority,” sources told Fox
News. It has been proceeding for more than a year, led by the White-Collar
Crime division.

Fox News is told agents have interviewed and re-interviewed multiple people
regarding the case.

Even before the WikiLeaks dumps of alleged emails linked to the Clinton
campaign, FBI agents had collected a great deal of evidence, law enforcement
sources told Fox News.

"There is an avalanche of new information coming in every day," one source
told Fox News, adding some of the new information is coming from the
WikiLeaks documents and new emails.

FBI agents are "actively and aggressively pursuing this case," and will be
going back and interviewing the same people again, some for the third time,
sources said.

Agents also are going through what Clinton and top aides have said in
previous interviews as well as the FBI 302 documents, which agents use to
report interviews they conduct, to make sure notes line up, according to
sources.

Officials from the FBI did not immediately respond Wednesday to requests for
comment by Fox News. 

Craig Minassian, with the Clinton Foundation, told Fox News in a statement:
"We're not aware of any investigation into the Foundation by the Department
of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, or any United States Attorney's
Office and we have not received a subpoena from any of those agencies.” 

The information follows a report over the weekend by The Wall Street Journal
that four FBI field offices have been collecting information about the
foundation.

The probes – in addition to the revived email investigation – have fueled
renewed warnings from Republicans that if Clinton is elected next week, she
could take office under a cloud of investigations.

“This is not just going to go away … if she ends up winning the election,”
Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., told Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” earlier this
week.

Donald Trump has referenced this scenario, repeatedly saying on the stump
this past week that her election could trigger a "crisis.”

“It would create an unprecedented and protracted constitutional crisis,”
Trump said Wednesday in Miami.

blic-corruption-track.html> Fox News first reported in January that the FBI
investigation into Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state had
expanded to look at whether the possible “intersection” of Clinton
Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public
corruption laws.

 
<http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/31/hillary-denied-clinton-foundation-was-und

Register at the time that the claim was “without merit” and she had heard
nothing from the FBI.
