Where the FBI takes the Clinton investigation is anyone's guess. That is in their control and the end result will be determined by their investigation. I have a hard time envisioning the leading candidate of the democratic party being charged, but with the politicians that are being elected today, it will not surprise me that it happens in my lifetime. Politico reported earlier this week that the FBI has ramped up its investigation. While the probe was initially characterized as a fact-finding inquiry, one former FBI official told the news outlet that it now resembles a “full-blown investigation.” The FBI is now interviewing State Department officials about whether classified information was mishandled on Clinton’s homebrew email setup. The agency has also requested documents from tech companies that Clinton hired to manage her email system. Fox had previously reported that the FBI’s investigation focused on whether Clinton’s email server — and the emails that passed through it — violated a portion of the Espionage Act pertaining to “gross negligence” in handling sensitive government information. The Intelligence Community’s inspector general has flagged two emails Clinton received on her personal email account that contained “top secret” information when they were sent. That’s in addition to more than 600 emails that the State Department has retroactively determined contain “confidential” information — the lowest classification category. Last week, it was revealed that Clinton and two of her top aides, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, had signed nondisclosure agreements pertaining to the handling of classified information just days after taking office in Jan. 2009. Signing those documents could have ramifications for the trio. Signers of the “Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement” acknowledge that “classified information is marked or unmarked classified information, including oral communications.” That undermines a claim Clinton has made while defending her use of her off-the-books email system. She’s repeatedly stated that she did not receive any emails that were “marked” classified when they were sent or received. The nondisclosure agreement seemingly nullifies Clinton’s defense. ( RELATED: Document Completely Undermines Hillary’s Classified Email Defense) Many of the emails Clinton sent and received contain foreign government information which the federal government considers to be classified upon origination. The State Department has so far insisted that none of Clinton’s emails contained information that was classified when she was in office. Clinton signed another nondisclosure agreement government the most sensitive type of classified information, “top secret/sensitive compartmented information,” or TS/SCI. In doing so, Clinton acknowledged “that the unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation.”
