El FBI recomienda que no se presenten cargos contra Hillary Clinton por el caso de los correos

 5 JUL 2016 

El director del FBI, James Comey, anunció este martes que la agencia no va a recomendar que se presenten cargos criminales contra Hillary Clinton por su manejo de información clasificada. La investigación ha concluido que no hay pruebas que demuestren que envió ni eliminó deliberadamente mensajes clasificados, pero sí le acusó de ser “extremadamente descuidada” al emplear un correo personal durante su etapa al frente de la diplomacia estadounidense.

“Ningún fiscal razonable presentaría cargos contra ella”, declaró Comey tras explicar detalladamente todas las pruebas halladas por la agencia. “No hay pruebas que respalden una imputación criminal en este caso”, añadió el director, que sí ha reprochado a la candidata demócrata por emplear varias cuentas, servidores, gestores de correos y dispositivos móviles en sus comunicaciones mientras dirigía el Departamento de Estado. El director de la agencia ha extendido esa acusación al equipo de la entonces secretaria, pero sus conclusiones son ya una importante mancha en su apuesta para liderar la nación.

Las recomendaciones del FBI al Departamento de Justicia —la fiscal general ya ha anunciado que acatará esta decisión— tendrán un gran impacto en la campaña presidencial. El Partido Demócrata celebrará dentro de dos semanas su convención nacional en Filadelfia, donde Clinton espera sellar definitivamente su nominación. Este mismo martes, la aspirante contará además con el apoyo del presidente, Barack Obama, en un mitin en Carolina del Norte.

El portavoz de la campaña de Clinton, Brian Fallon, declaró en un comunicado que están “satisfechos” porque “este asunto ha quedado resuelto”. Fallon añadió que la candidata demócrata considera que “cometió un error al emplear su email personal y que no volvería a hacerlo”. Mientras, el candidato republicano Donald Trump ha calificado la decisión de "muy, muy injusta" y el presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, el también republicano Paul Ryan, declaró que la decisión "desafía cualquier explicación" y que, en referencia a Clinton, "ningún ciudadano debería estar por encima de la ley".

El FBI ha completado en los últimos días una investigación de más de un año en la que trató de determinar si Clinton había enviado o borrado información clasificada a través de esta cuenta, que además estaba alojada en un servidor privado en el sótano de su casa de Nueva York. La candidata, que fue interrogada por los agentes el pasado sábado, ha mantenido su inocencia a lo largo de todo este tiempo.

La agencia considera que “Clinton debería haber sabido que un sistema de correo privado no era el lugar adecuado” para albergar información gubernamental. Los investigadores encontraron hasta 110 mensajes que sí estaban clasificados en el momento en que fueron intercambiados. Mas de 2.000 de los correos que Clinton entregó al FBI han sido considerados posteriormente bajo la categoría de “confidencial” —el rango más bajo de protección— y otros 65 como “secretos”.

El FBI ha revisado más de 30.000 mensajes de correo electrónico y los distintos servidores que alojaron esas comunicaciones. También ha entrevistado a decenas de personas que colaboraron con Clinton. El FBI ha descubierto durante este proceso varias cadenas de mensajes más que estaban relacionadas con su trabajo y que contenían información clasificada, pero que no habían sido entregados por sus abogados. El director declaró este martes que no hay pruebas de que los ocultaran intencionadamente.

Comey fue especialmente duro al explicar que la candidata utilizó esta cuenta al visitar otros países y que “es posible que actores hostiles lograran acceder a ella” cuando se encontraba en el extranjero. El director ha explicado sin embargo que para poder recomendar la imputación de Clinton el FBI debía demostrar que Clinton envió o eliminó deliberadamente esos mensajes, pero no hay pruebas de ello.

El director del FBI reconoció este martes que su anuncio era “inusual” pero que quería comunicar sus recomendaciones “por el interés público” del caso, cuya importancia “requiere una mayor transparencia”. Días después de que se cuestionara la independencia de la investigación por la reunión de la fiscal general Loretta Lynch con el expresidente y marido de la candidata, Bill Clinton, Comey comenzó su declaración asegurando que no estaba “coordinado” con ninguna otra agencia gubernamental y que nadie más sabía cuáles eran sus conclusiones.

FULL James Comey: Hillary Clinton Investigation Conclusion 7/5/16


Republicans react to FBI: 'The rules are different for the Clintons'

By Burgess Everett and Nick Gass
07/05/16

 Hillary Clinton and James Comey

Republicans now have a rallying cry heading into the November elections: Hillary Clinton is above the law.

From Donald Trump to House Speaker Paul Ryan to embattled senators seeking reelection, the GOP found unity Tuesday around FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that the agency won’t recommend charges against Clinton — despite Comey’s stern rebuke of Clinton for sending classified information over her private email servers.

Republicans say that’s a double standard that Americans can’t support.

Ryan harshly criticized Comey for deeming Clinton “extremely careless” with her email server and classified material but not following through by recommending an indictment. Ryan said that based on Comey’s own words “it appears damage is being done to the rule of law.”

(Paul Ryan)

“While I respect the law enforcement professionals at the FBI, this announcement defies explanation,” Ryan said. “Declining to prosecute Secretary Clinton for recklessly mishandling and transmitting national security information will set a terrible precedent.”

Ryan also said that Americans will "reject" Clinton's "dishonesty and poor judgment," essentially predicting that Comey's admonishment of Clinton will be an animating issue in the fall elections. Indeed, Clinton is viewed unfavorably by 56 percent of respondents in surveys, according to The Huffington Post's rolling average, just 3 percentage points better than Trump.

Republicans running for Congress trumpeted Clinton’s bad news day as the latest example of Clinton’s untrustworthiness. Republicans hope to capitalize on Comey’s comments and drive up Clinton’s negative ratings further — a coordinated, nationwide GOP campaign strategy that’s shaping up to be more anti-Clinton than pro-Trump.

“The FBI’s recommendation against pursuing charges suggests that she gets to play by a different set of rules than everyone else,” said Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), who is in a tight fight for reelection against New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan. “The lives of Americans depend on the protection of classified information, and failing to enforce the law in this case sets a dangerous precedent for our national security.”

Clinton wasn’t immune to some Democratic criticism, either. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois said that he considered the issue “settled” and that the probe made clear that “there is no evidence that Secretary Clinton was ever intentionally involved in anything of a criminal nature.” But when pressed, he also said people shouldn’t “make any excuses” for Clinton’s email woes.

She “should not have been careless when it came to classified information,” Durbin told reporters at a news conference in Illinois on Tuesday, according to an account distributed by his office.

Republicans are hoping Comey’s comments are a gift that keeps giving. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who is preparing for a spirited election challenge from Democrat Patty Judge, called on Comey to release information gathered in the investigation rather than “giving the public a brief summary of his view of the facts.”

“If it wants to avoid giving the impression that the FBI was pulling punches, because many people in a similar situation would face some sort of consequence, the agency must now be more transparent than ever in releasing information gathered during its investigation,” Grassley said.

Most Democrats tried to focus on the fact that the FBI did not recommend charges against Clinton. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat on Grassley’s committee, said he now trusts the Justice Department to “make a final decision based on facts, not politics,” about whether or not to charge Clinton.

And Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), a leading contender to become Clinton’s pick for vice president, chalked up Comey’s scolding of Clinton to being a “matter of lessons learned.”

“I never believed this was going to be something in the criminal realm or even close to it,” Kaine said.

But Comey’s assessment that Clinton was “extremely careless” with classified information was enough for Republicans to run with all day Tuesday — and potentially all the way to November. Conservatives from Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina to Rep. Matt Salmon of Arizona renewed calls for a special prosecutor to take up the case.

“It has become clear that the rules are different for the Clintons than they are for everyday Americans,” Scott said. “And that must stop.”

REPORT: Hillary’s Emails Hacked by Russia – Kremlin Deciding Whether to Release 20,000 Stolen Emails (VIDEO)

Guest Post by Joe Hoft
hillary email drop out

The Kremlin is debating whether to release the 20,000 emails they have hacked off of Hillary Clinton’s server.

According to a report from four days ago, beginning in 2011, the Russians began monitoring Romanian computer hacker Marcel Lazăr Lehel (aka Guccifer) after he attempted, unsuccessfully, to break into the computer system of the Russian funded RT television network.

After monitoring Guccifer, the Russians were reportedly able to record (both physically and electronically) his actions which allowed the Russian intelligence analysts, in 2013, to not only detect his breaking into the private computer of Secretary Clinton, but also break in and copy all of its contents as well.


The report notes that shortly after Russia obtained Clinton’s emails, they released a limited amount to RT TV which were published in an article in March 2013, titled Hillary Clinton’s ‘hacked’ Benghazi emails: FULL RELEASE.

Apparently no Western journalists promoted this story in 2013.

A couple of years later, in 2016, the US then brought in Guccifer for questioning related to this incident.  According to the report, NBC news knew why Guccifer was being questioned but withheld this information from the American public.

The Associated Press reported in October 2015 that “Hillary Clinton’s private email server maintained in her home while serving as secretary of State was possibly hacked by Russia-tied authorities, and others, on five separate occasions.”

The AP report noted that investigators discovered among Clinton’s cache of released emails malicious software aimed at transmitting data to three overseas computers, including at least one in Russia. This malicious software was reportedly activated by clicking on it; but in October it was not clear if Clinton actually opened these messages or not, per the AP.

Recently separate reports have come out noting that Guccifer had indeed hacked Clinton’s emails.  Now according to this latest report, Clinton’s server was not only compromised by Guccifer but also by Russia. Guccifer told FOX News last week that he hacked Hillary’s homebrew server and so did at least 10 others.

    “There’s a debate going on in the Kremlin between the Foreign Ministry and the Intelligence Services about whether they should release the 20,000 of Mrs. Clinton’s emails that they have hacked into.”

Nota del Bloguista de Baracutey Cubano

Hillary Clinton después de estar por décadas involucrada en la política tenía que  ser capaz de determinar cuando una información  es información clasificada y tomar medidas de seguridad. Una persona que no es capaz de eso, no debe ser Presidenta de los EE-UU.. Hillary ha demostrado, una vez más, que es  mentirosa, negligente y arrogante.

Comey rebuffs Clinton claim FBI only conducting ‘security inquiry’ on emails

Hillary Clinton for months has downplayed the FBI investigation into her private email server and practices as a mere “security inquiry.”

But when asked Wednesday by Fox News about Clinton's characterization of the bureau's probe, FBI Director James Comey said he doesn’t know what "security inquiry" means -- adding, “We’re conducting an investigation. … That’s what we do.”

The FBI director reiterated that he’s “not familiar with the term security inquiry” when told that is the phrase Clinton has used.

(Director del FBI James Comey)

As for the timeline for the investigation, Comey, during a briefing with reporters, said he prefers doing the investigation “well” over promptly and said he’s not “tethered” to a schedule.

The briefing comes amid reports that FBI investigators have been meeting with top aides in Clinton’s inner circle, including Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. The interviews have stoked speculation that the investigation may soon be drawing to a close, in the heat of the 2016 political season.

Asked Wednesday if he would make a public report, regardless of whether criminal charges are pursued, Comey said he would not say at this time. But he said there are “no special set of rules for anybody that the FBI investigates.”

Clinton and her campaign team repeatedly have described the probe as a security inquiry. Most recently on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, Clinton used the term when asked how she’d respond to people worried the FBI probe is a “big deal.”

“I say what I’ve said now for many, many months,” Clinton said. “It’s a security inquiry. I always took classified material seriously. There was never any material marked classified that was sent or received by me, and I look forward to this being wrapped up.”
The FBI probe is proceeding as Clinton tries to wrap up the Democratic presidential nomination. Though she leads by hundreds of delegates, she has not yet clinched the nomination and rival Bernie Sanders is vowing to take the fight to the convention – he fueled his own underdog bid with a primary win Tuesday in West Virginia.

There appear to be several moving parts in the FBI investigation.

Former State Department IT staffer Bryan Pagliano, who installed and maintained the server, has been granted immunity by the Department of Justice and is cooperating with the FBI.

In another development, the infamous Romanian hacker known as “Guccifer,” who was extradited to the U.S. to face cyber charges, recently told Fox News he easily breached Clinton’s personal email server in early 2013.

Fox News could not independently confirm the claims. But an intelligence source told Fox News last month that Guccifer, whose real name is Marcel Lehel Lazar, could help the FBI make the case that Clinton’s email server may have been compromised by a third party. Lazar told Fox News that he spoke with the FBI at length on the plane when extradited from Romania to Virginia last month. 

Speaking from the Virginia jail where he’s being held, Lazar said the conversation was "80 minutes ... recorded," and he took his own notes. A government source confirmed that the hacker had a lot to say on the plane but provided no other details.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch also was asked earlier this week about the timeline for the Clinton email probe, but said she could not make any “prediction.”
