The FBI cover up of Obama's contacts with Clinton on her unsecured device while in Russia

Lee Smith:

Horowitz’s report is referring to a draft of Comey’s speech dated June 30, 2016, at 9:50 a.m., which states:

[Clinton] also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including from the territory of sophisticated adversaries. That use included an email exchange with the President while Secretary Clinton was on the territory of such an adversary. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email.

In the draft circulated at 4:24 p.m. the same day, the reference to the president, as the IG report remarks, “was changed to ‘another senior government official,’ and ultimately was omitted.”

Perhaps as significant as the FBI’s efforts to insulate Obama is its decision to conceal the identity of the foreign adversary. Documents that American Greatness has assembled working with an independent researcher, the pseudonymous Twitter user “Undercover Huber,” strongly suggest that the country in question is Russia. Further, it was the president, Barack Obama, who initiated contact with Clinton on her unsecure server while she was there.

Clinton’s itinerary as Secretary of State shows that from June 28 to 29, 2012 she was in St. Petersburg, Russia for the APEC Women and the Economy Forum.

According to a response to a Freedom of Information Act application from Judicial Watch, on June 28, 2012, Obama emailed Clinton. On the same date, Clinton replied to Obama. A third email Judicial Watch sought was a July 1, 2012 communication to Clinton from her State Department assistant Monica Hanley. It is that last email that the FBI asked Clinton about in her July 2, 2016 interview with the Bureau regarding her server.

The record of Clinton’s FBI interview, known as a 302 (declassified Sept 2, 2016) shows that the FBI interviewers were focused on a July 1 email that was forwarded to Clinton. The 302 states: “After reviewing an email dated July 1, 2012 with subject line ‘FW: Congratulations!,’ CLINTON stated she received no particular guidance as to how she should use the President’s email address REDACTED@who.eop.gov. Since the foregoing email was sent from Russia (emphasis added), CLINTON stated she must have sent it from the plane.”

At the time of the Obama-Clinton exchange, Clinton was still using a server in the basement of her house in Chappaqua, New York. According to the FBI’s July 2016 summary report of the Clinton email investigation, the bureau found that on January 5, 2013, the Clinton server was compromised, via the account of a staffer working for former President Bill Clinton. The FBI doesn’t know who did it, or how. The IG report does not explain if or how this episode may be related to the hostile actors who may have accessed Clinton’s server.

There are many facts and details regarding both investigations that still need to come to light. In the meantime, it is becoming increasingly difficult not to conclude that the Russia probe was, at least in part, an operation designed to control the inevitable damage that would have afflicted the Clinton campaign had her emails surfaced. Of particular concern, it seems, was the email showing that she and Obama had communicated over an unsecured server while she was on Russian territory.

The identity of the foreign adversary that serves as the entire premise of the Trump investigation was suppressed in the Clinton probe. It seems important to know why.

There appear to be cover ups of coverups in this investigation and the attacks on the Trump campaign also appear to be tied to a cover up of Clinton's illegal use of devices that were not secure.   Perhaps this also explains why the FBI has refused to provide Congress with teh documents used to start their investigation of Trump's campaign.
