The 7 key findings in the FBI’s Clinton email probe
The FBI director said Clinton’s use of an unclassified email system to handle classified information was “especially concerning” because the homebrew system was not protected by a full-time security team like the ones that protect official government servers and even commercial email services used by the general public, such as Gmail.
.. 110 individual messages and 52 email chains contained some level of classified information. Of those 52 email chains, eight contained information classified at the highest level, “top secret,” at the time they were sent.
.. Clinton’s personal email system was not one server but multiple servers, which she accessed using “numerous” mobile devices.
.. The former secretary of state stored and decommissioned her older, unused servers in various ways, creating “a painstaking undertaking, requiring thousands of hours of effort” on the part of FBI investigators piecing together her email system.
.. The FBI could find no direct evidence, Comey said, of intrusion into Clinton’s personal server by hackers, but added that the nature of her system made it unlikely that the bureau could find such evidence even if an intrusion had occurred.
