A State Department investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email account found no widespread effort by her aides or other staffers to mishandle classified information
on the probe finalized last month seemed to dismiss the notion that the system was routinely used to discuss matters that diplomats or Clinton aides knew required handling through secure channels.“While there were some instances of classified information being inappropriately introduced into an unclassified system in furtherance of expedience, by and large, the individuals interviewed were aware of security policies and did their best to implement them in their operations,” the report said.
Clinton allies have bitterly complained about Comey’s statement as a breach of Justice Department protocol. A Justice Department inspector general review backed up that view. Grassley’s office released the Bureau of Diplomatic Security's report publicly on Friday. A Grassley spokesman had no comment on State’s findings.
That finding seems open to dispute because while Clinton was secretary, State’s official, unclassified email system was repeatedly breached by Russian intruders, according to officials. Cybersecurity officials became so concerned that Russia had compromised the official system that it was at one point shut down for a weekend to try to rid it of viruses and digital taps.
