    Attempt to hack email server stunned Clinton aide, FBI files show

    By Gregg Re | Fox News

    "omg."

    That was the three-letter response from top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin -- familiar Internet shorthand for "Oh my God!" -- when Justin Cooper, the technology pro overseeing Clinton's private home-based email servers, told her shortly after midnight on Jan. 9, 2011, that "someone was trying to hack us."

    The revelation was contained in a trove of newly released, partially redacted FBI documents from the agency's investigation into whether Clinton mishandled classified information -- a probe known as the "Midyear Exam." The document release reveals numerous episodes in which the Clinton team either suspected it had been hacked or seemingly acknowledged that security measures had come up short.

    In a tense email exchange, Cooper wrote to Abedin at 2:57 a.m. Sunday: "I had to shut down the server. Someone was trying to hack us and while they did not get in i didnt want to let them have the chance to. I will restart in the morning."

    At 6:30 the next morning, Abedin wrote to State Department officials -- including Clinton's chief of staff at the time, Cheryl Mills -- "Don't email hrc [Hillary Rodham Clinton] anything sensitive. I can explain more in person."

    "omg."

    — Clinton aide Huma Abedin, when told of hacking attempt
    Later that year, Cooper wrote to Clinton, "It is a constant fight to keep up with the security measures and unfortunately we keep seeing reminders of why we need to."

    And in August 2010, according to the documents, Clinton aide Monica Hanley wrote to Abedin after receiving a suspect spam email: "Yeah I wonder if someone hacked in. that stinks."

    DOJ REACHED AGREEMENT WITH CLINTON LAWYERS TO BLOCK FBI ACCESS TO CLINTON FOUNDATION EMAILS, STRZOK SAYS

    The files also included the handwritten notes of agents' March 2016 interview with Cooper, who described the presence of a “SCIF” — an acronym "sensitive compartmented information facility" -- in Clinton's Chappaqua, N.Y., and Washington, D.C., homes.

    According to Cooper's comments as described in the notes, the server rooms in both locations were often left exposed.

    “Open door — not always secured, sometimes when HRC not @ residence was not closed. (both resid)," the notes said.

    The interview document also said Cooper described "safes" in at least one of the SCIFs, followed by a note from the agent, "No understanding of when open/closed" -- although it was unclear whether that comment referred to the safes or the doors leading to the server room.

    There were "home computers" but "no secure computers" in the SCIFs, according to the notes. However, "phone/fax/video" were "secure" in the residences.

    Cooper, a previous FBI report said, acknowledged at least "two instances where he destroyed Clinton's old mobile phones by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer."


    In August, it was reported that a Chinese state-owned company hacked Clinton’s email server, then inserted code that forwarded a copy of virtually every email she sent or received after that -- a revelation President Trump demanded be investigated.

    Former FBI lawyer admits being told to go easy on Hillary Clinton
    Lisa Page said the Obama administration's Justice Department advised the FBI not to pursue the gross negligence statute for Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information; chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reports.

    The Daily Caller reported that the firm operating in the D.C. area wrote code that was then embedded in the server and generated a “courtesy copy” for almost all her emails -- which were then forwarded to the Chinese company.

    The code reportedly was discovered in 2015 by the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), which then warned FBI officials of the intrusion. A source briefed on the matter confirmed to Fox News the details of The Caller’s reporting, and said that the ICIG was so concerned by the revelation that officials drove over to the FBI to inform agents -- including agent Peter Strzok, seen as a strong Trump critic -- of the development after it was discovered via the emails' metadata.

    The source told Fox News the hack was from a Chinese company, describing it as a front for Chinese intelligence.

    A second source briefed on the matter told Fox News that officials outside the FBI indicated code on the Clinton server suggested a foreign source was receiving copies of emails in real time.

    However, a May 2016 email from Strzok, obtained by Fox News last year, said “we know foreign actors obtained access” to some Clinton emails, including at least one “secret” message “via compromises of the private email accounts” of Clinton staffers.


    Fox News' Adam Shaw contributed to this report.

    Clinton Foundation whistleblowers have come forward with hundreds of pages of evidence, Meadows says
    By Samuel Chamberlain, Catherine Herridge | Fox News

    Clinton Foundation whistleblowers come forward, Rep. Meadows says
    Three people have come forward with hundreds of pages of evidence of potential wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation.

    Three people have come forward with hundreds of pages of evidence of potential wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation, including misappropriation of funds and allegations of quid-pro-quo promises made to donors during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., told Fox News on Thursday.

    Meadows, the leader of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, is also the chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations. The panel is set to hold an investigative hearing next week on the status of the Foundation case.

    U.S. Attorney John Huber was tasked to investigate the foundation last year by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

    The Clinton Foundation consistently has maintained that it is a charity, and never traded on Hillary Clinton's position as America's top diplomat, which she held from 2009-2013. The organization has a four-star rating from the watchdog site Charity Navigator and has touted its mission "to create economic opportunity, improve public health, and inspire civic engagement and service."

    Report: FBI raids home of Clinton Foundation whistleblower
    Mike Huckabee and Tammy Bruce weigh on corruption inside the Clinton Foundation.

    However, The Hill reported Thursday that prosecutors working for Huber recently requested documents from a private investigative firm that also has been looking into the foundation. The firm, MDA Analytics LLC, reportedly has contacted the IRS, the Justice Department and the FBI's Little Rock office with evidence from its own investigation.

    In addition, The Hill reported that a whistleblower submission filed with the FBI and IRS in August 2017 included internal legal reviews that the Clinton Foundation conducted between 2008 and 2011. Those reviews raised concerns about legal compliance and improper mingling of personal and charity business.

    MAJOR MUELLER SENTENCE FILINGS IMMINENT AS COMEY GIRDS FOR TESTIMONY BEFORE HOUSE GOP

    According to the Hill report, MDA investigators met with Clinton Foundation CFO Andrew Kessel in late November 2016. During the meeting, Kessel said that "one of the biggest problems was [former President Bill] Clinton’s commingling and use of business and donated funds and his personal expenses." A separate interview memo stated that Bill Clinton "mixes and matches his personal business with that of the foundation. Many people within the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and there really is no talking to him."

    Last week, Fox News reported that newly filed tax documents showed donations to the Clinton Foundation plunged in the wake of Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. The filings showed that the foundation took in $26.6 million in 2017, a 58 percent drop from the $62.9 million it received the previous year.

    ROGER STONE EXPLAINS WHY HE'S PLEADING THE FIFTH IN RUSSIA PROBE

    A spokesman for the foundation told The New York Post the drop was “largely attributable to the absence of sponsorship and membership contributions for [the Clinton Global Initiative]", which wrapped up in 2016. However, Meadows said that the donation drop "raises grave concerns their operations were not above board as the American people have been led to believe.

    "Whenever we look at the possibility of 'pay to play' by government officials, current or former, it demands answers," Meadows added, "and anyone who uses public office to sell access for their own financial benefit must be held accountable."

    I don't know - in late breaking news that Maris and Fox apparently don't know about, the Democrats have taken over the House, so Meadows is no longer the chairman of that subcommittee. SAD!

    Inspector general probing role of Trump dossier in securing surveillance warrant for aide

    By Catherine Herridge, Alex Pappas | Fox News

    The Justice Department’s inspector general, as part of a long-running internal review, is focusing on how the Democrat-funded anti-Trump dossier was used to secure surveillance warrants for a former Trump campaign adviser in 2016, despite questions about its credibility.

    A source familiar with the matter confirmed to Fox News that Justice Department IG Michael Horowitz is probing how the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele was used to secure the original surveillance warrant for former Trump aide Carter Page in October 2016, as well as for three renewals.


    The focus is part of Horowitz’s investigation into alleged surveillance abuses during the 2016 campaign.

    The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Horowitz is close to concluding his inquiry into the genesis of the Russia probe. The report said Horowitz’s team has questioned why the FBI considered Steele a credible source, and why the bureau seemed to use news reports to bolster Steele’s credibility.

    With Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report now out in the open, attention has returned to the salacious and unverified anti-Trump dossier authored by Steele -- especially since its more sensational claims were not substantiated by Mueller's team.


    CONTROVERSIAL STEELE DOSSIER BACK IN SPOTLIGHT AFTER MUELLER REPORT'S RELEASE

    Former FBI Director James Comey has also faced renewed scrutiny for his role, as the inspector general as well as Attorney General Bill Barr examine the origins of the probe.

    Barr testified recently that "spying" did occur against the Trump campaign.


    Comey dismissed Barr’s comments at the time, saying he “never thought of” electronic surveillance as “spying.”

    But Comey was put on the defensive again following a recent New York Times report detailing FBI efforts to investigate the Trump campaign.

    The FBI reportedly sent a woman to meet with then-adviser George Papadopoulos at a bar in London during the campaign. The woman, who identified herself as Azra Turk, asked Papadopoulos point-blank if Trump was collaborating with Russians to swing the 2016 election.


    Trump himself singled out Comey in an interview last week with Fox News.

    JAMES COMEY, A MEDIA STAR AFTER TRUMP FIRED HIM 2 YEARS AGO, NOW DOGGED BY 'SPYING' ACCUSATIONS AGAINST FBI

    “Look, I think what they should be focusing on is how did this mess start?” Trump told Fox News' Catherine Herridge. “How did this whole investigation start, because I think it’s corrupt as hell.”

    Of Comey, he said: "I think that he did a terrible job. I would say he probably ... led some kind of an effort. The word spying has been used. He probably was one of the people leading the effort on spying."

    It's for certain this will bear fruit. You'd think after hundreds and hundreds of failures the far Right would succeed at something. So, what? Any day now?
