The State Dept had suspended its email review. So there are multiple and/or FBI report is imminent.

I'm sure everyone here has already seen that the the State Department has released their report showing that Hillary did not properly comply with regulations. Remember, though, that last month we were told that the State Department had put the email investigation on hold. From one of the reports:

State Department...halts review of Clinton emails at FBI request
...
"The FBI communicated to us that we should follow our standard practice, which is to put our internal review on hold while there is an ongoing law enforcement investigation ," State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau told reporters.

"The internal review is on hold, pending completion of the FBI's work," she added." We'll reassess next steps after the FBI's work is complete.

Does this mean that the FBI's work is complete, so they were able to continue their own investigation? The other possibility is that these were (at least) two different State Department investigations, and the one that specifically dealt with the handling of classified information was suspended while this one was not, since that same article also talks specifically about investigating "whether the information in the emails was classified at the time it passed through Clinton's private clintonemail.com account run on a server in her New York home."

Either way, it seems, this report is only the first of multiple reports...

1. Good catch

You would make a great investigator! (And no, I don't mean that sarcastically).

7. Thanks! (n/t)

2. The OIG must have discuss their findings with the FBI

so I think they put the ball in their court and the FBI agreed it was serious enough for their consideration and told them to stop theirs.

I don't think you will see anymore reports from the state dept.
but good catch, it is a tricky affair and must be a hot potato for all agencies involved. I think we will see three reports. State, FBI and Justice from the feds.

Nevermind all the congressional and senate reports that will be sure to follow since Republicans hold the house and Senate.

3. I saw this morning...

...that the OIG and FBI have shared some information from interviews.

4. I think this is a different investigation honestly.

This just looks at her server/email handling from what I saw.

The other one in question was related to classified info being in her emails.

6. I think the other one is about leaks from the CIA

which were collected by a network that was encouraged, if not facilitated by HRC and the Clinton Foundation.

[thesquanderer]

11. Yes, I think you're right.

I think this is completely separate form the State Department's concern about classified info, and the FBI will complete their own investigation on that... and that might make the SD's own investigation on that topic moot, or it might not... which might not be decided until after that FBI report is completed.

5. It means things are wrapping up before the convention

Whew!

8. Completely untrue

The report exonerated her...no one uses state shitey email...haha.

[thesquanderer]

9. With exonerations like that, who needs enemies?

While it's true that this report does not deal with the potentially more serious issues of classified info, it hardly exonerates her behavior within the areas it did cover. She did not follow rules. And to the most common response to that, I'll add that "other people did it too" is not a good defense, especially if you're running for president and they're not, and especially if there were more guidelines in your time than in theirs, and especially when you did it to a much bigger extent than anyone else (both in the number of rules broken and the extent to which they were broken), and especially when everyone else cooperated with the investigation while you and your aides refused to cooperate.

10. exactly

[paulthompson]

12. Incorrect

It's understandable that you're confused, but there actually are two State Department investigations going on here. There's the one that led to the report that was released yesterday, by the department's inspector general. That had been going on since about April 2015. Then there was another State Department investigation by the department as a whole that was started in February 2016 and suspended in March 2016 at the request of the FBI.

But you're right that other reports are coming out about Clinton's emails, including apparently a report by the Intelligence Community's inspector general.

[thesquanderer]

13. Yes, as I said, one possibility was that we're talking about *multiple* State Dep't investigations...

... and as has become more clear, I agree, that seems to be the case. But thanks for also clarifying that not only are the investigations covering different ground (basically records preservation vs. handling of classified info), but even within the State Dep't, they were being handled by two different groups.
