Clinton aide reported to have walked out of FBI interview

198. Wrong. The FBI wanted to talk about the private server, and THAT was set up in 2008

during Hillary's campaign -- i.e., BEFORE either Hillary or Cheryl came to the State Department.

Before Cheryl Mills was hired to the State Dept. in May 2009, she worked for NYU on a part-time basis and also served as Hillary's personal attorney.

So any legal advice given to Hillary in 2008 and early 2009, before Mills came to State, fell under the category of attorney-client privilege.

And any legal advice given to Hillary after she and Cheryl left the State Dept -- such as how to transmit the emails in response to the FOIA requests -- ALSO would be covered under attorney-client privilege.

The domains were pointed to a private email server that Clinton (who never had a state.gov email account) used to send and receive email, and which was purchased and installed in the Clintons' home for her 2008 presidential campaign.

Before becoming Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills worked for Clinton on an unpaid basis for four month while also working for New York University

From the Hill article in the OP:

The off-limits questions reportedly concerned the way in which emails were given to the State Department to be distributed to the public. According to the Post, Mills worried that the questions would violate the attorney-client privilege, and investigators had previously agreed not to broach the subject.
