Hillary Clinton aides had access to State Dept. after she left, says key lawmaker
Fox News ^ | March 30, 2017 | Malia Zimmerman

When Hillary Clinton resigned as Secretary of State in 2013, she negotiated continuing access to classified and top-secret documents for herself and six staffers under the designation "research assistants," according to a powerful senator who notes that Clinton was later deemed "extremely careless" with such information.

The staff apparently retained access even after Clinton announced her run for president in April 2015, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The access was ostensibly granted to facilitate work on Clinton's memoir, but Grassley said he was only able to verify it after the Obama administration left the White House.

“I have repeatedly asked the State Department whether Secretary Clinton and her associates had their clearances suspended or revoked to which the Obama Administration refused to respond,” Grassley wrote in a March 30 letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

“Recently, the State Department informed the Committee that six additional Secretary Clinton staff at State were designated as her research assistants which allowed them to retain their clearances after leaving the Department,” Grassley added.

That reminds me—what has the freedom caucus ever done to hold Hillary accountable for her crimes?

All these people leaving their personal belongings after they no longer live there. I wish Trump would figure this out and clean out all the obamites.

Horrifying. I’m glad T Rex is digging into this.

But, it was only for her ‘memoirs’. Not like she was looking for something to sell.

Why is this crap surprising? The Republic is corrupted from all angles and it is only a matter of time before it falls. I imagine helicopters 20 years from now - like those during the fall of South Viet Nam - with liberals and Paul Ryan hanging on to ladders while being evacuated to Singapore. A very ancient Hillary Clinton will be presiding there like Queen Victoria serving tea cakes. (In exile, this anti-woman has learned to bake.)

More likely so she could remember *what* she had sold to *whom* so she could approve or deny Clinton Foundation donations refund requests.

Yep...More than likely in my view, and she needed those aides to do it for her.

There is just something really really wrong with this woman and her appointment to Secretary of State.

Seriously bad judgment from top to bottom so sideways, people who worked for her and appointed her.

I really wish we could find out what was going on there.

The fact that this beotch is still roaming free, has NEVER been held accountable for her crimes through the years, let alone coming ‘this close’ to being PRESIDENT - really, REALLY shows you how corrupt our Government is!

Good Luck, President Trump. You are going to be up to your @ss in alligators for a long time to come!

Lock Her Up! Grrrr!

This move has Cheryl Mills fingerprints all over it.

I wouldn’t doubt she was still obstructing supeana, FBI and FOIA requests for documents from her krypt.

What better way for Hitlary to know what was being produced to investigators and what documents she could safely destroy on her personal server.

Anyone surprised by this needs to see their doctor to be evaluated for their "Government Pollyanna Profile"

Those found with a "Pollyanna Factor greater than 2.0 need to take Cynicism Supplements!
