I’ve been trying to imagine what it would look like if I decided to do an FBI 

only press event to close out our work and hand the matter to DOJ. To help 

shape our discussions of whether that, or something different, makes sense, I 

have spent some time crafting what I would say, which follows. In my 

imagination, I don’t see me taking any questions. Here is what it might look 

like: 

Good afternoon folks. I am here to give you an update on our investigation of 

Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email system, which began in late AugustmidJuly. 

After a tremendous amount of work, the FBI has completed its investigation and 

has referred the case to the Department of Justice for a prosecutive decision. What 

I would like to do today is tell you three things: (1) what we did; (2) what we 

found; (3) what we have recommended to DOJ. 

But I want to start by thanking the many agents, analysts, technologists, and other 

FBI employees who did work of extraordinary quality in this case. Once you have 

a better sense of how much we have done, you will understand why I am so 

grateful and proud of their efforts. 

So, first: what we have done over the last eight months. 

The investigation began as a referral from the Intelligence Community Inspector 

General in connection with Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server during 

her time as Secretary of State, focused on whether classified information was 

transmitted on that private system. 

Our investigation focused on whether there is evidence that classified information 

was improperly stored or transmitted on that private system, in violation of a 

federal statute that makes it a felony to mishandle classified information either 

intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute that makes it a 

misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate 

systems or storage facilities. 

Consistent with our counterintelligence responsibilities, we have also investigated 

to determine whether there is evidence of computer intrusion in connection with 

Commented [p1]: Consider whether it is more appropriate to 

call this a “personal” or “privately-owned” email server. “Private” 

may denote a commercial email service, such as gmail or hotmail. 

Use of these private commercial services was widespread at State 

before and during her tenure.

SJC000031
the private email server by any foreign power, or hackers on behalf of a foreign 

power. 

I have so far used the singular term, “email server,” in describing the referral that 

began our investigation. It turns out to have been more complicated than that. 

Secretary Clinton used several different servers and providers administrators of 

those servers during her four years at the State Department, and used numerous 

mobile devices to view and send email on that private domain. As new servers and 

equipment s and providers were employed, older servers were taken out of service, 

stored, and decommissioned in various ways. Piecing all of that back together to 

gain as full an understanding as possible of the ways in which private email was 

used for government work has been a painstaking undertaking, requiring thousands 

of hours of effort. 

For example, when one of Secretary Clinton’s original private servers was 

decommissioned in 2013xx, the email software was removed. Doing that didn’t 

remove the email content, but it was like removing the frame from a huge finished 

jigsaw puzzle and dumping the pieces on the floor. The effect was that millions of 

email fragments end up unsorted in the server’s un-used – or “slack” – space. We 

searchedwent through all of it to see what was there, and what parts of the puzzle 

could be put back together. 

FBI investigators have also read all 34,000of the approximately 30,000 emails 

provided by Secretary Clinton to the State Department in spring 2015December 

2014. Where an email was assessed as possibly containing classified information, 

the FBI referred the email to the any U.S. government agency that was the a likely 

“owner” of the information in the email so that agency could make a determination 

as to whether the email contained classified information at the time it was sent or 

received, or whether there was reason to classify the email now, even if its content 

was not classified at the time it was sent (this is the process sometimes referred to 

as “up classifying”). 

From that group of 34,00030,000 emails that had been returned to the State 

Department in late 20145, the FBI sent xxxx emails to agencies for classification 

determinations. Of those, xxxx have been determined by the owning agency to 

contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Xxxx of 

those contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; xxxx 

contained Secret information at the time; and xxxx contained Confidential 

information. Separate from those, a total of xxxx additional emails were “up

Commented [p3]: Some emails were sent to multiple agencies.

Commented [p4]: Ultimately, the number of emails determined 

to be classified will be a small percentage of those sent for review.

SJC000032
classified” to make them Secret or Confidential; the information in those had not 

been classified at the time the emails were sent. 

The FBI also discovered xxxx several thousand work-related emails that were not 

in the group of 34,00030,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 

20145. We found those additional emails in a variety of ways. Some had been 

deleted over the years and we found traces of them on devices that supported or 

were connected to the private email domain. Others we found by reviewing the 

archived government email accounts of people who had been government 

employees at the same time as Secretary Clinton, including high-ranking officials 

at other agencies, with whom a Secretary of State might naturally correspond. This 

helped us recover work-related emails that were not among the 34,00030,000

produced to State. Still others we recovered from the laborious review of the 

millions of email fragments dumped into the slack space of the server 

decommissioned in 2013xx. 

All told, we found xxxx thousands of emails that were not among those produced 

to the State Department last yearin late 2014. Of those, we assessed that xxxx 

possibly contained classified information at the time they were sent or received and 

so we sent them to other government agencies for classification determinations. 

To date, agencies have concluded that xxxx of those were classified at the time 

they were sent or received, xxx at the Secret level and xxxx at the Confidential 

level. There were no additional Top Secret emails found. Finally, xxxx none of 

those we found have since been “up classified.” 

I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related 

emails we found were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them. Our 

assessment is that, like many users of private email accounts, Secretary Clinton 

periodically deleted emails or emails were purged from the system when devices 

were changed. Because she was not using a government account, there was no 

archiving of her emails, so it is not surprising that we discovered emails that were 

not on Secretary Clinton’s system in 20154, when she produced the 34,00030,000

emails to the State Department. 

It could also be that some of the additional work-related emails we recovered were 

among those deleted as “personal” by Secretary Clinton’s lawyers when they 

reviewed and sorted her emails for production in 20145. We have conducted 

interviews and done technical examination to attempt to understand how that 

sorting was done. Although we do not have complete visibility because we are not 

SJC000033
fully able to reconstruct the electronic record of that sorting, we believe our 

investigation has been sufficient to give us reasonable confidence there was no 

intentional misconduct in connection with that sorting effort. 

The lawyers doing the sorting for Secretary Clinton in 20145 did not individually 

read the content of all of her tens of thousands of emails, as we did for those 

available to us; instead, they used search terms to try to find all work-related 

emails among the reportedly more than 60,000 total emails remaining on Secretary 

Clinton’s private system in 20154. It is highly likely their search terms missed 

some work-related emails, and that we found them, for example, in the mailboxes 

of other officials or in the slack space of a server. It is also likely that there are 

other work-related emails that they did not produce to State and that we did not 

find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they deleted all emails they did not 

return to State, and the lawyers cleaned their devices in a such a way as to preclude 

forensic recovery. 

And, of course, in additional to our technical work, we interviewed many people, 

from those involved in setting up and maintaining the various iterations of 

Secretary Clinton’s private server to staff members with whom she corresponded 

on email, to those involved in the email production to State, and finally, Secretary 

Clinton herself. 

Lastly, we have done extensive work with the assistance of our colleagues 

elsewhere in the Intelligence Community to understand what indications there 

might be of compromise by hostile actors in connection with the private email 

operation. 

That’s what we have done. Now let me tell you what we found. 

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues 

intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is 

evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, 

highly classified information.There is evidence to support a conclusion that 

Secretary Clinton, and others, used the private email server in a manner that was 

grossly negligent with respect to the handling of classified information. For 

example, seven email chains concern matters that were classified at the TS/SAP 

level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton 

both sending emails about those matters and receiving emails from others about the 

same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable 

Formatted: Highlight

SJC000034
person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government 

employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have 

known that an unclassified system was no place for such an email conversation. 

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues 

intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is 

evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, 

highly classified information.

Similarly, In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found the sheer 

volume of information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. 

Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on email (that is, excluding 

the “up classified” emails). This is especially concerning because all of these 

emails were housed on servers not supported by full-time security staff, like those 

found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government. supports an 

inference that the participants were grossly negligent in their handling of that 

information. 

While not the focus of our investigation, we also developed evidence that the 

security culture of the State Department in general, and with respect to use of 

unclassified email systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care 

for classified information found elsewhere in the government. 

With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not find 

direct evidence that Secretary Clinton’s personal email system, in its various 

configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked. But, given the nature of the 

system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely 

to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the 

private commercial email accounts of individuals with whom Secretary Clinton 

was in regular contact from her personal private account. We also assess that 

Secretary Clinton’s use of a private personal email domain was both known by a 

large number of people and readily apparent. Given that combination of factors, 

we assess it is reasonably likely possible that hostile actors gained access to 

Secretary Clinton’s private personal email account..

So that’s what we found. 

Finally, with respect to our recommendation to the Department of Justice. In 

our system, the prosecutors make the decisions about whether charges are 

appropriate based on evidence the FBI has helped collect. Although we don’t 

Commented [p5]:

SJC000035
normally make public our recommendations to the prosecutors, we frequently 

make recommendations and engage in productive conversations with prosecutors 

about what resolution may be appropriate, given the evidence. In this case, given 

the importance of the matter, I think unusual transparency is in order. 

In looking back at our investigations in similar circumstances, we cannot find a 

case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases 

prosecuted involved some combination of: (1) clearly intentional mishandling of 

classified information; (2) vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to 

support an inference of intentional misconduct; (3) indications of disloyalty to the 

United States; or (4) efforts to obstruct justice. All charged cases of which we are 

aware have involved the accusation that a government employee intentionally 

mishandled classified information. We see none of that here. 

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the 

handling of classified information, my judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor 

would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before 

bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the 

evidence. But they must be balanced against things like the intent and context of 

the person’s actions. To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar 

circumstances, an individual who engaged in this activity would face NO 

consequences. To the contrary, such individuals are often subject to security or 

administrative sanctions. But that decision is not what is before me now. 

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statute proscribing gross 

negligence in the handling of classified information and of the statute proscribing 

misdemeanor mishandling, my judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would 

bring such a case. At the outset, we are not aware of a case where anyone has been 

charged solely based on the “gross negligence” prohibition in the statute. In 

looking back at our investigations in similar circumstances, we cannot find a case 

that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases 

prosecuted involved some combination of: (1) clearly intentional misconduct; (2) 

vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of 

intentional misconduct; (3) indications of disloyalty to the United States; or (4) 

efforts to obstruct justice. We see none of that here.

Accordingly, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters 

such as this, I am completing the investigation by expressing to Justice my view 

that no charges are appropriate in this case. 

Commented [p6]: We changed none of this text, we simply 

reordered it. The original text is below , struck-out.

Commented [p7]:

SJC000036
I know there will be intense public disagreement in the wake of this result, as there 

was throughout this investigation. What I can assure the American people is that 

this investigation was done competently, honestly, and independently. No outside 

influence of any kind was brought to bear. I know there were many opinions 

expressed by people who were not part of the investigation – including people in 

government – but none of that mattered to us. Opinions are irrelevant, and they 

were all uninformed by insight into our investigation, because we did the 

investigation in a professional way. Only facts matter, and the FBI found them 

here in an entirely apolitical and professional way. I couldn’t be prouder to be part 

of this organization.

SJC000059
Good morning. I’m here to give you an update on the FBI’s investigation of


Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email system during her time as Secretary of


State. 

After a tremendous amount of work over the last year, the FBI has finished

its investigation and referred the case to the Department of Justice for a prosecutive


decision. What I would like to do today is tell you three things: what we did; what

we found; and what we have recommended to the Department of Justice. 

This will be an unusual statement in at least a couple ways. First, I am going

to include more detail than I ordinarily would, because I think the American people


deserve those details in a case of intense public interest. Second, I have not

coordinated or reviewed this statement in any way with the Department of Justice


or any other part of the government. They do not know what I am about to say.

But I want to start by thanking the many FBI employees who did remarkable


work in this case. Once you have a better sense of how much we have done, you

will understand why I am so grateful and proud of their efforts.

So, first, what we have done:

The investigation began as a referral from the Intelligence Community


Inspector General in connection with Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email


server during her time as Secretary of State. The referral focused on whether


classified information was transmitted on that personal system.

Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence that classified

information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in

violation of a federal statute that makes it a felony to mishandle classified

information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute


that makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from


appropriate systems or storage facilities. 

Consistent with our counter-intelligence responsibilities, we have also


investigated to determine whether there is evidence of computer intrusion in

connection with the personal email server by any foreign power, or other hostile


actors. 

SJC000060
I have so far used the singular term, “email server,” in describing the referral

that began our investigation. It turns out to have been more complicated than that.


Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers

during her four years at the State Department, and used numerous mobile devices

to view and send email on that personal domain. As new servers and equipment

were employed, older servers were taken out of service, stored, and

decommissioned in various ways. Piecing all of that back together -- to gain as full


an understanding as possible of the ways in which personal email was used for


government work -- has been a painstaking undertaking, requiring thousands of


hours of effort. 

For example, when one of Secretary Clinton’s original personal servers was


decommissioned in 2013, the email software was removed. Doing that didn’t


remove the email content, but it was like removing the frame from a huge finished

jigsaw puzzle and dumping the pieces on the floor. The effect was that millions of


email fragments end up unsorted in the server’s un-used – or “slack” – space. We


searched through all of it to see what was there, and what parts of the puzzle could

be put back together. 

FBI investigators have also read all of the approximately 30,000 emails

provided by Secretary Clinton to the State Department in December 2014. Where


an email was assessed as possibly containing classified information, the FBI


referred the email to any U.S. government agency that was a likely “owner” of


information in the email, so that agency could make a determination as to whether


the email contained classified information at the time it was sent or received, or


whether there was reason to classify the email now, even if its content was not

classified at the time it was sent (that is the process sometimes referred to as “upclassifying”).

From the group of 30,000 emails returned to the State Departmen

emails i email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain

classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains

contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains

contained Secret information at the time; an contained Confidential information,


which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000

additional emails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information

in those had not been classified at the time the emails were sent. 

The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related emails that were not

in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014. 

SJC000061
We found those additional emails in a variety of ways. Some had been deleted over


the years and we found traces of them on devices that supported or were connected

to the private email domain. Others we found by reviewing the archived

government email accounts of people who had been government employees at the


same time as Secretary Clinton, including high-ranking officials at other agencies,


people with whom a Secretary of State might naturally correspond. This helped us

recover work-related emails that were not among the 30,000 produced to State.


Still others we recovered from the laborious review of the millions of email

fragments dumped into the slack space of the server decommissioned in 2013. 

With respect to the thousands of emails we found that were not among those


produced to State, agencies have concluded that xx of those were classified at the


time they were sent or received, x at the Secret level and xx at the Confidential

level. There were no additional Top Secret emails found. Finally, xx of those we


found have since been “up-classified.” 

I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional workrelated emails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them. Our


assessment is that, like many email users, Secretary Clinton periodically deleted

emails or emails were purged from the system when devices were changed. 

Because she was not using a government account – or even a commercial account

like Gmail – there was no archiving at all of her emails, so it is not surprising that

we discovered emails that were not on Secretary Clinton’s system in 2014, when


she produced the 30,000 emails to the State Department. 

It could also be that some of the additional work-related emails we


recovered were among those deleted as “personal” by Secretary Clinton’s lawyers


when they reviewed and sorted her emails for production in 2014. 

The lawyers doing the sorting for Secretary Clinton in 2014 did not


individually read the content of all of her emails, as we did for those available to

us; instead, they relied on header information and used search terms to try to find

all work-related emails among the reportedly more than 60,000 total emails

remaining on Secretary Clinton’s personal system in 2014. It is highly likely their


search terms missed some work-related emails, and that we later found them, for


example, in the mailboxes of other officials or in the slack space of a server. 

It is also likely that there are other work-related emails that they did not produce to

State and that we did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they


deleted all emails they did not return to State, and the lawyers cleaned their devices

in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery. 

SJC000062
We have conducted interviews and done technical examination to attempt to

understand how that sorting was done by her attorneys. Although we do not have


complete visibility because we are not fully able to reconstruct the electronic


record of that sorting, we believe our investigation has been sufficient to give us

reasonable confidence there was no intentional misconduct in connection with that

sorting effort. 

And, of course, in addition to our technical work, we interviewed many


people, from those involved in setting up and maintaining the various iterations of


Secretary Clinton’s personal server, to staff members with whom she corresponded


on email, to those involved in the email production to State, and finally, Secretary


Clinton herself. 

Last, we have done extensive work to understand what indications there


might be of compromise by hostile actors in connection with the personal email

operation. 

That’s what we have done. Now let me tell you what we found: 

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her

colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified

information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling

of very sensitive, highly classified information. 

For example, seven email chains concern matters that were classified at the


Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received.

These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending emails about those matters

and receiving emails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to

support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or


in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding

about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place


for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also

found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence


Community at the time it was discussed on email (that is, excluding the later “upclassified” emails). 

None of these emails should have been on any kind of unclassified system,


but their presence is especially concerning because all of these emails were housed

on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like


SJC000063
those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government – or even with a

commercial service like Gmail. 

Separately, it is important to say something about the marking of classified

information. Only a very small number of the emails containing classified

information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But

even if information is not marked “classified” in an email, participants who know


or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it. 

While not the focus of our investigation, we also developed evidence that the


security culture of the State Department in general, and with respect to use of


unclassified email systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care


for classified information found elsewhere in the government. 

With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not

find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton’s personal email system, in its various


configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked. But, given the nature of the


system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely


to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the


private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in

regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s


use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and

readily apparent. She also used her personal email extensively while outside the


United States, including from the territory of sophisticated adversaries. That use


included an email exchange with the President while Secretary Clinton was on the


territory of such an adversary. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is

possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email


account. 

So that’s what we found. Finally, with respect to our recommendation to the


Department of Justice: 

In our system, the prosecutors make the decisions about whether charges are


appropriate based on evidence the FBI has helped collect. Although we don’t


normally make public our recommendations to the prosecutors, we frequently


make recommendations and engage in productive conversations with prosecutors

about what resolution may be appropriate, given the evidence. In this case, given

the importance of the matter, I think unusual transparency is in order. 

SJC000064
Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding

the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable


prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of

factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength

of the evidence, especially about intent. Responsible decisions also consider the


context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the


past. 

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of


classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal

charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of:

clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast

quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of


intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts

to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here. 

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who

engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those


individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not

what we are deciding now. 

As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on

matters like this, we are completing the investigation by expressing to Justice our


view that no charges are appropriate in this case. 

I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this

recommendation, as there was throughout this investigation. What I can assure the


American people is that this investigation was done competently, honestly, and

independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear. 

I know there were many opinions expressed by people who were not part of


the investigation – including people in government – but none of that mattered to

us. Opinions are irrelevant, and they were all uninformed by insight into our


investigation, because we did the investigation the right way. Only facts matter,


and the FBI found them here in an entirely apolitical and professional way. I

Good morning. I’m here to give you an update on the FBI’s investigation of


Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email system during her time as Secretary of

After a tremendous amount of work over the last year, the FBI has finished

its investigation and is referring the case to the Department of Justice for a

classified information was transmitted on that personal system.

Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence that classified

Consistent with our counter-intelligence responsibilities, we have also


investigated to determine whether there is evidence of computer intrusion in

connection with the personal email server by any foreign power, or other hostile


actors. 

SJC000074
I have so far used the singular term, “email server,” in describing the referral


that began our investigation. It turns out to have been more complicated than that.


Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers

during her four years at the State Department, and used numerous mobile devices

to view and send email on that personal domain. As new servers and equipment

were employed, older servers were taken out of service, stored, and

decommissioned in various ways. Piecing all of that back together -- to gain as full


an understanding as possible of the ways in which personal email was used for


government work -- has been a painstaking undertaking, requiring thousands of


hours of effort. 

For example, when one of Secretary Clinton’s original personal servers was


decommissioned in 2013, the email software was removed. Doing that didn’t


remove the email content, but it was like removing the frame from a huge finished

jigsaw puzzle and dumping the pieces on the floor. The effect was that millions of


email fragments end up unsorted in the server’s un-used – or “slack” – space. We


searched through all of it to see what was there, and what parts of the puzzle could

be put back together. 

FBI investigators have also read all of the approximately 30,000 emails

provided by Secretary Clinton to the State Department in December 2014. Where


an email was assessed as possibly containing classified information, the FBI


referred the email to any U.S. government agency that was a likely “owner” of


information in the email, so that agency could make a determination as to whether


the email contained classified information at the time it was sent or received, or


whether there was reason to classify the email now, even if its content was not

classified at the time it was sent (that is the process sometimes referred to as “upclassifying”).

From the group of 30,000 emails returned to the State Departmen

emails i email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain

classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains

contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains

contained Secret information at the time; an contained Confidential information,


which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000

additional emails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information

in those had not been classified at the time the emails were sent. 

The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related emails that were not

SJC000075
in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014. 

We found those additional emails in a variety of ways. Some had been deleted over


the years and we found traces of them on devices that supported or were connected

to the private email domain. Others we found by reviewing the archived

government email accounts of people who had been government employees at the


same time as Secretary Clinton, including high-ranking officials at other agencies,


people with whom a Secretary of State might naturally correspond. This helped us

recover work-related emails that were not among the 30,000 produced to State.


Still others we recovered from the laborious review of the millions of email

fragments dumped into the slack space of the server decommissioned in 2013. 

With respect to the thousands of emails we found that were not among those


produced to State, agencies have concluded that xx of those were classified at the


time they were sent or received, x at the Secret level and xx at the Confidential

level. There were no additional Top Secret emails found. Finally, xx of those we


found have since been “up-classified.” 

I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional workrelated emails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them. Our


assessment is that, like many email users, Secretary Clinton periodically deleted

emails or emails were purged from the system when devices were changed. 

Because she was not using a government account – or even a commercial account

like Gmail – there was no archiving at all of her emails, so it is not surprising that

we discovered emails that were not on Secretary Clinton’s system in 2014, when


she produced the 30,000 emails to the State Department. 

It could also be that some of the additional work-related emails we


recovered were among those deleted as “personal” by Secretary Clinton’s lawyers


when they reviewed and sorted her emails for production in 2014. 

The lawyers doing the sorting for Secretary Clinton in 2014 did not


individually read the content of all of her emails, as we did for those available to

us; instead, they relied on header information and used search terms to try to find

all work-related emails among the reportedly more than 60,000 total emails

remaining on Secretary Clinton’s personal system in 2014. It is highly likely their


search terms missed some work-related emails, and that we later found them, for


example, in the mailboxes of other officials or in the slack space of a server. 

It is also likely that there are other work-related emails that they did not produce to

State and that we did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they


SJC000076
deleted all emails they did not return to State, and the lawyers cleaned their devices

in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery. 

We have conducted interviews and done technical examination to attempt to

understand how that sorting was done by her attorneys. Although we do not have


complete visibility because we are not able to fully reconstruct the electronic


record of that sorting, we believe our investigation has been sufficient to give us

reasonable confidence there was no intentional misconduct in connection with that

sorting effort. 

And, of course, in addition to our technical work, we interviewed many


people, from those involved in setting up and maintaining the various iterations of


Secretary Clinton’s personal server, to staff members with whom she corresponded


on email, to those involved in the email production to State, and finally, Secretary


Clinton herself. 

Last, we have done extensive work to understand what indications there


might be of compromise by hostile actors in connection with the personal email

operation. 

That’s what we have done. Now let me tell you what we found: 

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her

colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified

information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling

of very sensitive, highly classified information. 

For example, seven email chains concern matters that were classified at the


Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received.

These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending emails about those matters

and receiving emails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to

support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or


in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding

about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place


for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also

found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence


Community at the time it was discussed on email (that is, excluding the later “upclassified” emails). 

SJC000077
None of these emails should have been on any kind of unclassified system,


but their presence is especially concerning because all of these emails were housed

on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like


those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government – or even with a


commercial service like Gmail. 

Separately, it is important to say something about the marking of classified

information. Only a very small number of the emails containing classified

information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But

even if information is not marked “classified” in an email, participants who know


or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it. 

While not the focus of our investigation, we also developed evidence that the


security culture of the State Department in general, and with respect to use of


unclassified email systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care


for classified information found elsewhere in the government. 

With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not

find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton’s personal email domain, in its various

configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked. But, given the nature of the


system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely


to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the


private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in

regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s


use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and

readily apparent. She also used her personal email extensively while outside the


United States, including from the territory of sophisticated adversaries. That use


included an email exchange with another senior government official while


Secretary Clinton was in the territory of such an adversary. Given that

combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to

Secretary Clinton’s personal email account. 

So that’s what we found. Finally, with respect to our recommendation to the


Department of Justice: 

In our system, the prosecutors make the decisions about whether charges are

appropriate based on evidence the FBI has helped collect. Although we don’t


normally make public our recommendations to the prosecutors, we frequently


make recommendations and engage in productive conversations with prosecutors

SJC000078
about what resolution may be appropriate, given the evidence. In this case, given

the importance of the matter, I think unusual transparency is in order. 

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding

the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable


prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of

factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength

of the evidence, especially about intent. Responsible decisions also consider the


context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the


past. 

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of


classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal

charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of:

clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast

quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of


intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts

to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here. 

To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who

engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those


individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not

what we are deciding now. 

As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on

matters like this, we are completing the investigation by expressing to Justice our


view that no charges are appropriate in this case. 

I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this

recommendation, as there was throughout this investigation. What I can assure the


American people is that this investigation was done competently, honestly, and

independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear. 

I know there were many opinions expressed by people who were not part of


the investigation – including people in government – but none of that mattered to

us. Opinions are irrelevant, and they were all uninformed by insight into our


investigation, because we did the investigation the right way. Only facts matter,


and the FBI found them here in an entirely apolitical and professional way. I

couldn’t be prouder to be part of this organization.

l'm sure something interesting will come up. lf not what l'm doing, 

there will be something that emerges between now and then. That's 

not much comfort for ou thou h. 

Pius, l'm willing t o bet that Andy can identify something for you to do 

between now and then. Did you two talk about that at all? l mean you 

workin for him in his current ea acit ? 

No. l hoped that he would, but he didn't bring it up and l'm not going 

to ask again. l guess it's·still early - there's noteven a computer in his 

office. 

Yeah. Look, he hasn't even started the job. And it's tough to slot you 

again something when you're not back yet. Having you in house is 

absolutely going to make it easy to say hey piug you into this project. 

Where is he sitting? l stiil haven't had ~ chance to talk to him about

.l know, me too. lt completely sucks.\n\nWho is coming in to read 

emails? That a Iso totally sucks. 

What a joke: \nStill, there was progress. Never before had China 

agreed with Mr. Obama\u2019s fundamental premise that the theft 

of intellectual property for commercial gain was off limits. After week 

of behind-the-scenes negotiations with the Chinese leadership, first in 

Beijing in late August and then with a delegation of nearly 50 senior 

Chinese officials who came to Washington quietly two weeks aga, 

Beijing agreed to wording that read: \u201cNeither country\u2019s 

government will conduct or knowingly support cyber-enabled theft of 

intellectual property, including trade secrets or other confidential 

business information, with the intent of providing competitive 

advantages to companies or commercial sectors.\u201d\n\nlimiting 

Security Breaches May Be lmpossible Task for U.S. and China 

http:/ /nyti.ms/llch!QD 

And God, that's an awful sequence of time stamps on your texts. :( 

l'm sorry. ans are coming in. Not sure that they need to 

read them, but we're asking them to jump through their ass to act 

quickly, so not in much of a position to argue if they want to come in. 

And now have to prep Randy for Laufman because even though ,....._ ____________ _ --~ Randy called him after he 

couldn't rea eh Toseas. Sa now laufman is ealling him all the time .•

Act quickly to do what? And yes, l also hate hate hate when w e take 

anyone's call. Hopefully you'll be better about that practice when you

has a preference? - and l'm guessing but not certain it will be easier 

from a HR Source admin per.spective as well. And as long as they get 

plussed up fsl, they shouldn't care, riglit? 

2016-01-24 OUTBOX No, you misunderstand. l got this email, muckities from other agencies 

21:53:27, Sun were on it, as were Trisha and Jim, but couldn't decide whether to 

forward it and went back and forth bc t didn't want to step on toes or . overstep if Jim had already forwarded, but Jim also isn't great at 

eheeking email over the weekend so l ended up text andy rather than 

just forwarding the email to him to ask whether he had received it or 

not. lf t'm not in ogc, l don't think 1'11 have the sa me what's. my roie, am 

l overstepping st.ress. l just really want to be called his speeial eounsel 

and not just special assistant, and l'm not sure Jim will let me. 

2016-01-24 INBOX B) fortunately there will still be snow tomorrow. \nA) special counsel 

21:57:26, Sun implies an ogc position, though, right? And would you get those emails 

if you weren't in OGC? Regardless, that worry about lane will resolve 

itself out once you get a ehance to start working. One of those 

impossible to know now. B.ut it will be tine. l promise. 

2016-01-24 INBOX ts your title that big a deal to you at the end of the day? Not saying it 

21:59:19, Sun shouldn't be, just trying to understand where it ranks within your 

oriorities. 

2016-01-24 OUTBOX t'm not sure l agree. lf trisha's whole point of putting LJhere is to 

22:01:53, Sun ensure more reliance on ogc, t'm not sure she's embrace me acting 

pretty independently, which is the only way t know how to be. Will 

forward a couple of emaits - not a perfect example but maybe a littte 

demonstrative. There are other "special counsels", the D's, one in OCA . . 

l'm sure they're grandfathered, but l don't think Jim or especially trisha 

will want me to suggest t'm a lawyer if I'm notin ogc. 

2016-01-24 OUTBOX Pretty important to me, actually. Especially if l plan to leave the bureau, 

22:05:23, Sun t want my titte to reflect the work l'm doing. Wtf is a special assistant to 

the private sector? Chief of staff would be tine, but 1) that's not t he job. 

1'11 be doing and 2) Rybicki has made pretty clear he's opposed to me 

using that titte. l'm a lawyer, it's my identity, it's what l'd like to call 

'v ·~ 

2016-01-24 INBOX Completely understand. So stay in OGC and be special eounsel. Why 

22:12:54, Sun does JB not want that? Partieularly if that means they have some 

connection to your job? A lot of OGC are dummies but Jim and Trisha 

are not and vou can work with both of them ...

22:14:41 Sun and/or Jim 

2016-01-24 .OUTBOX l'm not sure you're following me. l imagine JB and TA WILL want me to 

22:17:18, Sun stay in ogc. What l'm saying is l don't want to second guess or worry 

about whether l am stepping on their toes, especially trisha bc she's so 

hard to read, and is still developing her relationships with our execs, 

1o<:n<>drillv rinrlv 

2016-01-24 ·INBOX Oh, l've got you. l don't have an easy answer, particularly if you want 

22:21:59, Sun the special counsel titte. lfyou do, l think you likely needtobe in OGC, 

and you're going to have to feel out the relationships. JB will be much 

easier than Trisha. 

2016-01-24 INBOX Because in some ways you are going to step on Trisha's toes. But l think 

22:23:32, Sun if Andy is clear with what he wants (amd i think he will be) that will help 

tremendouslv. 

2016-01-24 OUTBOX Yes, she is entirely my worry. l've done this job with Jim as GC, and he is 

22:24:48, Sun the least egotistical and most secure/non- threatened guy. We get each 

other. lt's trisha who will feel threatened. Pius woman thing. 

2016-01-24 OUTBOX l guess re Andy. But he respects hierarchy a lot too. 

22:25:52, Sun 

2016-01-24 INBOX Well but HE wantsyou to work for him. So let him take.the lead on roie 

22:37:47, Sun and expectatiöns, and have that dialogue with JB, maybe without you 

there. 

2016-01-25 INBOX Hi. Been thinking a lot about you, your new job, jb, and Trisha. No

2016-01-25 OUTBOX Hi there. Appreciate your email. lf history is any guide, Jim will indude 

12:02:13, Mon me on most emails to the DO, so l realize thatwill help. How to 

navigate Trisha, especially ifl'm stiil tied to ogc, and especially with

02:17:58. Wed 

2016-02-03 OUTBOX They all do. lt's not just him. Honestly, because J'm painted unfairly. 

02:23:07, Wed And l KNOW it's because of jealousy and l KNOW there's nothing l can 

do about it. But my sense of fa irness is as foundational a part of me as 

literally any single trait J can thi.nk of. lt's why l'm in government, why 

public service isa ealling for me. So l think it is just very hard for me to 

let go when samething is unfair.

2016-02-03 INBOX Well ata minimum, l think you should talk to Jason. Even if it doesn't 

12:55:42, Wed change anything decision wise, it's another voice to confirm that you're 

doing the right thing, even if that's not particularly satisfying. 

2016-02-04 INBOX Just had a great convo with one of the two new agents that the section 

00:37:26, Thu picked up today. l knew her from WFO, public corruption agent. She's 

very excited and toid .me that she wouldn't let me down and that l 

wouldn't regret it. So that makes me happy.\U0001f60a

Okay and now l'm sick to my stomach. Andy is having us meet at 915 to 

talk about the D's brief esterda . 

Lisa - it's going to be OK. Who's meeting - just the two of you? 

Everyone who was there minus 

---- With a disclaimer at the bottom that it was mandatory and no 

substitutions. 

So why are you sick ta your stomach? lf he had any issue with what you 

did he'd talk to ou alone ... 

Could be a finger wag for all of us? Or me and Mike, but didn't want to 

Me, baker, Steinbach, beers, and What else is it? 

Finish arguing out what you should have but couldn't because it was in 

front of the D. Worst case (and l think it's unlikely), he says hey let's get 

the debate done BEFORE we prep the D. Even that's not bad. 

And ? Sheesh.

lt's going to be ok. You're in the club .. 

And what makes me really angry about that Apple thing? The fact that 

Tim Cook plays such the privacy advocate. Yeah, jerky, your entire OS is 

desi ned to track me without me even knowin it. 

l know. Hypocrite. 

And ha, l had mine already turned off. Apparently l'm paranoid. 

Oh, and remind me to talk to you about talking to Jim Baker about 

David. 

And remind me Trisha (and l don't know who else) had the idea of 

sitting in on all these final interviews. Apparently she briefed Jim and 

they decided no. Rubbed me the wrong way - if we're going to throw a 

third FBI person in there, put me in there, as the SESer, much !ike an 

A i h a i i at . 

Or at least ask the investigative team rather than being the good idea 

faries from on hi h 

Yeah, that's fair. You should say something politely to trisha. 

Well, except Trisha works with Bill and JG. Though this all e~plains JG's 

"you and Jon should go, split them up, with at all of them. 11 

Because he's got Jim and Trisha pushing her (as they did with -

at State, in front of the Deputy and the D, without raising it before hand 

- l agreed toit, because l thought they were right, though l was a little 

cranky about being put into a spot where l would potentially have to 

argue otherwise in that group), and J~'s experience is having a senior 

guy there. \n\nBecause it1s a great spot for me tobe in to be telling doj 

"fewer people " while l simultaneously argue for two more for us.

Sorry, l'm busy. Call back later. 

He is l just got off the phone with him. He toid me about wrap. 

l'm talking to him now 

Yup. Though truthfully, l'm notsurel understand what the problem is. 

Sorry still on phone. lssue is if Laufman makes himself one of the two 

DoJ, do l send the two ease agents or insert myself. Andy toid Bill send 

the best two. And what "best" means isn't clear to me in this context. 

Best means best. lt's not a trick. 

lf Lautman does that, then that's doj's loss. And J think warrants a eall to 

his su eriors. 

Hi. Just leaving. Trisha still there or at least her car is). Saw 

too, though be didn't see me 

ea ving, 

We t~lked about it, but "best" was notin terms of agents (though that's 

what l wrote). lt's about what the best outcome is. ________ , 

Do you or Bill fundamentally believe that 3 and 3 is the RIGHT thing for 

the case? lf the answer is no, then you call lack and say we're good 

asis. You have never wavered from saying 2 and 2 is best. l don't get 

what the hesitation is now. 

One more thing: she might be our next president. The last thing you 

need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she's going to 

remember or care that it was mere do' than fbi? 

Agreed. l ealled Bill and relayed what we discussed. He agrees. l will 

email ou and ;ame. 

Cool. You going to call back? l have one mere thing to say, so long as 

ou are out of earshot of folks. 

Sorry meeting went lang with Bill. Sa

how much churn has gone on this. Have a good night."\n\nAnd he just 

wrote back: "Agree. Strongly."\n\nSo l guess it's all good. 

l know. lt shouldn't, but it's killing me too. l'm really angry but l'm trying 

to calm down. 

lt IS all good. 

l sent you the email and DoJ's response. 

This is whati texted back: 

l saw. l LOATHE the man. 

Weak. Not surprised though. 

Damn. 

l think it is disgusting. 1'11 have to hear how we ended up totally lasing 

on everything. l've been around lang enough to not be surprised, but 

·ust confirms we have no sa over our own case. 

l know.„ I know. l'm sorry. 

So l look forward to that conversation 

Does he know l'm working this behind the seenes too? 

To be clear, those both were from Jon to me 

No. Uniess you want me to tell him 

Yeah, l think you should. 

He knows we're good friends 

l don't even have an argument for you. l mean, you know everything l 

do. And Andy did fight, but at some point, to what end? 

l don'tknow 

\UOOOlf636\U0001f636\UOOOlf636\n\nHe knows you put a word in 

for him with And after we talked.

Special Counsel. But truly, l can put whatever l want on them

Finally leaving. As l think about going away, l remember that we have 

moved around interviews so that l can be there for them. Those are the 

things l needtobe present for.\n\nThe question remains whether l 

needtobe here for this, or not need to, but should.-

Drive safely. \n\nThis case is fungible, possibly sooner than later: Your 

tamil is not. You need to o. 

Yeah, but you know what bugs me? lf you weren't in there, who is . 

supposed to point out all the doubts and qualifications about the 

reporting, all the potential misinterpretations and exaggerations? that 

person needs to be in the room. l understand it could be you, but it 

could be me or somebody else at that level. They should have the 

benefit of that type of nuance and information, and clearly they don't, 

or at least they don't enough. They're certainly not getting it outof the 

so-called senior leaders who are sitting raund that table beside Andy. 

Jim does nuance. l'm not the only one in the room. 

But Jim doesn't get the reporting, does he? Saying hey this isn't a raw 

cut, all the o ortunities for error/exa eration? 

Thought of the perfect person D can bounce this off of 

Who? 

Pat\n\nYou gotta give me credit if we go with him. \n\nAnd delay 

briefing him on until l can get back and do it. Late next week or later. 

We talked about him last night, not for this, but how great he is. He's in 

private practice though, right? Suppose you could still bring him back. 

And es 1'11 hoid. 

Yes, he's at Skadden in Chicago. l haven't talked to.him for a year or 

two. Don't forget that Dag Comey appointed him as special counsel in 

the Plame matter, and that he was there for Comey's investiture. 

l could work with him again \u263a\n\nAnd damn we'd get sh,*.t DONE 

l know. Like l said, we discussed boss and him yesterday. 

And it frustrates me, because Bill; at his 7:15, brings up the whole 

matter in front of his DADs. One who is acting for Dina. Who 

immediately goes to John and tell him how Bill is stressed because all 

the stuff is going on a bout a special prosecutor. Bill needs to learn to 

nottalk to everybody about this when he's upset about it. And l 

guarantee that agent, while discreet, is certainly going to tell at least a 

few other 

people.\UOOOlf621\UOOOlf621\UOOOlf621\UOOOlf621\U0001f621\UO

Yes it was. 

That and l better up my aerobic activity„„ 

Thinking about earlier, l regret not saying more to.you and Jim. l should 

have said, l know Billis out, but we talked last night. l'm out next week. 

Since l have you both, here are my thoughts because l know the 

message doesn't always make it cleanly to the top. Will do that next 

im. 

Of course l might have still been so out of breath that l sounded like an 

asthmatic without his inhaler. U0001f612 

Yeah, would have been a totally reasonable approach. l didn't think of it 

either. 

Sigh. Missed opportunity. Good news is l think the right message got 

throu h. Have it in hand for next time. 

Sorry, have been on with Bill P for the last 45 or so. He hadn't received 

any back brief from Mike, which l tigured, sol emailed him to let him 

know l was ha to chat with him on the dl. 

l do like him. He gets nuance. l wonder if he gets intimidated/nervous 

around Andy, or the bluster of the guys, bc he's much more normal just 

discussin an issue back and forth. 

l had intended ~~~~~~~~~~~~---

t o talk to Bill this weekend or Monday and be in bed already, but when 

if l was free now there was no way l could leave him to wonder like 

that. 

Re bill 

l think some of it is his personality. l think he's naturally sort of oid 

fashioned entlemanl in a Midwestern sort of wa 

He is. l think he was pretty offended by my back and forth with randy. 

lt's not intimidation. Which is why l get a little angry at doing the 

imitation thing. He's not weak - to the extent he has a weakness, it's the 

over thinking earnestness, maybe thinking it's a tad bit more thoughtful 

than it is. But it is genuine without guile. 

You toid him? He should be. 

He is paying the priGe for a number of aggressive but unthoughtful 

decisions b 

l did. l gave him the same readout as you, full and complete. 

l'm sorry l didn't teil you and Jim what l thought. Made.the mistake of 

thinking you knew what l knew and therefore didn't want to repeat. 

Should have treated ou both as an o ortunit .

yesterday afternoon. l should have toid you yesterday, J hadn't 

processed the significance of it until now. l will need to call ---this 

So why the need for tobe so decisive all of a sudden? You need 

to tell so she can start pushing this while you're gone. 

Does his decision indude no we're not going to ask for a waiver? 

l'm not sure about any of this. Because often muddles things 

That's fine. l don't know what, if anything, Bill will provide me over the 

week. Jones will have nothing. l don't think you'll have the time or 

desire to rehash next weekend what happened on the case over the 

course of the week. 1'11 go crazy without an ability to know what's going 

on, so l'd appreciate it if you would keep posied if there are case 

updates /developments. 

Yes, of course l will keep you updated re the things l have visibility into, 

though will likely be in a better position toreport more granular 

Thank you. l appreciate it, obviously. You know i, like au, go insane 

being out of the loop. And l won't abuse it, _________ _ 

Oid she know about the reporting? 

@ / @Whatever. lt's passed. Just perennially irritating. \n\nDid 

call ou? 

Funny. She's stubborn that way. l could aimost feel the couple of times l 

encoura ed her to do so that she wasn't oin to. 

Yeah, l would have put a grand down saying she wouldn't. 

Why? Not wanting tobe reliant on you? Ego? Competition? \n\n.1 mean 

it was ,funn l could literall sense it. 

No, probably not wanting to bother. l hape it's not anything else. 

Thou h she will surel not like how involved l've been this week. 

Well it was the right decision (your involvement). l toid her you were 

since Bill was out. She'll understand at !east ri ht? 

l'd hape so.

2016-03-28 INBOX Who knows. Working on his United Platinum status?I l 

10:32:11, Man l 

2016-03-28 INBOX Just got done with Bill \U0001f612 

16:11:56, Mon 

2016-03-28 .INBOX Talked to Brian Brooks got answers to Andy's Qs about whether we 

23:20:01, Mon could do anything forensically ta accommodate DoJs questions at 

meeting. Short answer no, l can till you in tomorrow ifyou want more 

detail oriust Iet Bill brief it uo. 

2016-03-28 OUTBOX Of course· l will want info directly. And good. We shouldn't beJ h n

2016-03-28 INBOX Yeah that was my feeling, too. Brian offered several times to ask again 

23:34:32, Mon andi toid him that answer was perfectly fine, just needed tobe able to 

say we did an honest ask at an executive level. Besides, l got him to teil 

me the whole story of the Apple thing. [ 

2016-03-28 OUTBOX Hey, l was just following directions to keep it quiet. Everyone and their 

23:37:14, Mon mother wants to know how we did it and who the third party is'. Hope 

he didn't tell you for former as that is likely classified by now ...

2016-03-28 INBOX Also, the more l thought about the meeting this mornlng and what 

23:37:32, Mon you're waiting on from' it made me angry. l want - the team 

needs - your thoughts and input. l get you ":'ork for and advise him, but 

he's not going to relay to anyone, let alone me, your thoughts as the 

meetingis going on. You're smart and your a good attorney and what 

you think makes a difference to more than just Andy. Anyway, l value 

your input and opinion and l'm disappointed i didn't get it at the 

m ..... -„;~n ' 

2016-03-28 OUTBOX Yup. And it just makes me that much rnore angry that apparently now 

23:39:16, Mon l'm supposed to add Bill and Trisha to the list. Whatever. ls what it is l 

J?uess. 

2016-03-28 INBOX Not Bill l don't think. l really think he was relying what he heard, not 

23:42:16 Mon what he saw. 

2016-03-28 INBOX And you know l defended v.ou without reservation, artd l believe he 

23:42:47, Mon trusts mv iudgment. 

2016-03-28 INBOX Anc! l'm not cornmenting on Trisha because l simply don't know. l'm not 

23:50:18, Mon saying l think you do. \n\nAnd dammit l know super busy but l 

worry she has too much going on. l'm going to ask her to have someone 

in OGC do the atty opinion process research along the l ines of what you 

suggested. l fear too much of what we want and need to ask is going to 

be construed by DoJ as "opinion." l don't want to ask about each of the 

1500, but l do want to say, who gave you guidance about what 

constituted a record? Who did you ask or rely on to make a decision? 

Who and under what circumstances would you seek guidance from 

State? All "opinion," right? 

2016-03-28 INBOX Also - and you have to reply to each of these (this and above), dammit, 

23:57:53, Mon don't skimp responses - where did Mike have to go? He left the last 

brief to the D 45 minutes early as well. Whatever. \n\nWhat points did 

you ma_ke to Andy in the meeting? l assurne you'd relay to me at some 

point as you did the final one but l am curious as to your·thoughts alang 

ltho '"'""" 

2016 03 29 INBOX Finally, what is Andy/your understanding of what happens next after 

00:05:13, Tue the meeting today? That we charge ahead with the two scheduled 

interviews provided doj tells Beth we aren't done and intend to 

interview ahn11t sort? 

2016-03~29 OUTBOX l do not agree that all are opinion. Opinion is about the attorneys 

00:07:27, Tue IMPRESSIONS, strength of the case, ete. Understanding what criteria 

they used to determine whether something was work-related, and 

. whether someone applied those criteria re a particular email, is not 

opinion. 1'11 do some research. And yes, is much, much too busy. 

2016-03-29 OUTBOX To brief the D. He had a CT Hameland session with POTUS.

No more proffers! We made clear t hat we needed an exchange with the

you\nB) put yourself in his shoes. He's an AUSA in Richmond. He's not 

the AAG, or DMG, even though he's wildly more qualified. That gives 

rise to a complicated mix of contempt and envy and impatience and 

disrespect. \nC) he's had ta fight harder than he should for justice

hard?!?l? 

2016-03-30 OUTBOX Which l dislike even more. lt's the very trait l most loathe. Instead of a

2016-03-30 INBOX l don't think he's self-aggrandizing. l think he's earned his chops and is

2016-03-30 INBOX He didn't cut you down! He didn't say anything until prompted by me.

convey enough detail. And if Andy/Mike want more, they can ask. 

\n\nlnterestingly, we'd brief internais somewhat regularly to EAD. 

'Haven't with Mike. Also, he's sat down for big briefs with l and 3 (not

needs to. l may also suggest to Bill that he my want to get a section

that you're gone so much but it can't be helped right now.

INBOX Btw, he got neither of the two asac jobs he was in for earlier, and 

 said   (who sits on the asac board) said he wasn't getting 

Milwaukee, coming up. Talked about him with Bill, too. He's of the

anything from anyone else in the meeting  (other than

controversy since then, the amount that "that girl with the 

question" has clearly been discussed.

behind Randy Andy and   with the ones at the meeting. The 

former is more along the lines of what you're saying. The meeting

Especially when they're all used to the no brigade at DOJ. And if it

much work to demonstrate that to everyone.

whomever, and he's not going to care or listen to the notion that 

he's been an ass. He's the most aggressive prosecutor any agent

OUTBOX Maybe it is a friend thing. I gotta say, when he sent the email, and 

then was so concerned by my reaction that he followed up with 

that call, my overall feeling was "oh good, he cares!" I'm even okay 

with him caring out of a selfish desire because he really wants me 

to keep working for him. And so now I just feel like a suckered 

maybe? Guess he didn't care enough.

2016‐04‐08

OUTBOX I don't know. That's the best I can come up with.

2016‐04‐08 

00:32:06, Fri

INBOX I'd feel that way. No doubt about it. \n\nBut see what I just 

imsged. I don't know if "friendship" changes when it's a superior ‐ 

subordinate relationship, particularly when it's an advisor ‐ high 

ranking dynamic (in other words, I think it's different ‐ some ‐ from 

my relationship with  )

2016‐04‐08 

00:34:14, Fri

INBOX And interesting how elusive it is (for me, too!) to put ones finger 

on. \n\nI guess for me it's the thought (hope) that he's a stand up 

guy. And this is not stand up behavior. And when it's about YOU 

that's extra hard.\n\nLet me ask this (though maybe it doesn't 

translate). What would Giacalone do?

2016‐04‐08 

00:47:29, Fri

OUTBOX I do think it's because he's my friend too. And honestly, I know he's 

my vast superior, but he's never treated me like that. Nor I him. So 

mostly I do just consider him my friend.

2016‐04‐08 

00:49:36, Fri

OUTBOX Re giacalone, I really don't know. I think he would have taken it 

head on and addressed it, but he's such a different person, he 

would have done it in an awkward shucks‐y way. Andy's not like 

that, just has to be earnest and direct, which is harder. John would 

say, "hey c'mon go easy on her. She's helping me out, means no 

harm, etc." I think? But what do I know.

INBOX Because you know where I was on Thursday or Friday night ‐ when 

I was complaining about everyone expecting me to deliver the hard 

message while they vacillated in discussing with their counterparts. 

About how my sense of justness and character was at odds with 

waiting until Sat to say something. \n\nAnd rightfully, you point 

out stop being so prima donna‐ish and just do it. \n\nAnd i do. 

\n\nAnd then I find out an hour later that in addition to what I was 

asked to do, JB went to counsel and had the discussion he did. And 

I'm the one facing the music. From some who I have known for a 

long time.  Nobody else pays the price. Nobody else will have the 

same straight hard discussion. Yet I'm the only one who violated 

his sense of integrity to swallow hard and deliver the message.

2016‐04‐10 

02:09:52, Sun

INBOX I'm not sure if I want to be part of this

2016‐04‐10 

05:51:15, Sun

OUTBOX You are a part of this and that's not going to change. But I think 

you have every right to be angry and frustrated about being left 

out of the loop on your investigation, especially when you're going 

to be left holding the bag. And I think you're entitled to say 

something to Baker about that, though on this one I would 

probably discuss with Bill first.

2016‐04‐10 

05:52:00, Sun

you're still the right guy to do it.H1133

can skip the first.

INBOX  Bill wants to talk to me at 1215...

2016‐04‐11 

22:19:37, Mon

INBOX Just talked with Bill, who spoke with 

everyone this morning. Will fill you in tonight or tomorrow. 

\n\nAlso, he was under the impression Andy wanted the meeting 

and a prebrief with FBI only just before. I think   may have 

screwed up that scheduling. Can you check? Obviously want to 

confirm with him before going to

INBOX Oof. Laufman just left me a minute long message. Don't think I'm 

going to listen tonight. \n\nAnd it's weird. CES always shows as 

"restricted" when the call is coming in but then shows true name 

afterwards on the call list. Needless to say, I screen all restricted 

calls...

D was going to talk to the AG on Sun night or Mon about this.

2016‐04‐13 

02:21:03, Wed

INBOX My point in forwarding the email was to talk about how we get to 

a productive place

2016‐04‐13 

02:22:07, Wed

OUTBOX We'll get there, but for this meeting I'd solely just be taking   

lead.

2016‐04‐13 

02:29:48, Wed

INBOX Well sure, but would be nice to know what that lead is in advance 

rather than, I don't know, f*ck me in the *ss wirhout saying 

anything, kinda like   calling counsel the night before. \n\nToo 

much negative done to expect benefit of the doubt.

about the MYE thing? Really need to put it to rest. Certainly before 

the meeting tomorrow, if I can.

can certainly wait 

so free to talk.

OUTBOX Hi. I can talk now.

2016‐04‐14 

00:37:11, Thu

INBOX Thank you. \U0001f636 \n\nWas obviously constrained on my 

comments. What I identified IS what bothers me the most. And the 

rest is nonsense.

2016‐04‐14 

00:39:56, Thu

OUTBOX And I think that frustration is fair. But it doesn't change the 

fundamental okay‐ness of the prior two decisions (the summation

and the call to her). It just means it would be best to handle it 

differently in the future. And Jim WILL understand that. Just talk to 

him, one on one. You don't need to get Bill's permission, clear 

through him, just go talk to him. It will all be fine.

2016‐04‐14 

01:11:35, Thu

Even better, let him do your dirty work.

suck so much. I hope   has the self‐awareness and character to 

do so.

INBOX Talked to him just now, too. More info about George go if direct 

with Andy ‐ concern about info JB didn't have about the case in the 

context of his discussion with  , and the implication of the 

faulty telephone process going on with info flow in the fbi

want.H2010

INBOX Thanks for observations about JB. Cost of doing business if D and 

DD are going to use him.

2016‐04‐27 

01:22:58, Wed

OUTBOX And also, he's not "the team." This is all a red herring.

2016‐04‐27

OUTBOX Pisses me off a little that Andy hasn't called back. I guess it's 

possible he's still at dinner...

2016‐04‐27 

01:25:16, Wed

INBOX Who's not the team ‐ JB? Fine, but D and dd decided to use him. 

And if   accurate, was the cause of wondering what info is or 

isnt passed up. After all, of JB doesn't know that, what doesn't 

Andy know?

2016‐04‐27 

01:26:35, Wed

OUTBOX Yeah I get it, but George KNOWS jb. This is all bs. Whatever, I'm 

just irritated.

about jb and ta's position re  , just haven't had a

2016‐04‐27

INBOX And please re Andy don't go too far. He (and  ) knows we are 

close, right? And while what you're saying is exactly right, would 

you say it for any schmuck?

INBOX \U0001f636\U0001f636\U0001f636 (damn right \U0001f609)\n\nI 

think we mention that part (specifically that we're cleared to go 

back to task). I was talking about the specific allegation. We 

haven't discussed with him in a briefing we've given. I almost want 

to do it so 1) he knows we're aware 2) demonstrate that to Trisha 

and whoever else is deep in the "secret secret, ive got a secret" 

mindset and 3) get a sense of what he's thinking.

2016‐04‐27 

01:38:34, Wed

OUTBOX I just think andy is probably keeping him appraised of this, but we 

can talk about it.

2016‐04‐27 

01:42:03, Wed

INBOX Agree. It is substantive in that it is relevant to the case, just not 

sure if there is a decision point or information he would want in 

the context if his thinking about the issue.

2016‐04‐27 

01:52:01, Wed

OUTBOX Yeah, can maybe have bill ask andy, but otherwise don't think it's 

probably necessary.

INBOX Ha. Want to talk to you about   and her comment, too...

2016‐04‐27 

02:06:41, Wed

INBOX  stupid comment, and whether you want me to say 

anything to her

2016‐04‐27 

02:07:08, Wed

OUTBOX What would you say?

2016‐04‐27 

02:08:37, Wed

OUTBOX So, it looks like there is a networking/break starting at 2, then kerry 

sleeper from 2:15 to 2:45, then homicide trends at 2:45‐3:15, then 

another networking/break. I would schedule for 2:00.

2016‐04‐27 

02:09:07, Wed

OUTBOX Then 3:30 is Oregon standoff/managing relationships.

2016‐04‐27 

02:09:37, Wed

INBOX Just reinforce that you're good people, experienced, credible. Not 

"little" anything. Not sure it would make a difference but willing to.

2016‐04‐27 

02:10:34, Wed

OUTBOX I'd be more interested in finding out why she said it. "What was up 

with little counsel girl? Do you not like her?"

Hey just talked to Bill. He has not talked to Andy yet about Toseas 

but says he st ill int ends to. He said Andy was ina really bad mood 

this morning about a news article, pius ina rush. 

He was. Kortan majorly serewed up. 

Nothing related tous (mye or ed)? 

No. Not at all. 

hank you. l'm sure the "experts" in nsd wi ll be happy l 

eall him. \ n\ nBtw, how utterly f*eked up is it t hat George was by 

far and away the most aggressive DoJ person in the room today? 

Dude, your w rap is loooong. Waiting on Bill before reaehing out to 

CES, also eurious as to your t houghts about revised statement - Bi ll 

really wants to write somet hing.\ n\ nYou have a while to go yet ? 

Sorry one work Q l forgot - D mentioned Do you think that was 

something someone inside related to him or his outside eheeking 

up? 

He no doubt ealled 

Makes sense. Wasn't sure if it was something he heard from JB or 

Andy via the team 

My guess is eomplaints from j b and Andy about the low levels of 

engagement at doj led to diseussions of who is on the team ... 

l regret not saying (though l have in the past) is eah, might be 

ok, but edva is clearly seeond fiddle to nsd. 

This sueks already ... team walking to Woodward Table for farewell 

breakfast for he took a job at

INBOX Toscas showed up. Just like Thurs meeting, he was by far the most 

aggressive DoJ in the room. Literally siding with us and fighting 

back against   et al's concerns. \U0001f621\n\nI literally 

said, twice, stop framing your facts to them simply in terms of PC 

for an affidavit. Frame your argument in terms of what is most 

compelling in the big picture to achieve what we want, then 

narrow down to show how it links specifically to our case/pc/etc. 

\n\nI think George got it, but jeez. It's not so hard, is it?

2016‐04‐29 

16:51:39, Fri

OUTBOX It's not. They're just not very good. Can you call George, ask him to 

attend?

2016‐04‐29 

16:54:49, Fri

INBOX \U0001f60a D. \n\nHe's not. Already thought to myself, Jesus 

George, why can't you have this conversation. He got immediately 

what I was saying (granted, he may already have had the benefit of 

Andy telling him). It's a smart play. It's not complicated.

2016‐04‐29 

16:55:44, Fri

INBOX Will have to tell you my convo with   earlier and what   

said. After I left, he apparently said he was "tired of taking sh*t 

from the Bureau." \U0001f612

INBOX He didnt, directly. Certainly didn't say no way, but nor did he say, "I 

think you'll be able to do that." Two reasons, at least. Much easier 

for him to argue to advance me if he can say "Pete's willing to go 

to the east coast" or even mid‐atlantic than it is to say "Pete's 

limited to HQ and WFO."

2016‐04‐29 

18:10:48, Fri

INBOX Second reason is he went to NY and left his family here.

2016‐04‐29 

18:12:32, Fri

INBOX Always better to 

at least say "look, I'm open to the needs of the Bureau, just be 

aware of these factors" rather than "I must stay here"

2016‐04‐29

OUTBOX Especially if you do a 

gig as dad first. Or be like andy and be willing to not ever be 

promoted further because of your geographic limitations.

2016‐04‐29

INBOX I did tell him I'd be interested in being a DAD, he said good, some 

people aren't interested in that. I did caveat that later to CD by 

saying if Jones or Gordon left. I suppose I'd think hard about CYD or 

Crim or even CTD. Not Intel or other divisions.

Okay. Not anyone informed at the fbi.

Also, Andy's conference room is too big. Way too big. 

ll\ n\ nleave t he monitor wall in place. Too expensive to change. 

Move where he was sitting 15-20 closer to the screens. Liberate 

the remaining space. \ n\ nlt 's too big. \ n\ nAnd it may be $$, but it 's 

ridiculously too big. 

No way to change the room. The table alone was . (You can't 

repeat that!) No, instead it j ust means we now have to get a small 

conference table for his actual office, so t hat he can actually have a

jobs). Not my section, I don't think? \n\n(and Paarman is acting 

ead?!?!)

INBOX Your q made sense, I've just missed Jones' meetings today.

2016‐05‐11 

01:17:54, Wed

OUTBOX Yeah, no kidding. Except I have like a thousand page litigation 

outline that   put together that I need to review tonight.

2016‐05‐11 

01:18:51, Wed

OUTBOX And among the list of 1000 things I need to do is call 1500 or 

whomever to figure how to work 324 mail...

2016‐05‐11 

01:26:14, Wed

INBOX Is your 324mail password messed up? Or you just need a tutorial?

2016‐05‐11 

01:27:14, Wed

OUTBOX I never set up an account. Think I need them to do something to 

link my token to the account. But I don't really know how to do it.

2016‐05‐11 

01:31:48, Wed

INBOX Oh. They do. And I have no idea what that is. I think it's already 

linked to your rsa, but you've got to set up a PIN.

2016‐05‐11 

01:32:27, Wed

OUTBOX I figure it's probably not the same as my eras pin. Maybe I should 

just try tomorrow...

2016‐05‐11 

01:32:52, Wed

INBOX It's not

2016‐05‐11

unclassified systems reminded me of my irritation about the brief

INBOX Hey def have Andy talk to John/George about urgency if he hasn't. 

I spoke to David,can explain later, tried to communicate the same 

thing to him. Got a "we're waiting on next version of affidavit from 

you." I am certain there are other things that can be getting 

prepped.

going along with it all. Tried calling John and George but no 

answer.

2016‐05‐12 

11:08:54, Thu

OUTBOX Totally off topic, but I'm kind of bummed: Randy offered to take 

Andy to the offsite using a Blackhawk on Monday. It's easier for 

him to have   drive, bc it's relatively closer from here. Wah wah.

2016‐05‐12 

11:11:37, Thu

INBOX And I'll start percolating   up next week. Figure a week or two 

to discuss, then calendar. Though honestly I wonder if it's stupid to 

even consider before the 15th

2016‐05‐12 

11:12:08, Thu

INBOX Two days is doable, though, assuming it's not the week he wants to 

make the speech

2016‐05‐12 

11:14:20, Thu

OUTBOX Yeah, it probably is. And there's a strong risk andy will say you're 

too important to the case and need to stay here.

2016‐05‐12 

11:18:04, Thu

OUTBOX Re  , yeah, but it might end up being him and I and a hunch of 

others too, and I don't really want that. That's what happened last 

time.

2016‐05‐12 

12:32:52, Thu

at 11 about timeliness

if we needed the meeting tomorrow afternoon

22:48:06, Thu

OUTBOX Did you ask Andy if he still wanted to meet tomorrow?

2016‐05‐12 

22:49:41, Thu

INBOX I did not. I had left when Eric caught me. I told Eric I deferred to 

Andy about whether or not we needed to meet. We did not talk 

about what we planned to tell the D on Mon.

2016‐05‐12 

23:39:39, Thu

INBOX Spoke to   and relayed Andy's message. Told him Andy was 

relaying to Carlin. Richard said he'd wait to hear from on high. 

Carlin and George are definitely going to have to message down

cram about 20 all soothed together (but that's SUPER tight). Is   

going?

DOJ's or ours?  If you cant go, I'll take you to lunch and make 

helicopter noises. ;)\n\nI just did a mass cull down on 324mail. 

Talking to Bill at 7:45. Did some open source 

research, no way we get that data on our own.

OUTBOX I know. It has to be nsd.

2016‐05‐15 

23:00:39, Sun

INBOX I need some clarifying data ‐ just retention, right? While it might be 

helpful to put in Petraeus, Hitselberger, that's only to show they 

are different, ie, involve transmittal to another person. He just 

wants fact patterns where it was only retention, not disclosure, 

right? And taking graviman literally, list will not include more 

serious cases/disclosures which are more than retention.

2016‐05‐15 

23:59:40, Sun

OUTBOX Yes, that's what I would say.

2016‐05‐16 

00:49:01, Mon

INBOX Just finished with Bill.

2016‐05‐16 

01:06:08, Mon

INBOX Talked to 

Bill for about an hour. He mentioned email, said he would send 

(though he hasn't yet). He had a slightly different take than I did 

but we'll get there. His primary concern is asking DoJ in such a way 

that they respond straight to the D (which I can see happening) 

without us getting a chance to review for accuracy / spin.

OUTBOX Insist it go through the DD. Then I'll give it to you.

2016‐05‐16

ask  . I think Bill should ask George.   is just going to 

bitch and moan. George sees the d three times a week. He is not 

going to say no.

2016‐05‐16

rybicki about what they can or can't do.

INBOX Fine but then George tasks them and they ask me...when am I 

supposed to mention it? Seeing as how I own this program and all.

OUTBOX Pete. I'm trying to save you some crap from them. Don't get your 

back up about it. When they ask you, you talk about it. What's the 

big deal? All they are going to do when you tell them is wait to 

hear from on high. So all I'm saying is start there.

I need DoJ and NSLB to get me an answer, because I'm 

briefing everyone there are different options available. And the 28 

CFR guidance seems problematic from a warrant perspective.

2016‐05‐17 

10:25:03, Tue

OUTBOX I don't think it is. Plus, it's just policy.

2016‐05‐17 

10:27:26, Tue

INBOX 28 CFR is not just policy. But I think there's a path through it as you 

noted

2016‐05‐17 

10:35:58, Tue

OUTBOX Yes, this is true. But let's be honest, it's not like they've pointed to 

the cfr as the reason. So let them come up with something.

2016‐05‐17 

10:43:03, Tue

INBOX They haven't pointed to it because they haven't done the 

research!!! But when they finally do, presumably before a meeting, 

they will, and we need to have a response lined up.\n\nAnd hi. I 

hate this case. 

2016‐05‐17 

10:43:47, Tue

OUTBOX I also hate this case. And it's not even mine.

for being on the team. But whatever.

2016‐05‐17 

11:00:53, Tue

INBOX I, and to a lesser extent Jon, know exactly what you do. I think   

is ambivalent, for a lot of reasons you understand. \n\nAnd as you 

said, you work for Andy. And you get exposure to and credit for a 

billion other things the team never will. Just happens that this one 

case is a big deal right now. It God willing won't be in a couple of 

months. If you want to tdy out you could be full time in a New York 

minute.\n\nI'm trying to understand the underlying source of your 

frustration ‐ it's across everything that came up yesterday ‐ my 

miscommunication as you drove in about talking to   to start the 

SW conversation, about my interaction with Bill about Jones, now 

about this. \n\nI think it's a struggle with recognition vs result, with 

soft power. And I worry a bit that your broad consideration of it is 

getting all distilled down and played out, fairly or unfairly, over 

this.

INBOX The main thing   mentioned in the conversation was whether 

 thought the director and Deputy should be on the line, 

because they were attorneys who thought that way. There was no 

mention of I don't agree with Lisa. My sense was she wanted to 

understand what you have read and thought, nothing more.

Auckland 14‐16.\n\nI mean wtf. Have some sense, man.

OUTBOX That's really outrageous.

2016‐05‐18 

11:49:08, Wed

INBOX I'm not going to. I've got to call him today. Since he didn't get 

business, he's entitled to a delay in route of one night, 3/4 days 

M&IE on each day. I'll let him explain that to me, though. \n\nThe 

rental car, no.\n\nOh, this was all in conjunction with his wife. 

Didn't use Carlson, "Contacted Carlson and determined there is no 

contract carrier to Nz. Due to this fact, and to ensure my wife could 

travel with me at am acceptable cost, I booked through other 

means."

2016‐05‐18

Yuck indeed. You all t ake a long t ime with them, which is good, l 

guess. We do 15 minutes.\n\nAlso, l'm t hinking you shouldn't 

mention the- nonsense to Andy. l'm irrit ated, but not 

bother the DD irritated. 

Yeah, but you know these folks already. Or at least know someone 

who knows them. These are mostly cold interviews.\n\nWe'l l see. 

And l just realized l'm going to have to come back downtown after

INBOX Hey sent you some email going around this morning. Don't know if 

you noted one of them from last night,   said   never 

responded to his email for update. We're talking in an hour, I'm 

going to encourage him to speak to Andy and   about it, that 

it's undermining his position and effectiveness (to Andy) and that 

it's unprofessional (to  ). Obvious problem is its not easy for 

any   to say that to the DD, nor   personality. \n\nThe best 

way may simply be for him to say to Andy, you know, I contacted 

 to follow up on the D's request and he didn't so much as 

send me an email, even to tell me he was going to talk to you. Let 

Andy infer the right leadership action / response.

long text, just that   didn't bother following up with me at 

all, and just leave it at that. You can even tell   if you want that I 

got mad/frustrated at andy for agreeing to let it go straight to the 

DD, and I don't want it to seem like we're piling on the dd.

INBOX I'm REALLY angry about the consent letter right now. Much worse 

than last night. \n\nIt's the little things, like her writing no agents 

will participate in the otd review. That sense of entitlement about 

how we staff is the result of Andy not simply saying "no" to doj 

about the obnoxious filter staffing demand

2016‐06‐08

INBOX Filter says 2 atty one SA one IA but makes no mention of

lot of things on the very margins and don't have much left to 

bargain with, don't get in a huge back and forth with

him, he throws off his helmet and charges the mounds."

INBOX Bottom line in their first counter offer DOJ is giving up a ton. I said 

fine, we can live with this, but this is about the most we can live 

with. So if you expect an extended back and forth with   don't 

give so much right out of the gate.

text

2016‐06‐10 

19:21:33, Fri

INBOX Yes otd is ready. \n\nD is the one who asked how early we could 

talk tentative scheduling. D asked if we could do that now (at date 

of last brief). I said I thought we should wait until we had laptops in 

hand. D said, I think that's right. Thats what I was going off of

2016‐06‐10

he wants to wait until we actually have eyes on docs.

2016‐06‐10 

19:25:32, Fri

INBOX Also, what I discussed with   was don't discuss specific 

dates, but throw the willingness out there, tell   if we find a 

lot of material on laptops we might need more time

2016‐06‐10 

19:25:54, Fri

OUTBOX I just andy to call your cell if he has more qs.

2016‐06‐10 

19:26:25, Fri

OUTBOX Andy said:\n\nI am inclined to wait for now. Let's get a peek at it 

first, see how long oyd thinks it will take to make sense of 

anything, etc.

2016‐06‐10

OUTBOX K. Thanks

2016‐06‐10 

19:40:03, Fri

INBOX Hey talked with him just now. Pls give me a holler when you're 

done, want to ensure he knows I'm not questioning what he wants 

to do, just explaining why we proposed reaching out

2016‐06‐10 

19:41:22, Fri

OUTBOX Okay. It just started so it is going to be a while

2016‐06‐10 

19:43:33, Fri

INBOX Np. I think we're good, but I just ran thru what D said. Agreed with 

Andy that smarter thing is to wait and see what's on there but 

likely no way we hit summer solstice if we do that.

2016‐06‐10 

19:45:43, Fri

INBOX Funny, I'm sure it's perfectly fine but got that funny feeling telling 

the DD that the D said something different from him. Andy noted 

he told   that we wouldn't schedule interview until laptops 

were reviewed and D didn't have that info, then said he'd take care 

of D.\n\nI just don't want him thinking that I felt he needed to 

explain himself to me.

2016‐06‐10 

19:46:19, Fri

OUTBOX I really wouldn't worry about it, but yes, of course we can talk.

2016‐06‐10

other once we get these dammed things

are you talking about?!

2016‐06‐12 

01:34:41, Sun

INBOX I'm not saying they didn't deserve it. I'm saying their background 

gave them an advantage the upper class white boy didn't get

INBOX They earned it. But so did lots of others.

2016‐06‐12 

01:36:36, Sun

INBOX And I'm not talking about these two. I'm talking about the pros and 

cons of considering anything other than merit for admission.

2016‐06‐12 

01:36:41, Sun

OUTBOX No it f‐ing did not. Their background gave them an advantage?! 

They grew up in a home, in all likelihood, where their parents were 

illiterate. Probably wholly uneducated. Undoubtedly poor. Yeah, 

those lucky girls who got to bubble in "Mexican."

gave them an advantage that upper white kids didn't get and that 

is completely BULLSHIT.

2016‐06‐12 

01:40:37, Sun

INBOX Yes, their background did. They deserve to go, as do thousands of 

others.

OUTBOX If they were the valedictorian and we undocumented and had the 

same story, I dare say they'd be going the same damn place.

OUTBOX That is bs. And I agree with that. That is fake diversity, and we both 

know that. Don't you dare lump these girls,  who on top of 

everything else, had the courage to state that they were 

undocumented, in with   kid.

INBOX These two are being held up because of the broader issue. Distill 

the calculus, and the argument. What is the value of diversity such 

that we can measure it against other qualifications? Like being 

young and rooting for Bernie until you start earning a paycheck, I 

find my views on admissions / hiring have been changed by 

watching 

2016‐06‐12 

01:46:58, Sun

INBOX I'm not lumping them in. They are a great success story. But the 

question of their story is whether or not the process unduly 

weights the decision.

2016‐06‐12 

01:47:10, Sun

INBOX Take the two of them out of it

2016‐06‐12 

01:47:25, Sun

INBOX Should race play an additional plus in admission?

2016‐06‐12 

01:47:35, Sun

INBOX Should economic background?

2016‐06‐12 

01:47:40, Sun

OUTBOX I get that. But a classroom filled with kids with only one experience 

is not education. They necessarily bring a different outlook, and 

their race, and status, are a part of that.

INBOX On September 13, 2007, Martin appeared on Comedy Central's The 

Colbert Report to discuss Mother Teresa's fifty‐year sense of 

abandonment by God which had much coverage in the media at 

the time. Martin appeared several more times on The Colbert 

Report, once to discuss Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the U.S. in 

April, 2008,[8] and again on February 23, 2009 to discuss how 

poverty (or, at least, reducing the importance one places on 

material goods) can bring one closer to God.[9]\n\nOn March 18, 

2010, Martin was invited to the program in the wake of Glenn 

Beck's suggesting that Catholics run away from priests who preach 

"social justice."[10] Martin noted that "social justice addresses the 

things that keep people poor" and "asks you why are these people 

poor." He added that "Christ asked us to work with the poor. ... In 

the Gospel of Matthew He says that the way that we're going to be 

judged at the end of our lives is not what church we prayed in or 

how we prayed but really ... how we treated the poor."

INBOX Yeah not a big deal ‐ was supposed to in PDB today but will run 

tomorrow. Info is not time sensitive. I think it was more (all 

allegedly according to our PDB people, who may be dramatic) that 

she didn't get her question answered before the follow on briefing.

my doj days and don't. Makes me frustrated. Will need to look it 

up tonight.

2016‐06‐18 

22:15:49, Sat

OUTBOX Just can't remember what kind of contact is permissible once a 

subject has lawyered up pre‐charges. I know an ausa can't contact, 

but I thought a source still could. Usao and doj are saying no, and I 

seriously can't remember.

2016‐06‐18 

22:43:20, Sat

INBOX But hasn't been charged? I think we have much more latitude than 

attys do, provided we don't coordinate (which I think triggers 

McDade stuff). But I'm far less an authority than you. I do think we 

can use sources, though. Call a good cdc, they'll know. Sadly I can't 

point you to one at

INBOX Well you may not come back if they go 

video route, right?

2016‐06‐19

OUTBOX Video, no. I just doubt that is going to happen.

INBOX I hope not (re video). But it's clear that's how JR is pushing

their interests ‐ to tell him he cant, or even that he shouldn't, do it.

2016‐06‐19

EXTREMELY awkward.

INBOX Doj will be fine. They'll huff and puff but ultimately what are they 

going to do? Truly. In 4 hours? They can barely assemble a 

conference call in that time. .

2016‐06‐19

confusion anyway. It'll be Ok...

insubordination if he can...

OUTBOX Florida has a different rule re represented parties. It is really bad 

for us.

2016‐06‐19 

15:16:20, Sun

INBOX Oh. What was the answer? All this based on bar rules

2016‐06‐19 

15:19:29, Sun

OUTBOX Yup. Pretty much as soon as we tell usao, we are prohibited from 

making any contact. Terrible disincentive to not talk to your usao.

2016‐06‐19 

19:34:32, Sun

INBOX Funny how it all comes down to state bar rules. Seems very 

capricious, like there should be some supremacy clause to get us 

out of it...

INBOX Meanwhile I'm sitting here spinning in my head about the case. 

Angry at myself for not thinking about raising Judiciary and Intel

Clearly the man is, though. Just feels like I dropped the ball.

INBOX That's great advice but they all kind of tumble around in there 

together, inseparable. \U0001f615\n\nThe interview needs 

tweaking, the 302s need a fine edit, the summaries need to be 

written, I need to see what I did wrong or forgot or put off and not 

do that again and I need to do background for the job application, 

combination of I'm perfect for the job and not good enough and 

not going to get it and and and.

2016‐06‐28 

11:04:18, Tue

OUTBOX You're probably not going to get it. But that's not because you're 

not good enough. That's because of the egos of other people in our 

organization. So we'll try the best we can, and know that you'll get 

it eventually.

2016‐06‐28

INBOX I'll be retired, eventually. Certainly well before I get to AD, if I have 

to spend the time in each job that miraculously doesn't apply to 

the chosen few. But I need my CT club card to do that. 

2016‐06‐28

OUTBOX In fairness, you've been a SC for four months. We'll do our 

research, but I think you're going to be hard pressed to find even a 

CT SC who was promoted that quickly.

less (frequently MUCH less) competent leadership advance. Case in 

point: who's my new boss? Who are all these great SACs with CI 

backgrounds?

articles last night, just because. Maybe an answer to their 

occasional grumbling about our 7th floor.

2016‐06‐30

OUTBOX What grumbling? Not following.

2016‐06‐30

And dang it, l'm hoping to catch Rybicki to throw out the Q of 

watching, caveated with the acknowledgment of complete 

undertaking of the million reasons the answer may be "no," alas, 

without success. 

Oid you end up telling Andy about what l toid you about the • · 

stuff, or did Bill broach it? 

asked him why the change, he said that was for him to know.„. 

Bill talked to him about it last night. l talkee!. to andy about it today 

again. He is going to broach it with DAG extra week, but he wants 

CD and e D to have a lan for review. 

Any intrigue on the MYE front? \n\nAnd damn it's going tobe 

miserable to have you away for a 

week ..... U0001f636 U0001f636 U0001f636 U0001f636 

No, didn't talk about mye except for if l saw the lynch articles. 

Going in to wrap wi~h Bill. This ought to be interesting. 

Oof. Hi. Sounds tike a comparatively redueed - stress day, though. 

\u263a\n\nJust talked to Andy for an hour. Have MANY details for 

you. Have to write something with Jon and 

if you want/can talk around 4:45 or later? 

ow, let me know 

Yes, he mentioned you were meeting. Let me know when you are 

free to talk. 

Oid you guys ever write the disclaimer on the lhm? 

Damn. Just saw your article. 

Writing that now. And yes, damn re article. Says the FBI declined 

comment. Great 'ob NPO. 

What were they supposed to say? 

Nothing! But they were suppo~ed to give us a heads up instead of 

the dead silence we ot! ! ! ! 

This is *slightly* notable news 

FYI the thing Jon just sent DoJ is having real agita about. l have 

talked with both Laufman and explained the reason why

Oid you read the nyt write l,IP this morning? \n\nThe interview had 

been weeks in the ma kingas law enforcement officials and Mrs. 

Clinton\u2019s team coordinated schedules. Democrats also 

hoped that holding the interview on a holiday weekend might ease 

the anticipated storm.\n\nln a telephone interview with Chuck 

Todd on MSNBC after her meeting, Mrs. Clinton said, 

\u201cl\u2019ve been eager to do it, and l was pleased to have 

the opportunity toassist the department in bringing its review toa 

conclusion.\u201d\n\nAccompanying Mrs. Clinton ·into the 

meeting were her lawyer David E. Kendall; Cheryl D. Mills and 

Heather Samuelson, longtime aides who are a Iso lawyers; and two 

lawyers from Mr. Kendall\u2019s firm, Williams & Connolly, 

Katherine Turner and Amy Saharia.\n\nEight officials from the 

F.B.I. and the Department of Justice conducted the interview, 

according toa person who was familiar with the substance of the 

session but declined to be named because the meeting was 

private. This person characterized the meeting as 

\u201ccivil\u201d and \u201cbusinesslike.\u201d 

Eight, because f*cking DoJ is ridlculous. What l didn't say in the 

conference call is that- and comments were largely 

unnecessa .„ Mrs. Clinton had no public events scheduled on Saturday, but after 

her F.B.I. interview she and her husband, former President Bill 

Clinton, went to New York and saw the Broadway show

Why the cursing above? l read the email, didn't find it that 

troublin . 

A) l'm sorry. l tigured it would be :(\ nB) high side email. JB noted 

something that had a carry-over paragraph on the next page. First 

part was redacted, second wasn't. lt's all marked s, question is 

whether it should be higher. l don't think it is (and hey, had a 

person who was one of the highest ranking OCAs in the govt at the 

time tel! me yesterday she thought it was U \U0001f612), but just 

embarrassing. Then, in my "hey heads up don't forward 

attaehment and treat this as higher until we get this sorted out, i 

cited the wrong page. \U0001f621 Because that also has 

something which is arguable. Why l hate sending drafts around. 

l know we don't have have a choice given timing. 

lt's okay. Everyone understands what a eruneh you're under. 

Talked things thru with Bill. l'm glad l can be a voice of calm, a 

securit blanket. 

What's bill freaking out about now? 

lnterview, W&C comments, his convo with Andy (sounds similar to 

yours), what more we could do, if we're on the right path, 

mana in uncertaint and fear and doubt. 

l'm glad he has you too. 

Re-reading, for like the billionth time, his statement. And fact 

checkin a ain .... 

you shouldn't be· worrying about Tuesday, that isn~t what 

--matters. 

liiiiiiiiii\n\nNo determination from State yet about whether 

they were classified at the time. \n\nBased on above, l think it l 

reasonable to say we believe - emails with portions 

marked (C) in t.he bodies are classified (C) now and by extension 

(current classification and contemporaneous marking) were 

classified at the time.

Get what, the redlines? Yeah, sounds right. Why - Just bc of 

Steinbach's involvement oin forward? 

Yes re - Should l not, at least on this? He wasn't involved in

Pius he may be votirig on the OAD job soon . .. 

There's noharm in including her, l suppose. 

Or ask to ask Andy who he wants to have·it? mentioned it to 

him last ni ht 

That's probably smartest 

Yup. That's the right move. 

His transcript is even more impressive than hearing it spoken. 

Concise/cris and accurate 

He's amazing. t mean, think about it. He spoke for four and a half 

hours straight, and made virtually no errors. lt's incredibly 

im ressive. 

ading~ to SIOC. You may be home when l'm done '----• 

Not good. He threw DOJ a lifeline and politicized his position. 

That's the general consensus from everyone l've spoken te. One 

current SAC was shocked and dismayed. l'm sure you're swamped 

but let's catch u next week 

God that really offends me. --~~~~~~~~~--

Read it in the context of the Wittes piece l just emailed. 

Of course re JB's email please make sure someone invites us to any

ittoo. 

Bill wanted to know if he should call him, send some articles. 

Call whom? Andy? 

Yes, Andy. l sent him the Wittes article, and l think he saw the 

Miller one ealling it an abuse of power. \n\nl just have no faith in 

Congress te respeet our investigative information. The LHM and no 

more. Not even senior people's 302, uniess what we'd release via

10:43:42, Tue with Moffa before then about our control tendencies l issues. l 

think my underlying worry, outside of the simple unease with

to my 830„.\U0001f612 

l'm talking to - about American exceptionalism right now. 

Pretty strongly in favor. As l said to ~oesn't mean we're perfect or 

do everything right, but as a system of government, country of 

laws l think we're rett damn real. 

But there's a difference between that and exceptionalism. Just look 

at the word. lt implies not only that we're great, but that you suck. 

And that we are better and you should change to be like us. lt goes 

hand in hand with American arro ancism

Hi. emailed me, so im hoping that might mean you're

@OO @And hey. l j ust had an extraordinary flash of anger that aur 

long-stated desire to DoJ ta get us comments by Thursday in order 

to have a meetin on Frida 

@OO@y was trumped by - ano being absent. You 

know what? I'm absent now. 1'11 be back on Wed. So, DoJ, stick to 

the ori inal time frame we've had 

@OO@so Pete can be present. l guess- and being 

there is SO much more important. Crank crank crank. \n\nAre we 

stiil havin a meetin on Fri? 

@ 8 @ And just heard from Jon. Thanks so so much for having the 

discipline to wait another 24 hours to have the first meeting about 

the case with DoJ. l reall 

@ 8 @v appreciate it. 

Jesus. The.re's a lot to read here. Let me call 

and l will eal! ou. 

:heck in with andy, 

@ P @Yeah well l'm going to go write some recollections from the 

interviews this afternoon_. The fact that l'm thinking of things that l 

'ust mentioned ri ht n 

@ P @ow that l didn't immediately remember makes me think l 

need to et them ·otted down. 

Ooh. Remind me about the seif and the embassy history. 

And l want to tell you now. \U0001f636 

The first part needs to be on another system, though. Or in person. 

Oaoh. And remind me 

U0001f628 ---------------

Think so. Not sure. For sure his RNC experience is going tobe a 

zero, don't know enou h to tell more. 

A zero in terms of not the same c;:haracters? 

Also, lhm preamble is fine. l cannot believe how long it took 

\U0001f612 

Just don't think it's going to be useful. Think interaetions are going 

tobe more with his security toiks. (Bc he has private, ex-Bu ones in

Entering turnstiles now. Your office? 

Dude you there? 

ln answer to your question, was in wrap. 

Fun! 

l need to call fason first 

Struggling with he roie of the new job. l get what you were saying 

about "don't bellll" where everything has to go t hrough me, 

but l don't know if that's entirely right. l better know what's going 

on in my branch. l better know more about what's going on under 

me than my AD, and surely more than the EAD or you or Andy or 

the D.\n\nl get find people who can do a good job and !et them do 

it. Completely agree. lt's figuring out the right amount to be 

involved to track and guide, provide input. 

08:55:17, Tue \ n\nAnd let's talk about the OAD thing later. All l'm saying is worry 

and be present for the things that matter, not the things that don't.

My poi nt is, that brief went super well. So even if you would have 

phrased a fee things differently, and even of you would have liked 

to have known every fact before hand, it was superbly. And you 

not knowing was very much a function of your not being here on 

Friday. So all l'm saying is focus on the things that matter. 

l guess. Stiil not entirely comfortable with it. Will figure that out, 

there's an element of Jon in there that l also need to clarify what 

l'm feeling, what's reasonable, what's not. \n\nThanks for being 

there to hear all my doubt and concern 

Last thing: l get knowing more than the guy above you, but Mike 

knew far far less than even Andy and l knew about it. Hell, he didn't 

even know we were having the brief. And l completely under how 

frustrated that must have made him, but ultimately, the brief was 

no worse off. Again, it's the focus on the things that matter. 

Let me ask you this. How man times had you heard that brief, 

between re for that and and otherwise? 

and then on Friday.

Then you heard the prebrief on Fri to Andy, then this one. You've 

heard it at least FOUR times. 

Yeah but that's generally nQtDf, (re Mike). He came in late to MYE 

and has been in and aut of nd he HAO the TPs for this, he just 

chose not ta read them. Because Jon made sure tasend them to 

Oina and Bill and Mike, but stiil hasn't sent them to me. \n\nThats 

what l'm saying- there's some stuff that's reasonable for me to ask 

. and not reasonable for Jon not to do - hey dude, email me, just ee:, 

the TPs please - and stuff ~hat isn't. \n\nAnd this is only a tiny bit of 

ALL the stuff going on. Had a truly horrible proposal for an op come 

out of WFO in CD2.

lnquiry\n \nhttp ://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/30/us/ politics/har 

-reid-russia-tam erin -election-fbi.html 

But Mr. Reid argued that the connections between some af Donald 

J. Trump\u2019s former and eurrent advisers and the Russian 

leadership should, by itself, prompt an investigation. He referred 

indirectly in his letter toa speech given in Russia by one Trump 

adviser, Carter Page, a consultant and investor in the energy giant 

Gazprom, who criticized American sanctions policy toward 

Russia.\n\n\u201cTrump and his people keep saying the election is 

.rigged,\u201d Mr. Reid said. \u201cWhy is he saying that? Because 

people are telling him the election can be messed with.\u201d Mr. 

Trump\u2019s advisers say they are conceroed that unnamed 

elites could rig the election for his apponent, Hillary Clinton.

Can you talk to me and ask? 

No. Factual. Three more comments from the wash times. 

Yes, if v.au can talk. 

Def get with - for legal analysis. FRA contains language about 

each agency establishing record keeping procedures, and l vaguely 

reeall it's not clear that she was not in compliance with State's 

ro ram at the time. 

Obviously if Andy is good with the statement; l'm not adding "me 

too"! 

Need to go to wrap. Because l'm so stupid and loyal l stayed here 

the sa me da so that And doesn't miss an thin . 

l can't. Now the Midyear production has to happen tomorrow. And

Yeah, and get everyone the copies they need, and tell baker and 

doj and wait for all the hill notifications and teil the agency. l'm not 

ivin State an advance warnin . F them. 

Email. They all have secretaries who can print for them. Jason 

handles the hill. lt will ALL work out without ou there 

And yes, totally. F State. No heads up 

Yeah, well you can add that to the list of things that is never going 

to happen, iike me gaining the respeet of superiors simply because 

l work hard and do a ood 'ob. 

l'm also incredibly disappointed in Bill. l would have hoped for 

some follow-up from him. Even just feedback or thanks or 

disagreement or something. But instead he just fell off the map. 

You should take tomorrow off. 

The Bu will continue as it has for decades. 

You know l'm not going to stay home. You can stop insisting. 

And l'm not going to stop telling you that's a bad decision, that the 

bureau - and MYE - will be ·ust fine

Forgot to show you this text from Eric, who is essentially blaming 

me for Andy's late hours:\n\nGood deal. l aisa want to stay a little 

tighter in the future so we can ensure Unity of effort for both Andy 

and the whole floor. This will a Iso help in sfreamlining any after 

wrap discussions with Andy as l want to try and get him aut the 

door at a more reasonable hour then what he has been doing. And 

that goes for you too! 

Andy's the DD. He's going to be late. You've got nothing to do with 

it. U0001f612 

Wha~ 1 wanted to respand is how is staying tighter going to allow 

Andy to get out earlier? ls Eric going to cover my questions? 

Streamlining after wrap discussions? How about Andy decides 

whether he wants that? 

Exactly. No. Maybe it will allow him to understand the depth of 

what ou're doin . 

Which l'm ftne with. So j ust sit down with us after wrap. But don't 

make more oddamn work for me. 

Yeah l'm not sure what he thinks he's accomplishing other than 

understanding what you're doing. At which point he'll say (if he's 

smart), oh, wow, that's a lot, and then let you go. After wasting 

yourtime. 

Checkout my 9:30 mtg on the 7th 

l can teil you why you're having that meeting. 

lt's not what you think. 

TPs for D? 

Yes, bc patus wants to know everything we are doing. 

l'm sure an honest answer will come out of that 

meetin .... U0001f612 

- never knocks on the door. lt's kind of weird.\n\nWhat are 

you doing? Why are you gone so much? God!

Yes! About what? 

Gotta figure that out tomorrow. lnsider threat perhaps. Maybe 

Electoral shenanigans. l'm between Clapper and Evanina and 

another erson or two 

Stupid ass - and t:J and l don't think she was successful.

Got it. You going to talk to him? You said at the time he backed you 

u . 

But might be better to !et it go for now? 

He just didn't leave me out the hanging, but he didn't say, thanks 

like that. 

How about go to him, say, you know how you said you appreciated . 

it when l gave you honest feedback, that that's rare? l'd appreciate 

the same from you. What do you think about how last week 

unfolded? 

But you CANNOT burn me as a source ... 

And l'm far more pissed that after doing it, he didn't come to me 

separately and say thanks or l'm not sure you made any progress 

but thanks an wa or ANYTHING. 

Nope. F it. He wants to lose an ally, so be it. 

l think he was feeling the results of Mike talking to him. Put 

yourself in his shoes, with his personality. Not saying he's right, but 

l'm saying he's thoughtful and different from Mike and Randy. 

\n\nWhile l'd be angry, too, l wouldn't throw out an ally/work 

r i . 

He didn't seil you out. Just understand his personality and your 

relationshi and consider that.

Of course. l presume a call later not worth it the trouble for you? 

And l'm now more worried about me. Think Jon is fine 

Depends, 

You have nothing to worry about. They'll both be gone before your 

next ·ab. AND the both like ou. lt's ME the don't like. 

ls it detail i need to know before tomorrow? 

A) then why you and Bill both getting by na me mentions of me\ nB) 

no. Onl the fresher it is the more detail. 

l'm oid and forgetful. ;) 

A) Pete, it's going to be tine. Don't make this something else ta 

unnecessarily worry about. Your reputation precedes you, and the 

D and DD think you're great. Worry about those things that matter. 

Sigh. l want to believe that but for my boss mentioning it to me. 

Just i nore that? 

lt's a mention about perception. Be aware of perception. l wouldn't 

wor further than that. 

And uh yeah, your advice for me, even when you know l am in the 

line of tire, is alwa s, f them. So ... 

You're leaving in 18 months. And you work directly for the DD. 

l don't have another job, and when he leaves l have no job. 

l'm just saying if the advice is good enough for me.„ 

l also sometimes advise you to keep your head down ;) 

l appreciate what you're telling me. l'm saying advice for you and 

me may be slightly different. l am part of that white male agent 

hierarchy. Well below the DD.\n\nAnd i fully appreciate your 

advice to be aware of the perception and otherwise F them, keep 

r . 

That white male hierarchy that NEVER eats its own. That pushes 

even idiots forward for promotion. l think you're going tobe okay. 

Sigh. Agreed. 

l don't know. l think l was feeling momentarily resentful at your 

worry. Yours is speculative and distant, mine is front and center 

and the in fact named roblem. 

Probably not bring fair to you, l realize.

No prob. Just ealling to say l called jason, toid him everything, 

including having a call without him. He totally agreed. Toid him l 

would draft TPs this weekend too, he's grateful for it. 

\u263a thanks. l'd like to help, obviously 

l'd appreciate it, obviously. Going to send an email to mye cor:e 

team to tell them 1'11 draft TPs this weekend, but will likely need a 

look Sunda ni ht. 

\u263a5till thinking to draft on Sunday? 

Yeah, think so. Maybe Saturday night. We'll see. 

lf-sets up the call the real test will be whether he sends 

me the eal! in info. l am an , Pete. \U0001f621 

Just ask Andy, no? The problem is no one on that call has 

knowledge of the case anywhere near you. Face it,-was 

utterly absent for it. Not saying he shouldn1t be there, but indude 

Bill. And obviousl au. 

Oh, 1'11 get the info. l just have a feeling l'm going to be left off 

"accidentall .

11 

God, l'm really in a bad mood now. 

l hape l'm wrong. 

or whoever will. And you ---

Re l'm not sure he has the intellectual curiosity to call in. 

How's that for an insult? 

And re my last, l'd add that at this point the questions at this point 

are organizational risk best answered by people with thoughtful 

smarts. And l'm not sure about the group on there, either. 

B) thing is, there are VERY inflammatory things in the 302s we 

didn't turn over to Congress (because they wer.en't relevant to 

understanding the focus of the investigation) that are going to 

come out in FOIA and absolutely inflame Congress. l'm sure Jim 

and Trisha and Dave and Mike are all considering how things like 

that play out as they talk amongst themselves. 

You never toid me what she said; when l asked you pushed back a 

little. 

So l didn't press you on it.

1'11 teil you. Just didn't feel like talking about it that time you 

brou ht it u . 

B) and as they prep Jason. Who is going to be the first person they 

call. That settles it - l'm ealling hihi, or at least giving you material 

l 

so he's aware of it (which l GU~RANTEE didn't come up yesterday). 

Want to imsg it to me, or want to do it in person? 

lt's not that sensitive. 

Ok. You can imsg just for convenience of typing, too, if you wa nt. 

l know the material. The ;tuff, right? l know it. ------ And the state shenanigans stuff. Anything else? 

Certainly those. Probably others. All the laptops and media 

voluntarily turned over tous by the attorneys ("why didnt you ever 

serach this"? "Why isnt this relevant to our oversight 

responsibilities"?) l want to go read through the ones we didn't 

produce. The point is Reps will try and spin and attack whatever is 

Re 302s, didn't search the laptops given tous voluntarily by various 

attorne s. 

Why not? Decision that it was unlikely ta contain info relevant to 

our case in like of time constraints? 

They would not consent and we did not have probable cause to get 

on them. 

l will go review the 302s we didn't turn over and send thoughts to 

everyone except the 0 corridor recipients. You or Trisha or Jason 

can mention to them. 

Oh well that's totally defendable. Why did they give them to 

us?\n\nYeah, but l think that was the context in which it was 

eant. l.e. like who sucks more me or her? 

it's not worth your time. l

1

ve got it. Truly. 

1'11 put a placeholder in - there may be more unsavory facts, these 

are the ones l'm aware of. 

Because they had classified on them. Classified we already had in 

our possession. \n\nlisa, it's a mistake not to have someone from 

the investigative team not quietly back benching on these 

conversations. l know you may not disagree. l will prep you asbest 

l can. 

l know that! What am l supposed to do about it?! 

Call for one minute? Question about the laptops.

Hey, let me know once you've read email. How substantively 

does it change what we want toto? Maybe not, if we want to avoid 

a fi ht on this. 

'..-___ Trisha is going to be 50 mad. Not only did Andy ask HER to 

reach out, but she even toid Jason in an email to us that she had 

alread reached out but hadn't heard back et. 

But no, l don't think it changes anything.

you know what you're talking about/are wrong was working ... 

Always with that guy. He just desperately wants to be in charge, in 

the know ... 

Talked with Bill 

Everything. He sounded like he thought l had called him, though he 

dialed me. Perha s he butt dialed. 

ln any case, the week ahead. He said Bowdich 

and Mike S aren't happy with it. Prep for Jason. His concern that 

we're throwing him up there, and the absence of an alternative. 

Prep for the D tomorrow. 

Have you been on eras to know whether anyone else edited Jason's 

TPs?

Btw, talked with Bill at length about-(in the context of 

going through what's going on}. ln a way that didn't burn any 

source, he said he hasn't had any coordination on this, that he 

never discussed (or wants} giving anything up, and that if anything, 

ITC efforts should be located within one Branch with CD and CYD 

and SecD. Said Steinbach also thought the same. Though of course 

he's out this week, all week. 

l have the two pdbs that ran today if you Want them. 

l do. Can l stop by? 

Crap l just stepped out of really good nsa brief o 

So go back in 

No, not to just leave again early. \n\nAnd "maybe," above? Throw 

me a bone ... :. · 

ln Andy's ofc. 

Why don't yau come in and talk intc? 

lnvite me ... 

Outside with Castor 

He is talking to right now. 

Boo. Stiil standing ;) 

Hi. Vaustill here (hape not)? Supposed to meet Parmaan in 2 ..• 

No. Why mtg with paarman? 

With a Legat over an issue. 1'11 tell you tomorrow. May eventually 

hit Andy. l'm sure you've heard of it. \n\nRemembered vaguely 

more detail from mtg. Andy mentioned he was still hearing ("3 or 4 

instances") recently that info was not flowing quickly enough and 

more re Mike and Randy and his previous convo with them. 

\n\nHappy ta discuss naw or tomorrow. l just had 10-11 open up ...

l already toid him, then yelled at him about numbers in general, 

then yelled about Snowden. Not yell, but professional angry. lt was 

very cathartic. l will invite vou next time to sit at the chef's table 

and watch ;)\n 

And l have no good, awful, sh*tty terrible (work} news. l can't say it 

here, and ou can't share with And 

Can you share it on imsg? 

Yes just sent 

GREAT convo with JR, let me know when you're back .•.. 

Sincerely good? 

But want to get your thoughts on how he might play it/spin„ .. 

Have a 1230 with Bill to prep him for Andy, then 1 staff meeting. 

Aisa, Bill did not tell Andy about the loss. Background reasons why, 

which make sense. l can fill you in on imessage later if you want. 

Yeah really. No photos in füi space. 

Does Andy know he hurt Jim the other day with the "l don't have 

_ time for this"?\n\nl think that was the purpose of his look down 

the table. "See? You're ri ht." 

l don't know. l plan to tell him,,just haven't had the opportunity. 

Re . he knows he was a dick. Don't know if Jim picked up on 

his acknowled ement of it. 

Thanks for adding Jon and me into that email chain. l think l added 

you on some of that correspondence on Friday, right (re Datto)? 

BBC is saying that bombs in NY were CT. Sucks.

lf it's a different thing, they're busy right now. 

Hi. Not sure l'm up for this job. up· past midnight worrying about 

the thing l toid you about on Saturday morning. There's always 

going tobe something to worry about. And l'm not able to turn it 

off ri ht now. 

Hi. l'm sorry. We can control that part, l would try not to worry 

about it. 

Sorry got up super late and scrambling. l hape so, re w ork thing. lt 

really bothers me. My general upset has settled into 

disappointment at putting Bill in a bad spot and anger at the others 

for having tried to do the right thing for the right reasons. 

You didn't put Bill ina bad spot. You've done exactly what he's 

wanted ou to do. 

See, this is the era p that aggravates me: l specifically DIDN'T tell Bill 

about the new lntel we got on Fri on so that ould present 

uns in this morning and does it without me. 

Whatever„„ 

l know. But you have a LOT more access to bill than he does. lt's 

not that im ortant. He's feelin insecure. Let it o.„ 

Hm m m. Sure, but. We've got a good working relationship because 

stuff !ike this doesn't happen. 1'11 say something, nicely. 

Okay. \n\nAnd yes, Thursday works. l toid Jim that and l are 

going to have a talk with Andy, asked if l could talk to him about it l 

first. 

And re . l stiil think l disagree. lt would be one thing if he toid 

Bill first. But why do you actually NEEDtobe there? 

B) inasmuch as walked aut of meeting him and said to me, hey 

you need fo talk to Bill about operational next steps on the guy, 

yes. Look, it's really not a big·deal. For all i know Bill called him 

down. And there's atan going on.\n\nA) good idea. l'm still 

thinking in should talk to JB about the issues (both our 

organizatianal ane as well as the dynamic Andy may be creating 

without realizing it).\n 

A) and then part of me thinks, this is the point. DADs should not be 

having lunch with the GC. Let the process work and keep my head 

down. 

ls there something going on.around hq? Traffic isata stand stiil. 

Something going on down 9th. No cars, no pedestrians, even with 

bad e.

Different topic, you don't think l should talk ta Castor first, or both 

of them or sched ule a mt rather than dro in? 

No, l wouldn't worry about castor. Schedule, maybe. Let's think 

about that. 

Clear through Bill then a short email, sir, do you have 15 minutes? 

The "drop in" seems to contrived and too great a chance that some 

random person would be in there.„. 

l'm thinking about saying something to Eric first, what do you 

think? 

Do it in the context of, look, this puss andy off, but l don't need a 

secretary second guessing something l say, and certainly, not 

second guessing me in front of the division. lf she is that 

concerned let her ask and . · 

*this will piss andy off. 

J think that's smart. How do explain that you know that she did it? 

Any thought going direct with 

idea. 

l don't think that's a good 

And God, l haven't stopped, with no end in sight. l know you're the 

same. \n 

l'm just going to make reference to her going toa div!sion to 

question my judgment. lf he asks l'll say CD, but there are plenty of 

people l could have heard it from, l'm friends with lots of people on 

that division. 

3-4, right? l know you're excited. \UOOOlf60a\n\nBtw, afternoon 0 

session invites didn't go. What time, so Jon and l can block? 

No clue . ...__„ asn't sent it yet. God l hate her. 

Email says 3:30-4:30, but those times c.an be a little flex. 

Hey, also note that whenL._Jesponded to her, he also cc:ed me 

and Jon then res onded "thanks" to all of us. 

Yup, l know. That's my point, it could be you, jon,„ bill

Oid you get my text re sending an eras to that dude?

sending? Bill did say he talked to Steinbach and talked around the 

sub'ect with him. 

l toid Andy you would. Up to you. Don't really know what it says so 

it1s hard for me to evaluate. 

Then ok, l will. 

Make sure you email nim on low side too. ls there stiil time? 

l just did to ask. 

Decide if you're watching the debate? 

l think no. ______________ ill let you know .... 

Debate is nasty„ „\n\nAlso, heard from ====~~~-:-~-- h e' s already at airport. He's willing to make a second trip but 

1--

l'm not sure if it's worth if right now, especially if Bill got gist to 

Mike. 

Trump saying agents at FBI are furious at the MYE outcome and 

rosecutor.

00:19:13, Mon to you. You would have had no idea any of this was out there but 

for me. And l already thanked you for your excellent advke. Just a 

tip, it's not the way to engender good will by doing a good deed 

then rubbin11 a fucking nose in it. 

2016-10-24 INBOX Why do l send noteworthy articles at all, Lisa? Should l wait on all

00:26:14, Mon .. maybe 2 hours. \n\nBut the article Was up a good 30 minutes 

before you toid me.\n\nAre you upset because you thinks this

lani<rv.? l::tcr "'"'°c l c:imnlv rlon't a~t it 

2016-10-24 OUTBOX Yeah, and l toid you a grand total of 2 minutes after l learned it was 

00 27:5~, Mon up from andy. And you sent it S minutes after that. And if you 

actually' read your texts instead of desperately trying to be first, 

you'll see that us said no, l don't think you should send lt. 

2016-10-24 OUTBOX l shouldn't have to explaln all of thls. You knew it was there NOT 

00:29:24, Mori because of your Google alert, which is totally fair game, but 

because of ME. l don't know why any of this is so hard to

l know that, and haven't said otherwise. \n\nNone of this is hard to 

understand, which is why l'm asking you why you're so damn angry 

at this. LITERALLY EVERY OTHER SIGNIFICANT ARTICLE we've 

treated this way. And the article WC!S out for half an hour. My 

sending it in no way points to you. \n\nThe fact that everyone is 

treating this so hush hush differently is part of the problem. 

And l can only take your lack of response to my fury at being 

accused of betraying your trust as either equal fury on your part or 

an acknowledgement that you were wrong about that. \n\nl don't 

treat your trust lightly or carelessly, Lisa. Don't so lightly accuse me 

l'm done talking about this. Nooneis treating it all hush hush. 

Could you stop already? This has nothing to do with the case or the 

investigative team, and is all about trying to smear a public 

servant. So how about you withhold judgment about what is 

a t all ain on. 

l believ~ you betrayed my trust. lf l thought l was wrong or had 

made a mistake, l would ·ust sa so, thanks.

01:32:02, Tue Thousands of Emails in One Week http://nyti.ms/2egA2sg 

2016-11-08 INBOX OMG THIS IS F*CKING TERRIFYING:\nA victory by Mr. Trump 

01:56:33, Tue remains possible: Mrs. Clinton\u2019s chance of lasing is about the 

same as the probability that an N.F.L. kicker misses a 38-yard field 

1:zoal. 

2016-11-08 OUTBOX Yeah, that's not good. 

02:05:51, Tue 

2016-11-08 INBOX l'm sorry. Managed to get into a huge fight here about the Bu and 

02:42:03, Tue Clinton. Because just can't stop at fair observations. She has ta 

assert mastery of things about which she has NO knowledge. 

2016-11-08 OUTBOX She does realize you've been in EVERY conversation that has been 

02:43:40, Tue had about this case, right? 

2016-11-08 INBOX That we should have gone on the record saying Kallstrom and 

02:44:54, Tue others are not credible (which may be valid), but then saying we 

could pull his tolls if we wanted to. Because she knows all about 

our policy regarding investigations of members of the media. 

\U0001f621 

2016-11-08 INBOX Yes. But she's an expert who knows everything. \n\nl'm telling you, 

02:45:31, Tue it's wildly infuriating. She has good points but then assurnes wildly 

impossible understanding of thirigs to make groundless assertions. 

2016-11-08 OUTBOX Uh, what crime are we investigating?\n\nAnd l'm sorry, that's a 

02:46:06 Tue terrible idea. Go to war with the formers? 

2016-11-08 INBOX Leaking information about ongoing investigations. Which is 

02:47:53, Tue incorrect information. By agents who doli't know about things 

talking to him. \n\nSee? That's the thing. Her initial point, that we 

should have gone after the agents talking harder and sooner, is not 

unreasonable. But the subsequent discussion talis into uninformed 

l ;:ic: - :. • -

2016-11-08 OUTBOX lf it's not classified, what's the eri me though? 

02:49:08, Tue 

2016-11-08 INBOX Maybe we should go to war with them, if they're spouting bile like 

02:49:26, Tue Kallstrom. He's really out of bounds~ That isa valid debate. Talking -

telling - me ~ow we should have done it is what's infuriating. 

2016-11-08 INBOX There's not a erim e. So you publicly shame or disavow him. And · 

02:50:35, Tue you find out who's talk!ng to him and go after them with opr. lt's a 

legitimate criticism that we might have looked sooner at all these 

oeoole runnine: their mouths to the oress.

understand how far and wide the field of law is? You or ·or 

whoever would ever assurne knowledge of things outside of 

eriminal law. lt boaafes mv mind. 

2016-11-08 INBOX l don't think it's bad. l think there are agents doing as much who

._ __ Pretty good so far. Just started, ~o only a few pagesin. The 

press focus is going to be annoying, especially knowing how 

obnoxiou·s and self-righteous they both turned out tobe. 

Just sent you Andy's response. lt makes me happy. 

That was a very nice response from. Andy 

Yeah. lt made me happy. 

You see Trump chose a Fox News analyst as his Dep Ntnl Security 

advisor? 

Maybe take an informal poll of folks tomorrow re flights/hotels. 

At which point 1'11 direct everyone to take the Tuesday daytime 

fii ht :D 

asked me about flight info ete., soata minimum l expect 

she'll be fl in with us. 

And boo. That sucks. Should l move my seat so she can grab the 

one next to ours? 

And anticipate that means she will hang on Tues ... all expected, l 

guess, was just hoping for different. \n\nJust got into work, have 

m standin 830 

Maybe re Tuesday. She might do touristy things though, since it's 

been two decades since she was there. 

and jon and the rest of them should be encouraged to take 

another fii ht thou h. 

Hey do you know why Bill was talking to Jim? 

1'11 try and find out, re Bill. A bit concerning. 

Also, jason herring spoke to me tonight about needing to get the . . andy letters out to congress. l need to prioritize those ASAP. Like 

have to be done and finalized before l can leave. \U0001f612 

Ok, well, that's motivation. 1'11 help, obviously

2017-06-01 ls Andy truly accepting of the fact of the potential limitations that 

01:23 :35, Thu he may not be DD as long as he thought, and regardless, that we'll 

have a new D, as all this unfolds?\n\nBtw, Bill said he heard some 

guy in INSD was ra nked #2 for the job. Someone we interviewed 

for a SC jobin CD and t urned down. Truly l don't know wtf is going 

on. Do l have cognitive dissonance? 

INBOX sm s 

2017-06-01 Look, here's the bottom line asbest as l can surn up (and l hope 

01:44:36, Thu you already know all this)\n\n- l don't think Andy's acting in bad 

faith. l do t hink what he hypothetically proposes isn't something 

in his thought process or skillset or his available time and ability. 

ln other words, when JG or Ra ndy or even Bob sa id they had a 

plan, they had a PLAN. l don't think Andy does. And as A/D tha t's 

samething toosmall for him ta worry about. Ta put a tine point on 

it Wtf. Such a pinta t he balloon of faith and confidence in 

the system. \n\n-1 knew my standing with Comey and Andy. One 

is gone, the other uncerta in at best. \n\n-1 don't trust/believe in 

my standing with Dave and Carl and the rest of the EADs.\n\n- the 

SC is straightforward and rewarding, meaningful, honorable and a 

known quantity. lt would cement my image as the "special project 

guy" or "glorified case agent" (nevermind they'll never see1 

l that way for doing the sa me job less well). l guess l 'm 

l 

feeling like l don't care about tha t right now. But it's not like i 

have a long time left. 

INBOX sm s 

2017-06-01 l understand all this. So what do you want me to say to him? Can l

2017-06-01 l don't know. \ n\nMaybe i should sleep on it.\n\nMaybe, Pete's

undermines him (because Mueller and Aaron will be looking to

10:21:01, Thu not giving yourself enough credit for how good you are. Depends 

on what you wa nt. At the Bu, you'll be a superstar amongst 

mostly not all-stars. There, you're a superstar amongst 

superstars.\n\nSecond, be really honest, w hat is your future at 

the Bureau? As long as Andy is A/D, you're ina weird place with JR

And he had the sense to ta lk to me about what he wanted, and

09:59:50, Wed talk to her honestly about it. lt's okay to say no, especially since 

that subject NEEDS a strong CI look as well.\nD) Jesus, relax about 

the comment. Andrew had been ma king fun of himself, you 

stepped out to make a call, Andrew sa id oh no, l've seared him. l 

said you're a 20 year agent, you're fine. lt was all a joke. That's it.
