FBI Missed Clinton Emails That Were Marked Classified,
Wanted To Conclude Probe Before IG Caught Mistake
How do you miss that when that’s what you’re supposed to be looking for?
Quote:The FBI didn’t flag that some emails from Hillary Clinton’s private email server were marked classified with a “©” when they were sent — something that seemingly would have been one of the first and most obvious checks in an investigation, and one that FBI agents instantly recognized put the facts at odds with Clinton’s public statements.
The Intelligence Community Inspector General noticed it after the FBI missed it, texts between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, reveal. “Holy cow,” Strzok wrote, “if the FBI missed this, what else was missed?”
“Remind me to tell you to flag for Andy [redacted] emails we (actually ICIG) found that have portion marks © on a couple of paras. DoJ was Very Concerned about this,” he wrote.
“Found on the 30k [emails] provided to State originally. No one noticed. It cuts against ‘I never sent or received anything marked classified,’” he wrote, referring to statements by Clinton downplaying the danger of her email practices.
Keep reading hee

Knowing what we know now, does one really have to ask why they didn't find those classified emails?

RE: FBI Missed Clinton Emails That Were Marked Marked Classified,
So, someone at the fbi told Clinton to print and send the emails in paper form so that when they got to them, they would use a crappy ocr software to look for portion markings, knowing that the ocr software would miss the special character portion markings.
So they then report back "nothing to see here, you can close her case quickly."
Then an IG went behind them, found the markings by visually examining documents, and they were like "wooops".

In before our liberal brethren can get in to tell us all how this is just more nothing. Anyone who thinks this is clean business is an idiot. Anyone who denies that there's a whole lot of fire attached to the smoke is an idiot. They are either complete morons or agenda driven and willfully ignorant.

Quote:Clinton decided to print out 55,000 pages instead of providing the State Department with her emails in their digital format, a technique sometimes used by lawyers to make searches harder for their opponents. A CTRL-F search for “©” could have missed the markings because State had to re-digitize the forms with Optical Character Recognition, which can get tripped up on symbols, perhaps interpreting it as something like “[C]” or a copyright symbol. Nonetheless, the classified marker always appears at the beginning of a paragraph and is visually distinct.
I put on my Mach-hat and call that clear obstruction of justice.

You maybe more savy than me, but Bluebeam will flatten a document and make it ocr searchable. It's not like it's on the money but gets pretty close.

I would want the numbnut who did the ocr search to testify under oath what OCR software they were using.
It was already "known" in the agency that their ocr software was not converting the classified markers. If you knowingly used that software where you knew it was flawed, then that person should be fired/prosecuted.
Thank God the IG's appear to have had and still have some balls.

They will claim "ah, nothing" because they are still "with her" and it doesn't matter what she did BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE IF SHE BROKE THE LAW OR NOT. She has that "D" next to her name. That is all that matters.
They aren't morons - the sad fact is, they don't care if their side breaks the law. The ends justify whatever means................

Sorry, the hat only works after it's been activated by the consumption of two pints of bourbon.

The question is still WHY DID SHE DESTROY 33,000 EMAILS??????
No one could conceivably think this woman was honorable. Why would ANYONE vote for her.

Why would they be doing a legit "search" with any OCR software at all?
It would be mind-numbingly repetitive, but the IG's office was able to accomplish this. Going through 55k emails looking for markings may be tedious, but for a team of 10 or so, probably take a day or two to thumb through them.
Of course this was intentional, or just another wild asss, crazy coincidence? Likely directed from above. I'd guess Fired Andy.

Cause she didn't have time to get to the other 55,000? Otherwise it woulda been, quick math, 88,000?
