Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
will turn over the server she used at her home while serving in the Obama administration and a back up thumb drive with emails, her spokesperson said Tuesday.
The news comes just hours after the Intelligence Community Inspector General told Congress that her email server contained emails that have now been classified "top secret."
Spokesman Nick Merrill said Clinton "pledged to cooperate with the government’s security inquiry."
"She directed her team to give her email server that was used during her tenure as Secretary to the Department of Justice, as well as a thumb drive containing copies of her emails already provided to the State Department," Merrill said in a statement provided to The Hill.
"If there are more questions, we will continue to address them."
The statement added that Clinton has worked with State to "ensure that her emails are stored in a safe and secure manner."
Note that the emails have "now" been classified top secret, meaning retroactively classified. The Inspector General was responding to leaders of key oversight committees, who are of course still not satisfied with Clinton's decision to give the server to the FBI. The spokesman for the House Benghazi Committee whined that "she refused every entreat" by the committee to turn the server over. And Sen. Chuck Grassley took the opportunity to take a swipe at President Obama's Justice Department. "To date," he said, "the two agencies most critical to securing this information have failed to assure the American people that they are taking the necessary steps to protect America's national security interests."
In other words, if the FBI decides that there was no wrong-doing by Clinton, they'll probably start investigating the FBI.
