Far from trying to stop her – or even advising against it – federal law enforcement may have played a role in managing Hillary Clinton’s homebrew server in the basement of her New York home as early as 2011.

A Secret Service agent has told the FBI that the Clintons also convinced Secret Service resources to do some of the work for the Clinton Foundation – a clear violation of federal law.

A spokesman for the Foundation has denied they ever used government resources to do their work and said the secret service agent must just be “confused” and thought the work with the server was also work for the Clinton Foundation, The Daily Caller is reporting.

If the foundation’s spokesman is correct, it means that information was stolen while the server was being attacked – which Hillary Clinton has denied.

As the FBI summarized the testimony of a Secret Service agent whose name was redacted, the agent “was assigned to the protective detail of William Clinton from [redacted] to [redacted]. Because of [his] information technology (IT) skills, he was asked to do network assessments and troubleshoot IT issues at the Clinton Foundation… [he] assisted the Clinton Foundation in a case related to theft of information on the Clinton Foundation information systems.”

In addition to protecting government officials, the Secret Service has another mission, to investigate cybercrime too.

But the agency’s cybercrimes division hasn’t decided to take the case – rather they used that money to do “other tasks,” including “troubleshooting IT Issues,” which really has nothing to do with “fighting cybercrimes.”

The agent’s testimony said the assistance started for the foundation, then was expanded to include another server located in the Clintons’ home. The agent “was contacted by Justin Cooper in January 2011 to assist with the security of an email server at the Clinton residence in Chappaqua, New York.” Cooper is an aide to Douglas Band, Clinton’s long-time personal assistant and business associate.

The agent “contacted Bryan Pagliano to recommend adding outbound IP filtering to the server.” Pagliano, a Clinton campaign staffer turned State Department aide, has since pleaded the Fifth Amendment, refusing to answer questions from congressional investigators.

In response to a request, the Clinton Foundation said that the agent is simply confused. They are “conflating the Clinton Foundation with the president’s personal office,” that the foundation was never hacked and that in both cases, they must be referring to Bill Clinton’s personal office email.

Secret Service sources interviewed by the Weekly Standard said the agency “absolutely” worked on the “theft of information” case for the Clinton Foundation and that records show it.

If an intrusion did not occur on the foundation’s server and the agent was confusing the home and foundation servers, then it suggests that Clinton’s private server had a “theft of information” situation.
