Corn and Isikoff with a glorious last ditch effort. I may have to read the book just for the lol’s
Paranoia in Clintonland. In March 2016, FBI agents showed up unannounced at the Brooklyn headquarters for Hillary Clinton’s campaign to discuss the campaign’s computer network. Several senior Clinton aides freaked out when they saw the agents entering the office. At the time, Clinton was under investigation for her mishandling of emails and classified information when she had been secretary of state and had used a private server for her electronic communications. Some Clinton campaign officials believed that agents within the bureau were dragging out the investigation to do Clinton harm and wondered if this visit was related to that probe. Robbie Mook, the campaign manager, was so worried about the FBI that he refused to meet with the agents. He was concerned that if he attended a meeting with FBI agents, they might share with him classified information and that subsequently he might in a public forum inadvertently refer to this material. Then he could become a target of an FBI investigation. He even wondered if the FBI might be trying to set him up. He ordered the campaign’s lawyers and IT people to meet with the agents, who had nothing of note to convey other than they had information indicating that en ies they would not identify had tried to penetrate the campaign’s network. This was not news to the campaign. Its IT crew had detected many such attempts. With the FBI refusing to provide any details, the Clintonites considered the meeting pointless. Later, they would realize that the FBI did not share with them what would have been valuable information that the bureau possessed at the time: Russian hackers had penetrated the Democratic National Committee. This episode was a sign of just how su ious the Clinton campaign was. “I was paranoid,” Mook later recalled. “I thought it was a ruse.”
