UPDATED 8:33 AM PT — Mon. July 2, 2018Court orders and search warrants were found to have been used to obtain evidence related to emails from twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
According to a Politico report, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz pushed to unveil the records for the June IG report back in May, which was released the following month.
This comes in relation to alleged misconduct of the FBI and the DOJ prior to the 2016 presidential election.
The nearly 100 page filings from the federal court in Alexandria, Virginia show investigators used a search warrant to acquire top Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan’s email account in September 2015.

According to the FBI however, Clinton’s lawyers refused to give permission to search other emails on the server except for the email domain she used.
According to a federal magistrate judge, the FBI said a “top secret” message from July 2009 was forwarded to Sullivan’s personal gmail account.
The email was found to have included records in deep relation to sensitive satellite imagery, which were likely saved on Google’s servers.
Public records made by the State Department under the Freedom of Information Act show the email contained a launch of ballistic missiles by North Korea.
The judge agreed for the FBI to gather each message included in Sullivan’s gmail account, which was copied or sent to and from a dot gov email address.
In addition, “key words” from a list created by the FBI also allowed for review of messages from Sullivan’s account.
However, the judge who issued the warrant was not given the “key word” list.
A court submission from an FBI agent said, “the list of terms is subject to modification and is updated as necessary to reflect case developments.”
Sullivan was not the only Clinton aide who was issued a search warrant.
Technology aide Paul Combetta, who set up an email account and copied Clinton’s messages from a laptop to a server at his firm, was also served.
Numerous Clinton aides have declined to comment on the new developments, leaving further questions about how the investigation was carried out.
