Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Monday released the newly declassified “Clinton annex”—an appendix to the DOJ Inspector General’s 2018 report—shows that James Comey’s FBI deliberately ignored key evidence in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, stonewalled Congress, and prioritized politics over national security.
Recall that Hillary Clinton used a private server to conduct official government business while she was the head of the Department of State.
WHAT THE FBI COVERED UP:
- Thumb drives containing sensitive data tied to the State Department, Congress, and even President Obama himself were seized… and then ignored.
- An FBI memo recommended further searches, but the bureau leadership squashed the probe.
- Intelligence reports indicated coordination between then-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and operatives from the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations to suppress the investigation.
- The FBI failed to pursue leads that the Obama administration intentionally derailed the Clinton probe to protect her 2016 candidacy.
“I’m making the “Clinton annex” public today so the American people have all the facts. Senator Johnson and I have requested this document’s declassification together since 2020, and President Trump, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and others finally got it done. Thank you for your dedication to transparency,” Grassley wrote on X.

The newly declassified DOJ watchdog report revealed Barack Obama’s email was hacked – and the FBI was aware of the hack.
Hillary Clinton transmitted classified material over her private server and even outed the name of a clandestine CIA agent.
Judicial Watch previously obtained Hillary Clinton email documents which included classified information, discussions about Benghazi and detail communications with Barack Obama.
The OIG obtained thumb drives from the FBI’s “Midyear” team investigating Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. The thumb drives were necessary to conduct a “thorough and complete investigation. and to “assess the national security risks” associated with Hillary Clinton’s private server.
The first five thumb drives handed over the OIG contained data from various US victims, including the Executive Office office of the President, the State Department, the US House of Representatives and other federal agencies.
Obama’s emails were hacked.
“Examples of US victim information that the analysts observed during this review included former President Barack Obama’s emails, possible evidence of an [redacted] intrusion into the [redacted] advance intelligence about a planned FBI arrest of a Russian citizen, network infrastructure diagrams for US government classified networks, and other potentially classified US government information,” the report said.
Barack Obama’s emails were hacked because Hillary Clinton sent him an email from her private server.
Obama email was hacked likely because Hillary sent him an email from her private server when she was on tarmac of St. Petersburg airport, June 2012. https://t.co/n8SqCW8f9n
