The FBI released a treasure trove of new documents related to Hillary Clinton’s misuse of a private email server on Friday, revealing, among other damning things, that information from her server was found on the dark web.
The documents also reveal that hackers likely compromised Hillary’s server, a detail the government has not publicly confirmed.
Theblaze.com reports: The documents, released via the FBI’s “The Vault,” include notes from an independent review that reveal the Romanian hacker known as “Guccifer” potentially compromised Clinton’s unprotected email server when he breached a separate server operated by longtime Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal.
