A senior Hillary Clinton aide has maintained her top secret security clearance despite sending information now deemed classified to the Clinton Foundation and to then-Secretary of State Clinton's private unsecured email account, according to congressional letters obtained by Fox News.
Current and former intelligence officials say it is standard practice to suspend a clearance pending the outcome of an investigation. Yet in the case of Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s former chief of staff at the State Department, two letters indicate this practice is not being followed -- even as the Clinton email system remains the subject of an FBI investigation.
In an Oct. 30, 2015, letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa -- who has been aggressively investigating the Clinton email case -- Mills' lawyer Beth A. Wilkinson confirmed that her client “has an active Top Secret clearance." The letter said previous reporting from the State Department that the clearance was no longer active was wrong and due to "an administrative error."
A second letter dated Feb. 18, 2016 from the State Department's assistant secretary for legislative affairs, Julia Frifield, provided additional details to Grassley about the "administrative error." It, too, confirmed Mills maintained the top secret clearance.

Sending classified info to the Clinton Foundation....
Sounds like Hillary is running her own personal government.
The State Department could not even get to the point of making a "classification" in real time because they never had the emails until Hillary Inc. released them long after the fact. The MSM has a lot of people still fooled.

or espionage ring.
Lynch said on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that the agency would look “efficiently, fairly, thoroughly, without any kind of artificial deadline” into whether Clinton broke any laws as secretary of state by using a private email server for official communications.
Dozens of Clinton emails have since been re-classified as “top secret.”
“What's most important is to follow the facts, follow the law, and come to an independent conclusion as to what may or may not have happened,” said Lynch,

I got the impression that Lynch has a ton of stuff on Hillary and will drop the bomb before the election.
I got that from when she wouldn't answer the question of where the buck stops with going ahead with charges.
