Declassified documents from both Obama and Biden years are coming out now at what is nearly dizzying speed. The latest? Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has released some recently declassified documents pertaining to Her Imperial Majesty Hillary I and other government official's email traffic possibly being hacked by foreign powers.

You can read the entire report here. The title is, "A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election, Appendix One."
There is, here, information that presents the possibility of foreign intrusion into U.S. government email servers. Here are a few highlights.
First, there are allegations of election interference:
(Redacted) is relevant to the Midyear investigation in two ways: First, in (redacted) and (redacted) the FBI obtained (redacted) reports purporting to discuss efforts to influence the Midyear investigation. The initial (redacted) report suggested that then Attorney General (AG) Loretta Lynch and then FBI Director James Comey were interfering with the Midyear investigation to help the Democratic and Republican candidates, respectively. The second report stated that Lynch had been in contact with a named individual working for the presidential campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the Midyear Investigation.
That looks a lot like federal law enforcement and the DOJ trying to influence elections, but here's the interesting bit: There were, collected as data, no less than eight USB drives, described as "thumb drives," collected from a source named "T1." Now, in an investigation where these were collected as evidence, you would think that the FBI would have examined all eight drives, yes?
No.
Thumb drives 1 through 5:
...primarily contain data exfiltrated by (redacted) from various U.S. victims, including the Executive Office of the President (EoP, the State Department, federal agencies, and private sector and educational institutions. FBI employees told us that it was highly unlikely that data exfiltrated from other, unknown U.S. victims was also present on these thumb drives.
Thumb drives 6 and 7:
...contain (redacted) about cyber intrusions, with some U.S. victim data included as attachments.
Thumb drive 8 was not reviewed.
Here's the onion:
III: In this section we discuss two (redacted) reports that the FBI obtained in (redacted) and (redacted). Both reports indicated information suggesting that (then-AG) Lynch was attempting to exert influence on the Midyear investigation, or was providing information about the investigation to former Secretary Clinton's campaign. In addition, the first (redacted) report suggested that Comey was taking steps to extend the Midyear investigation to help undermine the Democratic Party.
(Redacted) As described in this section, witnesses told us that the reports were not credible on their face for various reasons, including that they contained information that the FBI knew to be "objectively false." Despite this assessment, Comey told the OIG that he was concerned that the information might leak beginning in mid-June 2016, and that this concern was a factor in his decision not to inform Lynch of his plan to make a public statement on July 5, 2016.
And later, from one of those transcribed reports:
According to Wassermann Schultz (sic), so far the FBI does not have any hard evidence against Hillary Clinton because data was removed from the email servers just in time.
Obama is not in the mood to mar the very final segment of his presidency, his legacy with a scandal around a leading nominee for the [D]emocratic [P]arty. To deal with this he is using Attorney General Loretta Lynch to mount a pressure on FBI [D]irector James Comey. Alas, so far, with no concrete results.
There's a lot more to this mess, and a lot of it is redacted and the rest couched in some torturous language, but at least now it's public record.

This is another piece of the puzzle, in which we see a report indicating that a sitting president was using his cabinet-level officials to not only preserve his legacy, but to likely hide data harmful to his chosen successor. In coming days, its very likely we'll see a lot more of this.
Stay tuned. It looks like we are in for some very interesting times.
