The National Security Agency has Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails, and the FBI could access them if it wanted to, a former NSA official claimed in a radio interview.
(FOX)- William Binney, an architect of the NSA’s surveillance program who became a whistleblower when he resigned from the agency in 2001, made the claim onAaron Klein’s Investigative Radio Sunday. Klein also reported on Binney’s comments for Breitbart.com.
Binney pointed to 2011 testimony by then-FBI Director Robert Mueller before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in which Mueller said the agency has access to “sophisticated, searchable databases” to track down terrorists.
According to Binney, Mueller testified that “he got together with the Department of Defense, and they created a technology database where he … could go in with one query and get all past emails and all future emails as they came in on a person.”
“Now what [Mueller] is talking about is going into the NSA database, which is shown of course in the [Edward] Snowden material released, which shows a direct access into the NSA database by the FBI and the CIA,” Binney said.
“So that means that NSA and a number of agencies in the U.S. government also have those [Clinton] emails,” he said. “So if the FBI really wanted them they can go into that database and get them right now.”
