Strzok edited out the language of the draft from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless."

Mills asked about the private server in a Feb. 27, 2010 email to Abedin and an aide who helped set up the Chappaqua server. Mills and Abedin were also involved in an Aug. 30, 2011 exchange in which State Department official Stephen Mull mentioned that Clinton’s “email server is down.” In a Jan. 9, 2011 email exchange, Cooper told Abedin that Clinton’s server had been malfunctioning because “someone was trying to hack us.” “Had to shut down the server,” wrote Cooper, who told the FBI in his interviews that he discussed Clinton’s server with Abedin in 2009, when it was being set up. Neither Mills or Abedin were recommended for prosecution by Strzok for lying to the FBI.

It is highly likely Priestap has been cleared for any intentional wrongdoing and has no issues cooperating with the FBI's Inspection Division and Inspector General investigators.  Because of the importance of his role, Priestap likely knows the full context of how the FISA Title-1 application against U.S. person [[Carter Page]] was assembled and used.  Priestap is also mentioned in the Nunes FISA memo contradicting the claims of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, [[John Brennan]] and [[James Clapper]].
