Politico reports:
Hillary Clinton never received training on how to handle classified information. By her own admission, she had little ability to discern whether a document included sensitive information. And when she did handle sensitive materials, she relied on her subordinates to ensure that nothing important was compromised.
Taken together, her responses to questions from FBI [US' Federal Bureau of Investigation] investigators reveal a high-level government executive who apparently had little grasp of the nuances and complexities around the nation's classification system — a blind spot that helped allow classified communications to pass through her private email server.
While Clinton is clear that she never had any intention to mishandle classified documents, a fact that FBI Director James Comey noted as a factor in his decision not to recommend any charges against the former secretary of state, answers she gave to FBI agents during a July 2 interview are likely to reinforce the Republican characterization of her as having been reckless with government secrets.
Bloomberg reports that Clinton Used Eight BlackBerrys, but [the] FBI Couldn't Get Them:
In addition to the eight devices she used as secretary of state, the FBI said there were at least five additional mobile devices they sought as part of their inquiry. Clinton's lawyers said they could not provide any of the mobile devices she used. One person interviewed by the FBI said he recalled two instances in which Clinton's devices were destroyed by "breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer." The FBI released the summary Friday to provide context on its decision not to recommend prosecution of Clinton or her aides for using the private system. The Democratic presidential nominee was interviewed about her use of private e-mail by FBI agents and federal prosecutors for 3 1/2 hours on July 2. The bureau then recommended that the Justice Department not pursue criminal charges.

The "fun" part is that this stuff is trivial compared to all the other shit they're up to and which has already been revealed and documented and then there's still Wikileaks, Judicial Watch, and possibly others set to release even more.
Another "fun" part is that the "elitists"/globalists (in any party) that Hillary represents might have managed to piss off the surveillance and manipulation system (Five Eyes etc.) or at least some parts of it. I've seen different people arguing that the Hillary and DNC leaks come from the NSA.
I certainly can't vouch for the following but Alex Jones & Infowars is claiming that at least parts of the US military is getting antsy as well. The last month I've peeked at their web page to see what kind of stuff they were covering but hadn't ever watched any of their shows until I recently watched an entire full show out of curiosity. However at a minimum from other sources (like Wikileaks) it seems quite certain that there's some significant internal disagreement going on inside and between various branches and departments concerning topics such as Russia, Syria, and Ukraine. Maybe Yemen too. Because RT seems to have veered closer to "mainstream nonsense" (although there's still a few gems once in a while) I've finally also had a closer look at Moon of Alabama [moonofalabama.org] which turned out to have the most sensible stuff I've read about recent developments in Syria and some interesting comments as well.
Back on topic!
Setting all that aside it's not 5 but at least 13 devices (8+ 5 = 13) that we know of so far [thegatewaypundit.com].
Or maybe that ought to be 14 if one includes the Hillary Clinton laptop with archived classified e-mail lost in the mail [thegatewaypundit.com]. ...and in other news the dog ate the homework :P
Of course there could easily be plenty of such information left over on those 13 other devices; I seem to remember that on its own smashing computers with hammers isn't in any way conforming to US government regulation on data destruction so it could easily be nothing but misunderstood, uneducated, and ineffectual copying by the Hillary team of the security theater surrounding the Guardian's "destruction" of computer hardware that was used for the little bit of reporting they did on Snowden.
When even the CNN starts to realize that Hillary Clinton is a sick joke the question that arises is what the DNC and their backers will do next. Will they clear the way for Kaine and try to sell Kaine as better or cleaner even though he is highly unlikely to be anything but another front for exactly the same kind of insanity [paulcraigroberts.org] that Hillary represents? Can Obama, the DHS, Soros and the rest still succeed and/or will the electoral commission overrule a popular vote that does not represent theirs and others entrenched interests?
Will the demise of Hillary (illness or oh-so-convenient violence) be used to reset the election to square one? Is traitor Bernie going to fool people even more successfully the second time around or do they have other "vetted" candidates and manufactured opposition ready?
Only time will tell :3

"the US military is getting antsy"
Well, it's about time. Many of the best leaders have already been fired, retired, or flushed from the system, because they resist all the social justice warrior bullshit forced upon them.
It's about time because homeland security and the TSA is being promoted to the level of the DOD.
It's about time, because this farce of a two-party system could come crumbling down at any time.
I am positively sick of what they have done to our military, and the military has just gone along with much of it. Our air power has taken a tremendous hit with the F-35, the damned thing can't fly, can't fight, can't do shit. It's only purpose is to make some select people unbelievable rich, while at the same time weakening our military. Ditto for that piece of shit destroyer the navy has had shoved up it's ass. We already had better littoral craft than the Zumwalt, but we just had to have a billion dollar POS that can't sail in a storm.
The military is finally getting antsy?
They've been asleep at the wheel for the past fifteen years and more.
It's about time they wake up.
