Hillary Clinton’s personality and her contempt for State Department protocols led to trouble finding security agents to assign to her, according to the fourth batch of notes from the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s private server made public Monday.

The FBI report was made last year and continued through June 2016. It pertained to the investigation of Clinton’s private email server while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

“State agents were indignant that they were required to follow security policy but Clinton made herself exempt from the same regulations.”

But as FBI agents did the email report, they found other oddities about Clinton’s tenure. For one, senior State Department security agents did not want to work with Clinton — despite it usually being considered an honor to work with the secretary.

When the FBI interviewed a former State Department security agent on Sept. 2, 2015, Clinton was described as contemptuous of State Department protocols.

Clinton defied the State Department’s security office’s recommendation she cancel an Indonesian event relating to “clean-cooking stoves.” The carbon-related, ostensibly political event was so important to Clinton that she ordered it to go on.

In another example cited by the agent, ambassadors expected to arrive at foreign events with Clinton in her armored limousine. But Clinton refused to ride with the ambassadors. Instead, Clinton would ride with her chief of staff, Huma Abedin.

This angered and embarrassed ambassadors, the former State Department agent told the FBI.

The former agent later left to become an investigator for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Agents jumping ship from State wasn’t uncommon, the FBI was told.

“Clinton’s treatment of [State Department] agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere,” the former State agent told the FBI. “Prior to Clinton’s tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State’s detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agent[s]. However, by the end of Clinton’s tenure, it was staffed largely by new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her.”

The report also details how Clinton was the only State official who defied rules that cellphones not be brought into a secure area within the State Department building.

“State agents were indignant that they were required to follow security policy but Clinton made herself exempt from the same regulations,” the report concluded.
