NYT SHOCK REPORT: HILLARY CLINTON SENT EVERY OFFICIAL EMAIL AS SECRETARY OF STATE FROM A PRIVATE ACCOUN


Geee

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record.

 

Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act.

 

It was only two months ago, in response to a new State Department effort to comply with federal record-keeping practices, that Mrs. Clinton’s advisers reviewed tens of thousands of pages of her personal emails and decided which ones to turn over to the State Department. All told, 55,000 pages of emails were given to the department.Mrs. Clinton stepped down from the secretary’s post in early 2013.

 

Her expansive use of the private account was alarming to current and former National Archives and Records Administration officials and government watchdogs, who called it a serious breach.

This story just got legs...

Network anchors on Hillary’s e-mail lawbreaking: “Smells terrible,” “stunning breach of security

Ed Morrissey

March 3, 2015

 

Remember the old Miller Lite TV commercials where the beer’s fans would argue whether its primary virtue was that it “tastes great” or was “less filling,” but Miller wanted you to believe both? Imagine a large stadium filled with people who still recall the abuses of power during the Clinton administration (Travel Office, anyone?) arguing over Hillary Clinton’s four-year dodge of transparency and the Federal Records Act. One could almost hear one side of the stadium yelling, “Smells terrible!” and “Stunning breach of security!”, no?

 

Let’s start with MSNBC, where Lawrence O’Donnell had to go on live right after the New York Times broke the story based on information from the Benghazi select committee investigation that the Left despises. O’Donnell pulled together a panel that raised a few good questions, while O’Donnell himself called it “a stunning breach of security”:

 

 

Say, where were the State Department lawyers? Perhaps they wanted to keep their jobs, given that Hillary ran the department. When MSNBC’s Beth Fouhy says Hillary will have to address this at an upcoming speech, O’Donnell almost laughs in her face. Jeremy Peters aptly notes that this will once again raise the problems of the Clintons acting as though laws don’t apply to them, and that this story will last at least “a few more days.” O’Donnell goes farther, concluding that there can be no “legitimate” reason to have done this; Fouhy says that this will encourage Republicans to keep digging on Benghazi, but as O’Donnell says in response, it’s not just the Republicans — the New York Times is on it too.

Too soon, too soon. Need to learn to hold fire.

This came as a result of the Benghazi investigation and Gowdy's committee. Dana Perino gave a slight hint that there may be more to come.

I can't help but think that all these exposures of malfeasance, are Killary's way of inoculating herself, prior to the 2016 Circus...where...."it's her turn."

 

She'll be able to say, "We've already talked about that & dismissed it."

 

She's as transparent as a solid oak door.

She is a true chameleon - while speaking to us plain folks and lamenting her poverty and speaking in jive *, Hillary Clinton always lusts for power even while her stupidity and greed give her away.

I have one question - do we really want someone in charge of our Country's national security - and ours - who has done this? I mean , come on folks, ain't one liberal lefty ideologue who has shredded and used the Constitution for his bird cage enough??

 

Oh, and I heard today on the radio - for what its worth - that Hilary knew within 4 minutes that Benghazi was a terrorist attack according to the emails.

Not that the State email is secure but can you imagine, top secret stuff flying back and forth in the open.

 

And 4 dead in Benghazi.

I'm thinking State Dept email security is like pouring water through a sieve.

 

I would NOT want to ever be in a jam in a foreign land and have to count on our State Dept to help me out.

REPORT: HILLARY CLINTON’S AIDES AT STATE DEPT. ALSO USED PRIVATE EMAIL

 

After the NY Times reported Monday that Hillary Clinton used a private email account during her tenure at the State Department, her defenders were quick to claim no harm was done. Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton, told the Times Hillary had “every expectation they would be retained” because she was careful about emailing her subordinates using their official government accounts. Less than a day later, a report by Gawker suggests that may not be true.

 

“Her top staffers used those Clinton email addresses” at the agency, said the source, who has worked with Clinton in the past. The source named two staffers in particular, Philippe Reines and Huma Abedin, who are said to have used private email addresses in the course of their agency duties.

 

Gawker was able to verify that Huma Abedin had an account (huma@clintonemail.com) which used the same private domain used by Hillary. Spokesman Nick Merrill, the same one who told the Times this was much ado about nothing, refused to reply to questions about Abedin’s use of the Clinton email system. He did, however, deny that Philippe Reines had ever had such an account, telling Gawker, “He has never had one, not for communicating with anyone about anything.”Scissors-32x32.png

Hillary’s email scandal gets worse and worse

Noah Rothman

March 4, 2015

 

In his latest piece, National Review’s Charles Cooke related a choice exchange he had with a former Clinton White House staffer who attempted to defend Hillary Clinton’s role in this latest scandal involving her determination to avoid using an official and secure email address, as is mandated by law.

 

“It’s ‘worth remembering,’ a former Clinton administration staffer assured me quickly on Twitter, ‘that Hillary didn’t have email until she was in her forties. She was clueless.’” Cooke wrote. “‘I just mean,’ he added, desperately, that “she’s no dummy — except possibly with computers — where she kinda is.’”

 

So the Democratic Party’s anointed 2016 nominee who, we are assured, possesses the intellect and the acumen of a transformative political figure born to shatter glass ceilings devolves into timid and irrational Neanderthal when confronted by technological marvels like electronic mail? It’s not especially convincing, but at least it is a defense.

This is a scandal, and the Clinton camp’s determination to dig in and avoid contrition at all costs is only making it worse. What makes this truly damaging for Clinton is that the media does not have to translate this controversy to the public. Every American understands plainly what conditions might lead someone to conduct official business on a private email account that is free from oversight, and none of them are virtuous. The public understands intuitively the ramifications of this disreputable behavior, and Clinton’s defenders are only throwing gasoline on the fire by attacking the integrity of those responsible for investigating this episode.

HILLARY CLINTON’S OFF-THE-BOOKS MAIL SERVER WAS IN HER HOUSE, REGISTERED TO A NON-EXISTENT MAN

 

Stage 2 of the Hillary email scandal has been achieved, as yesterday’s “confused old lady who didn’t understand how email works” defense utterly collapsed with the Associated Press’ discovery that Clinton’s mail server was located in her house (her estate in Chappaqua, to be exact — the one she had to settle for because she was “dead broke” after Bill left office) and was registered under the name of a man who does not appear to exist.

To their credit, liberal media figures quickly realized this wasn’t a story that could be waved away with a laugh, some standard Obama Administration pabulum about how much this furtive crew values transparency, and a few whiny stories about how Republicans were known to use private email, too. (ABC News didn’t get the message, so they launched an abortive attempt to protect Hillary by taking a poorly-researched swing at the Gmail address on the business card of Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, completely missing the point that Hillary routed all of her correspondence through her personal email address, and Chaffetz isn’t subject to the Freedom of Information Act laws that govern the Secretary of State. Five minutes of Google time would have saved these Democrat-operatives-with-bylines a ton of embarrassment.)

Chaffetz also isn’t running a questionably secure secret mail server out of his basement. Yesterday we learned that Hillary registered her off-the-books mail domain on the very day her Senate confirmation hearings began, which is a rather significant clue that she knew exactly what she was doing. This morning the AP brings us more details:

The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Clinton’s emails — on a private account she used exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state — traced back to an Internet service registered to her family’s home in Chappaqua, New York, according to Internet records reviewed by The Associated Press.Scissors-32x32.png

I can think of a certain Marine Sergeant that spent some time as an unwelcomed guest in Mexico who agrees with you totally.

Hillary Clinton's email server traced to Internet service registered to NY home

WASHINGTON – The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Clinton's emails -- on a private account she used exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state -- traced back to an Internet service registered to her family's home in Chappaqua, New York, according to Internet records reviewed by The Associated Press.



The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, impressive control over limiting access to her message archives. It also would distinguish Clinton's secretive email practices as far more sophisticated than some politicians, including Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, who were caught conducting official business using free email services operated by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc.



Most Internet users rely on professional outside companies, such as Google Inc. or their own employers, for the behind-the-scenes complexities of managing their email communications. Government employees generally use servers run by federal agencies where they work.



In most cases, individuals who operate their own email servers are technical experts or users so concerned about issues of privacy and surveillance they take matters into their own hands.



Clinton has not described her motivation for using a private email account -- hdr22(at)clintonemail.com, which traced back to her own private email server registered under an apparent pseudonym -- for official State Department business.



Operating her own server would have afforded Clinton additional legal opportunities to block government or private subpoenas in criminal, administrative or civil cases because her lawyers could object in court before being forced to turn over any emails. And since the Secret Service was guarding Clinton's home, an email server there would have been well protected from theft or a physical hacking.



But homebrew email servers are generally not as reliable, secure from hackers or protected from fires or floods as those in commercial data centers. Those professional facilities provide monitoring for viruses or hacking attempts, regulated temperatures, off-site backups, generators in case of power outages, fire-suppression systems and redundant communications lines.



A spokesman for Clinton did not respond to requests seeking comment from the AP on Tuesday. Clinton ignored the issue during a speech Tuesday night at the 30th anniversary gala of EMILY's List, which works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights.

Hillary in 2000: With everyone investigating the Clintons, “why would I ever want to do e-mail?” Update: Benghazi select committee to subpoena Clintonemail.com data
Ed Morrissey

March 4, 2015

 

Well, a lot has changed since 2001 … and a lot hasn’t. BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski catches this unguarded moment from an old ABC News look into — tah dah! — questionable cash handling around Team Clinton in her first Senatorial bid. The moment of truth comes at the 3:30 mark or so, and makes it pretty clear that Hillary Clinton intended to keep prying eyes away from her communications:

 

 

(Snip)

 

Update: The House select committee on Benghazi will issue subpoenas later today to get as much data as possible from the Clintonemail.com system, the Washington Post reports:

 

(Snip)

 

House Oversight chair Jason Chaffetz may want a look at that, too:

 

 

 

Chaffetz said his inquiry would look at whether Clinton viewed classified or sensitive matieral on a personal account. “Do you really believe that the secretary of state never reviewed classified information on her e-mail?” Chaffetz said.
