Clinton ran homebrew computer system for official emails
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/clinton-ran-homebrew-computer-system-official-emails-081111269--politics.html ... ... just one more reason not a one of them can be trusted .... FILE - In this Oct. 18, 2011, file photo, then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton checks her Blackberry from a desk inside a C-17 military plane upon her departure from Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea, bound for Tripoli, Libya. Clinton used a personal email account during her time as secretary of state, rather than a government-issued email address, potentially hampering efforts to archive official government documents required by law. Clinton's office said nothing was illegal or improper about her use of the non-government account and that she believed her business emails to State Department and other .gov accounts would be archived in accordance with government rules. (AP Photo/Kevin Lamarque, Pool, File)WASHINGTON (AP) — The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Clinton's official emails when she was secretary of state traced back to an residential Internet service registered to her family's home in Chappaqua (CHAP'-uh-kwah), New York.
Internet records reviewed by The Associated Press disclosed the service registered to the Clinton home.

The practice of Clinton, a likely Democratic presidential candidate, physically running her own email as a Cabinet-level official is highly unusual.
She has not described her motivation for using a private email account or her own private email server. Most 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.

Benghazi committee to subpoena Hillary Clinton's emails
Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and other members of the House Select Committee on Benghazi speak to reporters at a …
The House Select Committee on Benghazi is planning to subpoena Clintonmail.com for all correspondence related to the 2012 Benghazi embassy attack.

According to The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/house-committee-to-subpoena-clintons-private-emails/2015/03/04/b4cec61c-c29b-11e4-9ec2-b418f57a4a99_story.html), the State Department can expect to receive subpoenas on Wednesday afternoon. It was the same House investigative committee that discovered, through its investigation of the Benghazi attack, that Hillary Clinton had used a personal email account (https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/clinton-ran-homebrew-computer-system-official-emails-081111269--politics.html) for diplomatic business while serving as secretary of state.

"Without access to the relevant electronic information and stored data on the server — which was reportedly registered to her home — there is no way the Committee, or anyone else, can fully explain why the Committee uncovered two email addresses,” Jamal D. Ware, communications director for the Select Committee on Benghazi said in a statement Wednesday.

“This is why former Secretary Clinton’s exclusive use of personal emails to conduct official U.S. government business is so problematic and raises significant issues for transparency,” Ware wrote. “The American people have a right to a full accounting of all the former Secretary’s emails, and the Committee is committed to working to uncover all the facts.”

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.’

Hillary Clinton supporters have defended her use of a private email account to conduct official State Department business by arguing that she emailed colleagues at their government addresses, ensuring that a copy of the correspondence would be retained on government servers and available to archivists. As it turns out, some aides to Hillary Clinton also used private email addresses (http://gawker.com/source-top-clinton-aides-used-secret-email-accounts-at-1689246408). But even if Team Hillary's initial claim had held together, it wouldn't matter. Public records laws encompass not just correspondence with other government employees but also emails with third parties about government business.

We now know that email address did, in fact, belong to former Secretary of State Clinton. Had she been following the rules and forwarding all email about official business to government servers, the State Department would've found the Blumenthal email. They found nothing.

Has she now turned over the Blumenthal correspondence to the State Department? Or is it still exclusively on the privately owned server that she controls? The answer may offer clues as to whether she really turned over all correspondence related to her government job, as her defenders have maintained. Either way, the private server will have helped her to evade at least one FOIA request. And we only know that much because a hacker stumbled on her emails.

and yet again the NSA can find what ever in our email but again cannot get her ... are you guys starting to see your masters at work ... everyone of they people should be jailed for treason .... theres some real good comments at the site , just one of many .... Beyond the issue of official DoS business being conducted over unsecured media, there is also the issue of classified information, and documents, being transferred outside the government's security system.
Her supporters say that there was no law about official email at the time she committed this treason. What they fail to acknowledge is that ALL official State Department communications are classified. Therefore, private email or not, she is guilty of violating security regulations and laws regarding the transfer of classified government information

[Half Sense]

It looks like many of her staff used private email accounts, too. So we may find all her correspondence with staff are not in State Dept archives. I wonder how many others in the administration were/are using private email? And how do we reconcile the fact that nobody in the Federal government ever noticed Hillary's mail was coming from clintonmail.com instead of the State Department? Did she spoof the state department address on her correspondence?

Secret Service had to know what Hillary's email address was. Which means, it was vetted. There's probably a whole secondary network of private accounts used by these creeps.

White House alerted to potential Clinton email problem in AugustBut the Clinton camp urged it to keep the issue quiet.
By Edward-Isaac Dovere (http://www.politico.com/reporters/Edward-IsaacDovere.html)
3/6/15 9:51 AM EST
Updated 3/6/15 11:05 AM EST


The White House, State Department and Hillary Clinton’s personal office knew in August that House Republicans had received information showing that the former secretary of state conducted official government business through her private email account — and Clinton’s staff made the decision to keep quiet.

Story Continued Below




Sources familiar with the discussions say key people in the Obama administration and on Clinton’s staff were aware that the revelation could be explosive for the all-but-announced candidate for president. But those involved deferred to Clinton’s aides, and they decided not to respond.
In the end, Clinton’s staff waited six months — until after the New York Times published a story on Tuesday about the email account and the possibility that it hampered public access to official records — to begin their response.
Clinton’s slow-off-the-block defense has left many political strategists and observers confused because even a presidential campaign in its early stages should have been prepared to get out ahead of bad news. Had the existence of the email address and private server been made public in August, they say, it could have become a marginal issue in the run-up to the midterm elections, which Democrats badly lost anyway and in which Clinton wasn’t a candidate. But the decision to let it linger has meant it will cast a much larger shadow over Clinton’s expected campaign announcement.

According to the sources, the problem came to light in August as the State Department prepared to respond to a request from the House Select Committee investigating the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. State Department officials noticed that some of the 15,000 pages of documents included a personal email address for Clinton, and State and White House officials conferred on how to handle the revelation, which they expected the committee to notice. But they felt that Clinton’s personal staff should take the lead, since she was no longer in government, and Clinton aides decided to wait and see.
Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said aides believed the former secretary’s email practices broke no rules and were no cause for concern. Clinton tweeted earlier this week that she wanted all her emails from her tenure as secretary made public.
“There was nothing to get ahead of,” Merrill said. “This was perfectly permissible and the practice of past secretaries, and not only did she turn over all pertinent emails, she has taken the extraordinary step of now asking them to be released to the public. When that’s done, which we hope is soon, it will become clear that it’s all in there and then some.”
As the scandal has grown, White House aides have worked to put distance between the president and the mess. Although Clinton aides have been in touch with the White House about the response in recent days, the situation has put the White House in the uncomfortable position of having to defend the expected presidential candidate because her own staff has left a public vacuum—setting up a potentially precarious dynamic between staffers for Clinton, who have traditionally been reluctant to engage with reporters and aides, and aides to President Barack Obama. Between the two camps, animosity buried after their 2008 primary campaign occasionally flares up.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest took care to point out that Obama himself was unaware of any issues with Clinton’s email. “The expectation of the president is that everybody throughout his administration is acting in compliance with the Federal Records Act,” Earnest said on Wednesday.
The White House does not have Clinton’s full email record, and was only made aware of the situation with her account after receiving the standard notification that a congressional committee had asked for, and received, documents from any agency, he said.
“The White House doesn’t have it and so can’t speak to it,” said one person familiar with the situation.

It’s not clear when Republicans recognized the potentially damaging information in the emails. Though emails with the personal address were among the Benghazi documents the State Department produced in August, it wasn’t until November 18 that the House Select Committee specifically mentioned her private account, in a new request for documents from Clinton and other senior State Department officials.
“The Department is committed to working with the Select Committee,” said a senior State Department official. “We have been in constant, often daily contact with the Committee as we have tried to make the Committee’s priorities our own.”
The official said that State has “long had access to a wide array of Secretary Clinton’s records — including emails between her and Department officials with state.gov accounts as well as cables.”

Obama says learned about Clinton's emails from news reports: CBS (http://news.yahoo.com/obama-says-learned-clintons-emails-news-reports-cbs-000453944.html) Reuters








WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama knew that Hillary Rodham Clinton conducted business on a nongovernment email account while secretary of state, but only recently learned the details of the privately run system she was operating, the White House said Monday.
The White House has drawn scrutiny over Clinton's exclusive use of private email and whether Obama or his aides should have done more to ensure her correspondence was secure and properly preserved. In a weekend interview, Obama told CBS News that it was only recently "through news reports" that he'd learned that Clinton was using a nongovernment email system.
But White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that Obama had personally exchanged emails with Clinton on her private account — hdr22@clintonemail.com — and was therefore familiar with the address. Earnest said Obama had been referring to when he learned the specifics of Clinton's email system — such as the fact that she had a privately run email server and was using the private account exclusively.
"The president — as I think many people expected — did over the course of his first several years in office trade emails with the secretary of state," Earnest said, adding that the number of emails they exchanged was not large. But it wasn't until recently that Obama learned how Clinton and her team planned to ensure the emails were properly maintained to comply with the Federal Records Act.
Any emails between Obama and Clinton would have been preserved by the White House under the Presidential Records Act, Earnest said.
Still, the disclosure that Obama knew about the private address comes as Clinton's critics seek to saddle Obama's White House with the controversy over her emails. Facing endless questions from the press about the emails, the White House has sought to defend its own technology and transparency practices without inserting itself into Clinton's likely presidential campaign.
The Republican National Committee accused Obama of misleading the American public in the CBS interview, claiming that the White House "can't get its story straight" about how Clinton jeopardized the security of her communications with the commander in chief.

Shillary has Operation Muddy the Waters in full swing now. (Even CNN came out saying she was muddying the waters)

[Half Sense]

So "the White House" knew about it in August, and again in November - but Obama is "just learning about it from the news along with all the rest of you folks".

It's Barry's way of saying, "You're all a bunch of stupid, clueless fucking rubes and although I have nothing but utter contempt for you proles you will lap up everything I say like it's manna from heaven without questioning anything I'm saying. You stupid, stupid fucks. LOL"

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

The State Department declined to comment Sunday on whether senior White House aide Valerie Jarrett had ordered the federal agency to launch a series of probes into former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, as the New York Post has reported.
“The Department of State refers you to the White House regarding questions about Ms. Jarrett,” an agency press official told The Washington Times Sunday night.

For its part, the White House did not respond to requests from the Times for comment about that issue or about whether Ms. Jarrett was in any way involved in leaking to the media the information for a week of embarrassing stories about Mrs. Clinton’s use of a private email server.

The Times inquiries were in response to a Saturday late-night column by author Edward Klein that charged Ms. Jarrett ignited the media firestorm over Mrs. Clinton’s server, and that she also ordered the State Department to investigate the former secretary.
“At Jarrett’s behest, the State Department was ordered to launch a series of investigations into Hillary’s conduct at Foggy Bottom, including the use of her expense account, the disbursement of funds, her contact with foreign leaders and her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation,” Mr. Klein wrote.
“Six separate probes into Hillary’s performance have been going on at the State Department. I’m told that the e-mail scandal was timed to come out just as Hillary was on the verge of formally announcing that she was running for president — and that there’s more to come,” he wrote.

Mr. Klein, a former foreign editor of Newsweek and editor-in-chief of the New York Times Magazine, reported that sources close to former President Bill Clinton suggested that Ms. Jarrett was trying to sink to Mrs. Clinton’s imminent campaign.
Mr. Klein has written several books about Democratic dynasties, detailing information about the Clintons, Kennedys and Obamas. Last year, he published, “Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. the Obamas.”

But his 2005 biography about Mrs. Clinton was widely criticized by both liberal and conservative news outlets partly because he implied through anonymous sources that Mr. Clinton engaged in sexual violence against his wife when their daughter, Chelsea was conceived. Politico stated the book contained, “serious factual errors, truncated and distorted quotes, and overall themes [that] don’t gibe with any other serious accounts of Clinton’s life.”
In his Post column, Mr. Klein also asserted Ms. Jarrett strategically used outside sources to leak news of Mrs. Clinton’s use of an outside email server.
From the Post report: “My contacts and friends in newspapers and TV tell me that they’ve been contacted by the White House and offered all kinds of negative stories about us,” one of Bill’s friends quoted him as saying. “The Obamas are behind the e-mail story, and they’re spreading rumors that I’ve been with women, that Hillary promoted people at the State Department who’d done favors for our foundation, that John Kerry had to clean up diplomatic messes Hillary left behind.”

Obama administration officials believe Mrs. Clinton is more likely to work with Congressional Republicans, threatening Mr. Obama’s legacy, the column reported.

“Obama and Valerie Jarrett will go to any lengths to prevent Hillary from becoming president … They believe that Hillary, like her husband, is left of center, not a true-blue liberal,” said a source close to the White House, Mr. Klein wrote.
He also said that Ms. Jarrett promised to play favorites with media outlets if they granted Monica Lewinsky airtime and print space after she decided to talk to Vanity Fair last year to “burn the beret and bury the blue dress.”
“With Obama’s approval, Valerie has been holding secret meetings with [Gov.] Martin O’Malley and [Sen.] Elizabeth Warren. She’s promised O’Malley and Warren the full support of the White House if they will challenge Hillary for the presidential nomination,” wrote Mr. Klein

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department said Tuesday it had no record of Hillary Rodham Clinton signing a statement attesting that she had turned over all unclassified documents related to official business when she left her post as secretary of state in 2013.
Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday that neither of Clinton's two immediate predecessors, Colin Powell nor Condoleezza Rice, had signed such a statement either.
Psaki said there was no sign of such a statement in department files.
"We're fairly certain she didn't sign one," Psaki told reporters.
She also said that different bureaus within the department had different rules relating to such statements that had the effect of making it optional for some employs to fill them out and turn them in. She could not identify the bureaus in which employees had such a choice.
Questions about whether Clinton signed such a document have swirled since the revelation of her use of a personal email account for government-related work. Republicans, among others, have said that the State Department, along with other federal agencies, generally requires outgoing employees to turn over job-related materials before leaving. That policy requires employees to sign the separation statements declaring they had "surrendered to responsible officials all unclassified documents" related to official business during their employment. Providing incorrect information on the form can be grounds for prosecution.
The Republican National Committee earlier Tuesday had submitted two Freedom of Information requests to the State Department seeking copies of the "separation statements" signed by Clinton and her top aides and related records.
The office of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement on Tuesday that it would be "a big problem if she signed that form like she was supposed to." Others have said it would be equally troubling if Clinton did not sign the form because that would have meant she would was holding herself to a different standard than other employees.

WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton’s emails included the names of Central Intelligence Agency officers serving overseas and foreigners who are on the CIA payroll – potentially endangering their lives, according to unnamed intelligence officials in a new report out Monday.

“It’s a death sentence,” a senior Intelligence community official told the Observer. “If we’re lucky only (foreign) agents, not our officers, will get killed because of this.”

The paper said the intelligence community is in panic mode trying to determine which intelligence officers and agents may have been compromised.

They assume several foreign intelligence agencies intercepted Clinton’s unencrypted emails stored on her home server while Secretary of State.

The naming of the spies was why 22 emails were deemed “top secret” by the State Department Friday and withheld from the court-ordered released of Clinton’s work-related emails, wrote Observer columnist John Schindler, a former National Security Agency analyst.

Clinton deleted some 30,000 emails she deemed personal, before handing over another 30,000 or so work emails to the State Department for public release.

“I’ll spend the rest of my career trying to figure out what classified information was in those (deleted emails),” said a Pentagon counterintelligence official. “Everybody is mad as hell right now.”

“The worst part,” he added, “is that Moscow and Beijing have that information but the Intelligence Community maybe never will.”

Clinton has maintained she never sent or received any emails that were marked classified.

On Monday she dismissed the controversy as Republican-fueled politics — even though the Obama Administration’s State Department and FBI are investigating — and said voters don’t care.




“I can tell you that is not on the minds of the literally thousands of people that I’ve seen in the last few weeks. I’m glad it isn’t,” Clinton told CNN. “The facts are the facts and no matter how much selective leaking or anonymous sourcing… that goes on, what people want to know is what I can do to be the best possible president for them and families.”

Fox News previously reported the “top secret” emails contained operational intelligence that jeopardized the lives of intelligence sources.

Rep. Mike Pompeo, a Kansas Republican who sits on the Intelligence Committee, said sources, methods and people were exposed and put national security at risk.

“There’s no way a senior government official who has been handling classified information for a good chunk of their adult life could not have known that this information ought to be classified whether it was marked or not,” Pompeo told Fox News.

seems there are two camps at war -- somebody leaking hellary email info, now this --- obomba/holder cannot claim exec privilege to hide fast furious info

or is ff leading back to hellary too?

http://kutv.com/news/local/judge-sides-with-rep-chaffetz-orders-fast-and-furious-documents-released

(KUTV) For the past four years Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and a House investigation committee has been trying to get the Obama Administration to release documents about the 'Fast and Furious' operation.

"The American people should be able to see these" Chaffetz said.

Now, a judge has ruled the administration must turn over the documents.

"They claimed executive privilege," Chaffetz said. "The judge ruled in our favor, and they owe us documents,"

they just have to hang in there until she is elected then it's all sorted.

then lots of dead people will start turning up. I expect a full scale purge that hasn't been seen for 30 or 40 years and will be of the scale of the Stalin purges.

at boo - agree on that, all approved by controllers

but imo infighting is allowed...controllers let them jockey to some degree

[Glass]

I'm really not sure why anyone is surprised. What amazes me is they can keep a lid on it as they have. Totally stunning that she would get even 1 vote.
