Hillarious Clinton Used Personal email Account at State Dept., Possibly Breaking the Rules


Recommended Posts

Hillarious Clinton Used Personal email Account at State Dept., Possibly Breaking the Rules                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT MARCH 2, 2015 WASHINGTON — Hillarious 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 “It is very difficult to conceive of a scenario — short of nuclear winter — where an agency would be justified in allowing its cabinet ­level head officer to solely use a private email communications channel for the conduct of government business,” said Jason R. Baron, a lawyer at Drinker Biddle & Reath who is a former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration. A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, Nick Merrill, defended her use of the personal email account and said she has been complying with the “letter and spirit of the rules.” Under federal law, however, letters and emails written and received by federal officials, such as the secretary of state, are considered government records and are supposed to be retained so that congressional committees, historians and members of the news media can find them. There are exceptions to the law for certain classified and sensitive materials. Mrs. Clinton is not the first government official — or first secretary of state — to use a personal email account on which to conduct official business. But her exclusive use of her private email, for all of her work, appears unusual, Mr. Baron said. The use of private email accounts is supposed to be limited to emergencies, experts said, such as when an agency’s computer server is not working. “I can recall no instance in my time at the National Archives when a highranking official at an executive branch agency solely used a personal email account for the transaction of government business,” said Mr. Baron, who worked at the agency from 2000 to 2013. Regulations from the National Archives and Records Administration at the time required that any emails sent or received from personal accounts be preserved as part of the agency’s records. But Mrs. Clinton and her aides failed to do so. How many emails were in Mrs. Clinton’s account is not clear, and neither is the process her advisers used to determine which ones related to her work at the State Department before turning them over. “It’s a shame it didn't take place automatically when she was secretary of state as it should have,” said Thomas S. Blanton, the director of the National Security Archive, a group based at George Washington University that advocates government transparency. “Someone in the State Department deserves credit for taking the initiative to ask for the records back. Most of the time it takes the threat of litigation and embarrassment.” Mr. Blanton said high ­level officials should operate as President Obama does, emailing from a secure government account, with every record preserved for historical purposes. “Personal emails are not secure,” he said. “Senior officials should not be using them.” Penalties for not complying with federal record keeping requirements are rare, because the National Archives has few enforcement abilities. Mr. Merrill, the spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, declined to detail why she had chosen to conduct State Department business from her personal account. He said that because Mrs. Clinton had been sending emails to other State Department officials at their government accounts, she had “every expectation they would be retained.” He did not address emails that Mrs. Clinton may have sent to foreign leaders, people in the private sector or government officials outside the State Department. The revelation about the private email account echoes longstanding criticisms directed at both the former secretary and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, for a lack of transparency and inclination toward secrecy. And others who, like Mrs. Clinton, are eyeing a candidacy for the White House are stressing a very different approach. Jeb Bush, who is seeking the Republican nomination for president, released a trove of emails in December from his eight years as governor of Florida. It is not clear whether Mrs. Clinton’s private email account included encryption or other security measures, given the sensitivity of her diplomatic activity. Mrs. Clinton’s successor, Secretary of State John Kerry, has used a government email account since taking over the role, and his correspondence is being preserved contemporaneously as part of State Department records, according to his aides. Before the current regulations went into effect, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, who served from 2001 to 2005, used personal email to communicate with American officials and ambassadors and foreign leaders. Last October, the State Department, as part of the effort to improve its record keeping, asked all previous secretaries of state dating back to Madeleine K. Albright to provide it with any records, like emails, from their time in office for preservation. “These steps include regularly archiving all of Secretary Kerry’s emails to ensure that we are capturing all federal records,” said a department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki. The existence of Mrs. Clinton’s personal email account was discovered by a House committee investigating the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi as it sought correspondence between Mrs. Clinton and her aides about the attack. Two weeks ago, the State Department, after reviewing Mrs. Clinton’s emails, provided the committee with about 300 emails — amounting to roughly 900 pages — about the Benghazi attacks. Mrs. Clinton and the committee declined to comment on the contents of the emails or whether they will be made public. The State Department, Ms. Psaki said, “has been proactively and consistently engaged in responding to the committee’s many requests in a timely manner, providing more than 40,000 pages of documents, scheduling more than 20 transcribed interviews and participating in several briefings and each of the committee’s hearings.” A version of this article appears in print on March 3, 2015, on page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Clinton Used Personal Email at State Dept..

Just like lois lerner and her cronies over at the IRS did.....

 

hobummer and valerie jarrett are running a seperate gubment and this is

their modus operendi. SOP for them all day every day.

 

There is NO transparency.  This evil creeps around in our White House unleashing their

horrific agenda and sticking it to US but good!

 

If we were to lift the lid completely off, even the most ardent hobummer supporters would cringe

at the complete disconnect from every single American value ever wrought to this Republic.

 

 

And they use our own 'justice' system against US when we call them out on these things.

 

They keep US tied up  in courts and hearings whilst they go about their business of "fundamentally changing"

our Nation, knowing good cannot keep pace with their brand of evil.

03/05/2015

A commission of inquiry in the US House of Representatives controlled by Republicans Wednesday announced that it would ask the judiciary compel the State Department apprised the electronic messages sent by former Secretary of State Hillarious Clinton from her e-mail and related personal attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.

The chairman of the commission of inquiry in the attack on the consulate in 2012, Republican Rep. Terry Godi told reporters that he discovered "last week" that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that Hillarious Clinton came to gain power since 2009 and until 2013, was not able to send copies of all correspondence former minister because the latter was used in email correspondence personally and not e-government.

The New York Times reported Monday that Clinton were not used an email when the government and the secretary of state, sparking undecided about the transparency of women that look today at the front of potential candidates to run in the presidential race in 2016 work.

And Wednesday stressed State Department spokeswoman Mary Harff that the use of a special e-mail by a government official is not legally prohibited.

According to The New York Times, the State Department recently received from Clinton 50 thousand electronic correspondence with a view archived, but Republicans say that this does not guarantee that all correspondence was delivered.

Patraeus was forced to plead guilty for unauthorized possession of and improper storage of classified materials, and for allowing his biographer (a US Army Major) access to what the media calls "his black books" but which sound like a diary, and which apparently contained no classified info that wasn't very, very outdated (e.g., his travels, thoughts on just completed ops, etc.)  So, the charged felony was downgraded to a misdemeanor. 

 

Holder's political thugs are also going after the Special Forces soldier who shot Bin Laden for unauthorized disclosure of State secrets, ignoring the small detail that the only info in the book not previously disclosed by the struting cowards in the White House is crap like what brad of gum the were chewing during the helo rides.  The sin is said to be the failure to get the book vetted before publication.  The real sin is that a brave actual doer might steal a bit of the limelight from the White House cowards, and maybe even make a buck in the process.

 

Hillarious did ALL of her emails on her personal email address with her personal, at-home server computer as her ISP.  It should be assumed that everyone in the world had access to everything on that server.  Obviously many of the files had, and continue to have, significant intelligence info the possession of which by various evil-doers compromises the security of the US.  She claims that she copied the official State Department email archives on all of her official emails, and has apparently agains forward to State some 55,000 emails, "in compliance with the rules."

 

We MUST assume that she has and continues to hide all emails and files that might reflect unfavorably on her political aspirations.  We are, in the absence of the immediate physical possession of the server by techs under the supervision of an "independent" prosecutor, entitled to assume that the hiden files contain conclusive evidence of treasonous actions on her part in furtherence of her political ambitions. We may also assume the files contain evidence of financial corruption involving foreign money, the Clinton Foundation, and political her political friends and causes.  When you knowingly, grossly, and repeatedly violate the law in making and hiding records, we must presume that that criminal activity is committed for the purpose of hiding the evidence of even more serious criminal activities. 

 

Judge Napolitano and others explained on FOX this morning (3/5/15) that: the LAW, not mere administrative rules and guidelines, requires that all of her official correspondence be maintained immediately on media under the control of the State Department, and that no such documents can be given to her personally in any form until after she leaves office, asks for them, and then only after each of them has been individually vetted by security personnel.  She has simply reversed that law, keeping everything to herself except that which she deigned to share with her emplyor.  The penalty for EACH document in violation of the law is three years in jail plus fines.  

 

Oh well, at least she'll still "look" good.  Orange is the new black, you know.

Well said Xtaxguy... she has a history of behaving like she's above the law, lying and omitting to cover her tracks.  And now, she is hung by her own petard!  ;)

Here's a theory expressed by a caller on Rush today... this scandal is real, brazen, pre-meditated, highly unlawful... and ALL Hillarious!  She can't blame anyone, deny knowledge of the law nor take anyone down with her.  If the left wants to FINALLY get rid of her once and for all... this is it!

As the controversy grows over Hillarious Clinton’s exclusive use of a personal email account for official business during her tenure as Secretary of State, one of those most concerned is House Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy.

Gowdy said on Tuesday that he intended to get to the bottom of the controversy:

On Wednesday, he followed through; the committee issued a subpoena for Hillarious’s personal emails:

“The committee is going to have to go to her, her lawyers and her email providers to ensure we have access to everything the American people are entitled to know.”

Also troubling, the computer server used to send, receive and store Clinton’s emails was traced backed to an Internet service registered to her home in Chappaqua, New York, as reported by The Washington Post.

“The Select Committee on Benghazi today issued subpoenas for all communications of former Secretary of State Hillarious Clinton related to Libya and to the State Department for other individuals who have information pertinent to the investigation.

The committee also has issued preservation letters to internet firms informing them of their legal obligation to protect all relevant documents.”

According to The New York Times, Clinton advisers reviewed tens of thousands of pages of Clinton’s emails in January and decided which emails to turn over to the State Department in response to its new efforts to comply with federal record-keeping requirements. Ultimately, 55,000 pages were provided to the department.

At issue for Gowdy and the Select Committee, is whether Clinton’s emails will shed new light on the depth of her involvement in the Benghazi scandal. To date, the committee has only received 300 emails from Clinton’s personal account.
