State Department Accused Of ‘Incompetence’ After It ‘Finds’ 81,000 Clinton Aide Emails
Daily Caller ^ | August 17, 2015 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 08/17/2015 2:03:00 PM PDT by maggief

The State Department says it has more than 81,000 state.gov emails from a top Clinton aide at the State Department despite the agency’s past claims that it did not have such records.

The discrepancy, which has led to accusations that the State Department is either “lying” or “incompetent,” is laid out in the agency’s Aug. 13 response in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Gawker.

In Sept. 2012, the website filed a FOIA request for emails Clinton aide Philippe Reines sent to reporters at various news agencies. The State Department responded in July 2013, saying that it found no responsive records.

Gawker followed up with an appeal saying it is “difficult to believe” that Reines sent no emails on his state.gov account given that some of his emails had already been published at the time.

It’s become impossible to distinguish corruption from incompetence, both being so overwhelmingly abundant.

has led to accusations that the State Department is either “lying” or “incompetent,”

Being guilty of either does not mean they are innocent of the other.

State Dept. confirms Clinton aides had other unreported email accounts
Washington Times ^ | 8/15/15 | Stephen Dinan
Posted on August 15, 2015 at 11:35:07 AM CDT by markomalley

Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s top aides, used personal email accounts to conduct government business in addition to a State Department email and an account on the controversial server Mrs. Clinton kept at her New York home, the State Department confirmed to a federal court Friday.

The State Department admitted to the judge that it doesn’t have control over those documents, and can’t be sure it has all of the records from their time in the administration.

John F. Hackett, the top open-records official at the department, said they have officially concluded that Ms. Abedin and Ms. Mills “used personal email accounts located on commercial servers at times for government business.” Ms. Abedin, meanwhile, had an account at clintonemail.com, the domain tied to the Clinton home server.

Mr. Hackett also said he has no way of knowing what else might be out there, and has to trust the two women and their lawyers to turn over what they have.

My bet is the State Department is lying.

How convenient that the State Department found these emails
since the FBI has recently opened an investigation.

I hate to get my hopes up, but is this the free fall we have been expecting from the left we have been waiting for over the last thirty years?
