Emailgate Disqualifies Hillary Clinton For POTUS
Investor's Business Daily ^ | March 4, 2015 | IBDEDITORIALS

Posted on 03/04/2015 5:49:36 AM PST by raptor22

Scandal: The former secretary of state's use of a personal account to exclusively conduct government business and to protect her political future in violation of the law ought to disqualify her from the presidency.

'Witch hunts" sometimes find a witch, and those who dismissed the establishment of the House Benghazi Select Committee, chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., as just another witch hunt are eating their words.

The existence of a personal account that Hillary Clinton used to conduct government business as secretary of state was discovered by the committee and reported by the New York Times.

Clinton's use of this personal account explains why investigations of the Benghazi terrorist attack — and her culpability in our diplomatic mission's vulnerability there, the failure to heed warnings and the cover-up afterward — failed to find much email evidence of her direct involvement.

Follow up on the subject. Basically, LOL. Does anybody believe that a mere email issue would put a stop to the hildebeast express? These lyin’, cheatin’, socialist, trash heaps are just doing what they do with no fear of consequences. To them it’s just standard operating procedure.

anyone who supports Hillary is knowingly supporting a criminal. But then again, most politicians are criminals as those in DC have so proved.

One would think the 920 GOP FBI files in her possession would have disqualified her back in the 1990’s from being anything other than a convicted felon.

In a perfect world, maybe.

Meanwhile, in the Watergate era, didn’t Charles Colson go to prison for having just one FBI file in his possession?

Blumenthal while not a government employee (apparently from reports I read)may have had email exchanges that involved State Department or other Government security information over that private non-secure account.

Hillary needs to account for such illegal activity.

Dem apologists for Clinton assert that the server was secure, physically protected by Secret Service agents protecting her home.

Now for some interesting questions: WHO was her system administrator? Did he have remote access? What security clearance level did he have, given that some of her emails probably contained sensitive information, if not top secret and beyond?

someone should ask Obama if he ever wrote an email to Hilary. wouldn’t he want his mails secure ;)

If

1) She DID NOT HAVE a State Dept email address, as has been reported, and

2) Her email address was non-governmental, then

EVERYBODY in the Obama Administration who had occasion to want to send her an email would be aware that she had an illegal private email account.

Oftentimes such schemes fail when somebody slips up and reveals their hidden method - in this case, emailing from their secret email address to someone on their guv account. Thus, Gowdy needs to require aides to provide a complete list of private addresses.

Yes, that's an interesting observation. Anybody sending her email from their official .gov acct would leave an audit trail showing that official business was conducted with a private account. So everybody sending her email to that private account would have needed to have done so from THEIR OWN private account.

Several FReepers convinced me that the Chicago Mob has info on Arkancides which gives them mutually assured destruction with the Clinton Crime Family.

That is a good explanation why the Clintons did not use their vaunted private detective operation to spill the beans on Obama's fake life story in 2008.

http://gawker.com/source-top-clinton-aides-used-secret-email-accounts-at-1689246408

“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. Reines served as deputy assistant secretary of state, and Abedin as Clinton’s deputy chief of staff. Both rank among Clinton’s most loyal confidantes, in and out of the State Department.

We were able to independently verify that Abedin used a ClintonEmail.com address at some point in time. There are several email addresses associated with Abedin’s name in records maintained by Lexis-Nexis; one of them is huma@clintonemail.com. An email sent to that address today went through without bouncing.

(snip)

The use of private email addresses may explain the State Department’s puzzling response to several FOIA requests filed by Gawker in the past two years. One of our requests, in September 2012, sought correspondence between Reines and a variety of reporters, including former BuzzFeed reporter Michael Hastings, who engaged in a profanity-flecked exchange with Reines in 2012. That request was confoundingly denied on the grounds that the State Department had no record of Reines—whose job it was to communicate with reporters—emailing Hastings or any other journalists (Gawker is currently appealing the rejection). Another request in June 2011 sought Abedin's email correspondence; the State Department rejected that one as well, although we could not immediately locate the denial letter to determine on what grounds.

Hillary Clinton Aide Tells Reporter To “F*** Off” And “Have A Good Life”
As the State Department’s story about what happened in Benghazi crumbles, Clinton’s personal spokesperson, Philippe Reines, loses his temper. “Have a good day. And by good day I mean F*** Off.”

From gawker:

“...There are several email addresses associated with Abedin’s name in records maintained by Lexis-Nexis; one of them is huma@clintonemail.com. An email sent to that address today went through without bouncing. ...”

I wonder if it still works?

Hmmm... what should we say?
