Hillary's emails are on a homebrew server registered to a pseudonym
Business Insider ^ | 03/04/2015 | JACK GILLUM AND TED BRIDIS, ASSOCIATED PRESS

Posted on 03/04/2015 7:05:21 AM PST by SeekAndFind

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, 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@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.

There’s no way to get around the obvious fact that this
was an intentional effort to break the law regarding
official communications.

I’ll bet she’s just one of many government “servants” doing this.

The Clintotn's are no strangers to technology abuse to hide official acts. They are masters of it, not technology Luddites.

Paul Sperry, then the top investigative reporter at WorldNet Daily, reported in 2000 on how Bill Clinton purposely downgraded the telephone systems at the West Wing in order to hide calls going to/from specific telephones.

Sperry also reported on the missing White House emails of Al Gore, and how the entire email archive process was tainted, likely intentionally.

So who was actually running the server?
I refuse to believe that Hillary would have even the slightest first clue of how to do that.

I pray the guy does not now end up in Fort Marcy Park.

Who paid for the equipment, installation and the ongoing maintence? Did those who worked on the system have clearances?

And quite possibly a technique for making content available to those with considerable hacking resources. Easier to snoop a home-brew server than national security level systems. If you _want_ someone to have access who, officially, must not ... what better way than keep those official secrets where those you want to sneak a peek can?

I guarantee you Hitlary the penny pinching, White House Silverware thieving, corrupt wench turned in expense costs to be reimbursed for both phone and email costs. If we paid for them, they are the property of the U.S. Government. No doubt, Cheryl Mills the corrupt Lawyer is eyeball deep in this cover up scandal too.

Being a well qualified and experienced FR Conspiracy Nut I can't avoid thinking about the timing of the release of this story.

Here are the 3 big stories of the last day or two:

1. The Benjamin Netanyahu speech.
2. The Supreme Court hearing the Obamacare arguments about Federal subsidies.
3. Emailgate.

Who benefits from this amazing coincidence? Answer: Obama. And here is why, IMHO:

Obama wants a distraction from the Netanyahu speech.
Obama wants a distraction from the Supreme Court review of Obamacare Subsidies.
Obama cannot control Netanyahu and the Supreme Court
Obama does not want Hillary to become the next President.
Obama can control the timing of the release of the Emailgate story - assuming he controlled the source.

Hmmmmm.

We have the most corrupt and vile government in our history. It must be stopped before it kills millions.

Yup. Emailgate was leaked by either the White House or crazed Liz Warren fans. Would never see the light of day of Conservatives were behind it.

I would have to admit some respect for the chutzpah had the domain been registered to a “Vincent Foster” or “Webster Hubble”

And that breach would not have any “tracks”.

Interesting theory, but I don’t think the Clintons would be of that mindset, to intentionally give away national security secrets. They’re more along the lines of “let’s get away with stuff the law doesn’t allow us to do”.

I wonder how this was paid ?
If she passed the expense of this on to the feds,(creative expense reimbursement ?), everything on that server(not just government business) should be fair game.

Breitbart article says the Server was registered to a person who may not exist. Either way, I believe that registering a State Dept. site with Secure information is a crime. How can a person without ANY security clearance be given the nations secrets. Even if it is a ficticious person.

I would not doubt the Server was provided for free with surveillance included, by the Russians; if not the Iranians.
