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 Clintons deputy chief of staff. Both rank among Clintons 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 Abedins 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.

The use of private email addresses may explain the State Departments 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 Reineswhose job it was to communicate with reportersemailing 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 Departments story about what happened in Benghazi crumbles, Clintons personal spokesperson, Philippe Reines, loses his temper. Have a good day. And by good day I mean F*** Off.
There are many more ____@clintonemail.com account holders......count on it.
Whoa........Michael Hastings was killed in that strange car accident.......is he the one who said he was working on a huge story and would go dark for a while?
