While President Barack Obama claimed that he found out about Hillary Clinton's private email from news reports (Presidents: they're just like us!), White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said today that the president and Clinton had indeed exchanged emails using Clinton's private address.
“The president, as I think many people expected, did over the course of his first several years in office trade emails with his secretary of state,” Earnest said. “I would not describe the number of emails as large, but they did have the occasion to email each other.”
Earnest then attempted to explain away Obama's earlier comments, saying that just because the president claimed he had no idea about Clinton's email address does in fact not mean that they had not exchanged emails.
“The point that the president was making is not that he didn’t know Secretary Clinton’s email address, he did,” Earnest said. “But he was not aware of the details of how that email address and that server had been set up or how Secretary Clinton and her team were planning to comply with the Federal Records Act.”
Now, call me crazy, but shouldn't the President of the United States be concerned with the possibility that his Secretary of State is potentially violating federal law? Given that Pres. Obama possesses degrees from some of the most prestigious universities in the country, I'm assuming he's capable of reading an email address. It's quite strange to me that neither he nor anyone else connected with Clinton's State Department bothered to question why she was using a non-governmental email address during her tenure.
This story may stink to high heaven, but I have a feeling it's only just beginning.
But he just found out about the prive email server from the media.
Yea, right.
Since this involves criminal activity by Hillary, wouldn’t presidential confidentiality be out the window?
Another lie by the feckless one but who is counting? I am.
When elected---he announced his position did not allow him to text or use a computer....for ntl security reasons.
Now he's singing a different tune to CBS News over the weekend (after being asked abt Clinton using a private address for State Dept business).
OBAMA: "The policy of my administration is to encourage transparency, which is why my emails, the Blackberry I carry around, all those records are available and archived, and I'm glad that Hillary’s instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed."
Cattle prods to the genitals.
I wonder if Barry is still so surprised?
BHO resisted giving up his personal Blackberry upon taking office. He is plenty tech savvy. There’s no way he didn’t realize Hillary’s email was not a .gov address.
It’s certainly possible—after all, I doubt that his golf cart has a portable TV showing CNN...

How much longer will we endure these criminals, these usurpers, these destroyers of good and innocence?
Man. Obama is one big liar. He don’t know anything until he’s caught, and then it’s always somebody else’s fault. He acts like a five year old.
Bingo— that is where the info is.. and it is preserved at NSA. How grifters work— texting real time.
I take it for granted that the NSA, and the Russian, Chinese, and Iranian intelligence services have all read them.
The only ones who don’t know what was written are us.
It’s a big carny act, and we’re the rubes.
PS: The Russians, Chinese and Iranians will hold their counsel, and not use the information until
1. They make a play to blackmail President Hillary or
2. They want to blow her out of the water with a leak.
What a bunch of self-aggrandizing criminals.
The FOIA requests have already been filed, assuming that she sent her email to Barack Obama’s offical government email account. Of course, if Obama has a private, secret, email account then all bets may be off. So, Mr. President, do you have a secret squirrel email account. Inquiring minds want to know.
As usual, this excuse depends on the sheeple just not understanding much of anything involved here.
Obama was pretty much sending email to the following people:
General.Petraus@CIA.us.gov
Tim.Geithner@Treasury.us.gov
Leon.Panetta@Defense.us.gov
Eric.Holder@AttorneyGeneral.us.gov
Hillary.Clinton@I_have_an_illegal_email_server_in_my_basement.com
And he knew he was doing that, and it never seemed odd to him.
If it's not "us.gov" it jumps out and bites you. EVERYONE is "us.gov" -- but not Hillary?? WTF??
LIARS!!!!
FUBO
