We now have a better idea of why Hillary Clinton hired a small IT firm to handle her emails

The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 21 Aug 15 | Alana Goodman

[elhombrelibre]

The firm Hillary Clinton hired to manage her private email server quietly removed information from its website in recent days, including references to its partnership with a Colorado data-scrubbing company.

Platte River Networks, the Denver-based company that hosted Clinton’s email server, deleted several pages from its website, including a section about how it outsources its data-disposal work to a local firm called Techno Rescue. That page appears to have been removed earlier this month, but can still be viewed in a cached version on major search engines.

On the now-removed page, Platte River Networks said it provided its customers with “complimentary e-waste technology recycling” through its partnership with Techno Rescue, including the “disposal of data still residing on old technology.”

It depends on the level of “wipe” or destruction. A simple delete from windows would not actually remove the files. That is why there is data destruction software that over writes the file making it much more difficult to recover the original file.

CLINTON CASH AUTHOR PETER SCHWEIZER OBSERVES:
Deleted Hillary Emails Probably Relate to shady ‘Clinton Cash’ Transactions......specifically the billions raked in by the Clinton Foundation.

As far back as 7/26/13, US Sen Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has been pressing the State Department to answer questions over top Hillary aide, Huma Abedin’s, lucrative govt job arrangement.

Sen Grassley wrote in a June 13 letter:

“It appears that Teneo Strategies may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence. "

" This raises important questions about whether Abedin’s dual role was adequately disclosed to government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.”

===================================================== HUMA ABEDIN UPDATE: currently vice-chair of Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign committee.

=================================================

Sen. Charles E.Grassley’s (R-Iowa) inquiry WRT possible “criminal” conduct by Hilary aide, Huma Abedin, got a response from State Dept investigators who concluded Abedin was overpaid by nearly $33,000 because she claimed leave time pay even though she was actually on leave.....a violation of US govt rules governing vacation and sick leave.

Sen Grassley needs to determine:

<><> (1) whether Abedin is still on the State Dept payroll collecting govt checks (an old bureaucratic trick), and,

<><> (2) whether Abedin violated 18 U.S.C.§1027; Abedin might have made false statements and colluded to conceal activities in relation to documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

It is also possible that Abedin’s collusion w/ Hillary, and other hidden offenses could include civil and/or criminal RICO violations. Hillary allowing Abedin’s several employments could also involve BUT not be limited to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government (involves several felonies and could include forgery);

Possibly infractions centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c); investigations could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate and international commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a “pattern” (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the “pattern” of racketeering activity.

Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

=================================================

Sen Charles Grassley's inquiry to State Dept investigator recently revealed that Huma Abedin improperly collected taxpayer dollars. Sen Grassley also inquired about Abedin's unusual employment status---whether US conflict-of-interest laws were violated when Hillary gave Abedin special employment status in which Abedin worked simultaneously for:

<><> (1) the State Department,

<><> (2) the Clinton Foundation,

<><> (3) as a private consultant,

<><> (4) consulted Teneo, a global financial firm w/ Bill Clinton a member of the board.

<><> formed her private company "Zain Endeavors,LLC" 12 days before she exited State.

I’m sure in the end we’ll find out the real owner of this IT company was Craig Livingstone and his mother.

Its shocking----Hillary's top aides used their positions at the State Dept to cash-in---they romped all over the State Dept looking for opportunities .....like it was their private playground.

Alana Goodman of the Washington Free Beacon details how Cheryl Mills, one of Hillary Clinton’s longtime underlings, apparently collected a paycheck from New York University at the same time she was serving as Chief of Staff of the State Department.

According to the article: After joining the State Department in the beginning of 2009, Mills continued to serve as general counsel for New York University for several months. She also sat on the board of the “NYU in Abu Dhabi Corporation,” the fundraising arm for the university’s UAE satellite campus. The school is bankrolled by the Abu Dhabi government and has been criticized by NYU professors and human rights activists for alleged labor abuses.

The UAE is a major funder of the Clinton Foundation, on whose board Mills sat. The article quotes NLPC Chairman Ken Boehm:

“Federal of conflict interest statutes are very strict, and they want to ensure that federal employees, especially very senior special employees like Cheryl Mills, do not have any conflicts of interest in any matter that they have a hand in,” said Boehm. “Given her position, the dual position of counselor and chief of staff, presumably she would have access to almost any decision of importance that came out of the State Department.”

UPDATE--

<><> Mills rejoined the board of the Clinton Foundation in 2013, after Hillary exited State.

<><> Mills currently runs the BlackIvy Group, a consulting firm that focuses on dirt-poor Sub-Saharan Africa.

<><>Did any of the Sub-Sahara countries listed below donate to the Clinton Foundation

<><> Did Mill's BlackIvy Group donate to The Clinton Foundation?

<><> Did the Clinton Foundation partner w/ BlackIvy Group in sub-Sahara projects?

SUB SAHARAN AFRICA---- African Union Benin Botswana Burkina Faso Cameroon Congo (Brazzaville) Congo (DRC-Kinshasa) Ethiopia Ghana Guinea Ivory Coast Kenya Lesotho Madagascar Malawi Mauritius Mozambique Namibia Niger Nigeria Rwanda Senegal Sierra Leone South Africa Swaziland Tanzania Togo Uganda Zambia.

===================================================

<><> (A) TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW HOW MANY GOVT PAYCHECKS MILLS WAS POCKETING

<><> IS CHERYL MILLS STILL ON THE PAYROLL COLLECTING US GOVT PAYCHECKS (an old bureaucratic trick)?

[bigbob]

The company and its new crisis manager Mr. Boian have long been involved in Democrat politics; Boian worked on Slick’s transition team, for instance. Not a random choice, either of them...

[pgkdan]

Good God! This is exponentially worse than even FOX is reporting. There’s no doubt that foreign entities have every email Hillary sent or received during her tenure as Secretary of State. She needs to be indicted.

1. Agree, larger companies wouldn’t have touched this server, 2. better to hid it from the feds...3. When the Clintons have to use their own money, try to get it done as cheaply as possible, but when using other peoples monies, e.g. taxpayers, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT. That’s my take on it. Whether or not she will be charged with anything remains to be seen.

Is this the same guy??

Clinton released the strategic oil reserves and 1/2 of it went to some slob who lived with his mother in an apartment in Harlem.

[Madame Dufarge]

Wonder what the name of the construction firm is.

In addition to deleting information about Techno Rescue from its website, Platte River Networks also removed a page that listed its top executives, a “Techno Rescue” logo from its “Partners” page, and references throughout its site to a construction firm that is one of its clients.

I want the hard drives from her photocopiers. I’ll bet noone thought to wipe those.
