There may be ANOTHER Clintonemail server

There’s another data company involved in the Hillary Clinton email saga. The FBI is trying to get a hold of Datto Inc.’s backup server to see if any of Clinton’s State Department emails can be found on it. It appears the company was hired to be the backup in May 2013, which is after Clinton left the State Department. The Washington Post writes that could mean Datto has just a few Clinton’s emails. Of course, it also means they could have a few years’ worth.

A Datto official said that investigators may be able to recover the e-mails if the data existed at the time the company was hired in May 2013 and had not been altered since.

A spokesman for Platte River, Andy Boian, said his company assumed that Datto would have retained data for only a short period and older e-mails would no longer be available.

CNN writes Clinton Executive Service Corp. handled the financing of the back up server, but Platte River actually bought it. So whether this was all done at the suggestion of Platte River or if Clinton cried out “BRING ME…ANOTHER SERVER!” like one of the Knights Who Say Ni isn’t clear. At the same time, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson sent Datto a letter suggesting the Clintons wanted to figure out if any of the backups could be deleted. He even points out Platte River workers may have been worried about the data backups, according to one employee email.

“I just think if we have it in writing that they told us to cut the backups, and that we can go public with our statement saying we have backups since day one, then we were told to trim to 30days (sic), it would make us look a WHOLE LOT better.”

Platte River is denying any sort of cover up, but why wouldn’t they? At this point, all they’re trying to do is be some small company in Colorado which just happened to be contacted by Hillary Clinton to store her emails. It’s possible that’s all they are, but that sure doesn’t appear likely if the reports of Platte River talking to Datto about the backup are true. Clinton’s camp is trying to deflect as much as possible, but this isn’t really going away.

This entire thing is so complicated, so…Clinton. This was a sitting Secretary of State using a private server and email to conduct government business. This same Secretary of State decided it was okay to get classified information sent to her email, even though there are former government workers out there who say the information was “born classified.” The server was never really secure to begin with because Russian hackers went after it at least five times. It’s absolutely amazing, and yet makes total sense that Clinton would have this set up and damn the consequences. Clinton can claim all she wants this private server was done “for convenience,” but is it really convenient when it appears you might be breaking federal law and maybe trying to hide information from the government at the same time?

It still doesn’t mean this is going to bring the entire house down around Team Hillary and end with her doing a spinoff of “Orange is the New Black.” It’s still up to a judge to decide whether all the emails should be made public, and it’s doubtful this Justice Department will ever pursue charges if it turns out Clinton did break the law. One thing DOJ and Judicial Watch are fighting in court over is whether Clinton’s server is similar to transcripts of phone conversations another secretary of state had. Here’s what POLITICO recounted on yesterday’s court hearing.

Judicial Watch contended that Clinton’s routine, exclusive use of her private server transformed the data in her account into government records.

“We don’t believe it was a personal email system because it was exclusively used while she was the head of the agency,” [ Judicial Watch attorney Michael ] Bekesha said.

[ Justice Department attorney Marcia ] Berman called that “an incredibly novel legal theory” and she said it was foreclosed by a 1980 Supreme Court decision that held FOIA could not be used to obtain near-transcripts of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s phone conversations. Kissinger sent those records to the Library of Congress on the condition that they not be released until five years after his death.

“It is very analogous” to the Clinton situation, Berman argued. “The government has, respectfully, done even more than it’s required to do in a FOIA case.”

Judicial Watch pointed out the server was used on a regular basis and the Kissinger conversations were typed out by his secretary. Judge Emmet Sullivan didn’t tip his hand during yesterday’s court hearing, and who knows if the FBI is going to claim the records can’t be released because of their investigation. So the wheels of something (justice?) are moving extremely slow and whether voters will remember this going into next year’s primaries is still yet to be seen. At the same time, it’ll sure be interesting what happens to Clinton’s poll numbers if, and when, Sullivan makes his decision. There’s another status conference this afternoon on the Clinton emails, and it’s curious to see if Judicial Watch attorneys will mention Datto’s apparent role in Clintonemail.

Three?

[realcleanguy]

Even though she just signed a document, a sworn statement that she has now handed everything over, a week later the State Department is requesting emails that she didn’t hand over. Now we find out there is another server. Damn, she just lied again. So many lies

[EagleUSA]

Criminals still “protecting” criminals ????
The ole Washington DC “two-step” ????

[Menthops]

Does not matter. Barring some evidence of wrongdoing, the Justice Department is not going carry the Benghwzi Committee’s water for it, and Kevin McCarthy has destroyed whatever credibility the Benghazi committee had to begin with.

The GOPe is so inept. The only focus they have is in trying to destroy Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

[Texas Eagle]

Damn. Hitlery has more email servers than Bill has concubines.

Matt Drudge: Sick Old Hillary's Head on a Stick, Brain in Jar, Oval Office

 

 Matt Drudge: Media propping up 'old and sick' Hillary

 Matt Drudge on Tuesday railed against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s health and her politics, saying he was worried the nation would end up “with Hillary’s brain in the Oval Office in a jar.”

 “She’s old and she’s sick,” the Drudge Report founder said in an interview with Alex Jones.

 Drudge slammed the media for propping up Clinton's candidacy.

"She's not a contender. They're making her a contender with these propped up Saturday Night Live things. It's like a head on a stick," he said, chiding NBC for "giving her endless hours of airtime."

 The media mogul cited Clinton's hypothyroidism as cause for concern.

"Anybody who is 70 years old who is hypothyroid, you do not elect president, ladies and gentlemen," he said.

"Where are the Stories on Hillary's Lovers?"

Hillary Clinton Lesbian Lovers Named in Secret Emails

Some of the presidential candidate’s famously “deleted” emails are packed full of lesbian references and her lovers’ names.

• A beauty in her early 30s who has often traveled with Hillary
• A popular TV and movie star
• The daughter of a top government official; and
• A stunning model who got a career boost after allegedly sleeping with Hillary

Datto is a backup solution that the company I work for uses. With out going into details of how it does it, the software makes an image of an entire server, keeps a copy locally on a device as well as sends it offsite. This copy can can be booted into a virtual machine for any day that backups exist and you can view any data that existed on that machine on that day.

So a “third server” is not really correct here, it is a copy of her email server. If they have backups from before she removed emails from the server, they would definitely be able to recover the emails.

I once had a colleague delete backups from offsite and locally before they were archived locally. Datto was able to restore the backups to a drive and send them to me, even though they had been marked as deleted some weeks earlier.

If the backups are encrypted, and the password is not supplied by the Clinton camp, or it is “forgotten” these backups would be lost forever.

“... and Kevin McCarthy has destroyed whatever credibility the Benghazi committee had to begin with.”

Does anyone know why McCarthy would come out, on TV no less, and say the things he did about the Benghazi committee? Is he really that stupid, or did he work out a deal with the House Democrats to ensure he will be the next Speaker in exchange for his sabotage?

I think what will finally do in Hillary is the Swiss investigation of FIFA President Sepp Blatter. That investigation could discover that the Clinton Foundation was used to launder bribe money to and from FIFA officials in Zurich--a massive violation of international finance laws and national tax laws.

HMMMMM...

[hsmomx3]

Wonder if there are juicy tidbits in his FBI file?

[TBP]

The one in Chappaqua, the one in a bathroom in Colorado, and this one, apparently.

Which one(s) did she wipe and which one(s) didn’t she?

[hoosiermama]

Appears she’s forgotten to wipe. More than one is full of.........bs emails

[minnesota_bound]

The Russkies and Chinese etc also have copies.

[Vermont Lt]

Here is the rub: they are not false statements. They are carefully worded statements that are accurate, but do not answer the intent of the question.

I did not tolerate such BS from my kids when they were seven (thinking they were oh so clever) and I don’t like it from a leader.

In the end she will be asked if America was nuked by ICBMs. She will be standing on a smoking heap of rubble and, knowing they were sub launched nukes, answer in the negative.

Her campaign slogan should be, “The difference, without a distinction.”

Wow. My position is that, according to Kimberly Strassel, the Clinton Foundation was accepting foreign government donations while Hillary was SoS.

Article 1 Section 9:

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state

I want some purple, or even blue, states to pass a law enforcing that constitutional provision. I propose something along the lines of

No person who, while an officer of the US government or of the State of ________, has without express, specific authorization by Congress, received foreign gifts in excess of $5000 (i.e., the limit of what is considered allowable as a campaign contribution in the US) from a foreign government (or any creature thereof), or who has been an officer in control of any organization or charitable entity which has done so, shall be placed on the ballot of any election in the State of ________. Nor shall any elector who is pledged to vote for such person for president or vice president of the United States be placed on any ballot in the State of _________.

The same disability shall pertain to any person, whether or not an officer or the United States or of the State of ________, who has received or authorized receipt of gift or remuneration in excess of $5000 from a creature of any foreign government or prince, within two years of declaring for election to the presidency of the United States or for Senator from the State of __________.

This would put teeth in the constitutional prohibition above, and extend it by essentially extending “office of profit or trust” to cover candidates for such offices, in keeping with the logic of the Constitution. After all, it is the acceptance of funds from foreign governments which is problematic about Clinton’s candidacy. The fact that she did it while SoS should be a criminal matter (if indeed it is not). The fact that she did it while contemplating a presidential run is what states should confound, by denying her any possibility of getting electoral votes.

It should go without saying that money laundering via the Clinton Foundation should be a disability of equal import.
