I laughed at that. DOS should be a disqualification from ever being allowed to use a computer again.

I’m guessing she had an Apple laptop.

Conspiracy is what gets ‘em every time. First, because it’s illegal, and second because there’s somebody to squeal.

Where would President Hillery hide her secret, against the rules - stand alone P.C. server in the WHITE HOUSE ? In the Blue Room , in the Map Room, maybe in kitchen in a fake dishwasher cutout? Maybe put a little tool shack out in the Rose Garden to hide it. Who knows. Tell me.

DOSE is not Disk Operating System. It stands for Department of State.

[FReepaholic]

...A DOS PC are you kidding? This is the Onion, right?...

Department of State.

[Bryan24]

She had NO state department email. Would it not cross your mind that senior, and even some junior, State Department officials might want to email something job related to her? Hillary’s intent from the beginning was to have none of her decisions or communications ever captured by email.

That is a clear violation of the spirit and letter of the Federal Records Act.

Judicial Watch announced it received records from the Department of State disclosing that senior State Department officials planned to set up a "stand-alone PC" so that Clinton could check her emails in an office "across the hall" through a separate, non-State Department computer network system.

We demand the Congress look into this. Did the DOJ's Computer Forensics Division look into Hillary's State Dept server?

This type of crime is the illegal exploitation of computer technologies, usually to support crimes such as fraud, identity theft, sharing of information, and embezzlement. A link to the U.S. Department of Justice's website about e-crime and the DOJ's computer forensics activities is at their web site.

Examples of computer crime are:

<><> Fraud achieved by the manipulation of computer records.

<><> Spamming wherever outlawed completely or where regulations controlling it are violated.

<><> Deliberate circumvention of computer security systems.

<><> Unauthorised access to or modification of programs (see software cracking and hacking).

<><> Intellectual property theft, including software piracy.

<><> Industrial espionage by means of access to or theft of computer materials.

<><>*Identity theft where this is accomplished by use of fraudulent computer transactions.

<><>>* Writing or spreading computer viruses or worms.

<><>* "Salami slicing" is the practice of stealing money repeatedly in extremely small quantities

<><> Denial-of-service attack, where company websites are flooded with service requests and their website is overloaded and either slowed or crashes completely

Sen Grassley probes Clinton aide's refusal to cooperate with investigators / By Sarah Westwood / Wash/Examiner / Feb 2, 2016

A top aide to Hillary Clinton "refused" to cooperate with investigators looking into whether the Clinton team suppressed a 2012 records request that could have exposed their private email use years before a separate congressional inquiry did so, Sen. Chuck Grassley said Monday.

Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Grassley raised concerns about the role Cheryl Mills, then-chief of staff to Clinton, played in blocking a Freedom of Information Act request for Clinton's email use in a pair of letters to the State Department and the agency's inspector general Monday.

Grassley cited an inspector general report made public in January that detailed, among other things, the extent of officials' knowledge of Clinton's private email use throughout the State Department. Dozens of agency staff were aware Clinton used private addresses to shield her communications.

But Mills intervened when a watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, submitted a FOIA request for records "sufficient to show the number of email accounts of, or associated with, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton."

"Ms. Mills and senior department officials knew about Secretary Clinton's use of private email for official correspondence since they were sending emails to her non-government email address," Grassley wrote in his letters Monday. "They would have known instantly of records responsive to that request."

"Yet, it was approximately five months later before the department officially responded to CREW's request for email accounts associated with Secretary Clinton," the Iowa Republican continued. "And its response was misleading, at best: 'no records responsive to your request were located.' "

However, more recent FOIA requests over Clinton's emails have forced the release of thousands of responsive records, including the 55,000 pages of her emails presently published or under review by the State Department.

Grassley said Mills "refused to speak with" officials in the State Department's inspector general office when they approached her about her involvement in smothering CREW's records request in 2012.

According to the inspector general, a State Department spokesman had flagged the potentially damaging FOIA request for Mills, who passed it on to a trusted staffer and White House liaison and instructed her to find out how the agency planned to handle the request. Months later, the watchdog group received a notice that the records they sought did not exist.

Grassley demanded to know why the State Department waited so long to respond to such a simple request, and why the eventual response failed to turn up documents that clearly existed.

he State Department has come under fire over the past year for its handling of FOIA requests, which more than doubled after the discovery of Clinton's private email use in March of last year.

Agency officials have battled dozens of FOIA lawsuits in court, only to have judges shoot down State's arguments against releasing Clinton's records. A handful of such federal cases has forced the agency to hand over documents related to her diplomatic tenure.

I wonder who/what was "REDACTED"?

Surprised to see A Lewis. New name in Hillary email scandal? Ann Lewis, Dem strategist?

Anne Lewis is CEO of Anne Lewis Strategies, a Democratic fundraising firm with clients in both the political and nonprofit world.

Movers & Shakers: Anne Lewis

Hmmm..................

[Liz]

Sood catch....seems like the clintonoids made out like bandits.

Taxpayers were relegated to the loser list.

[jazusamo]

It looks Like those emails are addressed to Lewis A. Lukens, at that time the Dep Asst SOS.

[thouworm]

thanks for correction! I was getting ready to post another sleuthing post. :-)

How did I repeatedly misread the punctuation? only excuse.... Iowa Caucus prevented me from getting enough sleep. ;)

Now Ann Lewis is still suspect in my mind. lol

[jazusamo]

Don’t feel bad, when I first went back and looked I thought you were right until I remembered writing a keyword “Lewis Lukens.”

I checked and found out his middle initial is A. :-)
