According to a new report from the New York Times, the State Department announced that 18 emails between President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will be withheld from release to the public. These emails "had been sent through Hillary Clinton's private computer server" on her private email.
The report from the Times did not make the connection that Mr. Obama had lied. However, IOTW Report has found that this revelation proves that President Obama lied about how he gained knowledge of Ms. Clinton's server. According to CBS News, President Obama stated that he had no knowledge of Ms. Clinton's server during her time as Secretary of State.
Further, when asked directly by 60 Minutes, the President again denied any knowledge of it at all.
"Did you know about Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server?" 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft asked the President. "No," he responded. "While she was Secretary of State?" he pressed. "No," President Obama again answered.
The President continued, "I don't think it posed a national security problem. I think that it was a mistake that she has acknowledged."
Mr. Obama further argued that the issue was only a problem because Republicans are looking for a way to damage Ms. Clinton.
"I do think that the way it's been ginned-up is in part because of-- in part-- because of politics," he told Kroft. "And I think she'd be the first to acknowledge that maybe she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly."
This was not the only time that President Obama denied knowledge about Ms. Clinton's server. He also went so far as to say he did not even know about it before the general public. I learned about it "the same time everybody else learned it: through news reports," the President told CBS in a separate interview.
Ms. Clinton's own campaign site even acknowledges that the people she emailed using her private server knew that she was using such a server.
Obama lies about everything. He cannot NOT lie.
They have something actionable on the White House???
You know that includes W's presidency, too.
You've hit on a very interesting point.
Just how does the POTUS know with whom he is corresponding when he sends or receives an email?
I could send Obama an email and claim to be Biden. Would he just take my word for it? Would he exchange 18 emails with a previously unknown email address trying to identify the owner of the address?
Not very likely is it?
No, the answer is that Obama had to have been made aware of the fact that this non-government email address belonged to Hillary. Who told him? When was he told? Who else knew? Why did the exchange of emails end and when did it end?
Barry, you've got some 'splainin to do. Hillary knows the answers to those questions also. Let's ask her.
How do they know whether the messages were sent directly to Hillary’s server?
Correct.
