Hadn't heard of this before now
THIS HAS CRIMINAL IMPLICATIONS A cabinet-level government employee using their own server and personal e-mail exclusively is unheard of.
<><> the US govt tech system is really fussy....particularly about emails from the US State Dept.
<><> a govt official (particularly the Secy of State) cannot simply buy a brand new computer with licenses and programs and expect to have it certified.
<><> US govt officials are required to have a government-purchased computer, set up by the govt, utilizing a CACC card cleared technician.
<><> a high government official (particularly the Secy of State) to utilize day to day a non-government computer for communications in the performance of their job is in violation of security laws in dozens of ways.
<><> whether marked as such, all emails emanating from Hillaryâs private server are classified ntl security data.
It is considered a crime for ex-govt employees to possess ntl security emails. All ntl security material belongs to the American people and is to be turned over upon termination of employment.
Ntl security info transferred from the State Dept and stored in The Clinton Foundation server is an atrocity.
A member of Hillary Clinton/s staff at the Department of State emailed classified information about the government in Congo to a staffer at the Clinton Foundation in 2012, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Cheryl Mills, Clinton/s chief of staff at the State Department, sent the email to the Clinton Foundationâs foreign policy director, Amitabh Desai, on July 12, 2012.
The message, which was originally obtained by the group Citizens United through a public records request, is partially redacted because it includes âforeign government informationâ that has been classified as âConfidentialâ by the State Department.
Although the information was not marked classified by the State Department until this past summer, intelligence sources tell the Free Beacon that it would have been classified at the time Mills sent it because âforeign government informationâ is considered classified from inception.
The message could add to concerns from congressional and FBI investigators about whether former Secretary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while at the State Department.
The email, which discussed the relationship between the governments in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, was originally drafted by Johnnie Carson, the State Departmentâs assistant secretary for African affairs, who sent it to Millsâ State Department email address.
Mills later forwarded the full message to Desai along with âtalking points for Presient [sic] Clintonâ shortly before Bill Clinton was scheduled to visit the region.
About half of the forwarded message was redacted due to its classified nature before the State Department released it to Citizens United last month. Although it is not clear what the redacted section includes, the State Department said in a court motion filed last week that it âconcerns both foreign government information and critical aspects of U.S. foreign relations, including U.S. foreign activities carried out by officials of the U.S. Government.â
The State Department added that the âdisclosure of this information has the potential to damage and inject friction into our bilateral relationship with African countries whose cooperation is important to U.S. national security.â
The Clinton Foundation and the State Department did not respond to request for comment about the email, or say whether Desaiâa non-government employee who has worked at the foundation since 2007âwould have been authorized to view âConfidentialâ information.
