Sarah Palin is weighing in on Hillary Clintons use of private email addresses to conduct State Department business, saying it makes a mockery of transparency.
Thats unethical, no doubt illegal, and flies in the face of all claims of transparency, Palin wrote in a op-ed for Fox News published Monday.
As Palin notes in her op-ed, she once faced an email flap of her own. During her 2008 run for vice president, citizens and news organizations requested to see emails from the governor during her time in office. Following open-records requests by Mother Jones and other news outlets, Palin released 24,000 emails from her nearly three years as governor. The release included only mundane correspondence.
In 2008, Palins Yahoo! personal email address was compromised after hacker David Kernell gained access to her account by answering her security question. Kernell was later convicted of a felony charge and a misdemeanor for the hack.
In the op-ed, Palin describes the process behind the release of her emails, saying that an independent third party reviewed every email. There was no chance for any smoking gun to escape detection because nothing was kept secret in any way.
Hillary Clinton and her staff werent trying to be in compliance with the law; they were skirting it altogether, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential nominee alleged.
Because Clinton has instead handed over emails from her private server to the State Department, Palin said, she has evaded similar scrutiny.
She hasnt handed over the server to any independent party for review, and its already too late to do so because for all we know someone might have already deleted any trace of incriminating emails to and from Secretary Clinton and her aides, Palin said, pointing at Rep. Trey Gowdys (R-S.C.) claim that the emails submitted to the State Department are missing correspondence for months at a time.
This is the opposite of open and transparent government and obviously doesnt follow the rules, Palin wrote.
Speaking of hacked emails.
In March 2013, an adviser to Clinton, Sidney Blumenthal, had his e-mail hacked by “Guccifer” — the Romanian hacker perhaps best known for revealing George W. Bush’s paintings to the world. At the time, Gawker reported that Blumenthal was communicating with an account that appeared to belong to Clinton at the “clintonemail.com” domain. The content of some of those e-mails was published by RT.com.
That makes sense to me.
...” on a personal E-Mail server”...
Hillary said server Owned and operated and secured by “My husbands office”.
Mores sounds (again) of “another” Government operating within our Government.

VERY Shrew Observation sweet Caww.
Who Governs the Government?
I wonder who paid for the server that Hilliary Clinton keeps from the public veiw and the State Department.
The information on that server should be considered the property of the United States government as it was used for government work.
Get that server.

Same here. I think her Iowa Freedom speech was a turning point. When she spoke at CPAC, she was calm and focused on the issues.

She said it was from Bill’s office. His office at the Clinton Foundation? That would mean the server was paid by foreign donations.
She has done the exact same thing they pinned on Nixon. He was missing 16 minutes of tape. 16 lousy minutes. Probably a bunch of cursing. It couldnt be too much plus he got run out of office anyway.
At most it might have been an admission of the $ toward the coverup of an election break in. Not nothing, but it really doesn’t compare with running a whole private communication system without anyone knowing who all was given an email on Hillary’s server. And no one died during Watergate, certainly not an American Ambassador.
The McGruff post above yours proves that this server was for her, not Bill. It was begun the day she started her senate confirmation hearings.
