Clinton Camp Issues Clarification On Deleted Emails, Claims ‘Every’ Message Was Reviewed
Fox news ^ | March 16, 2015 | Fox News

Posted on 03/16/2015 12:01:06 AM PDT by lbryce

Hillary Clinton’s camp late Sunday issued a significant clarification about the steps they say were taken to review thousands of personal emails before they were deleted, claiming her team individually read “every email” before discarding those deemed private.

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill made the clarification in a written statement to Fox News. This comes after the former secretary of state’s office revealed last week that while more than 30,000 “work-related” emails were turned over to the State Department, nearly 32,000 were deemed “private” and deleted.

This admission raised questions over how her team decided to get rid of those messages. Merrill on Sunday clarified an earlier fact sheet that described some of those methods but did not say every email was read.

Wow! That's great! Her status as odds-on-favorite presidential candidate has now been restored! Once again her reputation as someone of sterling morality, doing things by the book has been her saving grace! You just can't ever be too honest or too meticulous.

Imagine that! 32,000 emails, each one checked with meticulous care. And since they were deemed private, deleting them was as easy as pushing a button.

But Her Highness won’t make them public.

I guess we have to take her word for it 55,000 e-mails were reviewed.

Sounds like more Clintonian parsing.

That's right! What's your problem? This all the VRWC's fault!

We have only Hillary’s word for it that they were private.

Deleting the e-mails is very likely a felony.

They were all supposed to be turned over to the State Department.

In a word, Hillary and her staff don’t get to decide on their own what to keep and to delete.

The law? Pshaw, that’s for the Little People.

No secretary of state has ever been crazy enough to route the entire corpus of their electronic communications - official and unofficial - through a server they owned personally, thereby commingling the two types of information.

There’s a good chance the legal framework for protecting the State Department’s communications was created without ever anticipating this situation.

For that reason, Hillary’s legal team will be able to tie this issue up in court, arguing every semicolon and comma, until the end of time.

Indeed.

She will never be prosecuted, no matter how brazen she gets.

Hillary could commit murder in broad daylight and her flacks would rush to her defense.

This woman doesn’t see that she did anything wrong and besides she is entitled to special treatment.

For her, this is just a bump on the road to the Oval Office.

The fact that this wasn’t noticed or commented on until now, by even one of the thousands of people who must have communicated with Mrs. Clingon during the six years of her tenure as Secretary of State, is almost unbelievable as well.

So. Like they delicately parsed in their explanation, they didn’t filter search first? But reviews 50k emails? Right. Liars

To be fair, no one knew she ran her business on her personal server.

Clinton is the living embodiment of the “Do As I Say, Don’t Do As I Do” approach to life.

She only admitted this because she had to not because its in her nature to be candid with people.

It would take months for a staff to review 55,000 e-mails.

Now alerted, she’s shredding any evidence that could be used against her.

The woman is many things but Hillary is far from stupid and she’s making sure that this is one thing that goes away for good.

She may never get jail time for this, but I think it will cost her the nomination. Her camp carefully parsed and described the ‘process’ of review for those emails, and now when it looks bad, they revise and extend their claim. No.

What she did was illegal in the framework of the Open Records Act of 1978 and laws since then (even if they weren’t in force when she put the server in, it was operating after their enactment.)

Additionally, she has no way to prove the emails deleted did not contain classified information - they are supposedly lost. This is a security violation in itself. And, even if HER people reviewed EVERY email, every word and comma, it is a violation because cognizant government security professionals did not do the review.

This legality aside, like Bill’s sex peccadillos, these are two different horses. Bill has/had the aura of likeability and down to earthiness many were drawn to. No so with Hillary. It’s more of a tinge than an aura. She isn’t likeable, she is not ‘motherly’, not ‘grandmotherly’, not a hard working corporate woman freeing all the women from that glass ceiling. If someone had thrown a bucket of water on her during the UN presser, she’d have melted. She is in it for herself. She owes no one and is controlled by no one.

If it is true that Valarie Jarrett is the one who secretly leaked the existence of the server, Hillary is not the administration’s chosen replacement. Possibly the best thing Obama could do for himself is cut her loose. Let the AG appoint a special prosecutor and let the melee run up to 2016 begin.

She’s out there twisting in the wind, and she only has Lanny Davis, Paul Begala, Georgie Stephanopolis and James “Lizard” Carville to bleat out ridiculous agitprop. No NYT, LAT, AP, WaPo, etc. Things aren’t looking good for her.

These people who supposedly reviewed her emails...do you suppose they also had the necessary security clearances if they saw emails they shouldn’t have?

It still doesn’t make them cognizant government security personnel.

I’ve been involved with handling classified information for a very long time and when there is an incident such as this, everything is turned over to the cognizant security office (DoS has one, I betcha!)for review and investigation and there is a specified process for accomplishing that.

They are not subordinates of the person concerned and they don’t have a personal stake in the outcome.

The explanation is laughable and is pure BS meant to give a false impression to the public.

No.

They’re not security professionals.

But since Hillary has made it clear the law doesn’t apply to her, they felt free to delete just about everything.

As Hillary is fond of saying: “What difference does it make?”

None. And she will get away with it.
