An email conversation between a top Hillary Clinton aide and a Clinton Foundation executive suggests the private server that Clinton and her staff used to communicate may have malfunctioned at least once during her tenure.
Huma Abedin, Clinton's then-deputy chief of staff, complained that her private email was "down" the evening of Oct. 9 and into Oct. 10, 2012, according to an email chain obtained by Citizens United through the Freedom of Information Act.
The crash described by Abedin took place just weeks after the terror attack in Benghazi.
Critics have said the homebrew server, which may have even resided in Clinton's Chappaqua home, likely left classified and sensitive information vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Clinton has never spoken about the types of security measures she might have taken to protect the server.
Abedin's connections to the Clinton Foundation have also come under fire in recent days given an inspector general probe into her designation as a "special government employee," which allowed her to collect paychecks from the State Department, the Clinton Foundation and a consulting firm called Teneo Strategies simultaneously.
The email chain obtained by Citizens United indicates Abedin discussed Clinton Foundation matters on her State Department account in at least this one instance.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote in a letter to Secretary John Kerry Thursday that Abedin had improperly collected a payment for unused leave time and suggested the inspector general had uncovered evidence that Abedin engaged in potential conflicts of interest.
"Huma Abedin is widely known as one of the hardest working and most dedicated public servants over the nearly two decades she served. The Inspector General's report is fundamentally flawed, including contradicting its own conclusion by finding that Huma — a woman who regularly worked 16-20 hour days — also worked hard while on maternity leave," said Karen Dunn, Abedin's attorney, of the watchdog's findings.
"No hardworking, dedicated public servant should be subjected to such irresponsible allegations based on a fundamentally flawed report — and it [is] appropriate that the State Department is now reviewing the IG's report," Dunn continued. "Huma has been nothing but cooperative in helping the Department work through its record keeping issues, and she will continue to do so in the hope the right thing is done."
Abedin has also worked with the inspector general during its probe, her attorney said.
Court documents filed July 7 indicated Abedin was then one of the only top Clinton aides who had yet to turn over their personal emails to the agency following its June 26 request.
Sullivan and Cheryl Mills, Clinton's chief of staff, had already complied with the request, according to the documents.
Abedin's attorney did not immediately return a request for comment on whether Abedin has since finished handing over her private, work-related emails.
The State Department inspector general also did not immediately return a request for comment on its investigation of Abedin's employment arrangement.
"My bigger problem right now is I can't even get into my clinton email," Abedin wrote to Stephanie Streett, executive director of the Clinton Foundation, on Oct. 10, 2012.
Abedin said she might need documents Streett had sent her to be re-routed to her official State Department account given the complications with her other address.
If we want all Hillary’s emails we should offer to pay the Chinese for them... and quit with the begging. It lacks dignity to beg Hillary when the Chinese can always be bought..
LOL!
“Huma Abedin is widely known as one of the hardest working and most dedicated public servants over the nearly two decades she served.”
Can anyone explain this “two decades she has served” claim?
I thought she was brought into the State Dept from private sector employment when Hillary became SoS in 2009.
Porn sites tend to be vulnerable to crashes due to high server loads.
Sure a lot of faulty computers at the IRS and at Clintons taxpayer paid for home.
I ain't like hillary bought hardware and software, did all the setup, configuring and managing?
Who installed & managed Hillary home-brew mail-server?
That is when the Hildabeast sent in the cleaning crew and bam, two months of email went missing.
The fact that he/she hasn't testified, tells you all you need to know about how seriously republicans are actually taking this. We're being played.
Congress should have sent Marshals to size that server at gunpoint long, long ago, and charged the bitch with Contempt. Printing out 50,000 emails? She should have been behind bars an hour after those reams of paper were submitted.
This whole drama is utter bullsh#t.
Could this photo from the story have any more parallels to a well known show about two orange clad prison lesbian's, one blonde, entitled, the other a dark haired sociopath. Someone at that paper has a sense of humor
