(Washington, DC ) – Judicial Watch announced that the State Department asserts in its most recent filing with the court the State Department did not issue personal computing devices to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and possibly destroyed the Blackberries of her aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills:
[The State Department] does not believe that any personal computing device was issued by the Department to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and has not located any such device at the Department. [The State Department] believes that Ms. Mills and Ms. Abedin were each issued BlackBerry devices. [The State Department] has not located any such device at the Department … Because the devices issued to Ms. Mills and Ms. Abedin would have been outdated models, in accordance with standard operating procedures those devices would have been destroyed or excessed.
State did identify the “state.gov” email accounts of Mills, Abedin and two other former officials, but stated that Clinton “did not use a state.gov account.”
The filing follows the recent court order granting Judicial Watch’s request for a hearing this week, on Thursday, August 20, 2015 at 12:00 p.m., which had previously been scheduled for September. State recently sought a one-week extension from the court, and the judge denied it (the court changed the time of the hearing to 1 p.m.)
“The questions just keep popping up. Every time the State Department tries to justify its stonewalling, one more bit of information arises,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “If the State Department was not providing secure email devices to Mrs. Clinton, who was? Best Buy? Target? Mrs. Clinton clearly did whatever she wanted, without regard to national security or federal records keeping laws.”
The developments come in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, the former Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)). The lawsuit was reopened because of revelations about Hillary Clinton’s email records.
This goes beyond incompetence.
Because she told them she didnt want a secure one.
You said it.
This gets more fun by the day.
Yep, State has stonewalled because they’ve known this all along.
Can you just imagine the Russian FSB watching Hillary and Huma playing “Words with Friends” in real time? This whole thing is scary, but that scene would be funny.
Planned espionage?
What did the WH know and when did they order it?
I’m sure the Russkies have every one one of Hills missing emails.
This administration is a sick effing joke. In the real world they’d all be fired!
every WH reporter should stand up and ask this question in every WH news conference, from now until these questions are answered (or obama resigns).
My point exactly.
Guccifer saved them to CLOUD. Said from beginning he would give to US authority when it’s the right time. (Hill won’t know whether it’s before or after her testimony )
Destroying a country from within involves ERASING OUR BORDERS AND EXPOSING ALL SENSITIVE INFORMATION WHICH MAKES US A SUPERPOWER.
We have pictures of Hillary conduction official State Dept business in her capacity as secretary of State.
She is using a Black Berry communicate.
She was not issued a secure government issue Black Berry to communicate with.
The only other option is she was using a totally unsecured, personal cell phone to conduct business as Sec of State.
High level security government officials, and the Sec of State and Sec of Defense are the two most high level security positions in government, use secure, scrambled and encrypted communications for official duties because they have to because they are the highest level targets for espionage.
Hillary uniquely mixed diplomatic and military secrets in conduct of her private, shadow government wars in Egypt, Libya and Syria
Remember the huge public controversy at the start of the Obama Admin when Obama refused to give up his Black Berry and was forced to compromise and use a government issue secure Black Berry?
No way can Hillary play dumb on this one.
EVERY email and phone call this reckless, irresponsible moron placed has been intercepted and hacked
Our national security and espionage agencies must be going crazy right now try to figure out how badly Hillary has compromised their operations and calculating the damage she has done.
If the NSA has intercepts, they have no choice but to circulate them to help clean this mess up.
This went beyond incompetence many, many moons ago.
Hillary and Huma playing “Words with Friends” in real time?
More like playing Hillary and Huma playing house
“If the State Department was not providing secure email devices to Mrs. Clinton, who was? Best Buy? Target? Mrs. Clinton clearly did whatever she wanted, without regard to national security or federal records keeping laws.”
Smells of a set-up, here is a nice new Blackberry for your very own private use.....except that all traffic flowed through a private server....
