Valerie Jarrett: WH Issued ‘Guidance’ to Clinton Recommending She Use Official Email
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 9/30/15 | Blake Seitz

White House Chief of Staff Valerie Jarrett admitted Wednesday that the White House had issued guidance to cabinet secretaries recommending they use government email for official business—guidance that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ultimately ignored.

“Weren’t there guidelines from the White House to all cabinet secretaries to use government email?” MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell asked Jarrett at an event sponsored by the Aspen Institute.

“Well, yes there were. Yeah, absolutely,” Jarrett said.

“Obviously, we want to make sure we preserve all government records, so there was guidance given that government business should be done on government emails and that if you did use a private email it should be turned over,” Jarrett said.

Jarrett then offered a partial defense of Clinton’s behavior.

“She’s working hard to comply with making sure everything is pursuant to the Federal Records Act,” Jarrett said.

Clinton did not turn over emails from her private account until December 2014, two years after her tenure as secretary of state concluded and two months after the State Department sent her a letter asking for her emails.

When Clinton did turn over her emails, she did so at the request of the State Department, not on her own initiative—and only after permanently (or rather, “permanently”) deleting tens of thousands of emails from the private server.

The State Department received 55,000 pages of emails from Clinton. The emails were printed hard copies that were not digitally searchable, a lawyerly move many think was an attempt to stymie investigators and Freedom of Information Act requests.

The Clinton camp maintained control of Clinton’s private server until it was seized by the FBI as part of an ongoing investigation into the classified information on Clinton’s server.

The knives sharpen...

This so creates distance since there are known emails from WH.gov email accounts.

Apparently no one in the admin paid any attention to that memo because it seems like they all use their own email accounts. But this is coming from VJ, who probably has her own server linked to Iran, China and Russia.

This was an Obama/Jarrett setup from day one to take down Hill in 2016. I can’t say I don’t enjoy seeing Hillary (and Bill) knocked around by them one more time. Only problem is, they are worse.

Why didn’t they relieve her of duty and have her arrested for non compliance? Probably because they just made this new story up.

Jarrett was not under oath so she did not have to spill the beans to Mitchell.
