Complete Headline: State Department covered up Hillary's private email server for years even though 'dozens of senior officials' knew about it, says scathing inspector general report

The U.S. State Department told a watchdog group in 2013 that it didn't have any information about former secretary Hillary Clinton's emails, even though 'dozens of senior officials' knew she was using a private server for all her electronic communications.

A report released Thursday by the agency's inspector general - a powerful and impartial internal investigator - described a cavalier culture about transparency inside Clinton's agency, saying that 177 requests for documents about Clinton are still 'pending' nearly three years after she left office.

The Freedom of Information Act requires federal agencies to respond to requests for information within 20 business days.

The botched FOIA request, filed in December 2012 just before Clinton left office, specifically asked whether or not Clinton used an email account other than one hosted at state.gov.

Thousands upon thousands of emails sent to and received from the US SecState at clintonemail.com rather than state.gov? And no one noticed? Of course they all knew about it.

Hilary’s MO has always been to get so many people in on her crimes that it becomes impossible to get past all the vested interests to reach or stop her. Blackmail is her essence.

“...even though many senior officials were emailing her on her private server...”

I want to know if any of these senior/career State Department officials were the ones putting classified information into the unclassified system. They of all people should know better, no matter what that evil bitch Hillary told them to do.

This, coming out in the Daily Mail (UK)

Obama first finds out about it through the news.

Everyone who knew this broke the law and compromised national security. They should be indicted ad prosecuted.

Very disturbing. If the career bureaucrats are part of the cover-up, trust in our government sinks even further. The IRS scandal is another example. If the FBI doesn’t recommend criminal prosecution of Hillary, then it will show how corrupt our government has become.

I think we’re going to have to begin relying on foreign media more, especially since our own seems content to play the role of co-conspirator.

Selling foreign governments access to classified emails EASY way to riches.

Hillary’s server could never be certified to handle classified information. Anyone who uses classified government computer systems has to know this as it is included in annual security training for which you must sign your life away to get access. She signed, they all signed...they are all guilty if anything confidential or higher was sent on an unclassified computer.

Hillary probably ready (again) that she had no idea -she’s a victim. I think Comey won’t do a thing. He would have already if he was.

Are these "dozens" still serving as senior officials at the State Department?

The Freedom of Information Act requires federal agencies to respond to requests for information within 20 business days.

So, are there any penalties for not responding?

Why are these senior officials still senior officials?

Beuller?

Anyone?

I know, I was in that line of work for a long time. I’m just curious if regular/career gov’t employees were in on it, or it was just those in thrall to Hillary that were doing it.

If I remember correctly, the office of inspector general was left vacant (with Obama’s obvious connivance) during the whole time Hillary was Secretary of State. Convenient.
