Hillary’s email account an open secret in Washington long before scandal broke
The Washington Times ^ | February 28, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

Hundreds of people — from White House officials and titans of the mainstream media to senators, Supreme Court justices and many of her top colleagues at the State Department — could have known about Hillary Clinton’s secret email account, if only they’d cared to look closely enough.

Listed on some of the more than 28,000 messages Mrs. Clinton released so far are several White House chiefs of staff and a former director of the Office of Management and Budget, much of the rest of official Washington, and a number of people who had oversight of the State Department’s key operations and open-records obligations. President Obama was also on a series of messages, though the government is withholding those.

But just how widely disseminated Mrs. Clinton’s address was became clear in a single 2011 message from Anne-Marie Slaughter, who appeared to include Mrs. Clinton on a message alongside Supreme Court Justices Stephen G. Breyer and Elena Kagan, reporters Jeffrey Toobin, David Brooks, Fred Hiatt and Evan Thomas, CIA Director David H. Petraeus, top Obama aide Benjamin Rhodes and former White House counsel Gregory Craig.

Computer specialists said they would have had to know what they were looking for to spot Mrs. Clinton’s address, but it was there for anyone who did look — raising questions about how her unique arrangement remained secret for so long. It came to the public’s attention when news broke in March 2015 in The New York Times — after it was uncovered by a congressional investigation into the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack.

The State Department has since acknowledged that it did not search Mrs. Clinton’s messages in response to open-records requests filed under federal law, and federal District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan is prodding the department about how the situation got so out of hand.

Trump will certainly HAVE SOME FUN with this...

Hillary will find life a LOT DIFFERENT in the federal penal system, as opposed to giving speeches on Wall Street.

Yeah, there was nothing ‘secret’ about it. It’s just that no none likely noticed or cared. Remember, this administration is filled with little libtard children.

It wasn't much of a secret e-mail account if so many people in Washington, DC knew of it. Then there were the hackers and foreign intelligence agencies. The people who got burned were the professional agencies whose secrets Hillary was leaking or selling to the highest bidder. That's what the Clinton Foundation was supposed to do — launder dirty money for the Clinton Crime Family of Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea. The Clintons should be indicted under RICO laws as well as the compromise of classified information to America's enemies.

Right on, and I suspect she'll remain that way...sincerely hope I'm wrong.

That's an interesting list.

Not going to matter. Trump is going to lose to her in a landslide, and this matter will disappear forever.

(apologies if this is a little off topic,
but I want to ask a question, and I don’t
think it deserves its own thread)

Is Hillary and her subordinates,
acting in good faith, toward their former employer,
the US State Dept.?
example, my understanding is, Cheryl Mills,
HRC’s friend, associate and subordinate,
is/was not cooperating with the State Dept’s IG.
How exactly is Hillary allowed to run for president
when one of her employees is in an adversarial
relationship with the US.

Please be as specific as you can be.
Please don’t say the Hillary is a
liar and a PoS, I already know that.

thanks
Rocky

It’s not just Hillary and Cheryl Mills, it’s also Huma Abedin and a couple other Clinton toadies.

In my view they had their own thing going for them for personal gain.
