Obama’s Conflict Tanked the Clinton E-mail Investigation — As Predicted
National Review ^ | September 26, 2016 | ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Posted on 08/18/2023 10:54:19 PM PDT by TBP

Hillary couldn’t be proven guilty without proving the president guilty as well.

"How is this not classified?”

So exclaimed Hillary Clinton’s close aide and confidante, Huma Abedin. The FBI had just shown her an old e-mail exchange, over Clinton’s private account, between the then-secretary of state and a second person, whose name Abedin did not recognize. The FBI then did what the FBI is never supposed to do: The agents informed their interviewee (Abedin) of the identity of the second person. It was the president of the United States, Barack Obama, using a pseudonym to conduct communications over a non-secure e-mail system — something anyone with a high-level security clearance, such as Huma Abedin, would instantly realize was a major breach.

Abedin was sufficiently stunned that, for just a moment, the bottomless capacity of Clinton insiders to keep cool in a scandal was overcome. “How is this not classified?”

She recovered quickly enough, though. The FBI records that the next thing Abedin did, after “express[ing] her amazement at the president’s use of a pseudonym,” was to “ask if she could have a copy of the email.”

Abedin knew an insurance policy when she saw one. If Obama himself had been e-mailing over a non-government, non-secure system, then everyone else who had been doing it had a get-out-of-jail-free card.

In light of the exposure of Joe Biden using two email aliases to communicate with Russians, Burisma, and others, I was reminded of Obama's use of an alias to communicate with Hillary on her private server, which saved Hitlery and her associates from any chance of being prosecuted. Is that where Joey got hte idea?

0bungwad will unavoidably get sucked into the vortex as Joetato is flushed down the drain.

Such is the fate of a floater.

from your comment - “In light of the exposure of Joe Biden using two email aliases” -

it was at least three aliases, not two.

‘Robin Ware,’ ‘Robert L. Peters’ and ‘JRB ware’ were three pseudonyms used on emails that were about both official and family business...

20 July 2021: JustTheNews: Shades of Clinton: Joe Biden used private email to send government information to Hunter
by John Solomon
A former senior Obama administration official confirmed to Just the News that some administration officials knew of the robinware456@gmail.com email address for Joe Biden and used it from time to time. “I saw it used to communicate with his family and friends or to pass information to them,” the official told Just the News, speaking only on condition of anonymity because of fear of reprisal.

The emails obtained by Just the News show numerous Obama administration officials communicated or were aware of the private email address or had their information sent to it, including current Secretary of State Tony Blinken.

In January 2013, Blinken emailed Joe Biden at his private email recounting a colleague’s conversation about the Pulitzer-winning journalist, author and screenwriter Richard Ben Cramer’s last minutes before dying. At the time, Blinken was Joe Biden’s national security adviser...

On another occasion in June 2014, Hunter Biden suggested someone he wanted to see appointed as a detailee to the Treasury Department. “Before you fill the positions, pls talk to me,” Hunter Biden wrote his father.
The vice president responded, “Call me right away, Dad.”...

Thanks for posting this 2016 essay.

In 2016, Andrew McCarthy, the author, was the only reason I still read National Review.

Tragically, for the last seven years, McCarthy has moved slowly but surely to the Left, and specifically Left on the subject of Donald Trump.

Humorously, just six weeks after this article appeared, Trump shocked the world by winning the 2016 election.

In January 2016, National Review had infamously dedicated an entire magazine issue to "Conservatives Against Trump."

No wonder why her private server and 30,000 e-mails and other equipment were destroyed.
