Ever wonder why multiple investigations of the Benghazi attack failed to turn up much from Hillary Clinton’s e-mails? So did the House Select Committee investigating the attack on the facility and the failures that led to it. To their surprise, the Secretary of State had conducted all of her e-mail on a private account rather than an official State Department account — and her aides had carefully culled only the e-mails they wanted investigators to see. The New York Times’ Michael Schmidt dropped that bombshell earlier this evening:
Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record.
Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act. …
The existence of Mrs. Clinton’s personal email account was discovered as a House committee investigating the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi sought correspondence between Mrs. Clinton and her aides about the attack.
Two weeks ago, Mrs. Clinton provided the committee with about 300 emails — amounting to roughly 900 pages — about the Benghazi attacks that Mrs. Clinton’s aides had found among her personal emails.
Federal law requires government officials to conduct business communications on official media, for lots of good reasons. First, it allows for archival without the officials in question having an opportunity to “sanitize” the record. Second — and this is pretty important for the diplomatic corps — it allows the government to protect against intrusion from other nations and entities. Hillary’s practice of doing business through private servers bypassed both of those key protections.
I’m pretty sure this is criminal.
What a maroon.
That, alone, is a felony.
Hillary only took the job as Secretary of State to solicit money for the Clinton Foundation ,so you can’t use the Government one
WOW, and it took to now to discover this!
No subordinate had questions about this?
Growing up, something I heard about a million times was, "HOW could ordinary Germans do nothing, as the machinery of the Holocaust spooled up, so gradually...?!"
In fact that question is very stupid because WE ARE LIVING OUT THE PROCESS OF HOW THAT HAPPENED.
It really, really seems like that same obedient propensity to ASK NO QUESTIONS is in full gear here, today, in the USA.
I don't see any difference.
Times working for Warren..
“I’m pretty sure this is criminal.”
Only if your name has an R after it
A felony SO BALD, so clear, from one who next month will announce for the PRESIDENCY..???
This is standard operating procedure throughout the Obama administration.
If this happened in a Republican administration, it would be a monster. It would consume everything, starting with everything done in foreign policy during the tenure of the tainted Secretary of State.
With this bunch though, it’s “what difference does it make?”
Another Clinton criminal enterprise — just add it to the list.
She is so stupid she doesn’t have a clue as to how to switch over to a personal account. ASK HER!! She will dissemble!!
That’s what I was thinking.
I’m betting she had a computer crash.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Massive security violations. Were staff sending classified and sensitive information to her private email account??? If yes, they are in trouble, too.
I’m predicting she will have another well-timed crash at the top of the steps juuuust before her promised testimony in Gowdys Committee
It just gets worse and worse.
Astonishing.
.
But who cares about such trivia? Hillary "cares" and is female, so she'll probably be our next President.
