housands of emails Hillary Clinton generated as secretary of state were not archived as official government records because she used a private email account to conduct State Department business, the State Department acknowledged Monday.
Aides to the former secretary of state turned over 55,000 pages of emails from her personal account to the State Department in December at its request, a department official said.
Clintons use of the personal account for work-related emails and the State Departments effort to gain control over the information were first reported by The New York Times. Clinton did not use a State Department email account, the paper reported.
Last year, the Department sent a letter to representatives of former secretaries of state requesting they submit any records in their possession for proper preservation. In response to our request, Secretary Clinton provided the Department with emails spanning her time at the Department, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.
The Times story suggested that the private email trove came to light as the State Department worked to respond to requests for information from a special House committee probing the deaths of four Americans in a 2012 attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
However, a State Department official who asked not to be named said Monday night that the request to Clinton and other former secretaries took place in October of last year and was independent of any inquiries from the Benghazi panel.
Psaki did acknowledge that the set of emails Clinton aides gave to the department recently contained some records relevant to the Benghazi committees document demands.
After the State Department reviewed [Clintons] emails, we produced about 300 e-mails responsive to recent requests from the Select Committee on Benghazi, Psaki said.

Jail time for the mere Federal Employees. She gets a pass.
One more ping.
Same tactic used by Lois Lerner. Clinton needs to be investigated
Three hundred? In four years?
Where are the rest? Did her “hard drive” crash?
Oh, I get it. Democrats can break the law and nothing happens.
For liberals the law is a mere suggestion.
Hitlarys stonewalling an investigation should drag this out past November 2016. :)
Sexting between Hillary and Huma is nobodies business.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Next the MSM will try to claim that Republicans did this too.
When that argument falls apart, they'll start running stories about how a certain amount of personal use of federal assets is OK, at least for important people like Hillary Clinton.
The game plan seems to be that the "choice" for pres will be Jeb (or suitable globalist replacement) vs hillary. If the 'pub leadership weren't complicit in this scheme, hillary would be so tied up in court that she wouldn't have time to run for president.
You just can't do things that are part of the public record in your private accounts. How many laws was she breaking?

Gross.
Gross is right!
You beat me to it. No pictures please, on this thread.

‘...What matters is Irans actions, not its words, she went on to stress, noting that inspectors from the UNs International Atomic Energy Agency have daily access to Irans nuclear sites. ’
Even the NYT doesn't really agree with that statement -
Liberals only see this as “Republicans attacking” their sainted Hillary. Because libs don’t grasp the concept of national security, their little brains aren’t wired to understand why the use of unsecured private email is a violation of federal law and a major security breach.
Move along...when democrats break the law...it’s merely a misunderstanding of the rules...
I’m sure PIAPS will never do it again...
