Specific correspondence that escaped public scrutiny after the former Secretary of State decided to communicate through a private account.
Hillary Clinton supporters have defended her use of a private email account to conduct official State Department business by arguing that she emailed colleagues at their government addresses, ensuring that a copy of the correspondence would be retained on government servers and available to archivists. As it turns out, some aides to Hillary Clinton also used private email addresses. But even if Team Hillary's initial claim had held together, it wouldn't matter. Public records laws encompass not just correspondence with other government employees but also emails with third parties about government business.

“”No record of any kind would be found if her email account was used as a depository for email drafts that could be accessed by others but were never sent.””
I find that interesting because I’ve read novels where someone puts something in “draft” and someone else accesses it and edits or just sends it on - or as in a case of the spy novels, a way to transmit info or messages with no one the wiser. How does it work? Two people have to be using the same email to be able to access the draft???? Sounds like a neat practice....
Ask Gen. Patreus
“”Ask Gen. Patreus””
Would love to but I don’t have his phone number. Seriously, is that what he did?
On second thought, my impression of him went way down after Benghazi so I wouldn’t trust anything he said anyway. I wouldn’t doubt that a lot of the emails that show up (IF EVER) of Hillary’s, are to and from him. I think it was Timmerman who wrote that they were drinking buddies and that was AFTER she gave him such a pummeling in that congressional hearing.....Betray Us - about the surge in Iraq, I believe.
Yep, that’s what they did, yes you both share an account but never send an email.
It makes sense if you are sharing access to an email account with other people. Each of those other people shares access to one of the 22 (or maybe more) email accounts along with Hillary. That way Hillary and one person can leave unsent drafts in a folder which only those two have access to. Hillary and a second person could use the same procedure with a different email address only those two access.
Criminal enterprises use this method of communicating.
“”Yep, thats what they did, yes you both share an account but never send an email.””
Than I wouldn’t be very good at it as I’ve never figured out to put an email that I’ve written in “draft”. I’ve used AOL before and there is a “draft” tab but things ended up there that I didn’t put there. It just took awhile for it to go out and then it would go to “sent”. I use Windows Live Mail and there’s no draft tab there.
I’ll never make it as a spy....
It also means that Hillary could have 21 other email accounts. Such as: hdr21@contonemail.com and hdr20@clintonemail.com. I am surmising that because of the way Road Runner assigns email addresses with numbers after the name that are not of the client’s choice, depending on how many other customers they have with the same initials, or combination of first initial and last name.
The Benghazi Committee should ask for ALL of the email addresses and for the actual servers, as well.
Just as I thought! There are many email addresses at clintonemail.com. Supoena them ALL!
They could subpoena until the cows come home, but if those email addresses were basically just “drop boxes” for email drafts that were read but never sent, they won’t find anything.
