White House and State Dept.'were alerted about Hillary Clinton's private emails SIX months ago'
Daily Mail ^ | March 7, 2015 | Kelly Mclaughlin and Francesca Chambers

Posted on 03/06/2015 11:11:09 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

The White House, State Department and Hillary Clinton's personal office new in August 2014 that the former Secretary of State was using a private email account to conduct official government business.

Clinton's staff, who knew that House Republicans had received information from the private email address, made the decision to keep the information from the public.

The staff waited until after the New York Times published an article on Tuesday about the subject to discuss the email address.

Key people from the Obama Administration and on Clinton's staff were aware of the address for six months, sources said, according to Politico.

And, it is possible that Clinton distributed sensitive information through her personal email, the State Department has admitted, and only a review of her messages will determine if she broke the rules.

The State Department first became aware of the email address when responding to a request form the House Select Committee during the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the US consulate based in the Libyan city of Benghazi.

When State and White House officials noticed Clinton's private email address on documents, they notified her personal staff and said they should take lead, since she was no longer on staff in government. ....

So no one noticed it was a private email system they were interacting with during her four year SoS tenure? No one noticed the email headers? The President got no intelligence security briefing on the matter, because NSA was clueless?

These aren’t even decent lies. They’re not even trying.

So when they were searching her E-mails during the Benghazi investigation were they searching her .Gov E-mail , or her private E-mail?

Maybe, just maybe, Obama knew all along and has waited until this moment to DESTROY the Clintons so that the Obamas are the DEMOCRAT ROYAL FAMILY from now on!!!

With the disclosure of the Clinton Foundation ILLEGAL donations from FOREIGN COUNTRIES and now these ILLEGAL e-mails, they can get rid of ALL the Clintons...even Chelsea.

This 24 hour 7 days a week media frenzy concerning Hillary's email scandal: I couldn't help but think how lightly the media treated the background investigation of presidential candidate community organizer Obama in comparison.

For instance, if the media like FoxNews tv hosts Hannity, O'Reilly, Megan Kelly, and Greta had put as much time and effort in questioning and pressuring candidate Obama to release his birth hospital records, his Social Security card, his Selective Service application, and his Occidental College and Columbia records as they have in questioning Hillary about her email scandal, I believe that Obama would have ended up lying about his background under all that pressure, and, as a result, he would not have been elected president, because the American voters would have quickly come to realize what a liar candidate Obama really was.

Way to go Hannity, O'Reilly, Greta, and Kelly. Your incompetence and cowardice in refusing to put continuous pressure on candidate Obama to reveal details about his past were key reasons why Obama was elected president not once but TWICE.

Let's look at how Hannity handled his botched investigation of candidate Obama's background. I watch Hannity. I don't always agree with what he has to say, but I find his show interesting.

1. Hannity Townhall meetings: Hannity has these so-called townhall meetings. most of them are alright, but sometimes he holds townhall meetings on strange topics. For instance, one townhall meeting I found strange was the one about Spring Break problems in Florida.

2. Trips to other parts of the United States and to Israel: He went to Texas to see the illegal immigration problem first hand at the border. He also went to Israel to see the secret Arab tunnels for himself.

3. My point is this: If Hannity can go to Texas and to Israel to investigate important stories, then why couldn't he go to Hawaii---where Obama was supposedly born and spent most of his childhood----in search of the real Obama if, as Hannity claims, he was serious about keeping Obama out of the presidency?

4. Think about this: Hannity has NEVER gone to Hawaii and held townhall meetings to find out what people in Hawaii, especially Obama' s Hawaiian friends, could tell him about the real Obama as he grew up in Hawaii. Why won't Hannity go to Hawaii if he really wants to expose Obama as a liar? I don't understand.

5. For instance, Hannity could ask Obama's Hawaiian friends at the townhall meetings if they saw Obama in Hawaii during the summer of 1980 after his freshman year at Occidental. Why should Hannity ask Obama's friends such a question? The reason is this: That was the summer Obama supposedly signed his Selective Service form in Hawaii. However, if none of his friends recalls seeing Obama in Hawaii that summer, it means that Obama was not the one who signed the Selective Service form in Hawaii in July 1980, because Obama must have been in California the entire summer.

6. Also, Hannity could ask Obama's friends if Obama ever presented himself as a foreign student, or if Obama ever went by the name of Soetoro, the name of his Indonesian stepfather.

And he could take us on a tour of Obama's supposedly birth hospital and maybe look in Obama's mother hospital room. He could show us the apartment where Obama lived and the schools that Obama attended.

7. Again. Shame on you Foxnews tv people Hannity, O'Reilly, Greta, and Kelly. If you had made the same special effort in researching candidate Obama's lies about his background as you have put in researching Hillary's present email scandal, Obama might not be president today.

I have no doubt that if the lid was removed from the pot, we would see SEVERAL private email systems within the gubmint. Noting those crooked bastards do would surprise me. Now that the lid HAS BEEN removed, I count the days until more begin to surface.

What Hitlary did is a “federal crime”, the question is, who is going to prosecute her? Certainly not a demodummie.

I don’t agree that FNC gave Obama a pass. Not at all. But FNC is preaching to the choir.

If you’re going to cast blame, cast it on the MSM, not FNC.

Personally, I don’t believe it would have mattered. People were going to vote for Obama no matter what. White guilt.

Exactly! When the Dem led Benghazi investigations went looking for Hillary’s emails and found nothing under a state.gov account did nobody ask, where are her emails? They knew about it then and did nothing.

If Clinton has her own private server and e-mail account, rest assured that Obama and every other cabinet official have their own as well. There’s the .gov account for the National Archives and the great unwashed American rubes to view and then there’s the shadow lines of communication where the real work gets done by.

Hacker Begins Distributing Confidential Memos Sent To Hillary Clinton On Libya, Benghazi Attack

Armed with confidential memos to Hillary Clinton that were stolen from the e-mail account of a former White House aide, a hacker has distributed some of the documents to a wide array of congressional aides, political figures, and journalists worldwide.

(snip)

Most of the e-mail recipients were sent four separate memos that were e-mailed to Clinton by Blumenthal during the past five months. Each memo dealt with assorted developments in Libya, including the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi. One memo marked “Confidential” was sent to Clinton on September 12.

Blumenthal’s memos and e-mails to Clinton were sent to her at a non-governmental e-mail address through the web domain “clintonemail.com.”

So when they were searching her E-mails during the Benghazi investigation were they searching her Gov E-mail, or her private E-mail?

Good question.

FOX NEWS REPORTED--Emails obtained through a Judicial Watch FOIA federal lawsuit show that two top aides to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were running interference internally during the 2012 Benghazi terror attack.

The aides were Philippe Reines, widely described as Clinton’s principal gate-keeper, and Cheryl Mills, who has been at Clinton's side for decades. The emails show that while receiving updates about the assault as it happened, Mills told then-State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland to stop answering reporter questions about the status of Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was missing and later found dead. (Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com

Judicial Watch article of February 2009: "Cheryl Mills was also one of three Clinton White House lawyers who recommended Bill Clinton release the private letters of Kathleen Willey, in violation of the Privacy Act. Thanks to Judicial Watch’s legal efforts in this case, Bill Clinton was the first sitting president to be found to have committed a crime by a federal court when he authorized the release of letters written to him by Ms. Willey, whom the former president sexually assaulted in the Oval Office.

(Cheryl Mills was one of the lawyers who defended Bill Clinton’s perjury and obstruction of justice in the failed Senate trial to remove the impeached president.)

.....littered throughout the State Department emails (obtained under FOIA) are references to a so-called "Benghazi Group" ....code inside the State Dept for the so-called "Cheryl Mills task force".......whose job was damage control.

Cheryl Mills is human bug spray ---- aiming deadly chemicals at anyone who attempts to catch the Clintons scurrying to cover their ***es.

The Clintons have the survival instincts of a cockroach---once they infest your domain---its almost impossible to get rid of them.

WATCHING THE CLINTONS OPERATE IS A LESSON IN WHAT BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS CALL "NARCISSTIC IMMUNITY"--- They operate under the mantle of "narcisstic immunity"---that they are so good-hearted, so tolerant and compassionate. so astute, nothing can touch them.

The Clintons have the survival instincts of a cockroach---once they infest your domain---its almost impossible to get rid of them. Every move they make is laser-focused on political "survival".

Numerous IT guys in numerous branches of government knew about it and had to be in on it from the start. Start by sending little fish to jail.

But......

Obama says he only learned of Hillary Clinton’s private email address use for official State Department business from the news.
