CBS NEWS March 14, 2015 GOP to Clinton: Hand Over Your Email Server

Republicans are casting a wider net in their investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email address during her time as secretary of state.

In the GOP's weekly address Saturday, Indiana Rep. Susan Brooks, who is a member of the House Select Committee in charge of scrutinizing the events leading up to the 2012 attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, is calling for Clinton to pass on the actual email server that hosted her private address, rather than just copies of the relevant electronic messages.

"Right now there is no way for us to know whether we have all of the State Department communications that rightfully belong to the American people. The only way to truly know is by having access to Secretary Clinton's personal server," Brooks said in a new video. "That is why we are asking Secretary Clinton to turn her server over to a neutral, third-party arbiter."

Citing the need for the surveyor to be "completely impartial and independent," Brooks also called on a third party to sift through the thousands of pages accumulated over Clinton's tenure in President Obama's Cabinet.

The con artists Clintons created the ultimate scam: The Clinton Foundation! .... a slush fund as a "foundation."........or as some uncharitably call it "Hillary's Super-Pac."

The Clintons' controls its officers. Each Clinton family member can be listed as an officer in some capacity. They then get all sorts of tax-free perks..... flying around in private planes, staying in upscale hotels. Thus a significant portion of their real income is shielded from taxes.

The Clintons work the foundation game like an extortion racket.....strong-arming donors and giving them special standing courtesy of their public offices. For Bill Clinton, pretty much every conversation he has can be chalked up to "foundation business"...and written off as "Charity."

"Smile everybody. Another $100 million came in today."

I think you are on the right track. I'm not an expert, but I would say this:

1. The NSA knows all. If the House wants the email, they can just ask the NSA. It's probably easiest if Hillary's email was a .gov address, but it may not have been. It could have been a .com address. Still, the NSA can probably hand it over if they were inclined.

2. The ISP probably has records which could be subpoenaed.

3. If she used a Blackberry, all the records are available from RIM. Apple is better about confidentiality, so I'm not sure if the iPhone device will give up its secrets. But I'm also not sure Hillary had an iPhone. I think she has claimed that she did not.

4. Your last point is an important one. If an individual has access to classified documents, they MIGHT be able to say with confidence "I never sent a classified document to anyone." OK, fine. But that individual has NO CONTROL over what other people have sent to them. The Secretary of State receives classified documents through email. That's just a lead pipe cinch. No two ways about it. Therefore, classified documents came into Hillary's private email server. It's ridiculous to say that didn't happen.

Oh, something else about classified information --

One the one hand, a document might say, "The nuclear access codes to the B-52s is 1-2-3-4-5-6." That would be classified information.

On the other hand, you might say "The B-52s have nuclear access code in accordance with Jupiter protocols." That's not necessarily classified, because it doesn't tell you anything.

Likewise, you might say, "Jupiter protocols include access codes of 1-2-3-4-5-6." Again, this might not really be classified, because it's not useful.

But put those two unclassified bits together, and you have something classified. That's the way this stuff works. Aggregates can create something classified.

Email received by the Secretary of State is going to allow a lot of pieces to be put together, and will reveal a lot of secrets. It's not so much what she controlled and sent -- it's what she received on the server which creates the vulnerability and the security breach,
