A long-time Hillary Clinton supporter who heads the nation’s second largest teachers’ union says she was aware of the former Secretary of State’s personal email address before the New York Times reported its existence two weeks ago.
Randi Weingarten, a donor to Clinton’s previous presidential run and to the Super PAC backing her likely 2016 bid, said on Twitter over the weekend that the existence of the email account was not “secret.”
Asked if she was aware of the personal email account, hdr22@clintonemail.com, before the Times published its scoop, Weingarten gave a one-word reply: “yes.”
Weingarten did not respond to emailed follow-up questions, making it difficult to know whether she had personally emailed Clinton or whether they discussed official business or personal matters.
However, her admission suggests that Clinton allies were aware of her use of a personal email address—run on a custom, self-hosted web domain—even as the State Department stonewalled reporters and congressional investigators seeking Clinton’s emails.
State’s refusal to turn over those emails has resulted in two lawsuits by news organizations, additional legal action by conservative groups, and a subpoena from a select House committee investigating the 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi.
Investigators involved in the latter effort first requested emails to and from Clinton a week after the attack took place. More than a year and a half later, State turned over a number of documents—but no emails to or from Clinton.

Yeah, Hillary Clinton’s personal email address was, like, totally public. Sure. I emailed her all of the time. You bet.

I thought her email was “thebeast@clintonemail.com“
There were 60,000 emails. I suppose alot of people knew about it.

Whole populations knew about the private email addresses, but not necessarily that ALL State business conducted by Hillary Clinton was routed through private addresses. THAT is the issue.
This confirms my suspicion that this was an open secret in Washington. The only reason it came out is that Jarrett told the Old Media it was time for them to run wit the story.
No biggy, Randi was just a member of Hillary’s yoga class.
She knew this because Hillary was organizing with the Teachers Union for donations on Gov time.
Donations with Arab blood dripping off the edges... "Here Hillary - here's the cash for your 'foundation'... sorry about the blood on the bills, but we were stoning a 13 year old - little whore kissed her boyfriend."
