FLASHBACK: David Axelrod didn't know about Hillary's private server (lying with practiced ease)

At the time he was Obama's WH advisor (and chief political strategist), David Axelrod said he was unaware Hillary conducted official State Dept business from an unauthorized, private server. But emails released Tuesday evening by the State Dept include his request for Hillary's private email address--and suggest he had every reason to know and raises questions about what else he knew.

Asked last month in an interview whether he knew anything about Clinton's "homebrew" system when they worked together in the Obama administration, Axelrod responded, "I didn't know."

However, correspondences from 2009 show that Axelrod may have had reason to know about Clinton's questionable email behavior. While it's possible Axelrod may not have been aware that Clinton was using a private server, he contacted her at least once with a "get better" note at one of her private email addresses.

Evidence begins with an email from Clinton's chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, dated June 8, 2009: "Axelrod wants your email – remind me to discuss with you if I forget," Mills wrote. Clinton responded that same day, writing, "Can you send to him or do you want me to? Does he know I can't look at it all day so he needs to contact me thru you or Huma or Lauren during work hours."

Axelrod served as President Obama's senior adviser from 2009 to 2011. Clinton worked at the State Department from 2009 to 2013. During the entire time that she served at Foggy Bottom, she never once sent an official email bearing the standard @state.gov address.

Rather, she used a variety personalized email addresses, including hdr22@clintonemail.com and hrod17@clintonemail.com

Axelrod said in June that he would've have "asked questions" had he known about Clinton's questionable email behavior. "I was there, I was the senior adviser. I didn't know that," Axelrod said in an interview on MSNBC, referring specifically to her private server. "I might have asked a few questions about it."

NOTE: An AP report says senior Obama administration officials, including the White House chief of staff, knew as early as 2009 that Hillary Rodham Clinton was using a private email address for her government correspondence, according to some 3,000 pages of correspondence released by the State Department late Tuesday night Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, requested Clinton's email address on Sept. 5, 2009, according to one email. His request came three months after top Obama strategist David Axelrod asked the same question of one of Clinton's top aides (Excerpt) Read more at bigstory.ap.org ...

Liz, you do a great service on this issue. I think the issue needs to go further back in history. Is the system itself illegal? Does it violate official protocol? Does the Clinton Foundation actually own(paid for) the email server?

Hillary needs to be charged. They are never going to release all the information. It will be years before anyone ever knows exactly what the Clinton Griffters did. GOPe has no intention of going after Hillary. They have bent over backwards to avoid the entire email situation. Regardless of the Criminal Espionage involved. Obama will never let Hillary be charged. He is in this up to his neck and has his own Foundations already in place to siphon off money when Hillary gets in office.

True---all true. But there's other ways to nail these Clinton scammers:

The Foundation powerhouse accountants failed in their fiduciary duties to detect and report the Clintons Foundation’s “apparent massive diversions of funds” from a global charity that fights HIV/AIDS, according to respected Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel....more at wnd.com ...

THERE'S MAIL FRAUD Raising money for a specific cause that was diverted elsewhere is considered mail fraud.

....WND reported on Ortel’s six-month investigation: indicated the Clintons diverted tens millions of dollars that they solicited for charitable purposes to the personal enrichment of themselves and their close associates.......

If the FBI, DOJ and IRS won't shape up to nab the conniving Clintons---there's always the US Postal Inspector....many crooks have been locked for using similar scams.

======================================================

THERE'S CONSPIRACY AND COLLUSION TO DECEIVE: In 2009, the Clintons duped the public, the Foundation's Board of Directors, and its wealthy donors by announcing Sidney Blumenthal, a long-time adviser to both Clintons, had been hired...... (wait for it) "to work at the Clinton Foundation on a project to promote Bill Clinton’s presidential legacy. "

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

But Sid's secret emails show that, while on the foundation payroll, ostensibly "promoting Bill's legacy," Blumenthal fed back-channel, usually unreliable, intelligence reports on Libya to then-Secy of State Clinton.

Hillary sent Sid's reports on to senior State official without attribution......as if they were her analyses.

========================================

The NYT reports extensively on Blumenthal's secret emails to Hillary (emails she did not want revealed):

<><> the Clintons announced Blumenthal was hired @ $320,000 per year by the Clinton Foundation to "promote Bill's presidential legacy",

<><> at the same time Blumenthal was tight w/ American Bridge and Media Matters — two Democratic groups aiding 2016 Clinton's effort,

<><> Blumenthal was also a paid advisor to businesses seeking Libyan contracts (compromising US ntl interests, by marketing his influence at the State Dept);

<><> Clinton Foundation employee Blumenthal was secretly advising Secy of State Clinton about Libya @$320,000 per year.;

<><> at the same time, Sid also pocketed $200,000 a year from Clinton political ally David Brock's media operations
