The State Department does not appear to have submitted legally required information regarding Hillary Clinton's secret computer server to the Department of Homeland Security during her term as secretary, FoxNews.com has learned.
All federal government agencies are mandated to submit a list of systems, vulnerabilities and configuration issues to DHS every 30 days. The department then performs a "cyberscope audit" to ensure security, a responsibility the agency has had since 2010.
FoxNews.com learned of the lapse as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request submitted June 11. It is not clear if State Department officials in charge of compliance with the DHS audits knew of their boss's server, which has been shown to have included "top secret" information in emails.
Clinton headed the agency from 2009-2013. The DHS established the "Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation" program in 2010, amid growing concerns government systems could be vulnerable to cyber attack. But Clinton's computer server, through which she and key aides sent and received tens of thousands of emails, was apparently never audited, according to DHS, which conducted a comprehensive search of Office of Cyber Security and Communications records after FoxNews.com lodged its request.
"Unfortunately, we were unable to locate or identify any responsive records," wrote Sandy Ford Page, chief of Freedom of Information Act operations for DHS.

The “born classified” assessment needs more emphasis.
Some of the items have digital watermarks, which means somebody has to actively obscure those marks before they physically transfer the item to an unclassified environment, to be attached in an e-mail.
NOBODY does this without direction and assurance of legal cover.
This IS a full blown conspiracy that could only have happened at Hillary’s direction.
It’s over for Hillary, but no one has bothered to tell her or the MSM yet.
DHS for cyber security? A bit of mission creep?
Watch carefully, as if you need to. The effort, as anyone can see, is to bamboozle, divert, and attempt to confuse any attention with endless sleight of hand news reports about whether the screws that held in HRC’s hard drive were metric when they shoulda been 6-32, so that shows that no foreign entity was involved. We know this drill. Bifurcate. Could have been a little stuffed toy HRC keeps on her desk to remind her of the ol’ Arkansas days, or could have been getting distracted by contractors worrking on painting the garage at Chappaqua. “Her hard drive was a special type that rotated counterclockwise so the decrypt guys will need several more months to work on it”. Complete with, as of today, a new Marie Harf-type mall-rat spokesperson with squeaky voice that, OMG, how could ever get mad at such a cute little twit? Of course you understand what she says, it’s perfectly clear, this is only partisan politics.
Hillary Clinton in 2011: ‘Hackers Break Into ... Personal Email Accounts’

Here are Mrs. Clinton's remarks in context:
Finding this proper measure for the internet is critical because the qualities that make the internet a force for unprecedented progress – its openness, its leveling effect, its reach and speed – also enable wrongdoing on an unprecedented scale. Terrorists and extremist groups use the internet to recruit members, and plot and carry out attacks. Human traffickers use the internet to find and lure new victims into modern-day slavery. Child pornographers use the internet to exploit children. Hackers break into financial institutions, cell phone networks, and personal email accounts.
So we need successful strategies for combating these threats and more without constricting the openness that is the internet’s greatest attribute.
This IS a full blown conspiracy that could only have happened at Hillary’sOdungo's direction.
There. Fixed it. The motivation was to HIDE HIS ILLEGAL AND TRAITOROUS FOREIGN POLICY.
Part of the coverup, instigated by Her Royal Hipness, and aided by our fearless leader.
Rules? Hahahahahahahahahahah.....
-—DHS for cyber security? A bit of mission creep?-—
Perhaps, but if not them, who? The Justice Dept. seems to be off in LA LA land.
If the State Department didn’t give them the Blackberries, why would they destroy any Blackberries given to them by Clinton’s aides?
Are they the property disposal office?
This is really starting to stink.
Hillary’s Senate Campaign PAC paid Bryan Pagliano, a Clinton loyalist who had been her 2008 Presidential campaign IT guy, to set up and operate the “server” from January through April 2009. The server Hillary claims belongs to her personally, actually was the property of her 2008 Presidential campaign. There is no reason to believe she ever paid for it, which means it is not truly her property. In April 2009, Hillary caused the State Dept to hire Pagliano to operate Hillary’s secret server (and presumably other government duties, but who knows). Golly gee, wouldn’t that mean he would be a key player in making sure all audits were performed and all security policies adhered to? Any why were the taxpayers providing IT services if the server belonged to Hillary personally? It appears Pagliano continued until 2013 when Platte River Networks took over the job. (I assume the State Dept’s desire to employ him evaporated when Hillary left.)
Hillary rigged the communications game to insulate herself from all legal oversight, including evasion of security audits by placing a crony in charge. I don’t think the server legally belongs to her. The argument that the server was Hillary’s at all is very thin. Every thing on it should have been subject to government control and oversight; anything she deleted was destruction of government data and evidence. What we need here is a civil case requiring Pagliano’s deposition.
The arguments need to be more consistent. Right now “they” are only focusing on the server. But where is the focus on all of the PC’s or smart phones that she used from 2009-2013?
With Lois Lerner “they” started with her PC until it was determined that it suffered a fate worse than Arkancide, and then they turned to the servers for back ups. How come this is being done to the mess that Hillary has created?
“They” need to bring everyone in for serious questioning that had any idea that the Beast was operating outside of normal government SOPs. Someone within the State Department outside her close advisors had to know to use the Clinton.com email address to communicate with her and that should have spread like wildfire through State at every water cooler meeting in the building that would have gone something like this:
1) “hey did you hear that if we need to send an email to Hillary that we need to use the Clinton.com email address?”
or
2)”hey I’ve been trying to send something to Hillary’s .gov email address but it keep bouncing back, what gives?”
Don't go there with the "officials in charge of compliance". The "boss" has the ultimate responsibility and she wasn't in compliance. Knowing how things are supposed to legally operate is part of being a boss. When you decide to use your own server you should ask yourself "Is this legal? Maybe I should ask someone who knows."
Does Hillary still get Secret Service cover in prison?
I’d suspect not but I could be wrong.
she may need to be placed in solitary in order to maintain security.
Id bet that there are people in stoney lonesome who’d just love to get their hands on her thighness.....for less than completely friendly bidness.
