On the same day that the “hacktivist” group WikiLeaks posted tens of thousands of classified State Department communications online, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a top deputy to send now-classified information to her personal email address, newly released emails reveal.
“Here’s my personal email,” Clinton told former Sen. George Mitchell, then Clinton’s special envoy for Middle East peace. “Pls use this for reply.”
Mitchell responded with details of discussions with Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini. Most of the contents of the email, released by the State Department on Monday night, are redacted pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act exemption designed to protect classified national security information.
Another Mitchell email in response to Clinton’s request discussed conversations with Spanish foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos. Contents of that email are also redacted, citing the same FOIA exemption.
The exchanges took place on July 25, 2010, the same day that WikiLeaks posted roughly 92,000 classified State Department cables stolen by then-Army private Bradley Manning on its website.
Clinton’s department treated the leak very seriously, additional communications released on Monday reveal. In a November 2010 letter, State legal adviser Harold Koh told an attorney representing WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange that his group’s release of classified information “place at risk the lives of countless innocent individuals.”
Mitchell’s emails to Clinton were among more than 100 emails released on Monday sent to or from Clinton’s personal email address that contained classified information.
Clinton and her supporters claim she never handled information on her personal email account that was classified at the time it was sent or received, a claim that the inspector general of the intelligence community has contradicted.
Her critics have seized on her handling of classified information to demonstrate her supposed disregard for information security and laws governing classified government communications.
“On hundreds of occasions, Hillary Clinton’s reckless attempt to skirt transparency laws put sensitive information and our national security at risk,” Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said in a Monday statement on the emails’ release.
“With the FBI continuing to investigate, Hillary Clinton’s growing email scandal shows she cannot be trusted with the White House,” Priebus said.
"Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said during an interview on CNN’s “New Day” Wednesday morning that if he were still a sitting U.S. Attorney, he would prosecute Hillary Clinton."
"As a prosecutor, Giuliani said, he would have Clinton under investigation for “about five different crimes,” although he didn’t expressly say what those crimes are."
So a Grand Jury in the works? Special Prosecutor? Hello, JustUs Department?
What about the potential blackmail of Hillary if she's President, since it's a given by all IT experts that China, Russia and maybe NK and Iran hacked into her bathroom server? . . Even though she 'wiped' it with a cloth and the Secret Service were guarding it. BTW, do we know for sure the SS was guarding the server in the bathroom closet in Colorado? :)
Hillary's Server Conundrum: Is it going away?
"“The Guccifer archive isn’t complete and many intelligence services are interested in it. Hot Palestinian documents. Problems in the near future for the Western world. The whole archive is around 30 GB. That’s the submerged part of the iceberg.” Time for Guccifer to come clean with the 30GB? Time for Guccifer and many other IT/Hacker types to testify?
This is just our National Security on the line, nothing to see here, no bigge. . Oh, and now the MSM has been repeating 'mundane' all day about Hillary's emails. . "Mundane" was the meme of the day.
Waiting daily for the Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, findings from the FBI "A" Team, and the Justice Department. Has she finally met her match?
I think the overall goal...is simply to make her look so stupid....that even the heavy-hitter donors will walk away, and then her campaign falls flat with no cash to fund it. You can be as innocent as you desire, but if you look this stupid, it’ll just get you in other ways.
The FBI have to be shaking their heads because there’s more than enough evidence to drag her into an interrogation room. Had this been some admiral or minor player out of Homeland Security...they’d be swinging away and hit home-runs.
In the end, I’d be satisfied if they just revoked her security clearance, and the clearances for the ten-odd players around her.
and her security clearance has STILL not been revoked!
George Mitchell a HUGE backer of the Iran deal BLA, BLA BLA, I can’t believe what these bastards have done to this country!!!! Obammie honestly believes that HIS deal with Iran IS going to be seen as the same thing Ronald Reagan did with the Soviet Union, he is such a FOOL!!! He BELIEVES he will be ADMIRED just like Reagan!!!!
Moratinos…
Castro’s Man in Europe (Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos) , Wall Street Journal ^ | OCTOBER 20, 2009, 4:00 P.M. ET | OPINION EUROPE
Havana’s man in Europe is returning from Cuba with a simple request: For his EU partners to drop their focus on human rights. After a two-day visit with the Cuban government, Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos will press his Continental counterparts to scrap their 1996 “Common Position” on Cuba in order to fully normalize ties with Raul Castro’s dictatorship. .. “Consider Mr. Moratinos a trend-setter in the age of Obama, as the U.S. president’s own overtures to Castro (not to mention to Iran, Burma and now Sudan) follow a distinctly Moratinian philosophy. This holds that engaging dictators will yield...
