Clinton didnât know how to access email by computer, says State official Julian Hattem
Hillary Clinton did not know how to use a computer to read and send emails when she entered office as the nation's top diplomat in 2009.
She only knew how to read her messages via BlackBerry, according to an official at the time.
Clintonâs chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, told State Department official Lewis Lukens that there could be a âproblem,â because Clinton âdoes not know how to use a computer to do email â only [Blackberry],â he wrote in a 2009 email
released on Monday."
âBut I said [it] would not take much training to get her up to speed," he claimed.
Itâs unclear whether Clinton was ever trained to use a computer to access emails.
However, the admission might bolster the argument that emails were not her main means of communication, despite the heavy focus on her use of a private email account and server for official State business. Clinton has previously claimed that she never had a computer in her office while serving as secretary of State.

Seems State knew right off the bat, Hillary wanted her own email system and helped facilitate its implementation.

Clinton bought the iPad herself and sometimes used it for email, according to Hillaryclinton.com.
“Clinton relied on her Blackberry for emailing,” according to the campaign site. “This was easiest for her. When the iPad came out in 2010, she was as curious as others and found it great for shopping, browsing, and reading articles when she traveled. She also had access to her email account on her iPad and sometimes used it for that too.”
Then how did she correspond with people about yoga class, wedding details, etc., that she admits having done?
Even if this were true....how is it relevant????
Remember the Urban Legend about George H.W. Bush not knowing that supermarkets used bar code scanners at the checkout? Despite the fact that there was no truth to the story, the media was more than happy to treat it as fact, and used it to ridicule Bush. Now, instead of using Hillary’s supposed lack of basic computer skills as a basis for criticism, it’s being used to justify her mishandling of Top Secret information.
Slowly crafting the deflection.
Years ago, I had my dear mother type a letter to her son on my new data processor. Took her two hours. Dad thought it was great.
I will patiently wait until every single on of them is convicted and behind bars.
This kind of kindergarten crap coming from the “leaders” of the nation is embarrassing.
Every military member on this board knows the gravity of the security breeches that are being discussed. And they know how deep into the hurt locker they would be if they got cought doing anything that even approached this.
She and her Islamic handler need to taken out and shot.
The “I’m too stupid to be a crook” defense?
This is the “throw-everything-against-the-wall-and-hope-something-sticks” mode of crisis control and communications.
Pure Clintonian spin tactics. They’ve been trotting out various focus-group tested explanations over the past several days, looking for anything that might resonate. How many times did you hear someone refer to the “culture of over-classification,” or “the e-mails didn’t originate with her?” Those arguments didn’t work, so now we’re expected to believe that HRC is an idiot (which I believe) and incapable of using Outlook on a State Department computer.
They’re getting desperate in the Clinton camp. The FBI is “super pissed” (as a source told Catherine Herridge of Fox News) and the Intel Community is equally upset. Both know how to play the leak game and they’re masters at death by a thousand cuts.
Obama may yet throw Hillary a lifeline, but the scandal will destroy her campaign.
Exactly!
Seriously!
Like it’s ok to hire someone as SECRETARY OF FRIGGIN STATE and they don’t know how to lock up classified data on a computer??? THAT’S supposed to be a good excuse??
What the hell
It is apparently from a 2009 email. I can’t think why they would have lied then bout this. GREAT news for the Sanders campaign. Makes her look like an idiot.
dots boolsheet
Amazing how completely out of touch the political class is. How many Freepers don’t know how to use email?
Does someone wipe her ass for her as well?
Don’t forget this:
I also remember the ‘Bush out of touch’ meme. IIRC, he was actually at an exposition of supermarket equipment (not at the corner store, as the media portrayed it). And the vendor was showing off a scanner that could read damaged bar codes. Bush was acting like a good ‘guest’ and saying ‘wow, that’s impressive’ when the technology was demonstrated to him.
