Clinton didn’t 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.

Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, told State Department official Lewis Lukens that there could be a “problem,” because Clinton “does not know how to use a computer to do email — only [Blackberry],” he wrote in a 2009 email

released on Monday."

“But I said [it] would not take much training to get her up to speed," he claimed.

It’s 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.

She did not understand how to use a computer, but did understand the reasons to set up a email server.

Amazing, an idiot savant, a social nonfunctional genius at crime.

You can use your government email address on a government blackberry.

Hitlary has never received any kind of security clearance and she had in her emails uber top secret stuff that only 12 people are able to access.

On her unsecured computer.

“Remember when the libs/media said this sort of thing disqualified McCain as old and out of touch?”

Yes, they did. Without mentioning that the reason he didn’t use a computer was because he couldn’t hold his hands in the proper position due to the torture he had been subjected to by their buds the North Vietnamese “Progressives.” Miserable sons-of-bitches.

And I don’t even like McCain.

Oh, so now it’s the “I didn’t know what I was doing defense.” And that server just set itself up in her basement.

I don’t know what offends me more; that she actually expects us to believe this crap, or that her Kool-Ade guzzling supporters actually will.

This is what’s known in the trade as a trial balloon. Next step is to watch Turtlehead Colmes trot it out on Fox News. Depending on how that goes, Lanny “no poof” Davis will sing a few bars.

If that doesn’t work, maybe they’ll try the insanity defense.

I seem to remember a time when the media was touting Hillary as the smartest woman in the world.

Of course if she gets away with all this, she just may be.

Everyone looking for work, PLEASE go and tell your prospective employers that you can’t respond to email on a computer, that you just don’t know how. See how far you get.

This may be a set up for poor Huma. Good thing she has a place for son “Cocktail” and her to go live in Saudi Arabia.

No, moron news ‘reporter’ it doesn’t. It shows what an idiot she really is to think we believe her crap. If she is so dumb that she can’t use email on her computer she doesn’t deserve to be elected to anything. Just go home Hillary, you are so done, over, finished!

Why don’t you try another ‘reset’ button and see if you can spell it correctly this time. And, btw, get your own damn tea, you lazy liar.

“Check her BlackBerry, then.”

It makes you wonder why they haven’t already!

This is going to be her defense. She doesn’t know how to use email. That means someone else is going to be thrown under the bus. Could it be Huma?

I can imagine everyone who worked for her talked amongst themselves about how stupid she is.

I knew a guy once who was an exec, and he would have his secretary print out all of his email for him to read, and then he would dictate his response to the ones he wanted to reply to.

I know someone who prints out his emails, writes on them with a pen and faxes them back to the person.
