State Dept. says it can't find emails from Clinton's IT aide
Washington Examiner ^ | May 6, 2016 | Rudy Takala

The State Department has been unable to locate any emails that were sent to or from Hillary Clinton's former IT aide at the department, according a Monday court filing.

The statement was made by lawyers responding to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee. The party sued for applicable records after the department failed to respond to a FOIA request.

Former IT aide Bryan Pagliano served at the department for nearly the entirety of Clinton's tenure from 2009-13. He was responsible for establishing a private server in the basement of Clinton's home, which was allegedly unknown to anyone else at the department until after Clinton had left.

Pagliano was granted immunity by the Justice Department in March in exchange for cooperating with the investigation into Clinton's use of the server, which involves more than 2,000 classified messages that Clinton sent or received during her tenure as secretary of state.

A spokesperson from the State Department, Elizabeth Trudeau, told reporters Monday that State was still looking for any of his emails that might exist while Clinton was in office, but didn't offer a timetable or more details on when that might happen.

Perhaps they should look on Hellary’s coffee table. That’s where the missing Travelgate docs were found.

Sarbanes-Oxley requires publicly traded to companies to retain emails for 5 to 7 years (depending on the document).

I don’t believe the government would accept “We can’t find the emails” or the hard drive crashed.

Government institutions should have the same policy, at a minimum.

Guess he only used private systems as well, or the old “draft” trick.

Former IT aide Bryan Pagliano...

They can't find the emails from an IT guy? If he was competent as an IT guy that would seem likely.

Wow. Who could have imagined? Those darn emails just keep randomly disappearing. No one knows why. It’s a complete mystery.

And in a year, they will find some.

They’ll be real sorry and have some childish excuse.

They are Democrats. Being an American is way down on their list.

EVEN BEFORE HER INFAMOUS UN PRESSER WHERE THE SMIRKNG HILLARY DENIED EVERYTHING---Fox has Hillary on video wherein Hillary tells an earlier tech conference in California: “I have, you know, an iPad, a mini iPad, an iPhone and a Blackberry.”

" Where are all those electronics, Hillary"?

Did Hillary delete pertinent e-mails while subject to congressional investigation?

THE NYT REPORTED 3/27/15: Clinton’s review (and erasing?) of her emails did not occur when she was secretary of state ......or even shortly after she left office.

Last October, nearly two years after she left office, the State Department sent her a letter requesting all government records, like emails, she may have possessed. In response, she provided the State Department in December with about 30,000 printed emails that she said were government records. She has said that an additional 30,000 emails were personal.

It appears Clinton still has copies of the emails she deemed public records. Attached to Mr. Kendall’s letter was one sent to him by the State Department this week.

A letter from the under secretary of state for management, Patrick F. Kennedy, said that the department understood that she wanted to keep copies of those documents. Mr. Kennedy said that the agency had consulted with the National Archives, and that allowing her “access to the documents is in the public interest as it will promote informed discussion” as she responds to congressional and other inquiries.

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

ADDENDUM---The State Dept may also be facing charges of misleading a court WRT the court's request for documents...and for tampering w/ evidence.

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

......an article months ago mentioned the first server Hillary used was the one in their Chappaqua house for Slick/s use when he left the White House......against the advice of Slick/s people. At some point Hillary went to a server managed by an outside company. Pagliano probably had some involvement in the migration if not sole responsibility.

Hillary obviously had to keep her pay-to-play Foundation business off government computers. Fortunately whether it was Pagliano or someone else, the file deletion/wipe was less than professional.

What’s going to happen to Sid Blumenthal? Not a govt employee, Sid was employed by the Cilnton Foundation and had side business interests.....but Sid had clasified info almost verbatim (as confirmed by the NSA). The next few months are going to be beyond interesting. Hillary is dead meat. (hat tip meatloaf)

If the tech witness is truly cooperating he should be able to provide copies of emails. If not his immunity should be revoked and he arrested and detained pending discovery.

Throw the head of the dept. in jail until the records are coughed up. Every day thst goes by, another dept. head goes to jail. Then start on the underlings. Somebody will squeal!


Excellent idea, also threaten loss of pension and personal fines, thereby causing them to sing like Willie Nelson at Yankee Stadium.

Private server in the basement of Clinton’s home?
What happened to the server in the bathroom of the Colorado condo?

Or were there two servers?

Since Hillary claims her “family” paid Pagliano to run her private server, why is there no investigation of Pagliano to determine what work, if any, he did in exchange for a State Dept paycheck? Why are not Pagliano and his supervisor, Patrick Kennedy, up on fraud charges for employment fraud? I guess we all know why.

IT depts do everything by email. Tt is to cover their backsides when something breaks. Or in this case there is illegal activity going on.

Epic “house-cleaning”?

Hopefully, the names of the Hillivirus-infected State Department dweebs are being preserved somewhere so they can be assigned to newly-created State Department posts in Benghazi.

Rules say Trump can’t “fire” them? Hmmm...?

Then, maybe being “fired upon” would produce the same beneficial result...
