Who Hired Craig Livingstone is - officially, at least - unknown, and an open question. But one thing is for sure: whoever did it was:Since the hiring of Livingstone occured on Bill Clintons watch, he is responsible for the fact that Livingstone was hired. But since Bill Clinton neither accepted responsibility for that nor punished anyone for it - and did not even admit to having fired Livingstone, only stating that Livingstone was fired (note the unspecific passive voice), everyone in the Clinton White House is presumably responsible for hiring Craig Livingstone absent proof to the contrary.
- important enough to have done it, and too important to be thrown under the bus when Livingstones wholesale intrusions into the privacy of past (Democrat as well as Republican) nominees for federal/white house posts became known.
- willing and able to abuse sensitive classified information.
There is no proof that Hillary did not hire Craig Livingstone, and any evidence such as her private (private, ironically, more against the legal interests of the US public than against foreign intelligence services) server increases the presumption that
Hillary Clinton Hired Craig Livingstone.
