Hillary Clinton Aide Who Set Up Her Private Email Server Had 'No Security Clearance'

Justin Cooper, who helped set up Hillary Clinton’s private home email system, testified Tuesday before the House Oversight Committee and admitted that he had no national security clearance during the time he had access to all of Hillary Clinton’s emails while she was Secretary of State.

Cooper, who was a former aide to President Bill Clinton, said “I did not have a security clearance” while setting up and servicing Hillary Clinton’s private email server, laptops, and mobile devices.

Cooper’s confession came during day two of the Rep. Jason Chaffetz-led Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. Chaffetz issued a subpoena to top FBI official Jason Herring on Monday for every document related to the bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.

During Tuesday’s hearing, two employees of Colorado tech company Platte River Networks — the firm that maintained Clinton’s private home server — repeatedly invoked their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.

“Who told you to delete the emails?” Rep. Chaffetz asked Paul Combetta of Platte River Networks about Clinton's email server.

“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer and assert my Fifth Amendment privilege,” Combetta said. Combetta was reportedly granted immunity by the Department of Justice during its investigation of Clinton’s mishandling of classified emails while at State.

This Cooper guy was not the only unqualified person to work on the Hillary Clinton home-brew server.

Brian Pagliano was hired by the State Department as a full time employee to oversee Hillary Clinton's personal property server as a GS-15-C which is a highly paid position for people with as a subject matter expert with exceptional technical skills and advanced degrees, typically a PhD

Brian Pagliano was a political hack with no advanced computer skills of qualifications

Her server became classified the second classified info was on it. Classified information DOES NOT have to have banners stating it’s classification. Anyone that has a clearance and knows anything classified can type up an email and send it knowing the information is classified or receive an email and know the actual information is classified. When that happens, any server and or computer the email is sent from and received becomes classified. Retrieving and destroying is damn near impossible...

If email is sent from or pulled from a classified network, then the email is classified with the proper heading i.e. (C) CONFIDENTIAL (S) SECRET etc. Classified documents have every paragraph preceded with the classification of that paragraph including (U) for UNCLASS. The (C) Clinton thought was a paragraph scheme like a, b, c is just more proof she’s an idiot.

The main question on that particular email is that it came from a classified computer and someone knowingly copied, scanned or sent it ti an unclassified system to send to Clinton. That’s a criminal charge.

The IT folks working her server probably wouldn’t know what’s classified or not but common sense would tell you working for the Secretary of State just about everything is “Sensitive” at the very least.

He can still invoke the 5th when testifying in front of Congress. He just had immunity from any type of criminal prosecution in the e-mail case. The DOJ deal and this deal are two completely different things. For instance, if there had ended up being a trial of some sort in the e-mail case that was being prosecuted by the DOJ, and he invoked 5th while testifying in that trial, then they would revoke any immunity and hammer him with any statements he may have made to them. He doesn’t have to tell Congress anything.

According to sworn depositions by her staff, HRC:

• Flatly refused to use ANY Government terminal, system or network.

• Flatly refused any e-mail account in the @STATE.GOV domain.

• Flatly refused to take any of the offered computer training or tutoring to enable her to use USG systems.

• Only had a USGOV FAX machine in her office -- NO computer.

So, you're correct: HRC never had an account on any secure USG system.

"The fault goes to the people who moved the classified information from the classified systems to the unclassified system [and DELETED both the header and portion markings,] and transmitted it to Hillary. And the person who told them to do it, which was almost certainly Hillary."

BINGO!!!

[TXnMA]

"When did her server become classified? If it didn’t why not?"

Never. Because it was her personal server -- and because HRC is too important for the Nation's security to concern her psychopathic ego.

Thanks for the confirmation.

It is shocking that someone could copy or transmit information from a secure system to a non-secure system and not be flagged or caught in the act by the system itself and reported to an administrator, unless the administrator was also aware and ignored what was detected because it came from the top. The problem here is everyone in the State Department is covering their own a$$es as well as Hillary’s a$$ and there are no live whistle blowers or nobody for the whistle blowers to go to because Obama is corrupt, the FBI is compromised and corrupt, and only karma, fate, and ultimately God can help us now.

Had any member of the military shared anything classified with this guy they’d lose their clearance and face serious consequences. Allowing this person access should be grounds to reopen the case against Clinton, and; these facts should fry her.
