"Think we should hold emails to and from potus? That's the heart of his exec privilege. We could get them to ask for that. They may not care, but I(t) seems like they will."

LOCK ‘EM UP!
Only had time to quickly post this. Going to be out getting truck worked on so I won’t be able to reply for a while.
Obama claimed he learned about Hillary’s email system the same time everybody else learned it.
Another big lie.
So? Please explain how this is bad.

You can’t claim executive privilege to cover up a crime. Nixon tried that. Of course only the rule of law applies to Repugs, never Dumbcrats.
Title is:
WikiLeaks: Podesta Asks Clinton’s Lawyer, ‘Think We Should Hold Emails To and From (Obama)?’

Your changed title doesn’t make sense.
Thanks Starboard for your answer. I just borrowed it.
Used Drudge’s Title. Got to the heart of the problem.
We know from other sources that he was emailing Hillary through an alias, not his own name. As far as I know, nobody has figured out what that alias is. If we can prove that charge, then it is pretty good evidence that he not only knew about the server, but had his own unsecured, illegal private email, and that he was covering his tracks when communicating on the private email channels because he knew it was all illegal.
And this is why the FBI head would not prosecute because Obama knew and used it.
They are talking about asking Obama to claim executive privilege to withhold emails between Hillary and Obama.
Obama claimed he didn’t know about Hillary’s private server because he didn’t email her on it.
Obama using Hillary’s private server to conduct government business would be a crime on his part.
P.S. I always wondered why nobody questioned how Obama communicated with Hillary while she was SOS, since she admitted she never used her .gov email.

It’s TAGLINE season again........
It’s almost time to bypass the electoral process and start hanging these bastards...
Not really, no.
The new information is that the day after being told to produce documents by Congress, Podesta and Mills were scheming to withhold document e-mail to and from Obama.
Caught red-handed in conspiracy to obstruct Justice.
Bingo. He had no interest in protecting Hillary, except he had to in order to protect himself.
I don’t think this will hurt them. I’m just being realistic.
Wow. Sharp answer. Thank goodness for FReepers like you. I was stuck :)
A question to those with first hand experience here...
Wouldn’t Obama *have* to have an insecure email account in order to email to Hilliary’s unsecured server/address?
Is it routine for POTUS to maintain 2 email accounts, one secure, one official but open?
Does this (emailing hilliary using an alias) imply he had an unsanctioned email account?
TIA, Freepers
Cheryl Mills was Hillary’s chief of staff and “Counselor of the United States Department of State”. Despite the word “counselor”, this is not an attorney position. Most people in that position have not been attorneys (and the current office holder is not!). The fact that Mills is an attorney does not make all of her communications with Hillary privileged attorney client communications. Every lawyer knows this! Basically, only legal advice and related communications are privileged. Furthermore, as a government lawyer (assuming she was acting as a lawyer), any privilege belongs to the government and not to the government employee the attorney was giving legal advice to as part of her official duties. So if we were really talking about privileged communications here (which of course I suspect we are not!), the proper approach would have been for Mills and Clinton to turn over the possibly privileged emails to the State Department for them to review to for privilege. And if the DOJ really wanted to investigate this, they would have challenged the assertion of privilege and if that failed, used the grand jury process to compel production or at least a judicial review of the materials. This is a total joke and I can’t believe the headlines keeping describing Mills as “Clinton lawyer....”
