Sources: Clinton emails would have been 'whitelisted' for Obama BlackBerry
Fox News ^ | 10/26/16 | Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne

Posted on 10/26/2016 7:08:15 PM PDT by randita

President Obama’s high-security BlackBerry used a special process known as “whitelisting” that only allowed it to take calls and messages from pre-approved contacts, two former senior intelligence officials with knowledge of the set-up told Fox News – pointing to the detail as further proof the White House knew Hillary Clinton’s private account was used for government business.

As the administration now acknowledges, Obama and Clinton emailed each other while she was helming the State Department. If received on his BlackBerry, the “whitelisting” safeguard means Clinton and other contacts would have had to be approved as secure for data transmission – covering everything from emails to texts to phone calls. The Obama BlackBerry would have also been configured to accept the communications.

“Think of whitelisting like a bouncer in the VIP line at the party. If you are on the list you get in, if you are not, you get bounced to the pavement,” said Bob Gourley, former chief technology officer (CTO) for the DIA, and now a partner with strategic consulting and engineering firm Cognitio.

There is a question whether Hildebeast’s email was whitelisted before March, 2015? It was certainly whitelisted while she was the secretary of state, from January, 2009 until Kerry replaced her in 2013. Why would Obama bother whitelisting the address more than two years after she was out of office?

Proving again that what she and everyone from POTUS in down knew and approved of her passing classified state secrets on her bathroom server. Traitors.

I would be delighted with Catherine Herridge. One small problem - she speaks too fast. This is probably because she's trying to pack as much information as she can into a short segment.

Every time she gives a report I have to roll back the dvr so I can listen to her, one-sentence-at-a-time. But it's worth it.

At some point in time I have to believe that felony clinton told comrade obama that if she went down she was taking him with her.

To continue Hussein Obama's agenda, he needs Hillary to be POTUS.

Two phone calls by Obama made that happen:

1. FBI Dir

2 Attorney General

Both were told there would be no indictment.

There are MANY who believe Comey and Lynch engineered the email cover up. That makes no sense, they are not going to stick their finger up to the law without real power.

That power was Hussein Obama.

Now we know who the VIP ( very VIP) Paul Combetta was referring to when he tried to remove and replace certain e-mail domains from Hillary’s private server. Obama could try to invoke executive privilege if Congress subpoenaed his official Blackberry, but Clinton could not, not only during the 2013-2015 time when she was a private citizen, but while she was SOS and conducting secret business with the WH evading the legal requirement that “official documents” be preserved. That’s why they wanted ALL emails deleted over 60 days old.

What were they hiding?

You have heard of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” as stated in the US Constitution. Conspiracy to evade the law and using the DOJ and FBI to cover it up falls into the area of High Crimes, not Misdemeanors.

Obama was in a bind.

If he had asserted Executive Privilege regarding he and Clinton’s email exchanges through her private server, then it is a tacit admission that classified information was sent. Both have denied that classified information was sent or received.

If he had turned over the emails, it would have been proven beyond a doubt that classified information was sent.

That’s why the server had to be wiped and the hard drives and mobile devices destroyed. I’m sure that Obama’s bb from the time in question has also been destroyed and replaced with a clean one.

I think what they were hiding was that classified information was sent outside secure government channels and Obama knew about it.

Comey found that it definitely was and why she was not charged for that is a matter of speculation, but the most obvious reason is that he was told DOJ would not bring a case against her. The reason DOJ could not bring a case against her is that in the discovery phase, it would be found that Obama knew that she was breaking the law and he was also in possession of classified information she sent outside government channels. That would be an impeachable offense.

Good points and I will take it a step further.

The “limited hangout” here is that we are only discussing the fact that “ classified information” was sent/received— not the nature of the information itself. Remember, this all centered around the Benghazi matter. While know that serious laws were violated, the public may never know the actual content of those conversations as they are no longer part of the public archives.
