A House committee investigating the Benghazi, Libya, attacks issued subpoenas Wednesday for the emails of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who used a private account exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state — and also used a computer email server now traced back to her family's New York home.

The subpoenas from the Republican-led Select Committee on Benghazi demanded additional material from Clinton and others related to Libya, spokesman Jamal D. Ware said. The panel also sent instructions to technology companies instructing them to preserve any relevant documents in their possession.

The questions about Clinton's email practices left the Obama administration in an awkward position. At one point, the State Department directed reporters to contact Clinton, who has not publicly commented about her emails. The White House said it was her responsibility to make sure any emails about official business weren't deleted from her private server.

The Benghazi committee discovered that Hillary was concealing her emails, and now will examine them.

I wonder if the left has figured out that this isn't going away yet?

What did Hillary know, and when did she know it?

What difference does it make? The difference between life and death of 4 Americans.

This along with the Clinton Foundation accepting monies from countries will be a major target.
House Committee Subpoenas Clinton Emails in Benghazi Probe - ABC News

The development on Capitol Hill came the same day AP reported the existence of a personal email server traced back to the Chappaqua, New York, home of Clinton. The unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official running her own email server would have given Clinton — who is expected to run for president in the 2016 campaign — significant control over limiting access to her message archives.

The practice also would complicate the State Department's legal responsibilities in finding and turning over official emails in response to any investigations, lawsuits or public records requests. The department would be the position of accepting Clinton's assurances she was surrendering everything required that was in her control.

WASHINGTON — The revelation that Hillary Rodham Clinton conducted government business entirely on a private email account as secretary of state has blindsided the Democratic establishment.

It was a bracing reminder of the risks entailed in the party’s all-but-all-in bet on Mrs. Clinton so early in the presidential nominating process. And it left Democrats contemplating the prospect of yet another long cycle of dramatic Clinton flare-ups — the type that President Obama obliquely campaigned against in 2008.

Clinton Foundation Defends Acceptance of Foreign Donations - WSJ

The Clinton Foundation on Wednesday defended its practice of accepting donations from overseas governments, amid concerns from some ethics experts that such contributions are inappropriate at a time when Hillary Clinton is preparing to run for president.

A Wall Street Journal review of donations to the Clinton Foundation in 2014 showed the charity received money from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman, among others. The donors included Canada’s foreign affairs department, which is promoting the Keystone XL pipeline.

19 Feb- Reconsideration . HHmmmmm -May reconsider accepting funds if she runs. No definite answer- This is a no brainer. DO NOT ACCEPT>

Clinton Foundation to Reconsider Foreign Donations If Hillary Clinton Runs for President - WSJ
The Clinton Foundation said Thursday that if Hillary Clinton runs for president, it will consider whether to continue accepting contributions from foreign governments, a step that would be aimed at avoiding the appearance of conflicts of interest.

A statement from the foundation didn’t commit it to rejecting donations from foreign governments in the future, as Republicans and some Democrats have urged amid concerns that those nations could use Mrs. Clinton’s family philanthropy to try to gain favor with a leading presidential candidate.

Clinton Foundation broke foreign donation deal with White House - Business Insider

A donation from the Algerian government could become an issue for Hillary Clinton's widely expected 2016 presidential campaign.

On Wednesday evening, the Washington Post reported the Clinton Foundation received $500,000 from Algeria in 2010, an apparent violation of an agreement Clinton made with aides to President Barack Obama before she was nominated to be secretary of state in late 2008. The deal was designed to address concerns foreign governments could attempt to influence the State Department by giving money to the foundation, which is now headed by Clinton, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea.

Nothing to see here folks, blinds on keep walkin

Unlike more established competitors, Mr. Giustra was a newcomer to uranium mining in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic. But what his fledgling company lacked in experience, it made up for in connections. Accompanying Mr. Giustra on his luxuriously appointed MD-87 jet that day was a former president of the United States, Bill Clinton.

The monster deal stunned the mining industry, turning an unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers in a transaction ultimately worth tens of millions of dollars to Mr. Giustra, analysts said.
 
There's so much work to do in this country and this is what the right wing is going after. :2no4:

Making corrupt Politicians accountable is a worthy goal. If she's willing to be this dishonest, this underhanded and if she really thinks she's above the law then she would not make a Good leader.

Plus the " Right wing " isn't to blame for all the work that this Country needs right now. Its been 6 years since Obama was elected and the GOP has had little to no influence in stopping him from creating even more work that needs to be done.

The Republicans don't care how much of the taxpayer money they spend on this witch hunt.

Certainly you understand that senators and congressmen ARE selected to government OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES right? I.E. spending time overseeing government agencies and activities IS THEIR JOB as senators and congressmen!?!?

A woman who lied to the faces of the parents/family of 4 dead Americans-and who has not only refused to cooperate, but the more she's investigated the more we find?

Yeah. Thats what needs to be investigated.

Thats why the American people put them there. Some of us are fine with elected officials doing as they please, apparently.

Talk to the hand. There's so much work to do in this country and the left wing is going after [insert name of a republican possibly running for POTUS in the upcoming elections].

A Secretary of State who deliberately lied to the American people and to the face of four grieving families for partisan political gain? Yeah, I'd definitely say a witch is involved, somewhere.

I completely understand, but how many times do they need to investigate this?

I don't think Hillary will enjoy you calling her a witch. :lamo

Do you remember Colin Powell February 2003 speaking at the UN? I wonder how the families of the almost 5000 troops who died in Iraq feel.

:shrug: Colin Powell didn't lie. He was wrong, but he believed what he was saying. That's the difference between him and Hilary - Hilary lied. She did it on purpose she did it to grieving families, and she did it for partisan advantage.

What are you saying she lied about?

We now know from her aides' emails that she knew immediately it was a terrorist attack, not the result of some video. Which is nonetheless what she told the families, promising that they were going to "get" the videomaker. :roll: because promising to punish an American citizen for exercising free speech in order to use him as a scapegoat for a negative consequence of an administration policy is, apparently, what SecStates' are supposed to do, anyway.

Let's be fair. You dismiss dead Americans regularly, and conveniently justify their deaths often directly by Americans.

This passion about American lives lost is just a thinly veiled justification for partisan attacks.
