Obama says he learned of Clinton using private email through news reports (LOL!)

I fail to see the big deal about this thing.

Clinton has already said she has no problem letting the public read those emails. Also, Colin Powell as well as Jeb Bush used private email accounts and the war drums aren't sounding off over those people.

For the love of Pete. This is all we ever get out of DC anymore--grandstanding and bashing. :roll:

Would "those emails" be ONLY those that she (and/or her staff) selected and then presented for official review? That is much like telling the IRS that they can see all of the documentation of income that you chose to provide but may not audit all of your sales, inventory and bank deposit records. ;)
 
The people who are not buying it are republicans.



Nah, try again Carleen.....this time its the MS media who isn't buying it. You didn't want to say Gawker is Republican did you? What about the AP and NBC? Judicial Watch?



Hillary Clinton supporters have defended her use of a private email account to conduct official State Department business by arguing that she emailed colleagues at their government addresses, ensuring that a copy of the correspondence would be retained on government servers and available to archivists. As it turns out, some aides to Hillary Clinton also used private email addresses. But even if Team Hillary's initial claim had held together, it wouldn't matter. Public records laws encompass not just correspondence with other government employees but also emails with third parties about government business.

That's why a particular email flagged by J.K. Trotter is important. Back in 2013, a hacker secured access to the private email account of Sidney Blumenthal, a staffer in Bill Clinton's White House. The hacker sent screenshots of his inbox to various news outlets, including Gawker. "According to those screenshots, Blumenthal was regularly sending Clinton what appeared to be freelance intelligence reports—including information and advice about the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya—all of which clearly fell under the rubric of official State Department business," Trotter writes. "At the time, Gawker noted that Clinton’s apparent use of the non-official account likely violated federal regulations governing records retention, and sent inquiries directly to Clinton and to the White House asking if messages to the clintonemail.com address were being retained."

Gawker also "filed a FOIA request with the agency for all correspondence to date between Hillary Clinton and Sidney Blumenthal," Trotter continues, "specifically including any messages to or from the hdr22@clintonemail.com account." We now know that email address did, in fact, belong to former Secretary of State Clinton. Had she been following the rules and forwarding all email about official business to government servers, the State Department would've found the Blumenthal email. They found nothing.....snip~

A Hillary Clinton Email the State Department Couldn't Find
 
There is a law that specifically requires state department employees to only use the official email accounts of the state department for official communication.
Then why is Colin Powell walking in public and not behind bars?
 
Tell me how she went about burning her own emails. Yes. Please do.



No IT expert here.

You brought up the example of a magnetic tape. That was the example to which I responded.

However, if the hard drive of the computer is switched out out of a personal computer and destroyed, there is no longer a record on that computer. You may remember this from the IRS investigation also stone walled by this same administration.

These crooks are relying on those who plug their ears and close their eyes to get away with it.
 
Any digital info such as email is still on your computer or left on the server. All investigators need is a subpena and the ISP and they're reading emails--deleted or not. :shrug:

Well smarty, they weren't held by an ISP. They were on a small server, in her home, under her control.

Now it's your turn to explain how that's not a problem. :waiting:

All digital info is never truly deleted. :shrug:
 
I didn't know Clinton owned an internet service providing company. Which one does she own? :waiting:



Wow! Is that you, Valerie?

You don't need to defend Hillary here. You're anonymous here. You can just look at the crook and say she broke the law.
 
All digital info is never truly deleted. :shrug:

First, you thought an ISP held her emails, now you claim a hard drive can't be destroyed. Amazing.

Freaking amazing.

You don't know what's going on, you have no idea how email works and now you're just /shrug at criminal behavior. Because "Hillary". Can you get anymore amusing?

Out of curiosity, will this investigation be conducted by the Department of Justice?

Since it was personally owned server, in her home, under her control it makes the spin even more fail.
 
Obama says he learned of Clinton using private email through news reports

Obama says he learned of Clinton using private email through news reports | Fox News

“The same time everybody else learned it, through news reports,” Obama told CBS’ Bill Plante, in response to a question of when the president learned of Clinton’s use of a private email account for conducting government business.

OMG! Not this again! The dog ate my homework! What in God's name are we doing with this idiot in office? What a joke.



He never got an email from her?
 
Wow, you have no idea WTF is going on do?

Feel free to look up other sources. SHE INSTALLED A PRIVATE SERVER IN HER ****ING HOME. You don't need an ISP to set up an email server. Welcome to the 21st century.
Wow! Didn't know that Clinton knew how to set up a ISP. Busy woman. Does she do her own plumbing? :roll:
 
No Obama fan here...

But if you honestly think that the President of the United States has the time to know of every minute detail of every single person on his staff's day to day activities, you are a ****ing moron.

Not an Obama fan,

yet don't think BO Peep got any emails from Hillary, huh? Tell us now how BO just uses his phone. :roll:
 
Out of curiosity, will this investigation be conducted by the Department of Justice?
I don't know. If conducted I believe they will find about as much as they did with Whitewater.
 
Wow! Didn't know that Clinton knew how to set up a ISP. Busy woman. Does she do her own plumbing? :roll:

Wait, hold on...

You think an email server requires an ISP????


Man you really aren't in the 21st century.
 
Wow! Didn't know that Clinton knew how to set up a ISP. Busy woman. Does she do her own plumbing? :roll:

Why would she do that when she had a perfectly good system set up for her already on a government email? Everyone else used it. But she didn't . Why is that?

I don't know. Probably the same reason that Colin Powell and Jeb Bush decided to do the same? :shrug:
 
I don't see the comparison. What laws have Hillary Clinton or Colin Powell or Jeb Bush broken?

Here is what those in the Media are saying. Are you saying the AP got it wrong? Have they retracted yet?


WH Counsel's Office: Wait, Hillary Used Her Personal Email While She Was Secretary Of State?......

Despite Hillary’s tweet, where she proudly proclaimed that all would be able to read her emails, this doesn’t really fix anything. Clinton could release them on her own time given that her personal email address was registered on a server operating out of her family home. To make matters worse, the White House Counsel’s Office reportedly didn’t know Clinton was using her personal email while serving as Obama’s Secretary of State, which not only opened the administration to data breaches, but was not in compliance with the guidelines given to agencies about using government email addresses for government business (via AP):

Yet, as our White House Correspondent Conn Carroll wrote yesterday, the administration couldn’t say that they trust the Clinton camp in whether she followed the law concerning the use of her personal email account:....snip~

It is also not automatically archived and forwarded to a public repository for safe keeping and thus may be overwritten. Even though Lois Lerner used an IRS account/server, her emails were once said to have been "lost" and/or "unrecoverable" - one rarely finds that which is never sought.
 
It's very simple to set up a home based email server - which could run on any laptop or PC. General cable or DSl connectivity normally won't do, since setting up one's own email server is normally against the TOS of most ISP's, so it's a Secure (MPLS) T1 or Fiber IP connection to the home, into a small router, to a small firewall, then to a switch or direct to the server. The software for secure email can be purchased off the shelf. Most mediocre IT people can set this up with little difficulty. ISP's have been doing this and reselling service for decades.

Find the hard drive it was on and you will find it.
 
Then why is Colin Powell walking in public and not behind bars?




Did I say in any post that Hillary Clinton is the only crook in the government?

I think that I have said that most of our government is corrupt and lacking in any loyalty to the public interest, the American people or the law that exceeds their loyalty to their own skin and their party.
 
Find the hard drive it was on and you will find it.
You are correct. The only true way to kill a hard drive is to remove the platen and melt it with a torch until it's all turned into molten metal.
 
Find the hard drive it was on and you will find it.

Shred the hard drive, dump it in a land fill, a river, the ocean. It doesn't take much. You watch too much CSI if you think it can't be destroyed.
