I must say, I expected this to happen at the beginning of the week, but better late than never. It will be interesting to see what results from this.


Gowdy asks Clinton to turn over email server for review
By MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The chairman of a House committee investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi formally requested Friday that Hillary Rodham Clinton turn over her email server for an independent review.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., sent a letter requesting that Clinton, a likely Democratic presidential candidate, turn over to the State Department inspector general or other third party the server she used for official business while serving as secretary of state. The aim would be to have a third party determine what records should be made public.

"Though Secretary Clinton alone is responsible for causing this issue, she alone does not get to determine its outcome," Gowdy said in a statement. His request to turn over the server is "in the interest of transparency for the American people," Gowdy said.

Clinton has pledged that all her work-related email will be made public but has acknowledged deleting thousands of messages related to personal matters. Clinton has said the server "will remain private."

I wonder what program Clinton has that did overwrite/erased the deleted emails?

She could have also used an encrypted server and no one will probably ever find the "deleted" emails.

I don't think it'll happen. Unless, of course, the house actually subpoenas the email server itself.

We know that Holder and his DOJ, or will it be Lynch by then? Either way, sure as ****, neither are going to be doing anything with this case.

There are tons of them out there on the Internet as a free download. Any one of them, run repeatedly enough would do the job. A job that's beyond Hillary's capability (I'm pretty sure), so she'll have to contract that out, but who would take that contract given the media coverage that's already out there?

The more she fights this, the more she sinks her presidential aspirations. If she really wanted to make a break for the better, turn the server over now, complete and intact, and let the chips fall where they may. But I'm pretty sure that goes against every fiber of her being, every fiber of her character, and every fiber of her past history as well. So a long drawn out battle it'll probably be.
 
Now I'm confused.

Clinton has pledged that all her work-related email will be made public but has acknowledged deleting thousands of messages related to personal matters. Clinton has said the server "will remain private."

A Clinton spokesman said Friday that when all her work emails are released, "it will offer an unprecedented opportunity for the American people to see for themselves that they are all there and then some."

But Hillary claimed, over a week ago, that all of her work-related emails HAVE BEEN turned over.

(3:10 p.m.): Pressed on whether Clinton turned over all of the relevant emails to the State Department, Clinton claimed she did more than what was asked and only personal communications were excluded.

So which is it? Have all the emails been turned over? Or, are there still more that need to be turned over?

Mycroft, that's just Hillary being transparent. Better get used to it, if she becomes president. It'll be a continual diet of the stuff.

All the more reason that this particular inquiry needs to be vigorously pursued to the logical conclusion, which, in my mind anyway, the turning over of the private server, in tact, for forensic examination by an impartial 3rd party for review and report of the emails that have been deleted, and that haven't been deleted.

Yeah...Hillary must be forced to come clean. That's the only way this double-talking BS that she and the Obama administration can be laid to rest.

But I wonder if there are any Hillary-supporting forum members out there who can tell me...have they all been turned over or haven't they all been turned over?
 
If she has to turn over emails then ever single congressman/congresswoman/federal government employee who has ever used a private email account before H.R. 1233 was signed into law should as well.

I'm not seeing them being even able to make that assertion one way or another.

We do have what Hillary already publicly said, which is that she deleted 30,000 emails already, potentially unrecoverable until proven otherwise.

The mere fact that she deleted these 30,000 emails already raises sufficient suspicion of wrong doing to warrant a criminal investigation, to my mind.
 
If she has to turn over emails then ever single congressman/congresswoman/federal government employee who has ever used a private email account before H.R. 1233 was signed into law should as well.

I agree.

But, it appears that Hillary doesn't agree.

Anyway, are you a Hillary supporter? Can you help me by clearing up my confusion?

And I know.... You cant make someone do something when the action many disagree with was perfectly legal... Hell I think she should be forced to turn over her emails, and I think many other should be forced to as well to the national archives.... But I wont sit here and say "ohhh she has to because of the law!", when clearly she doesn't, because the law wasnt in place.

**** no I am not a Hillary supporter.

I have wondered that too if every congress person should make public every private email they have. I do believe if we could read every email and listen to every phone conversation our politicians have made that we would all feel differently toward these gods.

Mornin Grim. :2wave: They also need to start focusing on Hillary's Aids.....oh and Hillary herself knows there is gaps in her email not just over Benghazi. But over Libya.

Also.....lets not forget BO peep knew about this going back to 2013 and sat on it. Time to start focusing on that aspect as well what BO peep is doing with the FOIA. His so called transparency.

Mornin MA. :2wave: I think they need to focus on Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin.....that's where we will find some more dirt that Hillary and the Demos wont be able to sweep under the rug.

Plus we do need to see all communications with Morsi's wife and all that Muslim Brotherhoods BS they fell for. Hill-dog best hope there isn't one email with anything relating to Egypt or Libya in any of those personal emails. Not one statement!

Hillary Clinton and Libyan interrum Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril. Tripoli - October 18, 2011.

The Congressional special committee investigating the Benghazi attack say there are huge gaps in Clinton released emails during her tenure as SoS. For example, there are no emails at all during her 2011 trip to Libya to confer with Libyan officials. None at all? Even for the most charitable, this is difficult to believe.

Mornin Simplexity. :2wave: Yeah in August they asked for the Emails.....2014. They got 8. Then when they pressed and filed more subepnoas in Feb. All of a sudden more show up.

Which is why Gowdy already told Clinton she won't just be testifying about just Benghazi. But about Libya and her policy. Not Bo peeps. Hers and especially with State and security, for all of Libya.

Always was a missing piece of the puzzle and investigations that were done previously.

Then there is the matter of 6 Billion coming up missing with her time at State.
 
And I know.... You cant make someone do something when the action many disagree with was perfectly legal... Hell I think she should be forced to turn over her emails, and I think many other should be forced to as well to the national archives....

Except she DOES have to...BECAUSE of the law.

Sure, she was allowed to use an email account other than the .gov account, but per the law she was required to return everything to the government. She didn't do that. She violated the law. Two years later, when asked, she returns some emails and says she separated hers from the government's. She is not allowed to decide what is hers and what belongs to the government. Again, she violated the law.

Those are her obvious criminal actions. There are other laws she MIGHT have broken...but we won't know if she did UNTIL we find out what is on her server and what she deleted from her server.

So don't make this sound like Hillary is doing everything the right way. She's not. She is deliberately violating the law of the US.

**** no I am not a Hillary supporter.

Trey Gowdy has been requesting information for months from the State, it's an unfortunate turn of events that he had to go this route but he had no choice if they were unwilling to give him all the requested material in a timely fashion. As written in this thread huge gaps in her correspondence - why?

It would seem quite clear that she has something to hide. Also, every politician would fight such an order. I'd like to see the missing Bush era e-mails as well. I hope Gowdy gets what he's looking for.

Naturally you would want to deflect to wanting to see Bush Emails. Its par for the course.

When have you said you wanted to see Hillary's Emails over Benghazi and Libya? What about BO peeps who acknowledges he was emailing Hillary? But can't recall if it said dot gov or just Hillary shootin the ****. Don't you want to see his too?

Its a fact that the Clintons always thought they were above the law.

No, I want to see BOTH. The hypocritical partisans only want to see the democrats missing e-mails. I'm no longer surprised though. It's a daily barrage of hypocrisy and mud slinging against one party, while the trash that also exists in the other party is dismissed, covered up or ignored. Pathetic. And insurance that we'll have more of the same.

Nah, I remembered what we both said.....in the other thread. which we will go round in circles on that.

Although I think you know most would be for ALL Politicians being transparent. Showing all they did. If nothing is wrong, doing nothing wrong. Whats to Hide.
