Republicans Blast Hillary: "Not Even Nixon Destroyed The Tapes"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As reported yesterday, the Hillary emailgate scandal took a turn for the worse and far more dramatic yesterday, when it was reported that not only did the former Secretary of State delete selected emails which in her opinion were "personal", but that she then decided to wipe her home-server clean, a server which it is still unknown why she used when the US government itself was perfectly happy to host her email communication on far more secure, if FOIA-accessible, servers.

But what's far worse than Clinton arbitrarily wiping any trace of her actions and demanding that the people take her word, is when she did it. This is what we said:

The key question is when said server formatting took place. This appears to have taken place after the first production request had come in, which means that Clinton may well be guilty of destruction of evidence. He said while it’s “not clear precisely when Secretary Clinton decided to permanently delete all emails from her server, it appears she made the decision after October 28, 2014, when the Department of State for the first time asked the Secretary to return her public record to the Department.”

Today the answer was revealed, when it became clear that Clinton indeed is guilty of Contempt of Congress (not to mention the American people), after Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall, reportedly told House investigators that after aides determined which emails were private and which were government-related, an account setting was changed to only save emails sent in the past 60 days, adding the setting was changed after she responded to the records request.

Said simply, Clinton deleted everything after she was expressly told to not only preserve the data but hand it over.

And, as expected, the GOP is about to have a field day thanks to Hillary herself, whose actions have made her an easy comp to none other than than the most disgraced US president in recent history, Richard Nixon himself. From the Hill:

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus blasted Hillary Clinton on Saturday for wiping her server and permanently deleting all emails. 

 

"Even Nixon didn't destroy the tapes," Priebus said in a statement.

 

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the committee, said in a statement Friday that "Clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all emails from her personal server." Gowdy, whose committee had subpoenaed the server earlier this month, charged that Clinton apparently decided to delete her emails after Oct. 28, 2014, when the State Department first asked her to turn over public records.

Clinton's lawyer explained it very simply: "it's all gone."

“Thus, there are no hdr22@clintonemail.com emails from Secretary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of State on the server for any review, even if such review were appropriate or legally authorized,” Kendall said in a letter to Gowdy's committee, according to The New York Times.

However, the GOP has smelled blood and itsn't going to give up easily: "Republicans are likely to keep up their attacks on Clinton over the emails heading into her official declaration of a 2016 presidential campaign, which is expected in weeks. Priebus on Saturday echoed calls from Republican lawmakers for Clinton to turn over her server.

"It's imperative an independent third party review the server immediately. Unless Mrs. Clinton went to extreme lengths to wipe this server, there are ways to recover this data," Priebus said.

Of course Clitnton went to "extreme lengths"... but it was in the spirit of transparency and accountability. Just like with Lois Lerner's emails.

Incidentally, those wondering what the next steps are, a reminder that non-compliance with a Congressional subpoena falls under the "Contempt of Congress" umbrella, an act which since the passage of an 1857 law has made it a criminal offense against the United States.

Some more details from Wikipedia:

Following a contempt citation, the presiding officer of the chamber is instructed to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia; according to the law it is the "duty" of the U.S. Attorney to refer the matter to a grand jury for action.

 

The criminal offense of "contempt of Congress" sets the penalty at not less than one month nor more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000.

It gets even more complicated:

While the law pronounces the duty of the U.S. Attorney is to impanel a grand jury for its action on the matter, some proponents of the unitary executive theory believe that the Congress cannot properly compel the U.S. Attorney to take this action against the Executive Branch, asserting that the U.S. Attorney is a member of the Executive Branch who ultimately reports only to the President and that compelling the U.S. Attorney amounts to compelling the President himself. They believe that to allow Congress to force the President to take action against a subordinate following his directives would be a violation of the separation of powers and infringe on the power of the Executive branch. The legal basis for this belief, they contend, can be found in Federalist 49, in which James Madison wrote “The several departments being perfectly co-ordinate by the terms of their common commission, none of them, it is evident, can pretend to an exclusive or superior right of settling the boundaries between their respective powers.” This approach to government is commonly known as "departmentalism” or “coordinate construction.”

In the end, it may be an executive decision by Obama himself that will be needed to avoid a humiliating and lengthy legal process into Clinton's actions. Which, considering the unprecedented animosity between the Obama and Clinton camps in recent months - recall that it was Valerie Jarrett who leaked the emails in the first place - is hardly a given, and Valerie Jarrett may just end up having the final laugh.

But the best summary bar none of the farce that is modern day US politics is the following:

Repubs and Dems are both going after Hillary.  Repubs don't want a potential conservative to win, otherwise they wouldn't attack her yet, it's too early to do this before the primaries.  Dems don' want hillary to run, they want to take her out at the primaries, both sides of the establishment want Elisabeth Warren to run.  Warren is being set up as the antibanker progressive candidate, she's more leftist, more pro big-gov than even Barry.  She's a win-win for the establishment.

"Governor Mitt Romney did something similar when he vacated his office in Massachuestts."

The article you cited also states:

Massachusetts Secretary of State William F. Galvin, a Democrat, pointed out that in 1997 that the Supreme Judicial Court ruled that “the governor is not explicitly included’’ in the Public Records Law. He said that means that e-mails don’t have to be released to the public.

Just before leaving office, Romney’s staff went before the Records Conservation Board, which is made up of appointees from various state agencies and reviews public record retention. In some cases, the Romney administration was given permission to destroy records, Galvin said, oftentimes because they were redundant."

Officials from the two prior administrations of governors, Paul Cellucci and Jane Swift, could not be reached leaving it unclear whether their aides took similar actions regarding hard drives, e-mails, and computer servers.

President Obama who campaigned for a more “open government” and “full disclosure” will not unseal his medical records, his school records, his birth records or his passport records. He will not release his Harvard records, his Columbia College records, or his Occidental College records—he will not even release his Columbia College thesis. All his legislative records from the Illinois State Senate are missing and he claims his scheduling records during those State Senate years are lost as well. In addition, no one can find his school records for the elite K-12 college prep school, Punahou School, he attended in Hawaii.

A nation-wide network of researchers has sprung up to attempt to fill in the blanks, but at every opportunity Obama’s high-priced lawyers have built walls around various records or simply made them disappear. It is estimated that Obama’s legal team has spent millions of dollars blocking access to documents every American should have access to.

Hillary knows exactly what the legal penalties for her actions are supposed to be because she was personally instrumental in forging the impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon for a very similar offence..

The rank and file of both parties whould be just as willing to prosecute here as they were Nixon if they gave a flying fuck about 'the law'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Rodham_Clinton

 

"In 1974 she was a member of the impeachment inquiry staff in Washington, D.C., advising the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal.[56] 

Under the guidance of Chief Counsel John Doar and senior member Bernard Nussbaum,[37] Rodham helped research procedures of impeachment and the historical grounds and standards for impeachment.[56] The committee's work culminated in the resignation of President Richard Nixon in August 1974.[56] "

Nixon had already been accused or at least suspected of impeachable offenses before the tapes were revealed.

Hillary Clinton was one of the attorneys on the Watergate Commission.  She was fired from the job because she unethically leaked information.  However, i have always believed that that experience investigating Nixon laid the basis for all of the Clinton activeties since.  Don't ever let someone find the smoking gun.  Deny, Deny, Deny.  Erase, Erase, Erase. 

What she learned was that IF Nixon had actually erased all of the tapes he would not have had to leave office.

What crap. This article presents the situation as if Hillary personally deleted evrything off of a server...a fucking server? Seriously??

She probably needs help to turn on a computer. There is no way in hell she ever did anything to this server. A server is not a computer. You need an admin/ engineer with the technical expertise to setup and maintain the server. I gauran frickin tee you that whoever administrated this server backed it up. And likely backed it up in multiple ways. The data exists somewhere. I cannot fathom that whoever was tasked with setting up and maintaining this server did not back it up. You don't delete a server...you archive it's data contents. You then reload, repurpose, recycle it. You don't just delete a server. The stupidity of this article is mind boggling.

Really?  Hillary didn't bug anyone, she just got rid of sensitive correspondence, that she didn't want to end up in the public domain.  I'm sure plenty of presidents and politicians have done exactly that.

Next up, surely the life long slave owner, George Washington, is more of a disgrace and an embarrassment to US citizens?

Extreme lengths to wipe the data?  Any semi-computer literate person can boot the server with DBAN, initiate a DoD wipe of the server disks that not even the NSA could recover. Their best bet is to go after any backups of the data, failed hard drives that may have previously been replaced, or communications partners. If they knew she exchanged email with someone else, get those servers.

Her recent visit to the WH was to establish, face to face with Haman himself, that she had committed a crime to back _us_ up (you know, the Banghazi thingy that just won't go away, among other items), and a certain president owed a pardon to her, to be cashed in event of Congress actually becoming a representative of the people.

Perhaps HRC has just downloaded the drive contents onto a removable storage device, holding the leverage on BHO, while ostensibly having erased the contents to keep Congress wondering.
