Hillary Clinton Admits Classified Information Was Stored On Home Server

Tyler Durden's picture




 

"What, with a cloth or something?," Democratic frontrunner (for now anyway) Hillary Clinton said earlier this week, in a sarcastic and fairly condescending reply to a reporter who pressed her on whether she had attempted to wipe her private e-mail server clean before turning it over to the FBI. 

That was the second time in a week that Clinton has attempted to deflect questions about the server with a dark mix of humor and disdain, and it’s backfired both times.

When Clinton first handed over the server along with a thumb drive, an attorney for the Colorado-based company that managed Clinton's private e-mail said the server the FBI got "is blank and does not contain any useful data." That only exacerbated GOP lawmakers’ aggravation and may well have cost Clinton in the polls, as the socialist Bernie Sanders surged ahead in New Hampshire. 

Subsequently, reports surfaced that an audit of the e-mails the former First Lady turned over to the State Department revealed that at least two e-mails may have contained top secret information about the CIA’s drone program.

With the controversy unlikely to dissipate any time soon, and with many analysts claiming that the issue could well imperil her run for The White House, Clinton has now admitted that in fact, her private server did contain classified e-mails. Here’s the story from WSJ:

Hillary Clinton’s campaign said Wednesday that emails on the private server she used when she was secretary of state contained material that is now classified, the clearest explanation thus far of an issue that has roiled her bid for the presidency.

 

At the same time, the campaign sought to play down the disclosure by saying the material had been retroactively classified out of an abundance of caution by U.S. intelligence agencies.

 

“She was at worst a passive recipient of unwitting information that subsequently became deemed as classified,” said Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton’s campaign.

 


 

Mrs. Clinton has been criticized for using a private email server when she was in office. Since 2013, the server was maintained by a small Denver company and stored at a secure data center in New Jersey until it was turned over to the FBI last week. Her use of the server has prompted an FBI counterintelligence investigation.

 

Republicans portrayed the Clinton campaign’s disclosure as a tacit admission that her previous statements about the partisan direction of the investigation were in error. Earlier this year, Mrs. Clinton said “there is no classified material,” before shifting her emphasis to say she didn’t receive any materials marked as classified.

 

“Secretary Clinton has repeatedly made false claims about her email records, and her charge that these investigations are partisan have been widely ridiculed. If she and her campaign are having a change of heart, she should personally admit the truth and retract her false statements,” said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner.

While it's certainly disconcerting that the nation's one-time top diplomat was sending and receiving sensitive information over an unsecure private e-mail server, the issue for Clinton - because it would probably be naive to think that anyone besides voters will actually hold her accountable - is that her handling of the ordeal has served to reinforce the perception that she's too arrogant and untrustworthy to be given the reins to the country.

That is, the public was already wary of electing yet another member of America's political aristocracy (or oligarchy, if you will) and the fact that Clinton apparently expects Americans to believe that she had no idea the information she was receiving on her home server might one day be deemed classified (even though she's been privy to such information in various capacities for decades) seems to underscore her arrogance and highlight her propsensity to, as Jean Claude-Juncker famously put it, lie when "things become serious."

There will be hearings, hand waving and a huge public kerfuffle.

But in the end, there will be NO LEGAL JEOPARDY for Hillary.

She has the goods on Barry and others.

There is no chance of her becoming the Dem candidate, let alone the HNIC.

But actual legal jeopardy, no chance.

She will be pardoned before it gets that far.

For sure! Just like when HW Bush was under investigation for Iran-Contra and got indicted and thrown out of the presidential race back in 88. Oh, wait....
Er, just like Bushmonkey got caught lying about war and covering up the truth of 911. Oh wait....

Just like McStain, er, I mean Nixon, er...

Never mind. Hard to understand why folks are partisan these days. Dummycraps, Repugnicants. What difference does it make?

Oh--well there's Jeb and the stories of the Mexican drug cartels. Of course those can't be true and wouldn't be nearly as important as Hitlery's server. Well...

The wonders of the occultist dialectic enforced on us by the media and by those who have to believe in partisanship.

Surely, surely, if Hitlery the Illuminaughty, Grande Damme will lose, surely, we will all be saved.

By Jeb. Or The Donald (who wants Snowden killed). Fun times. Gosh, I hope Hitlery gets prosecuted and thrown out of the race. America would be saved.

Snicker snicker. 

Just ask Bertha Champagne how great a Bush brother in the WH would be.

"After they were criticized for taking $190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them when they left, the Clintons announced last week that they would pay for $86,000 worth of gifts, or nearly half the amount."

Who gives a damn about Hillary and her stupid server? Only a statist would care about whether or not classified information was on it. I certainly don't because the state has no right to secrecy. What I care about is how all of us are being robbed through direct taxation authorized by the feckless constitution. All of us have our money debased daily by fractional reserve banking practices and debt based currency. The war over HRC's server and emails is a distraction from the more important issues which not one republican or democrat is addressing.

Hitlery a passive recipient of unwitting information? Seems like someone is telling a bit of a fib or possibly too stupid to be able to dress herself in the morning.

In any regards, storing information wittingly or unwittingly on a private server when you are supposed to know what should be classified and what should not be classified (and the Secretary of State of all persons should know) is a crime. She should be prosecuted and put in prison or executed for treason after a fair trial (oh wait that would be for violating Article 9 of the constitution for accepting large sums of money from foreign powers).

And according to the lifers at Foggy Bottom, she is one short and curly away from a whistleblower suit, conflict of interest with her lawyers and the lawyers at state.

The FBI has no discretion on what it investigates.

Zero.

The only things they look into are those that the resident US Attorney tells them to look into.

The resident US Attorney only looks into things that the Attoney General at the head of the Justice Department authorizes them to look into.

The Justice Department only looks into the things that the President either permits or orders them to look into.

I think Hillary is being "persuaded" to have health issues that will not permit her to run this cycle. If she insists on remaining healthy, she will find herself running from the Big House and not for the White House.

The squeeze, for the moment, is a gentle one that is designed to encourage her to go away without damaging the propsects of the eventual Democratic nominee. But she is not one to take the hint so the volume is likely to get turned up.

The media will of course choose her over any Republican, but the concept of getting Princess Warren into the race is one that they would sell, okay re-mortgage, their souls for and the prospect is slowly percolating that it may prove possible with a little help from media freinds.

As I've said before-- No Jeb, no Hillary.

It's going to be Biden because he is already an honorary member of the Obama crime family.  Given his time as VP they believe they can trust him to look after their interests and his campaign will be managed by the Obama crime family and his administration filled with members of the Obama crime family.  They can't have the same certainty with other outsiders such as Warren.

The Obamaites have no interest in the Democrat party as such, just in their own crime family and its ability to use the Democrat party.

If the emails were "subsequently" made classified and were still on her server, then she had classified emails on her server. What's so hard to understand?

Think there won't be any question by anyone that the emails contain classified info. The plea appears to be one of innocent ignorance. In other words the inability to manage or secure classified information entrusted to you as the nations top diplomat. I don't think this will end well for her.

The emails are automatically classified based on their content.  It does not require someone to attach a "TS" or other classified label to it.

The only defense is ignorance, i.e. being unable to recognize that release of that info might harm the interests of the United States.  If that's her defense and it turns out there are thousands of these emails, as seems likely, she is admitting she has absolutely no capacity to recognize information whose release could harm US interests.  In which case she never should have been SoS and certainly never should be president.

So her choice is between "I'm traitorous scum" and "I'm a booby not fit to clean toilets in a defense establishment".

Hillary the Evil One sold and delivered classified information, by storing them on her email server, to state and non-state adversaries of the United States. She deserves the same or worse punishment as other traitors have received.

'Do not vote for Hillary': NJ woman makes last request in obit

 

A New Jersey woman used her obituary to make one last political plea, urging mourners not to vote for Hillary Clinton.

Elaine Fydrych, who died Aug. 13 at the age of 63 after a long battle with lung cancer, included the unconventional request at the end of her obituary telling those who wished to honor her memory:

“Elaine requests, 'In lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Hillary Clinton.’” 

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/08/19/do-not-vote-for-hillary-nj-woman-makes-unusual-request-in-obit/

 

"The more she found out about Hillary, the more she didn’t like her and thought it would be a complete catastrophe if the U.S. elected her president," her husband said.

“She was at worst a passive recipient of unwitting information that subsequently became deemed as classified,”

 

What typical bullshit political spin this is. She was Secretary of State, not president of the PTA. She should have assumed 90% of her correspondence in that capacity was potentially classified. Otherwise she was totally incompentent in the job. And, if she can’t handle SOS, I sure as hell don’t want her to be President.

Hillary’s cavlier attitude and mishandling of classified information is bad enough. But, I get the feeling it’s the content of her personal emails she is really trying to hide. I bet they show many examples of her stabbing her supporters and colleagues in the back when she no longer needed them, or when she could sacrifice them for a bigger opportunity that came along. She’s always been burning her candles at both ends and the middle too. Trust this woman at your peril Democrats. You’ve been warned.

And seriously..thats what  happens when you use those cheap one ply toilet wipes. I can smell the stench from here.

With the server based in Florida, a major military spring board to all great things military and Intelligence wtf does she expect? She may as well as have yodeled for a crowd..how phucking  dumb can she play..just use that Snowden  prg for parallel evidence processing and NSA doesnt even have to let on it knew all the time and let the locals take care of it. She is toast..

the Owl club must have given their nod  of approval  cuz  there aint enough wipes on the planet nor a plunger big enough to help unstop it either.

What a great ending!

EXCLUSIVE: Top executive at Hillary's server company was sued for 'fraud' after 'receiving proceeds' from $500m Ponzi scheme run by Backstreet Boys impresario

    Platte River Networks maintained 'home brew' server Clinton used while Secretary of State
    This week the embattled Democratic White House frontrunner handed it over to FBI after ultra-secret material found in tiny sample of emails
    Daily Mail Online can reveal David DeCamillis of Platte River Networks was director of firm run by Lou Pearlman, who ran $500m Ponzi scheme
    Pearlman was jailed in 2008 and documents show that DeCamillis was sued for 'fraud' by bankruptcy trustee
    Federal court documents show he was accused of several counts of fraud and receiving $1.5m in payments from cash traceable to duped investors
    Disclosure raises questions what background checks - if any - were made on firm which handled server containing ultra-sensitive secrets

I love the use of the term UNWITTING.  Do we need a president who does dangerous stuff, but unwittingly?

Like believing everything President Cheney said about weapons of mass destruction resulting in her voting in support of the Iraq War?  Doesn't unwitting mean sorta like witless?

I came across this...

"Clinton said she wiped her server clean after handing over the 30,000 emails she deemed official State Department records, and Clinton’s camp has maintained that none of her emails from that period — including another 32,000 or so she had erased — are on the server."

Forget all this "classified/not classified" shit...Has anyone noticed the numbers here? In this paragraph alone we are talking about 62,000 emails...62 THOUSAND!

Who DOES that? Who CAN do that? What kind of lunatic writes and sends 62,000 emails? Sounds like someone in a full-blown manic phase meltdown...

I don't care whether it was classified or not...I just want to know what it is she had to say that took 62,000 emails to express. And how she was able to even do her job when she was apparently spending 20 hours a day just writing emails...

And I want to know how she did it. Was she typing in her sleep? Are there 'extra Hillary's' slaving away 24/7 in a bunker somewhere? Or was she just email-bombing anyone and everyone she knew?..."Hi! Thought you'd get a laugh out of this..."

How does she still have fingers after that?

Amazing.
