2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe Inspector General Was Appointed by President Obama. Hillary refused to talk to investigators.
The inspector general has rejected allegations of bias, noting that the scope of the review encompasses secretaries of both parties and that it was undertaken at the direction of Clintons Democratic successor, John F. Kerry. The report includes interviews with Kerry and Powell and former secretaries Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice, but it says that Clinton declined to be interviewed. The inspector general, Steve Linick, was appointed by President Obama and has served since 2013.

(32,324 posts)State Department business.
It's a matter of record that the State Department sent the Laureate Institute monies.
And a matter of record that Bill Clinton was offered an honorarium from that Institute which then gave him some $ 3 million a year, until 2015 when his five years were up and he resigned.
Did HRC oversee the transfer of monies? Did she have emails exchanged with the person or persons at State that made the transfers of monies to the institute?
And did she consider those emails personal, as the end result was to her and Bill's benefit, or did she consider these emails to be part of her job at State?
Curious minds would love to know!

(32,324 posts)And about ten days ago, it was revealed that X trillions of dollars is missing from State. (Can't remember if it was 1 trillion, or as many as 6 trillion. But anyone wondering where the hell they get the money for some of the more outrageous black op programs that have crippled farmers' ability to raise crops across the world, need not wonder any more.)

(344 posts)$6 Billion of Taxpayer $$$$ Missing from Clinton State Dept
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512052074
The report is actually from 2014. I did a search, though, and about 10 days after the first article the new State Dept. IG said:
Some have concluded based on this that $6?billion is missing. The alert, however, did not draw that conclusion. Instead, it found that the failure to adequately maintain contract files documents necessary to ensure the full accounting of U.S. tax dollars creates significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Departments contract actions.
So who knows? At the very least it is another example of a poorly run administration.

(32,324 posts)I have to make sure that the small business I run, that will never have even a quarter of a million, and certainly
never a billion dollars to keep track of, can vouch for every penny I spend.
And yet the People at the Top don't seem to care about billions.

(32,324 posts)I was talking about her decision making abilities, once she made the move to have her own server handle "her" email.
I am not condoning her doing the move to her private server. Rather, I am asking, well, once she did it, how did she decide to hide some of the stuff she needed to hide. The corruption in her public life blends in so totally with the corruption in her private life, how the heck could she decide which is private and which is public?
