ORIGIN OF KEY CLINTON EMAILS FROM REPORT ARE A MYSTERY

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- A key email from Hillary Clinton to a top State Department aide in 2010 expressing worry that her personal messages could become "accessible" to outsiders is cited in a new inspector general's report on her emails. But Clinton did not turn over that particular email, which was later obtained by the investigators.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee was supposed to have turned over all work-related emails to the State Department for public release. Yet the agency's watchdog found three emails never seen before - including Clinton's explanation for why she wanted her emails kept private and details of hacking attempts on her personal computer server.

The existence of the messages renews concerns that Clinton was not completely forthcoming when she turned over work-related emails to the State Department."

This email is a proverbial smoking gun and is ready huge news! Maybe it was provided by the FBI as they have established a working agreement. It pertains directly to the OIG Audit.

that agencies are passing the deleted emails around and now quoting from them is very bad development

11. More about finding the e-mails from the article:

The report said the inspector general was able to reconstruct some of Clinton's missing emails by searching the email files of four former Clinton aides who had turned over thousands of pages of communications in 2015 at the request of the State Department, which is defending itself in multiple public records lawsuits, including one filed by The Associated Press. The four aides who turned over those files, according to the report, were Clinton's former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, and top aides Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan and Philippe Reines.

Abedin was the aide who authored the key email in November 2010 that provoked Clinton's concerns about outsiders obtaining her personal emails. After the State Department's computer spam filters apparently prevented Clinton from sending a message to all department employees from her private server, Abedin suggested that she either open an official agency email or make her private address available to the agency.

Clinton told Abedin she was open to getting a separate email address but didn't want "any risk of the personal being accessible." Clinton never used an official State Department address, only using several private addresses to communicate. Abedin, Mills, Sullivan and Reines all also used private email addresses to conduct business, along with their government accounts.

3. It is very difficult for DOJ not to prosecute her... If trump wins, he will prosecute AG Lynch

she's doing a terrible job. The wide coverage of this proves she isn't.

Account. Did I mention the internal rules forbid the use of the cloud? It is in the report kids.

15. Remember the other week when Obama said "As far as I know" in relation to the email issues ?

Well, I suspect he knew what he didn't know because it was left unsaid with exquisite care.

19. Interesting choice of words by Obama

.....when addressing the whole Clinton email controversy, recently.

"As far as I know."


Those are the same words Hillary Clinton used in March, 2008, when she was asked whether she thought Obama was a Muslim.

“You said you'd take Senator Obama at his word that he's not…a Muslim. You don't believe that he's…,” Kroft said.

“No. No, there is nothing to base that on. As far as I know,” she said.



So when, again, did the birtherism eruption begin?


Just noticing.

I wonder just how pissed he is to know she was giving him the finger by using Blumenthal, among other things.

17. Three e-mails (not work related but about personal e-mails) out of 55,000? And this is all you have

What on earth are we talking about? Why is talking about "personal e-mails" work related?
