AP FACT CHECK: Clinton misstates key facts in email episode

[NWCorona]

"ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Over the months, Hillary Clinton misstated key facts about her use of private email and her own server for her work as secretary of state, the department's inspector general reported this week.

According to the findings, she claimed approval she didn't have and declined to be interviewed for the report despite saying "I'm more than ready to talk to anybody anytime." Scrutiny of her unusual email practices appeared to be unwelcome, despite her contention those practices were well known and "fully above board."

A look at some of Clinton's past claims about her unusual email set-up and how they compare with the inspector general's findings:

CLINTON: "The system we used was set up for President Clinton's office. And it had numerous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches." - March 2015 press conference.

THE REPORT: Evidence emerged of hacking attempts, though it's unclear whether they were successful.

On Jan. 9, 2011, an adviser to former President Bill Clinton notified the State Department's deputy chief of staff for operations that he had to shut down the server because he suspected "someone was trying to hack us and while they did not get in i didnt (sic) want to let them have the chance to."

Later that day, he sent another note. "We were attacked again so I shut (the server) down for a few min."

The following day the deputy chief emailed top Clinton aides and instructed them not to email the secretary "anything sensitive."

Also in May 2011, Clinton told aides that someone was "hacking into her email," after she received a message with a suspicious link, the new audit report said.

The Associated Press has previously reported that, according to detailed records compiled in 2012, Clinton's server was connected to the internet in ways that made it more vulnerable to hackers. It appeared to allow users to connect openly over the internet to control it remotely.

Moreover, it's unclear what protection her email system might have achieved from having the Secret Service guard the property. Digital security breaches tend to come from computer networks, not over a fence."

[juxtaposed]

1. I think she said her email servere was hit by snipper fire when she was logging into

AOL-mail

13. I saw that, lol

It was when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor

[roguevalley]

18. 'misspeak' ... a liar's word for lying

[floriduck]

2. Now THERE'S a surprise.

[pdsimdars]

3. What a great line . . . . .

4. That was good!

[gordianot]

5. I wonder what would happen if all of this came out simultaneously?

All for a self made disaster.

[grasswire]

6. we now know...

...thanks to creepy Dick Morris, the identity of the young man who unplugged the server to stop hackers.

He is Justin Cooper, a personal aide to Bill Clinton. Never been a government employee. No security clearance.

7. And that will cause some serious waves.

[NWCorona]

9. And those hacks happened while she was traveling abroad!

Oh man the hole keeps getting bigger and bigger.

[grasswire]

11. sigh yes nt

[Bob41213]

16. It's a good thing the Secret Security agent was there to guard the door.

[NWCorona]

17. Yup!

[KoKo]

19. very interesting....

He quotes from the "IG Report." And, this is the first I've seen this mentioned. What is the MSM covering up? They got the report in advance just like Congress...yet there's been no discussion (that I've seen) reported about this.

I've gotta make time this weekend to read that report!

[Alex4Martinez]

8. "We were attacked again so I shut (the server) down for a few min."

This is why having a home server lacking clear permissions, safeguards, and oversight is such a shitty and potentially world changing brainfart.

[grasswire]

10. that's Bill Clinton's personal aide.

No training at all.

[Alex4Martinez]

12. Presumable had full access to the server, the accounts, and all the data therein.

Sounds like a Mayberry, North Carolina, level thing going on there.

Good grief.

[grasswire]

14. yep

Something else, too. The Clintons are reportedly paying his legal bills.


This other aide mentioned by Dick Morris. Doug Band. Bill's right hand man. There was quite a spread on this guy some years ago. He eventually fell from favor because he was selling access to Bill for his own profit, and making a huge amount of money from it.

He might be a weak point for the FBI probe.

[tabasco]

15. Sometimes, it's just better to admit you fucked up.

But we all know someone like H. Clinton, who lacks the courage to admit a mistake.

It's usually the lying and covering-up that blows these things up.

[RBInMaine]

21. This story is media hype and bullshit. Is this all you have? Bernie is DONE. Deal with it.

[scscholar]

22. This

It's all desperate grasping at straws.

[catnhatnh]

35. For Christ Sake-It's an AP fact check

when you confuse AP with a scorched earth policy you have truly reached the bottom of the denial barrel...

[Marr]

43. God, will you pull your fingers out of your ears, please?

This is the kind of thing that sinks a candidate. People have been telling you this for more than a year.

[Jitter65]

25. She did that already. It doesn't matter. She can tell the truth and it doesn't matter she can lie

and it still doesn't matter because her detractors will neither believe her truth or lies. So much BS when Hillary is concerned. If only the left could be as united as the right. No matter what, they will stick together to achieve their ends. Case in point: Donald Trump!

[TimPlo]

26. Yea if only people on left would except

corruption like the many on Right have done.

[RBInMaine]

20. AP is Fox News in print. Please find more SHIT to share here.

[NWCorona]

23. Someone is up in their emotions.

Every news site carries AP content.

[grasswire]

24. AP is the wire service of record for the U.S.

The AP reporter is the first reporter called on in every WH briefing, under Democrats and Republicans.

You just don't know what you are talking about.

[Duval]

27. +1 nt

[KoKo]

37. ..! There are some really uninformed people around these days...

[TimPlo]

28. As two poster above said

AP is a distributor of news that is used in millions of newspapers around the world. At newspaper I worked for we use to get and submit many articles to them. about 65% of local paper is AP wire. It is very telling how much you just want to argue sources if calling AP a fox news in print. So now any post you make and many of of us see it we will be thinking "This is the clown who thinks AP is some Right wing news outlet."

[Marr]

46. I've often suspected that Hillary fan's dismissal of certain sources and writers

were based on nothing but pro-Hillary sentiment, and they actually had no familiarity at all with those sources. This pretty much confirms it for me.

[JonLeibowitz]

33. How embarrassing for you to have said this.

[jonmac511]

42. and very telling! wow, just wow.

[TheFarS1de]

39. Seriously ?

No wonder you seem so misinformed .......

[Marr]

45. Jesus Christ.

"The AP is Fox News in print". Next you'll be saying the weather has an anti-Hillary bias.

[lmbradford]

30. Not right wing attacks either

This is Obamas IG under the direction of the State Dept that John Kerry now leads. How is this right wing?

[TimPlo]

47. Well if you are on Pennsylvania Ave

Then the West Wing is on right side so At least Obama is Right Wing when sitting in Oval Office.

[TheSarcastinator]

31. "misstakes" = "lies habitually"

Hindenburg Hillary screws up again!

[cherokeeprogressive]

32. If no "sensitive" information ever made its way to or from her server, why the admonition?

Why would people need to be told not to send her anything "sensitive"?

[Broward]

34. So, she lied...again.

[TimPlo]

48. No Hillary never lies

She misspoke..

[AzDar]

36. K & R

[John Poet]

38. Lies kept a rollin'
