5 Times Hillary Clinton Blatantly Lied About Her Emails


The State Department Inspector General’s report about Hillary Clinton’s emails and private server proves Clinton has been blatantly lying to the American people for over a year.

<snip>

Lie #1: The State Department signed off on Clinton’s use of a private server

<snip>

However, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) wrote that Clinton not only ignored proper protocol for recordkeeping, but actively circumvented it by using a private home server to conduct State Department business:

“The Department’s current policy, implemented in 2005, is that normal day-to-day operations should be conducted on an authorized Automated Information System (AIS), which “has the proper level of security control to … ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the resident information.”

Lie #2: Other Secretaries of State did the same thing

In response to the OIG report, Hillary for America national press secretary Brian Fallon tweeted that Clinton’s use of a private server was “not unique,” and Clinton later said that her predecessors had similar recordkeeping practices (a claim PolitiFact debunked with a “mostly false” rating)

<snip>

According to the New York Times, Albright and Rice didn’t use private email accounts to conduct government business. And while Clinton would like to use Colin Powell as an example of a predecessor who adopted similar recordkeeping practices, he used his private email sparingly, whereas Clinton used it exclusively. As Bloomberg View’s Megan McArdle wrote, Powell’s use of a private account was completely transparent. Clinton, on the other hand, told those asking about her private server to stop asking about it immediately.

Powell had an outside line set up in his office, into which he plugged a laptop, which he used alongside his State Department computer. The IT department was, in other words, aware that this was going on, and it seems to have come up in discussions of his drive to get everyone at State access to the Internet at their desk.

While former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice agreed to be interviewed by the OIG for the report, Clinton did not.

Lie #3: Clinton’s private server was never hacked

<snip>

However, the OIG report reveals that Bryan Pagliano, who set up Clinton’s server, had to shut down the server at one point to prevent hackers from accessing its contents. And the New York Times reports that Clinton blatantly ignored multiple briefings and in-person training sessions on cybersecurity:

The department issued numerous warnings dating back a decade about the cybersecurity risks of using personal emails accounts for government business, the report said. Mrs. Clinton was personally sent a memo in 2011 warnings of hackers trying to target unclassified, personal email accounts. She was also given a classified, in-person briefing on the dangers, the report said.

Lie #4: Clinton and her staff cooperated with every step of the investigation

<snip>

Additionally, the OIG found that not only was Team Clinton unwilling to cooperate, but that Clinton wasn’t alone in her use of private email for government business. The Washington Post discovered a section buried in the report that names “four immediate staff members” as having some 72,000 pages of government business archived in their private accounts:

<snip>

And while Clinton eventually agreed to turn over tens of thousands of emails to the public as part of a Freedom of Information Act request, the OIG found that Clinton sent an incomplete package, with months of emails missing from Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State:

Lie #5: Clinton sent no classified material over her private server

On Hillary Clinton’s website, she defends her use of the private server, arguing that no classified emails were ever sent on her home server, claiming she only used her home account for unclassified material. But a Washington Post analysis of Clinton’s email records found that over 100 emails Clinton sent from her home server contained classified information:

<snip>

Additionally, 22 of the emails on Clinton’s server, amounting to seven email chains and 37 pages of hard copy, were later given “top secret” classification by the State Department, meaning they could cause “exceptionally grave” damage to national security if made public.

At one point, Clinton even instructed aide Jake Sullivan to strip a set of talking points of its classified status, and then send the document through a “non-secure” channel after Sullivan told his superior that there were “issues” with sending the document through a secure fax line.

1. At least some of us have critical thinking skills

But the Clinton Hysterics will just ignore this as they do every other one of her lies.

[Hoyt]

2. All of that is debatable. You are trying to make digital equivalent of Jaywalking into some bigger.

You've failed. This way forward is a dead end.

[RDANGELO]

7. Ok then, lets have the debate. Tell us how it is debatable.

[RBInMaine]

3. Thanks for parroting right wing hyped bullshit. Bernie is DONE. Grow up and deal with it.

[JudyM]

9. If that's RW I guess they have the market cornered on the truth.

[SpareribSP]

10. Doesn't it bother you that Hillary obscures, obfuscates, and outright fabricates constantly?

She is earning her historically low trustworthy numbers, and blatant denials of reality like this one just enforce it.

[scscholar]

4. The "Clinton’s private server was never hacked" part isn't a lie

There's no proof it was hacked.

[IdaBriggs]

6. I believe Guccifer and the Russian government beg to differ.

[RDANGELO]

5. I think we should hold our nominee to a higher standard.

Not only has she been exposed in blatant lies. the supposed Democratic nominee for president did not cooperate with an inspector generals investigation.

[HooptieWagon]

8. She and her top staff all refused to cooperate.

It's looking like this is less to do with keeping yoga appointments secret, and more with keeping the State Dept => Foundation conduit secret. Those quid pro quos not only disqualify her to be president, they also land her in prison.
