203. No, Mills wasn't working for the US when the private server was set up -- in 2008,

Wed May 11, 2016, 05:31 AM

May 2016

during Hillary's campaign.

She was only working for Hillary (and in a part-time job at NYU till May 2009, when she began her job as Chief of Staff at the State Dept.) So the legal advice she gave her in 2008 and early 2009 would all fall under attorney-client privilege.

It would be nice if anyone ever thought about getting basic facts before attacking Hillary. The FBI wanted to ask questions about how the server was set up, but this happened before Mills came to State, so the answers clearly fell under attorney-client privilege. But no one bothered to check the facts before gleefully jumping on this.

The hate is so obvious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton_email_controversy

The domains were pointed to a private email server that Clinton (who never had a state.gov email account) used to send and receive email, and which was purchased and installed in the Clintons' home for her 2008 presidential campaign.

Before becoming Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills worked for Clinton on an unpaid basis for four month while also working for New York University

Clinton aide reported to have walked out of FBI interview [View all] w4rma May 2016 OP

there is no attorney client privilege with Mills and Clinton. grasswire May 2016 #1

Yeah this explanation makes no sense. Cheryl Mills is an advisor and confidant, not counsel. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #16

yep nt grasswire May 2016 #46

The original WA Post story said Mills was counsel to Clinton, and the FBI pnwmom May 2016 #62

Uh, no. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #72

Funny the part of the sentence that you not-so-cleverly left out. pnwmom May 2016 #74

The part I left out is irrelevant to the question of whether; it is why I left it out. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #92

I give up. You win. pnwmom May 2016 #99

there IS NO attorney client privilege between Mills and Clinton. nt grasswire May 2016 #107

So you keep saying, on the basis of zero evidence -- and as contradicted by the WA Post. pnwmom May 2016 #112

There is until a judge rules there isn't. nt msanthrope May 2016 #140

After watching all this hyper-ventilating, pnwmom May 2016 #209

Good analysis and fact-finding! nt msanthrope May 2016 #252

Thank you! pnwmom May 2016 #253

Mills has been the Clintons's family attorney since the 1990's. pnwmom May 2016 #163

Wrong. The FBI wanted to talk about the private server, and THAT was set up in 2008 pnwmom May 2016 #198

She was not Hill's counsel, she worked for her as an employee of the State Dept. cui bono May 2016 #179

She was both her personal attorney and worked for the State Dept. as a manager. pnwmom May 2016 #180

Well isn't that convenient. I guess they saw this coming and knew they were doing something wrong. cui bono May 2016 #181

The WA Post article says that after Cheryl cited attorney-client privilege, those questions pnwmom May 2016 #183

Well she walked out. Hard to question someone when they're not in the room. cui bono May 2016 #184

That's perfectly normal behavior in a legal interview. She and her attorney stepped out of the room pnwmom May 2016 #186

It is exactly the "behavior" that any attorney would recommend onenote May 2016 #232

I guess conflict of interest got thrown out by Hillary when she worked in the State Dept. cui bono May 2016 #288

The private server was set-up in 2008 so any advice about the set-up would be covered. pnwmom May 2016 #294

Well that is a good thing. But that doesn't cover the usage of it when it was up and running. cui bono May 2016 #318

She didn't take on Mills "again." Mills was involved in the events under discussion, pnwmom May 2016 #319

"Again" meaning as her attorney. Or are you stating that she was Hillary's attorney while a govt cui bono May 2016 #321

She was her private attorney during the period when the private server was set up, when the decision pnwmom May 2016 #323

It appears you've managed to miss the dozen or so posts explaining why there is no conflict onenote May 2016 #298

Yes, and she is answering questions about the time when she was a govt employee cui bono May 2016 #310

Your comment makes zero sense onenote May 2016 #313

So you believe that she should not speak about anything that happened during her time as a govt cui bono May 2016 #317

The articles say that the Justice Department and the attorney pnwmom May 2016 #320

No. I said exactly the opposite. onenote May 2016 #324

What's significant isn't whether her conversation w/HRC was privileged, it's that the FBI asked her leveymg May 2016 #221

No, that's not significant. Mills was doing her job as an attorney, the job she was sworn to do, pnwmom May 2016 #223

This incident points out one thing: HRC doesn't want the FBI to go there. The FBI does. She lost, leveymg May 2016 #282

No conclusion can be drawn from the fact that the attorney asserted attorney-client pnwmom May 2016 #291

It is so sad to see how folks are throwing important protections afforded to those being questioned onenote May 2016 #303

They think that legal rights should only apply to their fav people. pnwmom May 2016 #304

Uh, yes. Kinda weird that you did not reference the WaPo story, but went with selectively synergie May 2016 #101

the WaPo is not the determiner of any attorney client privilege!! grasswire May 2016 #109

Oh, but YOU are! pnwmom May 2016 #113

show me some proof grasswire May 2016 #115

I showed you evidence. You just keep making completely unsupported claims. n/t pnwmom May 2016 #117

evidence????? grasswire May 2016 #124

You've now had two licensed attorneys on this thread tell you you're wrong on privilege. msanthrope May 2016 #201

Privilege isn't the issue. It's what HRC knew and when did she know it. leveymg May 2016 #222

Mills invoked privilege, not Hillary. And when she did that Mills was doing the job pnwmom May 2016 #225

Exactly. She talked to her client and her client didn't want her to go there. Who is her client? leveymg May 2016 #228

I have shown that Mills had a legal obligation to protect attorney-client privilege. pnwmom May 2016 #243

Think again. She would have an obligation to discuss her testimony with her client before being leveymg May 2016 #251

The attorney had the legal obligation to inform her client about attorney client privilege, pnwmom May 2016 #295

The "proof" is in the WaPo article, you are not correct. You made an assertion synergie May 2016 #157

laughing heartily at your silly authoritarian nonsense. grasswire May 2016 #158

Cheryl will have her day in court. And I doubt it will be pretty. floriduck May 2016 #136

yes grasswire May 2016 #138

Believe, or desperately hope? Justice May 2016 #145

Do I want anyone indicted? grasswire May 2016 #149

Obama obviously doesn't think she was insubordinate or arrogant, pnwmom May 2016 #193

Why? Hillary set up the private server in 2008, before she came to State. So Mills pnwmom May 2016 #199

It's not when the server was purchased, it's when Hillary started using it for official DOS business leveymg May 2016 #224

That would be when Hillary arrived at State. And any advice Cheryl gave her in the first pnwmom May 2016 #227

You're missing the point. Mills discussed with HRC the NSA warnings about the Blackberry. HRC leveymg May 2016 #244

Mills's employment with State didn't begin till May 2009. n/t pnwmom May 2016 #296

She advised Hillary on the NSA warning about using her Blackberry in February leveymg May 2016 #300

Thank you for showing that this would have been covered by attorney-client privilege pnwmom May 2016 #301

Thank you for making my basic point: the FBI is investigating HRC and her attorneys for setting up leveymg May 2016 #311

Did anyone other than you suggest they were. The sources asserted that there were synergie May 2016 #156

Here's the kicker Perogie May 2016 #128

Yep. It seems that they knew they were doing something very wrong and put things in place to try to cui bono May 2016 #187

I tend to agree; Isn't this what the Mafia does -- they hire a lawyer as a confidant/advisor JonLeibowitz May 2016 #189

And didn't Hillary have a campaign ad that mimicked the Sopranos? cui bono May 2016 #190

They're all lawyers. This tactic is as old as Washington, and it is routinely pierced leveymg May 2016 #226

What you missed was that the private server was set up at the Clinton's home pnwmom May 2016 #200

The scope of the privilege covers when she was Clinton's attorney. onenote May 2016 #236

She's still Clinton's attorney. pnwmom May 2016 #250

She was her attorney. Then she wasn't (when she was Chief of Staff) and now she is again onenote May 2016 #267

Yes. And it's discouraging to see so-called progressives acting like Ken Starr pnwmom May 2016 #269

Mills was Clinton's chief of staff at State Yo_Mama May 2016 #159

She has been the Clinton's personal attorney since the 1990's. And still is. pnwmom May 2016 #165

That has nothing to do with the administrative handling of the FOIA request. Yo_Mama May 2016 #168

Of course it does. When these requests were made neither of them was working at the pnwmom May 2016 #172

Precisely why Hillary instructed her not to talk to the FBI about this subject. Silence is damning. leveymg May 2016 #230

She didn't. Cheryl Mills, Hillary's attorney, had an obligation to the legal profession pnwmom May 2016 #238

There is nothing about being a "good attorney" that would suggest she "should have her client pnwmom May 2016 #248

Mills had a dual role as Chief of Staff. Part of that is political and part is legal. Where there leveymg May 2016 #258

Her role now is as a legal advisor. She has no obligation to do anything but represent her client pnwmom May 2016 #261

Exactly. Thank you for making my point. leveymg May 2016 #264

No. No conclusion of guilt can be drawn from the fact of invoking attorney-client privilege pnwmom May 2016 #271

This was a subject that Hillary, Mills, and her attorney tried to make off-limits leveymg May 2016 #278

They had a pre-agreement, and it was the attorney's job to make them stick to it. n/t pnwmom May 2016 #292

It was a bad move by Mills because it focused the public's attention on the role of HRC's lawyers in leveymg May 2016 #312

Not a bad move, despite all your speculation and fond hopes. And none of the emails contained pnwmom May 2016 #322

You think that drawing attention to Clinton's lawyers involvement was a good move by Mills? leveymg May 2016 #325

"foreign government information" doesn't mean it should have been classified at the time. pnwmom May 2016 #326

Whoever wrote Executive Order 13526 disagrees with your take on that> leveymg May 2016 #331

A strict definition of "foreign government information" would mean that the State Department -- pnwmom May 2016 #332

That is precisely why the State Dept went through each and every email on a case-by-case basis leveymg May 2016 #333

Clinton did not write 104 classified emails. pnwmom May 2016 #334

"Retroactive classification" is a campaign talking point, not a legal defense. leveymg May 2016 #335

She had the authority to decide whether any state department document was classified or not. pnwmom May 2016 #336

See Reply 176. Also, a WAPO writer is not the be all and end all of legal issues. merrily May 2016 #177

It is kinda odd is it not considering HRC's statement Bob41213 May 2016 #330

There's Hillary's mission right there. She didn't want her lawyer to talk about this very topic. leveymg May 2016 #233

Cheryl and her lawyer invoked the privilege, not Hillary, as it is the lawyer's JOB TO DO, pnwmom May 2016 #235

But, by invoking privilege she's carrying out her client's instructions not to talk about this. leveymg May 2016 #240

There is no such legal conclusion to be drawn. Mills has an obligation to protect attorney-client pnwmom May 2016 #242

If what she knew was exculpatory, she is free to discuss it. But, HRC doesn't want Mills to talk leveymg May 2016 #247

Um, wrong. If you pm me for legal advice knowing I am an attorney....privilege attaches. msanthrope May 2016 #142

Or at the very least, you'd want to CYA by having your own lawyer's advice... moriah May 2016 #152

I put a lot of ifs in my statement... moriah May 2016 #143

Yes -- the fact that she consulted her lawyer during an important FBI interview pnwmom May 2016 #166

A job description does not determine that jberryhill May 2016 #154
