State Dept. to Withhold Docs Related to Clinton E-Mail Security Until After Election

[ljm2002]

31. Sorry, you are still wrong.

First: the server started out at her Chappaqua, NY address. The so-called "bathroom closet" was later, when the server was handed over to a mom-and-pop networking outfit for them to manage it, somewhere in Colorado. That outfit operated out of a loft, and yes, the server was kept in what a former employee described as an "old bathroom closet".

Analysis of IP addresses on the emails also reveal that the server spent some time in NYC, possibly at Bill Clinton's offices there, or possibly at the Clinton Foundation. It may even have spent some time in Arkansas. That server really got around!

One of the worst things that has come out, is that the server was run for 2-3 months, early on in her tenure at State, with NO encryption for email. That is an egregious lapse.

Now. Since you asked so nicely (not), here is the reference for her server being in the basement of her home, and for it not having the benefit of encryption for 2 months while she conducted official business on it. I must assume that the Washington Post is an acceptable source, yes?

The unfolding story of Clinton’s basement server has outraged advocates of government transparency and mystified political supporters and adversaries alike. Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., who is presiding over one of the FOIA lawsuits, has expressed puzzlement over the affair. He noted that Clinton put the State Department in the position of having to ask her to return thousands of government records — her work email.

On Jan. 13, 2009, a longtime aide to Bill Clinton registered a private email domain for Hillary Clinton, clintonemail.com, that would allow her to send and receive email through the server.

Few could have known it, but the email system operated in those first two months without the standard encryption generally used on the Internet to protect communication, according to an independent analysis that Venafi Inc., a cybersecurity firm that specializes in the encryption process, took upon itself to publish on its website after the scandal broke.
