Obama - Hillary Secret Emails Conspiracy Method.

Mar 10, 2015 3:37AM PDT
Hillary

Obama


"Clinton, a probable Democratic
presidential candidate who's long led her competitors on the left and the right in the polls, has seen her popularity decline since it became public knowledge that she exclusively used a private email system with a personalized domain name that was linked to secret server while she was at the State Department. According to The Guardian, Clinton is looking to launch her campaign on April 1, the first day of a new quarter of fundraising.

The White House confirmed on Monday that President Barack Obama knew about Hillary Clinton's private email
address because he emailed her at it during her tenure of secretary of state. ....In an interview with CBS News during his trip to Selma, Alabama, Obama had defended former Secretary of State Clinton and applauded her decision to release the emails.'I'm glad that Hillary's instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed,' Obama said. 'I think that the fact that she is putting them forward will allow us to make sure that people have the information they need,' I'm glad that Hillary's instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed President Barrack Obama 'The policy of my administration is to encourage transparency,..."

==============================

As for mending bridges, considering the way the leftist act "at the bridge", isn't it about time they replaced that ageing bridge, which I think no longer serves even as a automobile road anymore. It's definitely a historical anachronism and an useless eyesore at that. I guess it's a good think Lincoln didn't write the Emancipation Proclamation while sitting on his toilet, or we'd have to look at it forever as some icon too, LOL.

The irony......
Mar 10, 2015 4:26AM PDT

HC has 'instructed' the State Dept to release her emails.........she has no power to instruct ANYBODY or ANY DEPT to do a freaking thing anymore. The State Dept should be the one instructing HER to turn over her entire server, with the original harddrive, to the Senate. I say original harddrive because I don't believe for an instant that she hasn't already copied what she wanted to 'preserve' to a new one and destroyed the original already.

RE: The State Dept should be the one instructing HER to
Mar 10, 2015 5:28AM PDT

Since she has nothing to do with the State Department, then the State Department has nothing to do with her.

The State Department should have to go to a judge and get the court to order her to release the e-mails on HER server.

Not quite
Mar 10, 2015 5:32AM PDT

If she'd been working for a company and had company business she'd conducted using personal email and had company documents on a personal computer, she'd be legally required to give the pertinent matters back to the company and remove them from her own digital storage. This has been done in court many times over.

Don't use this as "instructing" the State Department to do anything.

March 4, 2015: Clinton tweets: "I want the public to see my email. I have asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible."

asking is NOT instructing.

- Collapse -
Do you doubt
Mar 10, 2015 6:38AM PDT

that ANY 'request' by HC is merely a 'request' and not an order? It's not her style to 'ask' for anything.....she EXPECTS obedience at all times, and always has.

And, again, you miss the point.....She has no authority to even ask anymore.....The State Dept AND the Senate has the authority to demand the entire server, and not just what she has personally handpicked to be released from a server SHE alone has had control over.

Her arrogance knows no bounds....
Mar 10, 2015 9:06AM PDT

Did you happen to see her press 'interview' today? She won't allow a third party to see her server, she's admitted to deleting thousands of emails, she insists that the server was set up for "President Clinton's" office and has all security intact (from 20 years ago?), and that SHE turned over to the State Dept everything SHE believed to be government documents. This is exactly the same attitude she has had throughout her entire career......total control.

"The server will remain private" was her response.......I think Trey Gowdie will have something to say about that......

Mar 10, 2015 10:49AM PDT

because as she said that there were emails from Bill to her and her to him.....one of Bill's former aides was commenting in another interview that he has sent two emails during his entire life, both as President.....he uses twitter.

So, when BC has "his staff" send an email to HC
Mar 10, 2015 12:34PM PDT

it's from "his staff" NOT from BC.

After leaving office, Mr. Clinton established his own domain that staff use-@presidentclinton.com. But Mr. Clinton still doesn't use email himself,

WHY would someone that "doesn't use email" establish his own domain?

It's just for receiving messages...he responds with twitter?...he responds with snail mail?

When he says "doesn't use email" it means he doesn't enter his own keystrokes?

According to HC
Mar 10, 2015 8:43PM PDT

emails between BC and her were/are 'personal' emails.....WHY would BC have a staff member send his 'personal' messages to her when she, herself, in another interview admitted to have four different devices that she uses, including Iphone and Blackberry that can receive Twitter messages from him, which he DOES use?

RE: WHY would BC have a staff member
Mar 10, 2015 9:26PM PDT
WHY would BC have a staff member send his 'personal' messages to her

Because he's lazy? Do you think the "personal" messages involved sex, drugs and rock and roll? Because he likes to order people around?....much the same as Francis J. Underwood on House of Cards. Just as Claire didn't respond his phone calls, perhaps HC doesn't respond to BCs tweets.

BC sends tweets, HC responds to email....the perfect marriage.

You don't find anything
Mar 10, 2015 10:36PM PDT

wrong with her refusing to allow a third party to actually take the server and do a search to see if there IS any proof, and you're happy to just take her word for it? Typical.........But if you actually WANT to prove you aren't lying you submit to the search, especially if you have already admitted to

1. Deleting about 30 or 40 thousand emails YOU determined weren't relevant

2. PRINTING out the emails instead of forwarding the ACTUAL emails to the State Dept

3. Bragging that you sent 55 thousand DOCUMENTS rather than actual EMAILS to the State Dept. (The number of PAGES doesn't necessarily reflect the number of EMAILS, because some emails could be quite lengthy and consist of more than one page)

So you still defend her....
Mar 11, 2015 3:24AM PDT

When will it end for you and other hard-core left liberals? You are obviously fine with her breaking the laws herself, even while she INSTRUCTED her OWN staff to make sure they followed them by archiving their emails. (That instruction is in one of the emails the State Dept actually has.) You've become pathetic, JP, with your love affair with this administration.

The PROOF is on her server (aren't you interested in finding the truth, even now?)....which she refuses to relinquish after making her OWN decisions about what to turn over, when the law clearly states that the GOVERNMENT is the ONLY entity with that authority to decide. NOT HC....but she and her husband have always believed they were above the law and that only the 'little people' (and that includes BO evidently) have to follow those laws.

Sept. 9, 2013: The National Archives updates regulations on the handling of e-mails and federal records: "While agency employees should not generally use personal email accounts to conduct official agency business, there may be times when agencies authorize the use of personal email accounts, such as in emergency situations when Federal accounts are not accessible or when an employee is initially contacted through a personal account."

yes...HER server NOT yours.

you have just describe the Leftists. They only care for laws that don't restrict them, otherwise they feel free to break any law. It's been that way since the 60's and they've not changed for the better, just more devious. Remember, in the mind of Liberals, laws are made to hamper Conservatives, not for Liberals to obey themselves.
