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.

FLASHBACK: When Millions Of Lost Bush White House Emails (From Private Accounts) Triggered A Media Shrug

Even for a Republican White House that was badly stumbling through George W. Bush's sixth year in office, the revelation on April 12, 2007 was shocking. Responding to congressional demands for emails in connection with its investigation into the partisan firing of eight U.S. attorneys, the White House announced that as many as five million emails, covering a two-year span, had been lost.

The emails had been run through private accounts controlled by the Republican National Committee and were only supposed to be used for dealing with non-administration political campaign work to avoid violating ethics laws. Yet congressional investigators already had evidence private emails had been used for government business, including to discuss the firing of one of the U.S. attorneys. The RNC accounts were used by 22 White House staffers, including then-Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, who reportedly used his RNC email for 95 percent of his communications.

As the Washington Post reported, "Under federal law, the White House is required to maintain records, including e-mails, involving presidential decision- making and deliberations." But suddenly millions of the private RNC emails had gone missing; emails that were seen as potentially crucial evidence by Congressional investigators.

It wasn't against the law at that time, JP
Mar 12, 2015 6:47AM PDT

because the RNC wasn't covered under Federal Law.....and it was never proven that WH business was actually in any of them. AND the DEMS who controlled Congress at the time never tried to confiscate the server, and never asked for a Special Prosecutor to get it. And if you look for it, you will find a video of HC being the one who was MOST outraged over those private emails..........the irony is that it's coming back to bite her a$$ now, doncha think, since now SHE'S the one in the hotseat? The very person who SHOULD have known better but believes she's above the law, as usual.

You're beating dead horses now trying to deflect from HER.......it's not working.

If Hillary was using private email to conduct government business, then her email becomes public email and therefore subject to review.

How about the others?
Mar 22, 2015 9:23AM PDT

Jeb Bush personally chose which of his emails he deemed "state business" when he did his initial email dump a few months ago. The rest? Nah, we don't get to see those.

Marco Rubio used a private email account when he was speaker of the Florida House and admits he deleted them.

Scott Walker was caught using a personal email account as the governor of Wisconsin.

Rick Perry used a private email account during his long tenure as governor of Texas

Every one of the above men is running for president and yet, they did exactly the same thing Hillary Clinton did: they all used a private email to conduct public business. Remember Mitt Romney? He ran for president and destroyed his emails and computers after he left the Massachusetts' governor's office.

Mar 22, 2015 9:10PM PDT

Even Carville admitted that she didn't want the GOP 'rifling' thru her emails. It appears to most that archiving them or giving all of her emails to the State Dept regularly or as she left, she knew before she took office that she would be hiding whatever she would do and made plans to do just that. She didn't/couldn't know what was going to happen in Benghazi, but she DID know what she would be doing regarding her foundation and that it went against what she agreed to with the BO Administration when she accepted that position.

"http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3268355/posts"

I was really surprised that when she lost the election and knew how the Clintons felt about BO that she was willing to accept the position. It was speculated that she accepted because he promised to help her pay off her election debt and/or would help her run in 2016.....I now believe she took that job specifically because it allowed her to get to all those countries for foundation 'fundraising' all on the taxpayer's dime and it didn't cost her a thing for four years.

I saw one article from the WSJ online, but can't read the article unless I subscribe (which I won't do)......

However, was he required to keep his private emails archived? Was he a high-positioned part of the administration that WAS required to do so? Was he a Secretary of State with classified information? Have any of his emails ever been subpoenaed for an investigation? Was he required to turn over all of his personal and government emails to the State Dept for THEM to determine what was personal and was government related, with personal emails returned to him rather than HE determine which HE would turn over and hold them for over two years until a subpoena was issued to get them?

Again, I ask.....what about him?

Here's a link in post Diana made in THIS thread...i guess you didn't bother to read it....

Gowdy's hypocrisy shouldn't surprise anyone, frankly. Look no farther than every single Republican running for president:

Jeb Bush personally chose which of his emails he deemed "state business" when he did his initial email dump a few months ago. The rest? Nah, we don't get to see those.
Marco Rubio used a private email account when he was speaker of the Florida House and admits he deleted them.
Scott Walker was caught using a personal email account as the governor of Wisconsin.
Rick Perry used a private email account during his long tenure as governor of Texas.



AND

Jeb Bush released a large volume of emails from the personal — i.e., non-government — email account that he used as Florida governor, and praised his own transparency with typical extravagance. The problem is that those emails represent only 10 percent of those he wrote. The rest he has withheld, without any public review under Florida open records laws. When Scott Walker served as Milwaukee county executive, before he was elected Wisconsin governor, he and his staff used a secret email system for illegal campaign work, which emerged as part of an investigation that ultimately sent one of his aides to prison (another was immunized by prosecutors). Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has used a personal email account for government business, as has Texas Governor Rick Perry. So have Florida Senator Marco Rubio,

Mar 23, 2015 6:59AM PDT

"Was he required to keep his private emails archived? Was he a high-positioned part of the WH administration that WAS required to do so? Was he a Secretary of State with classified information? Have any of his emails ever been subpoenaed for an investigation? Was he required to turn over all of his personal and government emails to the State Dept for THEM to determine what was personal and was government related, with personal emails returned to him rather than HE determine which HE would turn over and hold them for over two years until a subpoena was issued to get them?"

IF, Joe Biden or any other former/current Senator/Governor/Mayor who are DEMS run against HC, will THEY get the same liberal media treatment over their email accounts, since NONE (except Biden) are required to archive everything? Joe Biden WAS a Senator....will HIS emails be made available or will he excuse them away as not being under the requirement rules when HE was a Senator?

You didn't give any answers
Mar 23, 2015 7:00PM PDT

Instead you pointed back to ONE article that happened to MENTION him, along with others, and NONE were required to archive their emails on the level of the State Dept, except Joe Biden AFTER he became VP NOT while a Senator.

So.........since Rubio doesn't even come close to that level of requirements like HC AND HER STAFF do (and many of THEM had THEIR private emails on HER server and ALSO didn't comply with the law (proving her to be a liar), again, I ask.........What about him?

When you or Diana can actually ANSWER that, we'll discuss it further.
