CBS: Clinton's Full of B.S. Regarding Private Server

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/05/31/clinton-email-inspector-general/

Clearly Hillary's been covering up some dirty shit here. Her many repeated lies on her Private Server called out in this lie-by-lie report:


A look at some of Clinton’s past claims about her unusual email set-up and how they compare with the inspector general’s findings:

CLINTON: “The system we used was set up for President Clinton’s office. And it had numerous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches.” — March 2015 press conference.

THE REPORT: Evidence emerged of hacking attempts, though it’s unclear whether they were successful.

On Jan. 9, 2011, (asterisk)an adviser to former President Bill Clinton notified the State Department’s deputy chief of staff for operations that he had to shut down the server because he suspected “someone was trying to hack us and while they did not get in i did.,nt (sic) want to let them have the chance to.”

Later that day, he sent another note. “We were attacked again so I shut (the server) down for a few min.”

The following day the deputy chief emailed top Clinton aides and instructed them not to email the secretary “anything sensitive.”

Also in May 2011, Clinton told aides that someone was “hacking into her email,” after she received a message with a suspicious link, the new audit report said.

The Associated Press has previously reported that, according to detailed records compiled in 2012, Clinton’s server was connected to the internet in ways that made it more vulnerable to hackers. It appeared to allow users to connect openly over the internet to control it remotely.

Moreover, it’s unclear what protection her email system might have achieved from having the Secret Service guard the property. Digital security breaches tend to come from computer networks, not over a fence.

——

CLINTON: “What I did was allowed. It was allowed by the State Department. The State Department has confirmed that.” — AP interview, September.

THE REPORT: “No evidence” that Clinton asked for or received approval to conduct official government business on a personal email account run through a private server in her New York home. According to top State Department officials interviewed for the investigation, the departments that oversee security “did not — and would not — approve” her use of a personal account because of security concerns.

Clinton has changed her account since the report came out. On Thursday, she told CNN “I thought it was allowed. I knew past secretaries of state used personal email.”

Colin Powell was the only secretary of state who used personal email for work, but not to the extent she did, and he did not use a private server.

——

CLINTON: “It was fully above board. Everybody in the government with whom I emailed knew that I was using a personal email.” — AP interview, September.

CLINTON: “The people in the government knew that I was using a personal account . the people I was emailing to on the dot gov system certainly knew and they would respond to me on my personal email.” — NBC News interview, September.

THE REPORT: According to the findings, it’s unclear how widespread knowledge was about Clinton’s use of a personal account. Though Clinton’s use of a private email was discussed with some in her agency, senior department officials who worked for her, including the undersecretary responsible for security, said they were not asked to approve or review the use of her private server.

The officials also said they were “unaware of the scope or extent” of her email practices, even though Clinton exchanged hundreds of thousands of messages with people in government from her personal account.

——

CLINTON: “In the fall, I think it was October of last year (2014), the State Department sent a letter to previous secretaries of state asking for help with their record-keeping, in part because of the technical problems that they knew they had to deal with. And they asked that we, all of us, go through our e-mails to determine what was work-related and to provide that for them.” — NBC News, September.

THE REPORT: While it’s true that the State Department requested records from former secretaries of state in November 2014, the report says the department raised concerns about Clinton’s compliance with federal record-keeping laws years earlier, and the attention did not appear welcome.

Two employees in the Office of Information Resources Management discussed concerns about her use of a personal email account in separate 2010 meetings. One of the employees stressed in one of the meetings that the information being transmitted needed to be preserved to satisfy federal records laws.

They were instructed by the director of the department “never to speak of the Secretary’s personal email system again,” according to the report.

——

CLINTON: “I think last August I made it clear I’m more than ready to talk to anybody anytime.” — CBS News interview in May.

THE REPORT: Clinton declined through her lawyer to be interviewed for the report. Four other secretaries of state participated: John Kerry, Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell. She now says: “everything I had to say was out there.”

But she has said she will speak to the FBI as part of a separate criminal investigation into possible security breaches related to her private server.

In October, she testified about the issue before the House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks.

PELLEY:You know, in '76, Jimmy Carter famously said, "I will not lie to you."

CLINTON: Well, I have to tell you I have tried in every way I know how literally from my years as a young lawyer all the way through my time as secretary of state to level with the American people.

PELLEY:You talk about leveling with the American people. Have you always told the truth?

CLINTON:I've always tried to. Always. Always.

PELLEY:Some people are gonna call that wiggle room that you just gave yourself.

CLINTON:Well, no, I've always tried --

PELLEY:I mean, Jimmy Carter said, "I will never lie to you."

CLINTON:Well, but, you know, you're asking me to say, "Have I ever?" I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever will. I'm gonna do the best I can to level with the American people.

It's yet another delay tactic, because if there is an indictment after a Democratic Convention that nominates Hillary, options for replacing her are no longer in control of the voters.

My money is on the moneyed part stays in and consolidates its hold over minority status thst doesn't oppose the next Government. The status quo of a declining rogue empire will be safe for another generation. Mission Accomplished.

I really hope they prove me wrong and remove her at the Convention. We're running out of time for a soft landing.

us we're "fucking retards".

But I disagree that the empire will be safe for another generation because if they do this maneuver it would be an open invitation for Bernie to run as an independent/third party and I think he would win. He would owe them no loyalty if they took the nom away from him and they would have left so many people out in the cold who would happily follow Bernie to another party.

Considering the email case this weekend I came to the conclusion that today was critical-if no new stories appeared today, then probably nothing short of an indictment could stop Clinton. After today I believe the onus has shifted and barring a miracle she is watching her last chance slipping away.

...with Reagan and the covert war on Nicaragua, and our Democratic leaders' failure to impeach him for it, because they were making so much money off of Reaganonmics, and, recently, with Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld, and Obama saying, "We need to look forward not backward" on the crimes of the rich and powerful (they teach that at Harvard Law School), and at many points in between, involving many crimes, colossal thefts, "regime changes," murders, wars, torturing prisoners, use of public office to become wealthy beyond the wildest dreams of us peons, tax evasion, war profiteering, selling weapons to scum like the Saudis, government spying, corporate monopolies, corporate pollution and corporate murder of Mother Earth.

Not at all sad. Not at all surprised. What will surprise me, though, is if Clinton doesn't get away with it. That would be interesting. But it has nothing to do with me being sad or happy, or anyone else being sad or happy. It would be surprising to see justice done, and I would wonder what is going on behind the scenes in the luxury island paradise compounds of the behind the scenes players.

We need to put sadness about our democracy, our country and our planet aside, and get very smart and very well-organized in dealing with this Oligarchy. And that is happening.
