Politico names HRC Staff who sent Top Secret materials and separated emails

Last edited Fri Apr 1, 2016, 11:48 AM - Edit history (1)

A report in Politico today reveals important new details that contradict key points that have been made by former Secretary of State Clinton about handling of her private email server. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/hillary-clinton-fbi-strategy-emails-221435#ixzz44aCW6jWc

The article reveals information clarifying that top State Dept. aide Jake Sullivan actually sent "a number of emails" containing Top Secret material across HRC's private server. Recall, the HRC campaign has claimed that Sullivan did not actually "send unsecured" a classified document per HRC's instructions. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/265210-email-clinton-asked-adviser-to-send-secure-fax-by-email

This new account also seems to confirm that a second Clinton staffer, Heather Samuelson, carried out the sorting of official and private HRC email. This conflicts with HRC staff claims that sorting of emails that were later provided to the State Department was all done by a computerized keyword search, not by any particular person. This information appears to be major dents in the Clinton defense account. The article states:

The quartet includes Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills, who counseled Clinton politically and legally; deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan, whom sources say authored a number of emails to Clinton that are now considered “top secret”; Heather Samuelson, Mills’ deputy who initially sorted Clinton’s work-related emails from personal messages that were then deleted; and Reines, who served as Clinton’s spokesman and also used personal email for work purposes at State.

. . .

Sullivan, for instance, authored now “top secret” emails, sources have told POLITICO — potentially setting him apart from the group. And Samuelson, according to testimony Mills gave to House GOP investigators, sorted Clinton’s emails as either official documents or personal issues.

Both, for example, would likely be asked about what kinds of instructions they received, which could involve Wilkinson’s other client Mills, who was senior to both.

I don't see how these topics can be avoided.

“If it’s a serious case, you don’t run the risk of having all sorts of collusion between people — it’s just not done,” said diGenova. “If the department has accepted that, that tells me they’re walking down the line of not bringing a case, because they’re not serious if they have accepted that arrangement … They’ve thrown in the towel.”
