FBI Visits Denver Company Regarding Hillary Clinton Emails

Source: CBS4

August 11, 2015 10:58 AM

DENVER (CBS4) – A Colorado company is now a part of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email system. The FBI is looking into the security of the server she used while she was secretary of state.

A Denver company called Platte River Networks was handling the email of the secretary of state of the U.S., but it wasn’t a government account. It was a private account and it’s raising questions about security.

Last week FBI agents visited Platte River Networks which was involved in handling the Clinton email accounts. Sources related to that visit told CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger the company has been asked to preserve any information related to the emails involving Bill and Hillary Clinton.

The company’s website lists awards including for being among the best Colorado businesses and places to work. But Metro State University Assistant Professor of Computer Information Systems Dr. Edgar Maldonado says there are questions about what security protocols were in place.

“I would say it’s not the best choice,” Maldonado said.

3. Considering the entire government was hacked, maybe having a private server was a good thing!!!

If she had been hacked the information would be out there along with all the governments employees personal information. They are the biggest idiots and stooges ever. They should look into securing the government websites and forget about this bull**** fishing expedition. Are you listening howdy Gowdy?

no one working for a private contractor ever stole or exposed any government data.

There's a nothing there there. Illegal wars and stolen elections... Where's the sense of scope in this government.

Nobody is fighting back or even paying attention I guess.

6. Missing email?

They are looking for that email she sent telling the U.S. military to "stand down" if a foreign embassy is attacked in Benghazi.

I'm surprised they have not yet thrown her into a pond to see if she floats like wood.

There's gotta be a better way to protect taxpayer funds from being spent by political hacks with an ax to grind. So much public money in the hands of the likes of Issa, et al to be spent to enhance their political career. Its just plain theft.

securing the actual government systems?


oh wait... they obviously don't know how

Maybe they are just looking for some good advice or a good example of how to really do security.
