Here's why Hillary kept her email accounts private: See DOJ's defense vs FOIA request

Kissinger is a former U.S. Army Counterintelligence NCO. He is well versed on information security, the handling of classified documents and the 'cone of silence.'

#11  OCR is pretty efficient in current tech. Chelsea got paid to do puff pieces for Comcast/NBC. They were local (as in 1-station towns) -level quality. Her IQ is undetermined, but Webb Hubbell was a fairly sharp guy, sooo..

#10  Oh,and by the way, Hillary’s decision to hand over hard copies, instead of electronic files was another ploy to make searching the documents more difficult. There’s no way to do a word search on manual documents.

Not disagreeing, but I think there is tech out there which can scan hard copies and digitize the text, then allowing word searches.

Don't know about Chelsea's intellect or personality, but a few years back public tv was showing a performance of The Nutcracker and in between acts Chelsea interviewed a few of the performers - it was bad. So very very bad. Like watching frozen fish sticks thaw on the countertop entertaining.

#9  I'm no fan of the Clinton's but I've never heard Chelsea was dumb before. So her Stanford professors just let her slide through on her name?

#8  the Justice Department makes the case that any documents that are not under their control are not covered by FOIA and ergo the State Department has no obligation to search them. Since Hillary — and not the State Department — controlled them, they have no obligation to do anything with them.

That is the most torturous legal logic since SCOTUS' ruling that the Obamacare penalty was actually a tax. Someone else argued that it is like the kid who murdered his entire family and then fell on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan.

#6  Mr. B has it. Hillary has to keep the Foundation money coming in which means she has to be in a position to run for high office. That keeps all the right people kissing her ring (and handing over checks).

If Hillary doesn't run, look for Chelsea to make a move towards political office -- say Lt. Governor of New York. Perfect for a dummy like her, a no-work position that gives her plenty of time to do favors, and be rewarded for doing favors.

#5  Yes, Warren or some other hapless democratic candidate will likely emerge and end up with the ball. Unfortunately, the odious Clintons, spoilers to the end, will divert attention, funding, and make every effort to run out the clock. The presidential process provides them a cover, prestige, and executive power. Giving it up too soon places them nearer the status of the common citizen.

#4  It is no secret that VarJar demands that Elizabeth Warren be installed as the next President of the U.S.
Hillary met this week with Obama in the White House. Without doubt ValJar was sitting in the shadows to insure that her mouthpiece (Obama) conveyed her threats/options appropriately.

#2  The Hildebeest is finished. As Krauthammer has said, 'this one has legs.' The only question now is the timing of her stepping down from the 2016 race, the medical fig leaf and obligatory seclusion, followed closely by the presidential pardon.

#1  The notoriously cheap Clintons, used to the government and rich friends paying their tabs, made a point of leaking that President Clinton paid for the server. That’s a first. But it’s important because, presumably, if the Government paid for it, they could assert control.

If the gov't suspects [has probable cause to suspect] that you are securing classified government documents or other gov't property, in a footlocker in the basement of your private residence, the gov't has every right to get a search warrant and seize that material for examination and potential legal action.

That Kissinger line is absolutely bogus, at least when applied to the little people. When the server scandal broke at nearly the same time as their Clinton Foundation money raising questions, the potential linkage between their Foundation and the odious and despicable Kissinger, and his Foundation immediately came into question.
