Hildebeest tries to get ahead of e-mail scandal
2015-03-06
[Daily Mail] Hillary Clinton is trying to head off a growing dispute about her use of private email while serving as US secretary of state, insisting she has nothing to hide. On Wednesday, three days after the news broke, Clinton broke her silence on the issue to ask the State Department to release a trove of mails dealing with her official duties.

The presumed front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination has come under attack for keeping official correspondence on a private email server in one of her homes.

Her camp insists this was not a breach of federal regulations, but it has led to suspicions that she was seeking to prevent the mails from being made public. It is also not clear whether the server and the classified diplomatic correspondence it held was properly secured against cyberattack by hackers or foreign intelligence agencies.

"I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them," Clinton tweeted.
It's not the email on the official State Department server that is the issue. It's the email on the server in the basement in her home that is the issue...
The mails in question had already been handed over to the government to form an official record after Clinton had left office, and it is not clear whether they represent a complete set.

But -- with Republican lawmakers planning to issue a subpoena to recover the records -- the State Department said officials had been assured they have all relevant material.

"Her team has said that this is the extent of the records that she has," deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf harfed up told reporters.

Speaking in Riyadh, Clinton's successor Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed the department "has had access to a wide array of Secretary Clinton's record, including emails."
Nothing will come of this. The Clinton's are above the rule of law. The record keeping rule has been broken and will likely not be repaired. Unless she and a number of 'knowledgeable others' are held accountable, we have moved another step closer to totalitarianism.
Update at 9:10 a.m. ET: The story keeps growing. According to PJ Media's Roger Simon, there are a number of email addresses attached to that account. Email Eruption: Hillary Hidden Emails Multiply By Ten

#4   Hard to believe that of everything Snowden found there was nothing showing emails to Hillary going to a non-gov account, and if so how nobody noticed before.

Like Frank sed: Ask the Russians.
