Hillary Clinton Ignored Congressional Inquiry on Private E-Mail in 2012

[Purveyor]

A newly disclosed letter may raise additional questions about her e-mail use as her presidential campaign gears up.

Apr 15, 2015 8:32 AM EDT

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked by a congressional panel in 2012 if she used a personal e-mail account and she didn’t respond, an aide to the former committee chairman said.

Clinton, who announced her candidacy for president Sunday, came under scrutiny this year for exclusively using a personal e-mail account and server during her time as secretary of state. She said she deleted tens of thousands of e-mails deemed to be personal, and forwarded tens of thousands of official e-mails to the State Department for record keeping.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform sent Clinton and other State Department heads a letter on Dec. 13, 2012, asking about use of private e-mail accounts by her or her staff to carry out government business.

“Have you or any senior agency official ever used a personal e-mail account to conduct official business?” according to the letter sent less than two months before she left office. “If so, please identify the account used.”

1. I just heard this on the radio, probably should have taked care of it back then.

And interesting that it was left unresolved by her detractors and the media.

Until now.

There it is.

We can do much better.

2. Respond to Darrel Issa? I don't blame her.

3. Her media let it slide.

And it's not a liberal media, there's no such thing.

5. That is interesting - and I suspect it wouldn't even be now, if the State Department

itself did not work with her starting about a year ago and got the emails at the end of last year.

Otherwise -- it likely would have arisen maybe 10 months from now - just as she clinched the nomination.

4. Let's be clear this was the BENGHAZI committee

Clinton didn't respond to. Ben-fucking-ghazi!

6. I don't think it was -- it went to several departments and stemmed from others not

using the government system.

7. WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

8. 'republicans Issa led attack gang' sent hundreds of questions, none were answered.

9. So? She was getting ready to leave office. She didn't answer and they dropped the ball. n/t

10. I'd ignore those rat bastards too.

Good job Hil.
