Breaking: State Dept. Gets Libya Emails That Hillary Clinton Didn’t Hand Over

[Purveyor]

WASHINGTON — Despite claims by Hillary Rodham Clinton that she gave the State Department all of her work-related emails from the personal account that she used exclusively when she was in office, the department said on Thursday that it had received several related to Libya that she had not handed over.

The disclosure is the first significant evidence to raise questions about whether Mrs. Clinton deleted emails from the account that she should have given to the State Department because they were government records.

The State Department said that in comparing emails from Sidney Blumenthal, a confidant of Mrs. Clinton’s, to the ones she gave to the department, officials could not find nine and portions of six others. At the time they were exchanging the emails, Mr. Blumenthal did not work at the State Department but was routinely providing her with intelligence memos about Libya, some with dubious information, which Mrs. Clinton circulated to her deputies.

The disclosure is likely to increase pressure on the House speaker, John A. Boehner of Ohio, from fellow Republicans to subpoena the server that housed the personal email account. Mrs. Clinton has said that last year she gave the State Department about 30,000 emails that were related to her work as secretary of state. She said that she deleted roughly the same number of emails from the account, saying those messages “were private, personal” ones about her daughter’s wedding, her mother’s funeral, family vacations and yoga.

2. She only lied and destroyed public records.

What's the big deal?

6. If it turns out that this is verifiable then her "trust me" song and dance puts her in a bind.

And if this is verifiable that HRC hasn't turned over government-related emails then this will play into the fucking GOPigs.

It won't be funny then.

5. Out of 300,000 9 were missed?

Seriously? Good Grief.

I've never had to review 300,000 emails. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

I don't think there is any big deal here.

And I'm a Bernie supporter, 100%. I also consider myself reasonable.

11. Sigh. Why am I not surprised?

As much as Hillary supporters want to blow this off as no big deal, this is the kind of story that is really going to hurt her. The public already views her as untrustworthy and this story validates their opinion. Hillary went out and gave a press conference where she said she turned over all the emails. We've already found out that wasn't true and she lied. And she is dragging the State Dept. into her mess. If she had just used the State Dept. server like the Obama administration told all their employees to, this never would have happened. Instead we are left with cleaning up another Clinton mess. They are just exhausting.

12. she could have handled this better, however.......

the witch hunt party that pursues wild geese (better known as the Republican party) has been conducting an endless investigation in search of a crime.

We need to move up one level on the three dimensional chessboard, and attack THEM for these pointless investigations.
