2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)so here's what we know from the newest dump of HRC emails. [View all]
Hillary wanted a roaming Blackberry system akin to the one that President Obama is allowed to use. She wanted it because she was accustomed to Blackberry, and because she didn't think it convenient to use a secure PC or laptop.
Her request was repeatedly denied because setting up such a special system is (according to NSA) prohibitively expensive and difficult to implement. NSA would not advise the State Department in how to set up and implement such a system.
Eventually, she decided to not use the Department of State's own secure system. She had a private server built for herself -- a server that was not secure. Further, it was a server hidden from President Obama. She conducted State Department business on a hidden, secret server.
Further, some of the business she conducted on her secret system was with a man who was BANNED from State Department consulting by President Obama himself. Sydney Blumenthal. BANNED by Obama, secretly used by Hillary as a consultant.
Further, Blumenthal was being paid $120,000/year for this secret consulting by the Clinton Foundation.
Further, Blumenthal was also working to gin up private business for himself in Libya, just as he was advising Hillary on Libya.
Further, the intel that Blumenthal was providing to Hillary was flawed and faulty, leading her to pressure Obama into using America's military for regime change against Obama's concerns and the concerns of his own advisors.
Further, after Hillary left the State Department, her secret private server was moved to a "mom and pop" service provider in Colorado -- a company that was so out of mainstream that her server was connected in the bathroom of the loft the company was housed in.
Further, this company had no experience with classified information and the employees had no training in handling it, and the site itself was not secure. Just a loft in a building.
Further, the owner of the company has old, deep ties to Bill Clinton.
Now there are questions as to whether Hillary was running a "rogue State Department" out of sight of President Obama. Through the Clinton Foundation and her secret server and her BANNED advisor....
Drip, drip, drip.
