RE: clintonemails.com: Who is Eric Hoteham?

You still didn't quote what he said. And you don't have an FBI quote either, which you demand for everything related to crooked Hillary. Double standard is obvious.

Obvious Donald Trump supporter is obvious.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/under...ion-petraeus-lover-accessed-his-emails-206017

In a statement of facts the defense and prosecution filed with the court, Petraeus admitted giving a set of notebooks containing highly classified information to Broadwell, keeping them at his home after he claimed to have returned all classified information, and lying to FBI agents about his handling of the so-called "black books."

Denial ... it's not just a river in Egypt !

I'm quite sure that everyone here is totally amused that you think it's awful that Petraus likely lied to the FBI, but you continue to defend Hillary for lies she's told for over 25 years.

Straw, straw, and more straw.

Many of them have been listed here already and they keep piling up. I can hardly wait until the FBI interviews her. After that, let's continue this conversation. K'

If or when they interview her, the only thing that will come from that is a non-indictment.

But, look forward to it, I know I am !

No, it's been brought up multiple times, last time was around page 46 IIRC
.

She should have hired her IT professionals to secure the DOS servers so she could comply with record keeping requirements while improving the internal department security if she felt tjat her system performed better

Twisting straw. No one is claiming she was motivated by security concerns. And you know it.

If the State Department is going to claim employees using their own email servers are a security risk, they need to show their system is, at a minimum, safe. And they cannot say that.

That is utterly ridiculous.

Oh if we're going the route that she wanted privacy it gets worse. If she wanted that she should not have been mixing her business/government emails with her personal server. It is a violation of record keeping regulations regardless... most participants in this thread are aware of at least that much

So has Hillary been indicted yet? LOL

She said it was for convenience. I don't doubt there was an effort at upping the privacy level given the GOP history of dogging the Clintons. But unlike you, I am not outraged by that. If your political enemies were constantly searching through your trash, you might consider hiring a private company to dispose of it, bypassing the curb pick up.

Foia is not just for political enemies. But damn, that is one hell of an admission.

We understand tho that you are not outraged about that, hell, I'd be shocked if you were mildly concerned about it, what with the Hillary 2016 and all.

Is the FBI still investigating?

I don't mind whether or not you're outraged at anything. It does after all assist my argument when you argue for things that show my assessment to be accurate. In this case you are arguing that laws are for show and breaking them is basically not an issue when it is politically convenient. Double standards don't get much more blatant than that

Disbarred lawyer Bill Clinton declares the FBI's investigation into Hillary's cowboy server fiasco a "game." It is a bit concerning that Slick Willy declares the Intelligence Community Inspector General's referral and the FBI's investigation a "game" isn't it?

Of course, he knows games like "lets hide the cigar" and "lets lie under oath."

Only for the FBI.

Nice ad homs. And here I was under the impression that you were a proponent of critical thinking ...

Yes, one should endeavor to avoid leaving snarky little digs at the end of one's posts lest one not be taken seriously.

Fantastic!

Hillary’s Email Defense Is Laughable-- I should know—I ran FOIA for the U.S. government.

In this case, which is truly unprecedented, no matter what Secretary Clinton would have one believe, she managed successfully to insulate her official emails, categorically, from the FOIA, both during her tenure at State and long after her departure from it—perhaps forever. “Nice work if you can get it,” one might say, especially if your experience during your husband’s presidency gives you good reason (nay, even highly compelling motivation) to relegate unto yourself such control if at all possible.

This lays out Clinton's sneering contempt for transparency in chapter and verse.

Judge leaves open the door for a Clinton Deposition

A federal judge on Wednesday opened the door to interviewing Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton as part of a review into her use of a private email server while secretary of State.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia laid out the ground rules for interviewing multiple State Department officials about the emails, with an eye toward finishing the depositions in the weeks before the party nominating conventions.

The Deposition list includes longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin, former chief of staff Cheryl Mills, under secretary for management Patrick Kennedy, former executive secretary Stephen Mull and Bryan Pagliano, the IT official believed to be responsible for setting up and maintaining the server.

WOW!

By the way, avid readers will recall that a member here pointed out that Hillary and her staff rejected a State owned Blackberry that would be subject to FOIA, a fact that did not slip past the learned Judge:

In his order, Sullivan pointed to revelations from the emails appearing to show officials trying to evade demands of FOIA.

In one email, for instance, Mull told Abedin that Clinton’s emails “would be subject to FOIA requests” if she used a department-issued BlackBerry, even though her identity would remain secret.

Abedin responded that the idea “doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.”

FANTASTIC! Go go Judicial Watch!

Were actual emails and communications stolen in these hacks, or was it simply discovered that someone hacked into the system, tried to access information, and failed?

Yes.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/10/politics/state-department-hack-worst-ever/

What I'm asking is whether or not actual emails were stolen, compromised or read, and this article does not clarify this.

Hacking into a system does not automatically mean that information was stolen.

Really though, this is not important to the discussion anyways. I'd bet everything I own that this is not her reason for using her own server. She has never stated that she thought using a private sever would be more secure.

I just keep reading that the gov system was "hacked" with no other details given. In reality it doesn't matter anyways.

Like I said above - we all know that the government email being hacked had nothing to do with Clinton's decision to use her own server, so let's drop it.

Does anybody here doubt at this point that she used her own server to avoid FOIA requests and oversight? Please raise your hands.
