Wednesday afternoon, moving very quickly, Washington D.C. federal judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered the State Department to explain to him in writing what it is doing to work with the FBI and the Department of Justice to obtain the emails from Hillary Clinton’s server, and where any missing emails might be found. As we reported yesterday, the conduct of Mrs. Clinton implicates countless criminal statutes.

In its status report just filed, the State Department has told the judge that it is doing absolutely nothing to obtain any emails other than those Mrs. Clinton already provided. Apparently, the State Department hasn’t read our prior reports on Judge Emmet G. Sullivan or taken note of how similar claims have not been well-received when made by the IRS.

With astonishing disregard for the truth, the Judge’s questions, or its responsibilities to Congress or the citizens of the United States, the State Department advised that it “is not currently working with DOJ, the FBI or other agencies” for two reasons. “First, the FOIA does not require an agency to search for and produce records that are not in its possession and control.” And, it claims that it is neither in possession nor control of the Clinton’s server.

Obviously, that is precisely the cause of the entire outrage in the first place. The initial legal violations exist because the State Department did not require, and Mrs. Clinton did not use, the secure State.gov for her official emails. Mrs. Clinton should never have had any official State Department information in her personal account or on her server—most especially any sensitive, classified information or any information “respecting the national defense” such as drone signal intelligence. See 18 USC Section 793.

Everyone at the State Department who knew she conducted all of her business on a private address and had the unsecured server at her home is part of this problem and violation. Thus, all at the State Department of any ranking during her tenure may very well be implicated in her conspiracy to violate numerous statutes, including 18 USC Sections 793(d), (e), (f), & (g)—each of which carries a possible 10 year term of imprisonment.

The second and equally appalling reason the State Department is doing nothing to respond to Judge Sullivan’s request is because it is taking Mrs. Clinton’s carefully-worded sworn declaration to mean that she actually provided all of the relevant emails, and it has found nothing responsive in what the culprits have already provided. It is content to let the proverbial “fox guard the henhouse” and let Mrs. Clinton dictate what everyone sees. If that is allowed, rest assured there will be no evidence of the Benghazi murders or Huma Abedin’s conflict of interest, because those emails were not produced by Mrs. Clinton and are no doubt among those she may have successfully destroyed.

No problem. No need to look further. We always let the person being investigated limit the evidence that can be reviewed—right?

Futhermore, her declaration does not even say that she actually produced everything. We know that she did not. We already know from the production of emails by her confidant, Sidney Bluementhal, that Mrs. Clinton obviously destroyed or failed to produce all of her government emails. Indeed, Mrs. Clinton has admitted destroying tens of thousands of emails, and then she apparently had her server professionally scrubbed.

The State Department claims they have not found any responsive emails—either in her production, or the initial production of Huma Abedin—so they think they’re done. The State Department “does not believe that a reasonable search for records responsive to [Judicial Watch’s] FOIA request requires a search of former Secretary Clinton’s server.”

Judge Sullivan will likely cause them to think again—as well he should. Neither the very concerned public nor this federal judge should be satisfied with the already complicit State Department’s or Mrs. Clinton’s or Ms. Abedin or Ms. Mills’ determination of what it reasonable. Fortunately under the rule of law, their perspective does not form the legal standard.

Moreover, the affidavit of John Hackett informs that there may well be other sources for records even in the State Department, supposedly the subject of some level of search. Mr. Hackett’s affidavit also verifies that Huma Abedin, as Mrs. Clinton admitted also, had an account on Clintonemail.com. None of those emails have apparently been produced. Were they also wiped from Mrs. Clinton’s server—the very emails that would evidence her paid performances for three Clinton-related entities simultaneously? Apparently so.

And, given the fact that Ms. Abedin was working at the same time for Teneo and for the Clinton Foundation, there are two more places where her emails may reside that evidence her conflict of interest during the time she was working for the State Department.

At this point, numerous officials in the State Department could very well be implicated in obstruction of justice and assorted conspiracy charges, and the more the State Department thumbs its nose at this Article III judge, the worse it is likely to get.

As we said yesterday, it’s time for a national outcry for the appointment of a special prosecutor, untethered from anyone in the current administration, to investigate these outrageous breaches of national security and the ever-growing cover-up and protection of Mrs. Clinton that has been mounted by multiple agents and agencies. http://observer.com/2015/08/the-countless-crimes-of-hillary-clinton-special-prosecutor-needed-now/

Platte River Networks Clinton email handler executive is a Fox TV regular

August 14, 2015 By Judi McLeod

The vice president of sales and marketing for the company that is now part of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email system is a Fox News TV regular.

Platte River Networks Vice President of Sales & Marketing David DeCamillis has a “regular live monthly spot as a Tech Expert for Fox 31 TV on their morning show.” (Platte River Networks)

“What can we say, the guy was meant for TV,” the Denver company boasted about DeCamillis after one of his regular Fox stints last Spring.”

The Denver company has been managing Clinton’s emails since 2013. DeCamillis has been a regular on Fox during most of the same time.

Guess Fox was too gung-ho in sending Megyn Kelly gunning for Donald Trump to notice.

Everything is hunky-dory between Kelly and Trump who supposedly buried their respective hatchets this week. Not so for Platte River Networks caught up in the current Clinton email scandal.

The award-winning company makes a boast it is among the best in the IT industry on its website.

If that’s the case, shouldn’t we be able to assume that it kept backups for all emails sent and received by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

Special: Two Simple Steps to Remove Bags and Wrinkles From Your Eyes

Surely Lois Lerner’s missing emails should have come as a warning for anyone working in the field of IT.

“DENVER (CBS4) – A Colorado company is now a part of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email system. The FBI is looking into the security of the server she used while she was secretary of state. (McClatchyDC, Aug11, 2015

“A Denver company called Platte River Networks was handling the email of the secretary of state of the U.S., but it wasn’t a government account. It was a private account and it’s raising questions about security.

“Last week FBI agents visited Platte River Networks which was involved in handling the Clinton email accounts. Sources related to that visit told CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger the company has been asked to preserve any information related to the emails involving Bill and Hillary Clinton.”

Aside from having a vice president of marketing and sales with a regular Fox TV show, the company’s website lists awards including for being among the bet Colorado businesses and places to work, but But Metro State University Assistant Professor of Computer Information Systems Dr. Edgar Maldonado told Denver CBS4 there are questions about what security protocols were in place.

“I would say it’s not the best choice,” Maldonado said.

The big question is whether Platte River Network sent any backup copies of Clinton emails up into an irretrievable cyberspace cloud.

It isn’t as if backing up information isn’t important.

Classified information, after all, has reportedly been found on the private server in Clinton’s home.

The chairman of the Senate’s homeland security committee is asking Platte River Network what measures it took to safeguard national security information.

“Given that the server was used to conduct official State Department business, questions have been raised regarding whether classified information was stored on the private server,” Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin wrote Platte’s president in a letter Tuesday. He said he also wants to know “if that data was secure, who had access to that material and whether all official documents were appropriately preserved.”(McClatchyDC, Aug. 12, 2015)

“Clinton has said that after she turned over all of her official emails to the State Department last December, she wiped clean her server which contained over 61,000 emails. Clinton said she permanently deleted about half because they were personal and turned over the rest because they were related to State Department business. Senior Republicans in Congress now want to know whether Platte River has a backup file containing the deleted emails.

“In the letter obtained by McClatchy, Chairman Johnson asked company President Treve Suazo to respond to detailed questions within two weeks.

“He requested all communications referring to the server “between or among employees or contractors of Platte River” and between company employees and the family’s global charity, the Clinton Foundation. Johnson also sought an explanation of whether the company is “authorized to maintain or access classified information.”

“Suazo and other company officials did not respond to phone requests seeking comment.

“Platte River’s role grew more crucial Tuesday when the inspector general for the U.S. Intelligence Community advised Congress that two emails contained information it deemed “Top Secret.” The emails were not marked as classified when they were written, and Clinton has repeatedly denied ever sending or receiving classified information.

“Was Platte River Networks ever made aware that the information on Secretary Clinton’s private server may contain classified or sensitive security data? Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin

“At a State Department briefing Wednesday, Mark Toner, a spokesman, said the two emails designated as Top Secret “weren’t sent by her.”

“Clinton said late Tuesday that she would turn over to the Justice Department her private server as part of a widening security investigation into her use of private emails to conduct official business. McClatchy reported Tuesday that two emails found on Clinton’s server were classified as “Top Secret,” heightening concerns that Clinton may have improperly shared classified information or stored them on vulnerable Internet equipment that might be open to hacking.

“The declaration by Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III, however, ramped up the stakes, because security officials had been less concerned about the arrangement if information was classified no higher than “Secret.”

“Platte River’s services were sought in early 2013 to improve security of the server, which was installed for former President Bill Clinton at the couple’s home in New York state years earlier, The Washington Post reported recently.

“The Colorado firm’s hiring coincided with the discovery that an email account for Clinton’s longtime confidant, private consultant Sidney Blumenthal, had been hacked by a Romanian national Marcel Lazar Lehel, known as Guccifer.

“Clinton’s campaign did not respond to questions Wednesday.

“But her communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, sent a lengthy email to supporters to dispel “misinformation,” explaining why she used a private email account, what emails she turned over and assuring that there is no criminal inquiry into Clinton’s conduct.

“Look, this kind of nonsense comes with the territory of running for president … and we expect it to continue from now until Election Day,” she said.

Meanwhile, to be on the up and up shouldn’t Fox News have stated that David DeCamillis is the vice president of marketing and sales for the company that has been handling Hillary Clinton’s missing emails?

Hillary’s State Department Routinely Hid Emails on Purpose

15 Aug 2015 by Patrick Howley

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s State Department routinely failed to preserve its own emails in order to intentionally hide them from official records.

Clinton-era email use at the State Department was fraught with widespread, intentional concealment, according to an October 2014-March 2015 semiannual report to Congress filed by the State Department’s office of inspector general (OIG).

Only a fraction of the messages sent by email were stored as “record emails,” according to the report.

“The review of the State Messaging and Archive Retrieval Toolset (SMART) and Record Email found that, out of the more than 1 billion emails sent in 2011, employees created just over 61,000 official emails; and they created even fewer—41,000—in 2013,” the inspector general found. “OIG recommended that the Department establish policies governing usage and that system designers engage with focus groups to enhance the system’s efficiency.” (p. vii)

Clinton’s administration did nothing to teach people how to store emails and oversaw the widespread cover-up of emails that should have been kept.

“A 2009 upgrade in the Department’s system facilitated the preservation of emails as official records. However, Department employees had not received adequate training or guidance on their responsibilities for using those systems to preserve ‘record emails,’” according to the OIG report.

“Record email usage varied widely across bureaus and missions. The Bureau of Administration needed to exercise central oversight of the use of the record email function. OIG found that some employees did not create record emails because they did not want to make the email available in searches or feared that this availability would inhibit debate about pending decisions.”

Former Secretary Clinton has turned over thumb drives and a private email server containing her emails from her tenure at the State Department. An inter-agency government task force led by the Department of Justice and the FBI is currently investigating how classified information ended up on Clinton’s server, and whether foreign agents were able to obtain any of the information on Clinton’s server.

Hillary on Snapchat: I love how messages ‘disappear all by themselves’

Clinton makes light of FBI criminal investigation into whether highly classified information was dealt with improperly

August 15, 2015 by The Hill | Elliot Smilowitz

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may be facing a lot of trouble for her private email server, but she’s not letting the scandal take away her sense of humor.

Clinton joked at the annual Iowa Democratic Wing Ding on Friday that social media service Snapchat, known for messages that disappear instantly, is perfect for her.

“By the way, you may have seen that I have recently launched a Snapchat account,” she said. “I love it — those messages disappear all by themselves.”

Despite her joke, Democrats are worried that the furor surrounding her private email server will be prolonged and intensified after her sudden move to hand it over to the FBI this week.
