Hillary Clinton email megathread

[Fusionmunster]

Not sure what to make of this, but the NY Post allegedly quotes an unnamed Hillary legal advisor as saying it's time for her to lawyer up, because she is so legally vulnerable, but that Hillary is in denial. The article says that the investigation is moving along quickly, and should be finished by the end of the year.

NY post release Hillary hit pieces daily. You shouldnt consider them a source.

Drip, drip.

Drip, drip.

So this means the FBI now has access to every single email ever saved on the HillaServer, deleted or not, from 2008 (or whenever) all the way to two weeks ago.

Her primary means of communication for the last eight years. Any communication she or her staff have ever had with anyone. Countless thousands of emails that were long thought deleted. All in the hands of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

It looks like it's RIP HILLARY!

I would have thought you would have read the article. They haven't recovered a single email as of yet, and will only be able to if the emails were originally stored on a location in the disk that has not been overwritten with different data.

Datto has been regularly saving off-site backups of the entire server for as long as Platte River has contracted with them. Given that Platte River had no idea this was happening until now, I believe it's safe to assume that Datto did not abide by Platte River's 30 day retention request. The FBI has everything for however long Datto has been putting these backups in the cloud.

So this is a service that Datto offers ...

If nothing else, this will give the Director of the FBI tremendous leverage over a future President Clinton. Hoover all over again.

"Madame President, I'd...strongly suggest vetoing that bill that only gives us a 2% annual increase in budget and shoot for something a bit more substantial. We need the money for additional cybersecurity. It would be horrible if we didn't get that money and some...hacker...leaked those emails of yours we found."

Her top secret classified emails accidentally got backed up in a cloud service? So much fail.

I doubt Obama would have said that if the FBI was readying an indictment, which means that if the GOP wants to take Clinton down with scandal, it all comes down to the Benghazi Committee, which apparently has been transformed into the Clinton Email Committee

Private emails? FBI investigation? Why, it's all a vast right-wing conspiracy!

Mark my words: Mrs. Clinton will never be president...

FWIW, Fox News claims a source told them the FBI is focusing on whether Hillary committed gross negligence or not (pushing the fact pattern into the criminal zone), with obstruction of justice also on the radar screen.

Setting up a private email server could be gross negligence, while deleting emails looks like a classic case of obstruction of justice to me.

She could be fined for the former (some misdemeanor plea), but she should be sentenced to prison for the latter.

During the 60 Minutes interview on October 11th, 2015 (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/president-obama-60-minutes-syria-isis-2016-presidential-race), President Obama made the following comments:

Steve Kroft: Did you know about Hillary Clinton's use of private email server--
President Barack Obama: No.

Steve Kroft: --while she was Secretary of State?
President Barack Obama: No.

Steve Kroft: Do you think it posed a national security problem?
President Barack Obama: I don't think it posed a national security problem. I think that it was a mistake that she has acknowledged and-- you know, as a general proposition, when we're in these offices, we have to be more sensitive and stay as far away from the line as possible when it comes to how we handle information, how we handle our own personal data. And, you know, she made a mistake. She has acknowledged it. I do think that the way it's been ginned-up is in part because of-- in part-- because of politics. And I think she'd be the first to acknowledge that maybe she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly. But--

Steve Kroft: What was your reaction when you found out about it?
President Barack Obama: This is one of those issues that I think is legitimate, but the fact that for the last three months this is all that's been spoken about is an indication that we're in presidential political season.

Steve Kroft: Do you agree with what President Clinton has said and Secretary Clinton has said, that this is not-- not that big a deal. Do you agree with that?
President Barack Obama: Well, I'm not going to comment on--

Steve Kroft: You think it's not that big a deal--
President Barack Obama: What I think is that it is important for her to answer these questions to the satisfaction of the American public. And they can make their own judgment. I can tell you that this is not a situation in which America's national security was endangered.

So the question: Was it appropriate, given the ongoing investigation, for the President to say "I don't think it posed a national security problem..." Isn't that what the investigation is meant to determine? And by making such a statement now, prior to the investigation wrapping up, if the investigation actually results in a finding of no wrong doing by Secretary Clinton, doesn't this comment allow political opponents to later say that the President told everyone what he expected the results to be? As someone with legal training, shouldn't Mr. Obama have known that it would be more prudent to say "Sorry, I can't comment about an ongoing investigation", and leave it at that?

Check out her guffaws.  http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/257214-clinton-cracks-up-over-question-about-fbi-investigation-into-email

What is she conveying?

Is she telling us this is so silly; a right-wing extremist crusade?

Is she asking him to come up with an original question?

Is she laughing because she doesn't want to cry in public as she is very afraid that she is heading to jail?

Other possibilities are too numerous to mention.

Why is a question about the President's comments on the 60 Minutes interview lumped in here? The question is about whether or not the President should have said what he said, and to me deserves to be addressed in a separate area. Two very different topics...
