Clinton’s backup emails could come biting

Judge poised to order accounting of copies

A federal judge may soon demand Hillary Clinton and her attorney answer questions about the existence of backup copies of the thousands of personal emails she has claimed are nobody’s business but her own.

At issue are the 31,000 emails that were wiped from Clinton’s personal server – emails that the former secretary of state claimed were personal and private. The missing emails have sparked considerable interest among watchdogs and politicians alike, particularly when Fox News journalist Ed Henry questioned Clinton about their disappearance and she ultimately feigned innocence about the meaning of the word “wipe,” saying she didn’t understand how the technology worked, as WND reported. A former Clinton spokesman, Brian Fallon, who served as her press secretary at the State Department, adopted the same mantra in a recent interview on CNN, telling host Brianna Keilar: “I don’t know what ‘wiped’ means,” WND also reported.

Thanks to an order from Judge Reggie Walton of the U.S. District Court for the D.C. Circuit, those wiped emails could now come back to bite Clinton.

The Hill reported Walton has shown interest in ordering the State Department to question Clinton and her attorney about the existence of backup copies of these 31,000 deleted emails. The order could come before the end of next week.

Hillary for Prison - 2015!

Her "personal server" and all other devices that contained official and personal emails and downloads are, because of the presence of official communications, are subject to review by the government to determine what information is the governments, regardless of her claims. She opened this Pandora's Box, and now we're at risk because of it.

The network that State Department uses for SECRET level communication assumes that most, if not all email is SECRET. Because of this, there is no reason to individually mark each email with a classification level. The IT person who Clinton paid to install the server on this network knows that attaching a non secure server violates State Department policy. As a paid contract employee of Clinton, he apparently felt the policy did not apply to him. The problem with the server installation was that it was also connected to the Internet which is not permitted to carry any classified communication freely without encryption. This created a situation whereby a SECRET message could be sent to Hillary from State (without any security markings) that she could forward to the head of ISIS over internet if she wanted. Why would Hillary be expected to assume what she received from the SECRET network was classified? Quite simply, that is the POLICY.

This IT aide who installed this server has little choice but to claim the 5th Amendment because testifying against Hillary would implicate him. The Government could grant immunity from prosecution to him but this opens up the possibility that Obama could be implicated.

Yahoo is reporting Hillary has told a MSM interviewer that she made some mistakes with her email set-up.

Thus begins the 'modified limited hangout', a term familiar to those who lived through the Watergate event.

The small fish who served her are going to be put in a virtual vise and squeezed for their testimony. While she and Bill are accomplished liars who can tell whoppers in their sleep, most of the small fish don't have that expertise and are mere amateurs.

After her conviction and incarceration Bill can cite lack of consort and marry his energizer bunny.
