Control.  And secrecy.

And more proof that not only is Hillary Clinton a liar with regard to her emails, so is the State Department.

From the NYPost.com:

‘This was all planned’: Former IG says Hillary, State Dept. are lying

by Paul Sperry

The State Department is lying when it says it didn’t know until it was too late that Hillary Clinton was improperly using personal emails and a private server to conduct official business — because it never set up an agency email address for her in the first place, the department’s former top watchdog says.

Read that again: “The State Department is lying,” and “because it (the State Department) never set up an agency email address for her (Hillary Clinton) in the first place.”

Meaning: the State Department already had knowledge that she was going it alone for email.  And had no need for theirs.

“This was all planned in advance” to skirt rules governing federal records management, said Howard J. Krongard, who served as the agency’s inspector general from 2005 to 2008.

The Harvard-educated lawyer points out that, from Day One, Clinton was never assigned and never used a state.gov email address like previous secretaries.

To me this is clearly indicative of planning aforethought.  Purposeful planning.

Mr Krongard confirms my thoughts.

“That’s a change in the standard. It tells me that this was premeditated. And this eliminates claims by the State Department that they were unaware of her private email server until later,” Krongard said in an exclusive interview. “How else was she supposed to do business without email?”

“How else was she supposed to do business without email?”

Krongard becomes even more focused in his rightful and informed accusations.

“It’s clear she did not want to be subject to internal investigations,” Krongard said. An email audit would have easily uncovered the secret information flowing from classified government networks to the private unprotected system she set up in her New York home.

Why no audit?

Would it surprise you to know that, during Mrs Clinton’s time as secretary of state, from 2009 to 2013, there was no internal Inspector General for the State Department?  That was the longest period of time any federal department has gone without an IG.

Coincidence?

Read what Mr Krongard has to say about the appearance of classified information on her private server.

He (Krongard) says “the key” to the FBI’s investigation of Emailgate is determining how highly sensitive state secrets in the classified network, known as SIPRNet, ended up in Clinton’s personal emails.

“The starting point of the investigation is the material going through SIPRNet. She couldn’t function without the information coming over SIPRNet,” Krongard said. “How did she get it on her home server? It can’t just jump from one system to the other. Someone had to move it, copy it. The question is who did that?”

“Someone had to move it, copy it.  The question is who did that?”

But first, Clinton insisted that the “homebrew” server was in her house in Chappaqua, New York, in some kind of closet, allegedly guarded by USSS agents.  Her house, not the server.

However, privately hired hackers for Fox News figured out Clinton lied about the physical location of the server.

Now, working with publicly available tools that map network connectivity, experts have established that the last “hop” before the mail server’s Internet Protocol, or IP, address (listed as 64.94.172.146) is Internap’s aggregator in Manhattan (listed as 216.52.95.10).

“This is a very strong indication that the clintonemail.com server is in Manhattan,” the source told Fox News.

Well, now isn’t that interesting?

But wait; there’s more!

According to an Ars Technica investigation, however, Clinton’s email server was located in Alabama at one point while she served as America’s chief diplomat. Moreover, its substandard security left it vulnerable to a series of common hacking techniques.

It defies logic to believe that a high value target like the secretary of state’s electronic communications were not probed by foreign intelligence services over the course of her tenure in the president’s Cabinet, and reports increasingly suggest that those agencies did not encounter many obstacles in their effort to compromise her communications.

One can only logically conclude that Hillary Rodham Clinton is a congenital liar and wouldn’t know the truth if it removed a beefy piece of cankle.  Krongard also continues to blow Clinton’s stories out of the water.

Either way, there would be an audit trail for investigators to follow. The SIPRNet system maintains the identity of all users and their log-on and log-off times, among other activities.

“This totally eliminates the false premise that she got nothing marked classified,” Krongard said. “She’s hiding behind this defense. But they [emails] had to be classified, because otherwise [the information in them] wouldn’t be on the SIPRNet.”

Hillary Clinton herself said she went to her own private server for convenience.

Because she is a Clinton.

In truth, the answer to “why” is this: Hillary knew there would be no Inspector General for the Department of State.  She knew she could keep that position unfilled in perpetuity during her tenure.  Her comms were even more critical when she became involved in Benghazi.

With the Clintons, it’s all about control, secrecy and power. Clinton, knowing there was no IG oversight, realized she had carte blanche to run roughshod over whatever set of rules she wished.  She is a Clinton.  Rules are for little people, the unwashed, the proles, the serfs, the groundlings.

We also now know that Obama sent emails to her server.  No one knows what kinds of communications transpired between the two, however.  Yet.

FBI Director James Comey has had his agents working the Clinton server angle for some time, assembling everything necessary for a proper case.  When he believes he has sufficient probable cause, he will submit the case to DOJ for an indictment and prosecution.  That means the case will go to Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, who heads the department’s criminal division; Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates; Attorney General Loretta Lynch; and top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.

And Barack Hussein Obama will be the ultimate arbeiter.

So what if there happens to be information of a compromising nature relating to Mr Obama on Hillary Clinton’s private server?  Information he doesn’t wish made public?

I think you can see where I’m going with this.
