The REAL reason Hillary had a private server

Hillary Clinton DELETESControl.  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.

FBI Kabuki Theater

Or Theater of the Absurd.

Kabuki TheatreTake your pick.

In any event, there was an atrocious — I can think of no other word — catastrophe of potentially global implications that occurred in San Bernardino.  This video perhaps illustrates things at their base.

The media was given whole hog access to the terrorist base camp.

And the media just how happened to have had those things opened up to reporters?

As these photos would illustrate?

San Berdoo Scene, AMM In Suspect's Apartment

San Berdoo Scene 2And moreover, why?

Breitbart.com took the obvious bent.

The DailyWire also illustrates:

This Is The Most Insane Thing You Have Ever Seen on Live TV. Seriously. What The Actual F***?

by Ben Shapiro

The media are jackals.

The feds are incompetent.

We’re completely screwed.

That’s the only message we can take from the media’s three-hour tour of the San Bernardino terrorists’ apartment. On Friday, at media request, the landlord of the apartment pried off a board covering the door with a crowbar, and the media, in all of their vulpine glory, rushed forward to feast on material evidence in a terrorism investigation.

That heads are not yet rolling — at least in public — astounds and amazes me.

San Berdoo Scene 3Because mostly all month I have been extolling the independence and competency of FBI Director James Comey, whom I’ve quantified as one of the best directors to sit at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue in some time.

One reporter wrote:

I don’t see any fingerprint dust on the walls where they went in there and checked for fingerprints for other people that might have been connected with these two. You’ve got documents laying all over the place; you’ve got shredded documents…You have passports, you’ve got drivers’ licenses — now you have thousands of fingerprints all over inside this crime scene…I am so shocked, I cannot believe it.

San Berdoo Scene 4Now?  After this?

This is a clusterfuck of staggering proportions.

The UKDailyMail.com reveals:

San Bernardino police defend themselves after terrorists’ landlord allows media unfettered access inside their apartment – but MSNBC apologizes for airing it live

by Chris Spargo

  • The media was allowed unsupervised access into the home of Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik on Friday

  • During their live broadcast, MSNBC showed identification cards that should not have been made public

  • ‘We regret that we briefly showed images of photographs and identification cards that should not have been aired without review,’ said MSNBC 

  • The San Bernardino police said it was still an active crime scene Friday morning, but the FBI later said that was not the case 

  • ‘If the police are watching this, they better be on their way down there to stop this from happening,’ said law enforcement specialist Harry Houck 

  • He also noted that it appeared the apartment had at no point been dusted for fingerprints based on what he was seeing 

I most definitely have a “take” on this, and it isn’t against the San Bernardino Police Department.  I find the FBI wholly at fault.  Having worked for the federal system and with local law enforcement for 41 years (and retiring only 5 months ago), here’s why:

The FBI determined the San Bernardino shootings were acts of terror.  Once the names of the suspects were released, anyone with half a nerve ganglion knew it was terror committed in the name of Islam.  It was personal, yes, because of where and whom the suspects targeted, but still Islamic terror, homegrown.

Because of that determination, any and all crime scenes become the charge of the overarching element — terror — and that means the FBI is charged with handling the case, from the crime scenes to the processing and the jurisdictional provenance.

San Berdoo Scene 5Yes, local law enforcement agencies were the first responders, but the FBI is tasked with taking the case, organizing it, investigating it, providing updates to the AG and ultimately to a courtroom should the fact pattern and future discoveries lead there.  It is not impossible the two Muslim suspects were assisted in some fashion and that their plans included any number of soft targets in Southern California.

In other words, the crime scene at the house, in my opinion, wasn’t the San Bernardino Police Department’s baby to rock.  It was the FBI because they will have ultimate authority in terms of potential prosecutions or developments in the future.

Because, physically, the house was within the limits of the City of Redlands.

But I can only conjure a short list of alternatives for this cock-up.

  1. No communications.  The FBI failed to communicate its needs to the other agencies involved.  It wouldn’t be the first time.
  2. Lack of monitoring.  The FBI failed to monitor what was occurring on their crime scene.
  3. A phone call from DC.  The Obama administration is clearly Muslim-friendly.
  4. Overall incompetence or indifference.

No matter, it is CSI Copwork 101 that, in a high-stakes case involving the death of a human being, particularly one of such criticality, you process the scene with unwavering detail, you take everything (because in the early portion of any given case you never truly know where the case will go or what piece of evidence will gain even more importance), nothing remains, because — once released — you can never re-live that scene again.  It will never be the same.

You would never, ever, ever leave any bit of indicia behind at a crime scene of this significance because, as a defense attorney, if and when it comes to that, I will tear you a new asshole on the stand and make you look the complete SCOAMF; a Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure.

This is not a small problem; this is potentially a catastrophic problem.  I can’t help siding with Michael Patrick Tracy on this one.

When the American Media Maggots stop to wonder why they were let into a particular scene, you know you have an issue.

329 new classified Clinton emails released

FBI Director James ComeyThe lack of concern about an incredible security breach by Hillary Clinton continues by the American Media Maggots — covering Hillary’s ass as is their duty, being fellow Leftists.

7800 pages of emails.

999 emails amongst those pages containing classified information.  From Hillary Clinton’s private server.  Much, much more serious than General David Petraeus’s incident with Broadwell and the emails of their affair.  We can be sure that whatever those emails contained is now privy to Russia, China, North Korea and other nation-states who are not our friends.

Clinton should be prosecuted.  No one else would get the pass that she is; the argument for Clinton is simply an AMM shibboleth.

I suspect that James Comey is assembling the most sure-and-watertight case against Hillary Clinton that he is allowed, physically and politically.  I’m sure that Comey has been subject to numerous counts of intimidation by the Obama Spite House.  He watched the Clintons go after former Director Louis Freeh and knows the power of their wrath.

Comey is the linchpin.  Will he and can he do his job?  From TheHill.com:

FBI chief is wild card for Clinton

by Bob Cusack and Ian Swanson

FBI Director James Comey is the pivotal figure in the 2016 presidential race that no one is talking about.

Comey, a Republican appointed by President Obama who enjoys a stellar reputation on both sides of the aisle, is investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of State.

Clinton is the overwhelming favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination next year and is expected to be a tough candidate for any Republican to face in 2016.

Yet the controversy surrounding her private email account remains an Achilles’ heel.

The Hill still can’t fail to throw its own dig, however.

The GOP-created House Benghazi Committee flopped in October when Clinton testified for 11 hours. That hearing failed to produce anything newsworthy about her use of a private server and attracted criticism from liberals and conservatives alike.

Its failure makes it clear that the FBI will have the final say on whether Clinton did anything wrong or illegal. And whatever the verdict is, both parties will have to accept it because Comey is, in many ways, untouchable.

But has Comey been allowed to “work the case,” was he given the information he needs, and what kind of obstructions from the Obama Spite House were thrown into the mix?

One positive note.

“My folks don’t give a rip about politics,” the 6-foot-8-inch Comey said earlier this year. “We’re competent, we’re independent and we’re honest.”

Comey also has a pattern in independence.  He’s said that Syrians cannot be vetted appropriately.  He agreed (as I do) that the “Ferguson Effect” is in fact having a deleterious impact on law enforcement and stands as one reason why crime is increasing.  Comey disagreed with Obama on the Major Hasan mass killing, that it was related to Islam and not “workplace violence.”

This is the most highly politicized federal DOJ in the history of the United States.  The DOJ sits on information, refuses to prosecute anyone on the Left or involved with the Obama Administration, refuses to prosecute New Black Panthers, refuses to do its job.

The jury is out on this one.

I still remain hopeful.
