The First Two Lies from Hillary’s Press Conference Exposed
National Review ^ | 03/11/2015 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 03/11/2015 6:41:54 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

All over Twitter you can find negative reactions to Hillary Clinton’s just-concluded press conference.

To me, the most important part of her press conference was her statement that was an obvious, flat-out lie:

She said the e-mail server was initially set up for use by former president Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton insisted that there were “numerous safeguards” in place, adding there were “no security breaches.”

One hacker broke into Hillary’s account in 2013 and leaked several messages to Kremlin-funded RT.

Beyond that example, if her server is being privately managed, there’s no way for, say, State Department security professionals or the NSA or CIA or any other intelligence agencies to know if there was a security breach. Can we agree that the woman who said she couldn’t carry two phones because it would be too inconvenient is in no position to assess cybersecurity?

Also, Hillary kept insisting that federal-government workers get to decide what e-mails are considered “private” and which ones are work-related, and that doesn’t sound right at all. On CNN a few moments ago, Margaret Hoover, a former employee of the Bush White House and Department of Homeland Security, said that wasn’t true.

Finally, while her wording was not terribly clear, it appears she kept half her e-mails from her time as secretary of state as “private” and either deleted them or believes she has a right to delete them.

In short, disastrous.

Whatever she/they are hiding must be absolutely horrible, and someone else out there has copies.

That's why she should never be able to run for President. As you said, someone has everything on that server. Threat of blackmail would be constant. Kind of a segue from the natural born citizen idea, "You should never be able to be blackmailed."

another major point not reported enough is that her appointed ARB for Benghazi didn’t even look at her email records. So how are we to trust that all the records have been turned over to State?

That, along with the recent findings that Cheryl and Huma used to personal accounts says it all......

From the linked article

A spokesman for Cause of Action writes, “It’s clear that the White House, including President Obama, knew Secretary Clinton was using a non-government email address. The key question we’re asking is, did the White House ever do anything about it?”
(emphasis mine)

Yes, they did: They made Hillary's use of non-government email public.

Telling, imho. And the reason she was so unprepared to deal with this is she was provided lousy advice by 1600 lawyers. There's no 'damage-control' after an IED goes off...she's now just CYA against legal liability. As a candidate, she's done (as was intended).

“”Margaret Hoover,””

Haven’t seen her in ages. Where has she been?

Did I hear right yesterday that Hillary said the computers she used were protected from cyber attack by the Secret Service? What the dickens did she mean?

Someone should tell her that the devices she’s talking about wouldn’t weigh any more than a bottle of booze.

Yesterday she stated that NO classified information was sent over her private e-mail. No reporter bothered to ask her how she sent classified information.

“”The families of the men who died in Benghazi””

I was thinking about those families last night and wondering why they are so quiet. Have they been told to knock it off - nicely, of course? Sean Smith’s mother was out doing a great job trying to find answers and she’s too quiet now. AND the parents of the SEAL members who were killed on that helicopter crash are quiet now also. WHY???

Doesn’t matter so much that she is criminally prosecuted. I don’t think that would happen. However,being exposed as a buffoon under sworn testimony is likely. Let’s face it, Hillary has never set up an email account in her life. It will be laughable when she is asked questions about IT.

“”Bill Clowntoon said he has only sent two emails in his entire life, so that server couldn’t have been set up for him””

When he was president, personal computers were pretty much in their infancy so that statement is probably true. His two were supposedly to THE TROOPS and John Glenn. Did anyone ever hear of him sending Monica emails or her sending him any?

I think the government can get the records of just when the system WAS set up in their private home....if they really want to and try hard enough. SHE probably didn’t spend a heck of a lot of time in that house anyway after she became SOS as she soon bought her own home in DC, didn’t she?

As far as I know, they lost their cases because the agencies told the courts there was no communication between the various parties that night.

This was a lie, there was communication, and the following lawsuits will drag Hillary through a hundred court rooms.

Shadow government.

Lead by stranger.

With assistance from a cabal of government officials.

The French call it coup d’état.
