"So I deleted tens of thousands of e-mails after they
were subpoenaed. At this point what difference does
it make?"

In the early days of the Hillary Clinton email scandal, a longtime Clinton ally blasted the former secretary of state’s inner circle for hiding facts about her personal email use.
“Speaking of transparency, our friends Kendall, Cheryl and Phillipe [sic] sure weren’t forthcoming on the facts here,” Neera Tanden wrote in a March 2, 2015 email to John Podesta, the chairman of the Clinton campaign.
Tanden, a top official on Clinton’s 2008 campaign who now serves as president of the think tank, Center for American Progress, was referring to Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, her State Department chief of staff Cheryl Mills and Philippe Reines, another State Department aide.
Tanden went on to criticize Mills, who also now works as Clinton’s lawyer.
“This is a cheryl special,” she wrote. “Know you love her, but this stuff is like her Achilles heal. Or kryptonite. she just can’t say no to this shit.”
“Why didn’t they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy,” she added. Clinton’s exclusive use of a personal email account was exposed the same day as the email exchange in a bombshell New York Times article. Clinton flouted State Department policies regarding the use of personal email account. She also violated the spirit of the Federal Records Act by failing to return her work-related emails to the State Department when she left her job there in Feb. 2013.
She did not turn over the emails until Dec. 2014, nearly two years after leaving office. Even then, Clinton only returned the federal records after the State Department hounded her to do so.
“Unbelievable” was Podesta’s response to Tanden’s venting.
“I guess I know the answer,” Tanden wrote, “they wanted to get away with it.”
The email exchange was released on Tuesday by Wikileaks and was hacked from Podesta’s Gmail account.
Mills has been less than forthcoming — if not outright deceptive — on numerous other email-related issues. She may have lied to the FBI about whether she knew that Clinton used a private email server while she was in office. Mills told investigators she did not know about the server, but email traffic during Mills’ and Clinton’s tenure show that the top Clinton aide discussed the server on several occasions.

When has she EVER been even a little bit honest?
Abraham Lincoln’s fault!
Not forthcoming. SHE LIED, SHE’S A LIAR,A TRAITOR TO THE COUNTRY!
I’m sure that Comey will find that Mills didn’t intend to lie to the FBI! It was all just a misunderstanding and besides; he already granted her Special, Super Secret immunity with a FBI Director’s Gold, Get Out Of Jail Card!
Sooooo, although its a crime to lie to the FBI she didn’t intend to do so! Sorry America that’s just the way they roll in the FBI now! I know everybody will understand and Please don’t call Comey a WEASEL!
Do they all have email accounts from her server?
Did they have to hide it because they were complacent?
EXCERPT--Newly released FBI documents detailing theinvest igation of Hillary’s State dept emails reveal the aide who would likely follow her into the White House as chief counsel was central to a cover-up of evidence sought by investigators.
Yet despite signs, Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills obstructed efforts by investigators to obtain Clinton’s emails, the FBI invited Mills to attend Hillary’s interview at FBI headquarters as one of her lawyers.
“It’s absolutely outrageous,” J/W President Tom Fitton said. “The FBI saw massive document destruction and clear intent to withhold material evidence,” he added, “and they just ignored that obstruction, and even let her sit in on the interview.”
The smoking gun is on page 16 of the FBI’s 47-page report. It details how Mills ultimately made the determinations about which emails should be preserved before she and Clinton decided to delete the rest as “personal.” Clinton conducted both government and personal business using a personal email account — clintonemail.com — tied to an unsecured server set up in the basement of her New York home.
The FBI makes clear the procedure Mills used to sort out the emails was suspicious. Mills was the one who ordered the server host to move the emails from the server to a laptop where she could screen them. She told investigators she could “not recall” if emails with non- gov addresses were included in the transfer.
It’s unlikely they were, because an aide who helped her search told the FBI she only screened for emails sent to or from Clinton with .gov and .mil — not .com — addresses.--SNIP-- (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
=======================================
Hillary's email coverup operation and deliberate destruction of govt property was so vast, at least five State Dept govt employees, including Clinton’s top suck-up, Cheryl Mills, needed DOJ immunity deals to avoid prosecution....and to prevent Obama from being implicated.

Hillary didn't know and Cheryl Mills didn't know either (250 times)
She doesn’t recall, she doesn’t recollect. She’s not sure. She just doesn’t know. Hillary Clinton’s counsel, chief of staff (and US govt employee), doesn’t know a lot of things. She can’t remember testimony she gave. She isn’t sure if she spoke to anyone – she doesn’t remember Hillary’s email address, she doesn’t even know who might know anything. During seven hours of testimony before Judicial Watch, Cheryl Mills said “I don’t know” or some variation of ignorance at least 189 times. (Hillary didn't know 50 temes and blamed a blood clot on her brain for her forgetfulness).
Mills is clearly adept at finding ways to proclaim her ignorance. She was Bill Clinton’s counsel during the impeachment proceedings in the 1990s and has been a close advisor for both Bill and Hillary Clinton for decades.
Breitbart compiled a list of the near-200 times Mills declared how little she knows.

Cheryl Mills—Vince Foster’s office—been there, done that.
Wow. And she wiped all that like, with a cloth? How does a woman that busy find time to be President?
LMAO!!!
The only thing Colin Bowell got correct - Bill Clinton and Bimbos.
Why not just say it honestly... "they LIED their a$$ off."
Wikileaks screwed us as a country. Had these emails been released 6 months ago this witch would be indicted right now.
What a waste.
