'Huge gaps' in Clinton email record, Benghazi probe chief says
Yahoo! News ^

Posted on 03/08/2015 8:28:14 PM PDT by bryan999

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Huge gaps exist in the emails former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has provided to a congressional committee investigating the 2012 attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the panel's chairman said on Sunday.

Republican Representative Trey Gowdy said his committee lacked documentation from Clinton's trip to Libya after the attack despite a popular photo image of her using a handheld device during a flight to that country.

"We have no emails from that day. In fact we have no emails from that trip," said Gowdy, who heads the committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. "There are huge gaps."

Widely considered the frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, Clinton used a private email account for all official business as President Barack Obama's secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Months - and millions of dollars - were spent investigating Nixon’s 18-minute gap, and tens of thousands of words written in the MSM about it.

A key thing to know:

WHO set up the server, and WHO maintained the server?
Government employees? Uncleared private employees hired by the Clintons?

Gowdy shows no interest in this, and it matters. I do not think Gowdy is serious in his pursuit -- I think he talks a lot but achieves little. It's Kabuki.

And rather than subpoena and collect the server when he learned of it six months ago, he’s subpoenaing the emails.

Real tough investigation.

The answer to this out there, so perhaps Gowdy is aware:

“Hillary Clinton arranged for a ‘homebrew’ email server to be set up whilst Secretary of State amid an atmosphere of ‘what Hillary wants, Hillary gets’.

A former senior IT official in the Department of State told Dailymail.com that Mrs Clinton was ‘demanding’ and that staff had to get things done without asking too many questions.

The existence of the server at her private home in Chappaqua, upstate New York, would have been known to just a close circle of friends as ‘these are things that are not discussed’, he said.”

Come on Hillary, let’s hear it one more time: “We’ve already answered these allegations. Can’t we just move on?”

They’ve been through 12 Hour Clintonizing. Those puppies are clean as a whistle. Reviewing that Clinton garbage is a waste of time. It’s in Sandy Burglar’s socks and waste band. There isn’t anything there. The good (or bad) stuff is gone.

What matters is the MenSeekingMen have abandoned Clinton over this, they can’t effectively defend her, zero and Warren concurrently. Somebody had to go.

SO... forcing Thighness out of US Politics, that’s a pretty good scalp for Gowdy.

Not to mention what Snowden has on her private emails.

Nixon's 18 minutes cost him the White House.

The Clinton’s do not know what Gowdy is holding.

If Hillary does not turn over the messages, she’s could land in Jail.
If Hillary does turn over the messages, she will be in j=Jail.
Not to mention, all the people Hillary stepped on and signing to the Investigators

We will find out the size of her brass balls.

Yes it matters. I suspect that somewhere buried on that server is a log of the emails sent and received. If so that would be a natural target.

But I'm curious how you know that Gowdy has no interest in any of this.

Inside info? Do you have a source.

If he had the server itself these games would be meaningless.

Your questions reminded me of one asked back during the Clinton administration: Who hired Craig Livingstone?

They hired Craig Livingstone. The same person that hired him in the WH hired him again.

It was a retraining program...

"Come on Hillary, let’s hear it one more time: “We’ve already answered these allegations. Can’t we just move on?”"

Another line the Clinton's like to use is it was a "completely honest bureaucratic snafu."

If I were the IT folks answering her “demand” to set up an unofficial server... I’d have da*n-sure put logging in there to a remote system. Some kind of dump of skimmed info to hold as a life insurance policy in case some of my coworkers started having accidents.
