[Wash Times] President Champ communicated with Hillary Rodham Clinton via email but didn't know the "details" of how his secretary of state was using a private, off-the-books email address, the White House said Monday.
"They did have the occasion to email one another. ... Makes sense, since he appointed her and was her supervisor.
He was not aware of the details of how that email address and how that server had been set up or how Secretary Clinton and her team were planning to comply with the Federal Records Act," White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters. "The president did email with Secretary Clinton. I assume he recognized the email he was emailing back to." Recognized them did he? Please explain 'how' he recognized them when most if not all, failed to contain her name ?
It was revealed last week that Mrs. Clinton did not use an official government email address during her four years in charge of the State Department and conducted all business on a private account. The administration previously has said the president learned of the email scandal via news reports. My bad Josh, we should have never sent you out there with this. It simply doesn't make any sense at all.
Mr. Earnest also said that all of Champ's emails have been properly preserved in accordance with federal record-keeping requirements. As a result, all of Mr. Obama's emails with Mrs. Clinton have been saved, Mr. Earnest said. Nice walk-back Josh. Please tell us when the White House plans to release the e-mails you have mentioned.
[Breitbart] Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," National Journal editorial director Ron Fournier said the only way former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could end the scandal over reports that while serving as Secretary of State, she was exclusively emailing all official State Department business using her private email account on a server stored at her residence, is to release that server so all emails can be independently reviewed.
Fournier said, "She can't solve this by words. You can't spin you way out of this, intimidate your way out of this or blame the Republicans out of this. This is a problem she created, and I have a lot of respect for the secretary, it's a problem she can solve."
Fournier continued, "She can release the server with all the emails on it. That's our server, not hers and she can have the foundation return all foreign donations." Ron, Ron, Ron... don't be delusional. Her lieutenants were rummaging through Vince Foster's office before he had fully bled out. That server is long gone.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski agreed saying "I do think it's our server."
Joe Scarborough added "No doubt about it. It is, period."

Server: noun. A miraculous machine that miraculously stores every file or email that passes thru it without miraculously deleting the incriminating ones.

Hard drives in question have likely already been degaussed, disassembled and thermite treated. All backups (tape and otherwise) done the same. There will be no evidence.

I wonder if you might consider the manufacture date of the server to a avoid being duped by rewrite. I have to believe she is sweating bullets about who hacked and what power that might give over her. That she has sent flacks out to argue her defense is vintage Clinton but betrays a weakness, she cannot argue persuasively about why she did this and cannot take the heat of direct, adversarial questioning. A fatal flaw when she must debate.

If she's wiped her servers that will only slow the investigation marginally and will likely prove incriminating rather quickly.
Consider:
Many of the messages to / from her servers will probably have .gov senders / recipients and will thus have passed through federal servers presumably subject to our records laws. No reason to believe that those aren't archived and therefore discoverable via queries on the federal side for to / from addresses.
Similarly since we now know quite a few email addresses she was utilizing and because email tends to generate call / response type communications in which the call is often quoted back as part of the response complete with the original message headers (and sender's email address) there's reason to believe that searches of the bodies of archived communications in various agencies for her various email aliases would turn up a good but of data as well.
The above would take a few minutes in the private sector so let's allow the bureaucracy a half-day. Cross-reference whatever is found on the federal side vs what the Hildebeeste coughs up and whatever is recovered from her servers and there won't be enough beer and popcorn on the planet to last through the hilarity that will ensue as she attempts to explain the gaps.
Yes, they could have taken steps to cover her tracks but a) I don't think the Clintons are that savvy / careful; b) it would take a monumental effort to educate the troops and enforce that sort of discipline across the board; and c) those sorts of activities leave tracks and raise questions of their own.
[The Weekly Standard] "We do get money from other countries, and some of them are in the Middle East. And the money that we raised in the last couple of years are for an endowment so all these programs will run forever even when I get to the point when I can't raise the money every year, are from people who have helped us before, and I think it's a good thing," said the former president. Notice his choice of words, saying he...."thinks it's a good thing," as opposed to saying it is legal.

I read that paragraph as saying the endowment to keep the thing going after he can't bring in funding is the good thing. It ignores the corruption factor -- and yes, the legality --altogether. In other words, typical Bill C.

Meanwhile in the office down the hall, the Climatists are running their 'guilt by association' against anyone who doesn't receive government funding, ie they've been bought. Amazing how they use the same game to push their agendas. One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee.

The Clintons have been doing this a very long time. The lefty rubes must not have caught on yet as Hillary is about 60% in polls over other left-wing candidates. They must either not know or are O.K. with corruption.
[Daily Caller] Hillary Clinton's desire to keep documents that could incriminate her out of the public eye is nothing new and she explained why she never even writes anything down to PBS "News Hour" host Jim Lehrer in a 1996 interview.
Clinton is currently under scrutiny for using a private e-mail address for government business from a personal server during her time as secretary of state in the Obama administration.
Lehrer asked her, "Are you keeping a diary, you keep good notes of what's happening?"
Clinton responded, "Heavens no! It could get subpoenaed! I don't write anything down."
Clinton and her husband's lack of keeping documentation goes back to the scandals involving the Clinton White House's mishandling of FBI files of GOP members of Congress. Clinton never divulged who hired Craig Livingstone, the man who mysteriously ended up collecting all the files.

Tudor Saliba et al., is the sleaziest, scummiest, and most dishonest general contracting firm on this planet.
I know they were essentially escorted off the job site for their "work" on the SFO project...twenty years after they were escorted off the job site at SFO on an earlier series of modernizations.
I know a number of large public entities that spit when someone mentions their name.
The US Navy has them blacklisted as does the USACE.
How on earth can they get public work in California when they should have been banned for their work?
Blum's wife, Senator Dianne Feinstein, has received scrutiny due to her husband's government contracts and extensive business dealings with China and her past votes on trade issues with the country. Blum has denied any wrongdoing, however. Critics have argued that business contracts with the US government awarded to a company (Perini) controlled by Blum may raise a potential conflict-of-interest issue with the voting and policy activities of his wife. URS Corp, which Blum had a substantial stake in, bought EG&G, a leading provider of technical services and management to the U.S. military, from The Carlyle Group in 2002; EG&G subsequently won a $600m defense contract.
In 2009 it was reported that Blum's wife Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to provide $25 billion in taxpayer money to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, a government agency that had recently awarded her husband's real estate firm, CB Richard Ellis, what the Washington Times called "a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms."
The United States Postal Service has entered into an exclusive contract with CB Richard Ellis to sell buildings that currently house post offices.

The firms bid $985,142,530 to build the wildly anticipated first section of high speed rail track that will tie the megopolis of Madera to the global finance center of Fresno.
Heck, for that kind of money you build a web site.

Iff 21st Century CHINA = so-called "NEW JAPAN" of the late 20th Century, by extension China's metal products may have the same poor or problematic reputation of the "Japanese Shackle" + "Japanese Steel" from the last Century = DON'T RIDE OR USE CA'S RAIL SYSTEM, ETC. UNLESS EVERYTHING-N-I-MEAN-EVERYTHING IS TRIPLE-CHECKED + BACK-UP SYSTEMS ARE IN PLACE.
[Iran Press TV] Sen. Dianne Feinstein ...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator.... has called recent remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Congress "arrogant" saying that no US ally would do what Netanyahu has done.
I realize it's catty to say so, but when I first woke up yesterday morning to see her on "Meet the Press" or whatever it was, my first thought was that after a certain age deep brown hair dye does not lend a youthful appearance to the face underneath it. Also, she was speaking party line nonsense.
Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, was referring to an anti-Iran speech Netanyahu delivered at Congress on March 3 to persuade American politicians to put more pressure on Tehran during nuclear negotiations.
During his speech, Netanyahu said that Israel has been saying for "over a year that no deal is better than a bad deal. Well this is a bad deal, a very bad deal. We're better off without it."
"The alternative to this deal is a much better deal. A better deal that doesn't leave Iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure and such a short breakout point," the premier added.
Feinstein said that "what Prime Minister Netanyahu did here was something that no ally of the United States would have done".
No ally of America has needed to, previously. But one suspects this administration is not working with a team in Israel to sabotage Iran's uranium centrifuges.

Cause they won't go quietly into the boxcars again?

If you live in a neighborhood where everyone wants you dead, some more actively than others, you are going to be either spunky or dead. Rather than bow down to the student council that is running our government, Netanyahu expressed some existential concerns and tried to get people to pay attention.
You can ignore looming danger right up until the moment you can't.

Anyone Feinstein identifies with who was involved in the Holocaust was an implementer, not victim.

At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator.... and needs to be retired, she is so out of touch, she probably sleeps through her sessions in the Senate Intelligence Committee meetings.

What you call arrogance I call being the leader of the free world. That's certainly not UK, France or USA.

Coming from this woman?
Look at her and her corrupt husband.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
