Obama reportedly used pseudonym to email with Clinton on her private server
The latest Federal Bureau of Investigation document cache also refers to the engineer who used BleachBit to permanently delete emails from Clinton’s server soon after the House Benghazi Committee issued a subpoena for documents relating to the 2012 attack on the United States embassy in Libya.
It didn’t end there.
Judge James Boasberg on Friday ordered the State Department to finish processing 1,050 pages of material for release by November 4-just a fraction of what could be as much as 10,000 pages of material. When he communicated these concerns to Mills, however, she said that Clinton’s predecessor, Colin Powell, had also used private email. “In light of this development, Hillary Clinton must immediately come forward and promise the American people that none of these individuals will ever serve in any capacity in her administration”.
One aide recalled helping Clinton replace BlackBerry devices three or four times during her tenure, once after the secretary spilled coffee on a device and again when one of the new devices began to “slowly fail over time”.
Clinton has said the decision to use a private email system was a mistake, but the controversy has dogged her campaign as the Democratic candidate for the presidency and raised public doubts about her trustworthiness, public opinion polls show.
The IPS official described a rush past year to vet 296 emails, culled from a review of 30,000, that were found to relate to a congressional review of the 2012 attack of the USA, diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
In one interview it appears that, top aide to Clinton, Huma Abedin, was shown an email in which a conversation took place between President Obama and Clinton, the only issue was that Abedin did not appear to recognize the name of the sender listed on the email. The official said she did not believe that the attorneys assigned to prepare the congressional response had the “appropriate training”.
The FBI and the White House have a lot of explaining to do now, but don’t expect them to do it willingly.
Even more confounding in this revelation was the fact that President Obama had claimed, back on March 7, 2015, that he learned about Clinton’s private email server the same way the public did, through the news agencies. ‘”How is this not classified?” “Abedin then expressed her amazement at the President’s use of a pseudonym and asked if she could have a copy of the e-mail”.
