Hillary Clinton Releases Tax Returns Going Back To 2007

For Clinton, as secretary of state, to have failed to note that material in her emails should have been classified and then to fail to remove it to a secure channel, if true, is a potentially serious security violation.

The finding that Abedin, who now serves as vice chairwoman of her presidential campaign, had improperly collected taxpayer money could damage Clinton’s candidacy, a GOP lawmakers insist that government rules were bent to benefit Clinton and her aides and at the same time could bolster Democratic claims that Republicans are using their oversight role to purposely damage Clinton politically.

Bush hit back at Clinton’s Cuba announcement in a statement issued from Miami, calling it “insulting” for her to “endorse a retreat in the struggle for democracy in Cuba”.

The inspector general said his office has found four emails containing classified information while reviewing a limited sample of 40 of the emails provided by Clinton. Good Lord, she really is serious about pretending she got filthy rich by “working hard” and pursuing the same American dream available to middle class voters.

A federal judge has ordered Hillary Clinton and two of her top aides at the State Department, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, to attest, under penalty of perjury, that they have turned over all official government records in their possession.

There were no stunning revelations in the emails released Friday, which reflected the workaday business of government.

According to her doctor’s assessment, Clinton’s cholesterol and blood pressure are in normal, healthy ranges, and she has had the major cancer screenings and exams recommended for someone her age.

The Clintons in 2013 each gave a series of speeches that brought in income of about $22.85m.

The Clinton campaign moved quickly to exploit the difference.

“We must decide between engagement and embargo, between embracing fresh thinking and returning to cold war deadlock”, she said. It reported that Clinton had fully recovered from the blood clot in her brain, for which she was treated in late 2012.

Former national security adviser Sandy Berger wrote Clinton in 2009 with advice on how to deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over negotiations with the Palestinians. To this day, it is unknown which documents were removed and there was no follow up investigation.

But there’s an even bigger lesson here: the apparent ham-handedness – still – of the U.S. State Department in handling potentially sensitive and secret information and keeping those communications secure at the same time it meets basic responsibilities under federal law to provide information that should be public to the public when it asks. State now faces about 30 lawsuits seeking some or all of the Clinton emails and playing out in front of a variety of different judges. Typically making at least $100,000 for an appearance and sometimes as much as $500,000, the Clintons kept up a hectic schedule that year and again in 2014, when they earned $20 million.

The goal is for the department to publicly unveil all 55,000 pages of her emails by January 29, 2016 – three days before Iowa caucus-goers cast the first votes in the Democratic presidential contest.
