State Department Turning Over New Hillary Clinton Benghazi Emails — Fox News
Clinton has previously claimed that she used the private server, clintonemail.com, throughout her tenure as nation’s secretary of state.
It’s raising questions of whether some of the emails on Clinton’s private email server were mistakenly deemed personal. They start on 10 January 2009, with Clinton using the older email account. “And now I’m being as transparent as possible, more than anybody else ever has been”, she said earlier this week.
“Hillary Clinton stated under penalty of perjury that she turned over all work-related emails on her secret server, but now it appears that is not the case”, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said.
According to news reports Friday, evidence suggests that neither of those claims is necessarily true. This was the reason she gave for not handing over any emails from those two months to the State Department.
Judicial Watch has been utilizing the federal court system to seek answers regarding Mrs. Clinton’s emails.
In addition, the State Department admitted Friday that it had not provided the House Select Committee on Benghazi with all of the emails related to the attacks that Clinton had turned over.
A senior State Department official tells ABC News it missed these the first time around because of the cumbersome nature of discovery process. The number of emails in that so-called handful? 925.
The State Department believes that by producing emails related to Libya but not explicitly related to Benghazi, it is going above and beyond what it has been expressly been asked to provide to the committee.
But the AP is reporting today that the Obama administration has discovered a chain of work-related emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to turn over when she provided those emails. The inspector general for the intelligence community and other investigators turned up copies of several emails that contained sensitive or classified information.
Abedin has always looked like a good candidate for a fall gal to protect Clinton from the consequences of mishandling classified and Top Secret information… a possibility that gathered steam on Thursday with the New York Times wondering if her aides caused all the trouble by sending such material to Clinton’s secret, insecure mail server.
Indeed, while Clinton is stuck in ethical quicksand, Republicans would do well to refocus their attacks not on her personal flaws but on the policies she and Biden support and their contributions to a disastrous foreign policy, a divisive presidency and dysfunctional partisanship in Washington. “The FBI is part of the government cover-up for their anointed President of the United States“, complained former police detective Sid Franes, who served as a U.S. Marine intelligence operative. The Senate Homeland Security Committee also is looking into the matter.
A State official declined to comment on how the Pentagon obtained the document. USA ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed.
Previously, it was assumed that the Clinton email scandal might extend into 2016.
While the CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary poll released this week showed growing support for the Vermont senator, it found waning support for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s White House bid.
