Why did Clinton set up a private server and use it for all her work e-mails as Secretary of State?

Oh no, now a civil case


Why a Lawsuit Could Hurt Clinton More Than the FBI Probe


Why a Civil Case Over Emails Could Hurt Hillary Clinton More Than the FBI

May 17, 2016

Two top aides will testify


Every year for more than two decades, the conservative watchdog groupJudicial Watch has filed scores of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documents from the federal government, many in pursuit of a favorite target: Bill and Hillary Clinton. Now, with FOIA case No. F-2013-08812, they may finally have hit the political jackpot.

Two close Clinton aides, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, will testify under oath this month and next Judicial Watchannounced today. The judge in the casesaid earlier this month he may force Clinton herself to testify after the first round of interviews is completed. That has set up the prospect of the Democratic front-runner for the White House facing off under oath against one of her most dogged pursuers as early as July, just months before the November election.


Clinton may have violated civil law if she intentionally thwarted FOIA or the Federal Records Act, which requires public officials to take a number of steps to preserve and make public their work related documents, according to experts and judges handling the matter in the courts. Which means that for many voters it will be Clinton’s trustworthiness that is on trial in the FOIA case.

Being under oath didn't stop her beloved hubby from lying like a rug, did it?

I dont blame her on that one. No way you should use the Whitehouse's computer network if you are a politician.

So the Russians and Chinese would have easier access to the information stored there, of course.

So she could delete the emails about selling access.

Simple. She didn't want her personal correspondence made public. You can't blame her for that.

Her mistake was using it for work correspondence as well. Stupid of her. I believe she regrets that decision.

Fortunately, she knew which was which and didn't break any laws. So.....all you get to hit her on is questionable judgement regarding here email server choices. Who knows...maybe it will be enough to get John Miller into the White House. Best of luck.

The real question is , why was is allowed ? And . Why did people email her outside server?

 

[Iceweasel]

The fact that she deleted some 30,000 emails answers the question.

Just wondering . Do people think NO pols talk work biz on their personal email and texts ? And does that make all you emails n texts public property ?
