Breaking Press Release: Hillary Clinton Ignores Select Committee Subpoena, Wipes Email Servers Clean

Direct and willful violation of the spirit and letter of the Federal Records Act. This is exactly why the FRA was passed and enacted.

Statement Regarding Subpoena Compliance and Server Determination by Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Select Committee on Benghazi


March 27, 2015 Press Release Washington, DC—Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy today issued the following statement regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s response to the committee’s subpoena. She failed to produce a single new document and refused to relinquish her server to a neutral, detached third party for an independent review of potential public records:

“After seeking and receiving a two week extension from the Committee, Secretary Clinton failed to provide a single new document to the subpoena issued by the Committee and refused to provide her private server to the Inspector General for the State Department or any other independent arbiter for analysis.

“We learned today, from her attorney, Secretary Clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all emails from her personal server. While it is not clear precisely when Secretary Clinton decided to permanently delete all emails from her server, it appears she made the decision after October 28, 2014, when the Department of State for the first time asked the Secretary to return her public record to the Department.

“Not only was the Secretary the sole arbiter of what was a public record, she also summarily decided to delete all emails from her server ensuring no one could check behind her analysis in the public interest.”

Your source seems a "tiny bit" biased. Just sayin'. lol

Your source seems a "tiny bit" biased. Just sayin'. lol

The source is from the House of Representatives.

Exactly. The same source that wasted tax-payer funds on seven separate, fruitless, idiotic Benghazi investigations that turned up nothing untoward.

If true she will never be President.

Typical of the crooked, self-serving bitch.

Prosecute her for every law she broke and let the Democrats' only candidate run from a prison cell.

 

[EricJ]

I can only imagine the shrieking, gnashing of teeth, hatred, and vitriol filled anti-Obama rants of the right had a Republican candidate been asked to turn over an e-mail server that is after all, private property!

But since it's a Democratic candidate, the right is fine with it. BTW, I'd have wiped my server to protect my privacy as well.

But any government emails on it were government property, according to US Law, and she wilfully destroyed them. She should be prosecuted for obstruction of justice and any other crimes that apply, and given prison time. When that happens, maybe she can be president of her cell block.

We can only hope. She's as well qualified for the job as the current occupant of the office.

The request was lame. Now, start telling us what law she has broken.

All official emails would have been saved on government servers.

 

[TemplarKormac]

She broke the law. She destroyed government documents.

THROW THE BOOK AT HER.

 

[TemplarKormac]

All official emails would have been saved on government servers.

Not really. Not if all of your government business was conducted on a private server. There exists the possibility that such a private server would contain official government correspondence.

Whoops.

 

[EricJ]

She broke the law. She destroyed government documents.

THROW THE BOOK AT HER.

No she didn't. When you send an email to [email protected] it's saved on government servers. Why is this so hard to understand?

Because she conducted all of her government business from a private server. And if they were saved on a government server, why didn't the government turn all of it over? Why did she classify it as "personal correspondence" between her and her husband?

 

[JimH52]

gop desperation abounds because there is no one in sight that can come close to defeating Hillary. They just keep throwing sh*t against the wall hoping something sticks....sort of like Benghazi. Another waste of Tax Payers money.

No she didn't. When you send an email to [email protected] it's saved on government servers. Why is this so hard to understand?

It has ready come out that she also allowed her staff to use private emails, so that assertion is false. And if she sent emails to private accounts she had to know it. She had to look at the email address. She knowingly conceiled and destroyed official government documents in order to cover her tracks.

She deserves nothing less than prison. She also deserves to be disbarred like her crooked husband.

 

[Obiwan]

And as far as emails from her husband go, he has already stated that he has only sent 2 emails in his life, and neither one was to her.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Hilary Clinton is setting the standard. Private email servers and fire back comebacks such as, "At this point, what difference does it make?" What goes around, comes around.
