Stephanopoulos Grills Hillary Clinton: Will You Accept Report Saying Your Email Server Broke Rules?
Hillary Clinton brushes off ABC's George Stephanopoulos (who was coincidentally, her husband's 1992 campaign communications director) when he asks if she accepts the findings of the Obama administration's state department inspector general's report which said that the practice of using a private server in her house to store all of her official government communications broke multiple rules. The report found that such actions not only violated Obama administration transparency rules regarding the preservation of official government communications, but was also not allowed under State Dept. rules.
At least some of the emails have been deleted permanently, making it impossible for people to search for potential conflicts of interest between Hillary's activities at the state department and Bill's activities at the Clinton Foundation.
Clinton does not explicitly deny anything, or make any solid claims to defend her actions, but after asking three separate times if she will accept the report's conculsions, Stephanopoulos surrenders: "So I'll take it that you don't accept their conclusion."
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Madam Secretary, on the e-mail issue, as you know, the State Department inspector general report was quite tough on your practices and it concluded -- and I want to show it right here -- that Secretary Clinton had an obligation to discuss using her personal e-mail account to conduct official business with their offices and, according to these officials, diplomatic security and the information resource management offices did not and would not approve your exclusive reliance on a personal e-mail account to conduct department business because of the restrictions in the foreign affairs manual and the security risks in doing so.
Do you now accept their conclusion that your exclusive use of a personal account was not allowed, that you broke State Department rules?
HILLARY CLINTON: Look George, I thought that the report actually made it clear that the practice I used was used by other Secretaries [of state], other high-ranking State Dept. officials...
If I had to do it over again, I certainly wouldn't, be I think that the rules were not clarified until after I had left, because it had been the practice of others... What I did was inkeeping with others' practices.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But, you were the only one who had exclusive use a personal account... they were very very clear---
Go ahead.
CLINTON: Well, George, I have to tell you that -- that, you know, I -- I will say it was a mistake. I would not do it again. But I think that the rules were not clarified until after I had left and the first secretary of State to use a government email account was John Kerry, some months into his tenure. Those are the facts.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But the -- the reports -- so you don't accept the conclusions of the report, because they say you were unmindful of the rules.
CLINTON: Everybody in the department knew that I was e-mailing from a personal address. Hundreds of people knew it. People around the government knew it. And, uh, you know, that was what the practice had been and that's what I did, as well.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So I'll take it that you don't accept their conclusion.
Just one other question on this.
Has there -- have you had any contact yet with the FBI, you or your agents, over this matter?
CLINTON: I -- I have not been asked to come in for an interview. I've said I am more than willing since last August and I would like to do that sooner instead of later and get this matter wrapped up and behind us.

Obama Administration Bars Release of Clinton's TPP Emails Until Post-Election
Response for FOIA request was 'abruptly' changed from spring 2016 to late November 2016
After initially saying that the requested materials would be made available in April, a U.S. State Department representative "abruptly" told Sirota last week, "Our office was recently informed that the search process has been completed and that the information located from that search is currently being prepared for the review process.
The new estimated completion date for your request is November 31, 2016."

The political establishment is totally corrupt.
Still waiting for ANYBODY here to show us how to un the America of the 99%, how Take Our Country Back from BigCorp, BigFinance, the MIC, the 1%.
Where is that article that said the mainstream lamestream media would coordinate and headline "Shillary Clinches" the morning of heated California race? Thereby trying to discourage the Bernies from voting.
Spot on.
yep, AP's "look at us first-movers, scoopers" giving the nomination to Hillary the eve of super Tue is obviously "queen making" by the media, anti-democratic, and screws Bernie by discouraging his voters from going to the polls.
American "democracy" is a long-dead, a con game for suckers, like all the myths about America.
BigFinance pulls all the strings for both parties.
Wall St bought Hillary and Wall St will damn sure take delivery.
Where is the link that predicted it? I know someone posted it. Cannot find on Google now. Did mainstream erase it?![]()
link? it was all over cable news last night, ALL channels, non-stop.
Notice my question was were is the article that PREDICTED it? Not the lamestream b.s. that appeared last night and thuout today.
Days ago, a week ago maybe. Somebody on ST posted it.
The point being the lamestream networks planned in advance they were going to collude to announce it last night. What a coinkydink, on the eve of Berns potentially taking Calif and closing the gap on the real delegates, not the paid off *Super* frauds.
People have been predicting Hillary as guaranteed since she romped in NY.
Apparently it is an article you are unaware of.
These aren't general "people".
It was an article on a plan by lamestream media to launch the news.
Obviously backed by both establishment Repugs-Trump and Shillary as neither of them want to Bernie Boat to launch.
Which it could with a win in Calif and some other states today.
She's won the nomination by pretty much any metric at this point.
Ironic. I think Obama getting behind her is ultimately going to push her old ass over the finish line vs trump.
watching Barry plow the Republican Party for a 3rd time will be amusing.
"push her old ass over the finish line vs trump"
Obama's endorsement is meaningless compared to Trash's self-destruction, even before Hillary's oppo research ads trash Trash.
Trash alienated, insulted so many groups he has even less of a chance than the typical Repug.
Dishonest, self-enriching strategy of the media is to "normalize" Trash up as legit and demonize Hillary down, to create a totally false "compe ive" campaign to keep their ad $Bs flowing.
This election is over. Trash will lose by historic %age, in the 60 - 40 range.
She has had the nomination effectively locked up for a while now. The question is do we Bernie supporters hold our nose, try not to vomit and actually vote for her or do we go with our hearts and vote for Trump.
FBI offers second secret filing in Clinton email suit

The FBI is offering a federal judge a second secret glimpse into the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.
The Justice Department asked a federal judge Monday to accept "additional details" under seal about how the FBI conducted its search for records a Vice News journalist requested under the Freedom of Information Act from the law enforcement agency about the probe it is conducting into Clinton's email set-up and how classified information came to reside in the Democratic presidential candidate's account.
"These details supplement defendant’s showing that it conducted a reasonable search, but cannot be disclosed on the public record without compromising information that the FBI seeks to protect," Justice Department lawyers wrote, citing FOIA exemption for ongoing government investigations and enforcement actions.
It's the second time the Justice Department has sought to give U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss a secret update on the high-profile, Clinton-related inquiry.
In March, government lawyers submitted a classified filing in the lawsuit brought by Vice News reporter Jason Leopold seeking various details about the case, including the contents of Clinton's server which was turned over to the FBI last August.
Leopold's lawyers objected to the secret filing and asked that an edited version of the submission be put on the public record.
The government declined, saying it had explained the situation as fully as possible in other public filings and could not add to those without undermining the interests protected by the FOIA exemption at issue.
In an order last month, Moss essentially accepted the first secret submission, but said he'll attempt to resolve the case based on the public pleadings and "will only rely on the ex parte filing to the extent necessary to do so."

Clinton tech aide asks court to withhold details of FBI immunity deal
The State Department aide who helped set up Hillary Clinton’s private email server asked a federal court to withhold details about his immunity deal with the FBI on Tuesday afternoon.
A federal judge had ordered Bryan Pagliano, Clinton’s personal IT aide, to turn over information about an immunity deal he reached with the FBI in connection to the investigation of Clinton’s private email server.
Pagliano filed a motion to seal the do ent on Tuesday afternoon, which could keep details of the agreement shielded from the public if approved by U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan.
Pagliano filed the motion in response to an ongoing lawsuit against the State Department by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.
Judge Sullivan recently ruled that Judicial Watch’s attorneys could depose Pagliano in the case, but the former IT aide indicated he would exercise his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during the questioning. Pagliano’s attorneys are also fighting to prevent the deposition from being videotaped.
Sullivan asked Pagliano’s attorneys last week to submit a legal memo explaining the basis for his Fifth Amendment plea, “including requisite details pertaining to the scope of Mr. Pagliano’s reported immunity agreement with the Government.”
The Clinton aide’s lawyers turned over the information and motion to seal hours before the Tuesday evening deadline. The motion must still be approved by Judge Sullivan.

It's actually a simple answer if you aren't trying to be re ed.
Amen... but let's not pretend that this primary was democracy. Just look at the superdelegate count when there shouldn't even be superdelegates. And you will never lay eyes on those wall street speech transcripts until maybe her presidential library reveals them as trophies 5 or 10 years from now.
