Hildebeest abandoned secure line to use home phone, new email shows
"I give up. Call me on my home [number]," Clinton told then-chief of staff Cheryl Mills in a February 2009 email after more than an hour of trouble trying to communicate via a secure line. That would be the same Cheryl Mills who stormed out of an FBI interview last week. "I just spoke to ops and called you reg line -- we have to wait until we see each other b/c [the] technology is not working," Mills said in another email sent at almost exactly the same time. "Pls try again," responded Clinton, a few moments later. It’s unclear whether the two did connect or if they moderated any discussion they may have had to avoid sensitive topics while on an unsecure landline. But the episode is likely to cause concern among critics of Clinton, who have previously accused her of resorting to unsecure forms of communication out of convenience, potentially jeopardizing sensitive information. Another email of Clinton’s, released in January, appeared to show her telling a top aide to remove identifying details and send a sensitive document through a "nonsecure" channel instead of via "secure fax." "This drip, drip of new Clinton emails show Hillary Clinton could not care less about the security of her communications," said Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, in a statement releasing Thursday’s email. "How many other smoking gun emails are Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators in the Obama administration hiding from the American people?" Posted by: Besoeker 2016-05-14 |
