HRC changes story, admits she didn't have permission for secret email server
2016-10-14
[Wash Times] Hillary Clinton admitted under oath this week that she doesn’t recall asking anyone for permission to use a secret server and email account during her time in the State Department, contradicting previous public pronouncements that she had received approval.

Mrs. Clinton said she didn’t recall seeing a 2011 warning about increased hacking attempts on senior department officials’ private accounts and that she didn’t actually write another warning that was sent under her name.

"Secretary Clinton states that she does not recall being advised, cautioned, or warned during her tenure as Secretary of State about hacking or attempted hacking of her clintonemail.com e-mail account or the server that hosted her clintonemail.com account," she said in sworn testimony dated Monday and filed in federal court Thursday.

A judge had ordered Mrs. Clinton to provide testimony as he decides whether the State Department fully complied with the Freedom of Information Act, which gives the public a right to see its public officials’ records -- including emails that contain government business.

Mrs. Clinton for years foiled that law by using her secret account, which was tied to a server she kept at her home in New York, and which effectively shielded her emails from any sort of open records oversight. She returned some 30,000 messages in December 2014, nearly two years after she left government, and the FBI said it recovered thousands more that she failed to turn over.

#3  Besoeker: Referring to your last line: HRC has finally told the truth about something. She probably did not mean to tell the truth judging from her past behavior.

#1  I could not have imagined any Information Management officer (IMO) or Special Security Officer (SSO) granting permission for such a system.

But wait, there's more! No permission for system(s) means any gov't business (classifed or otherwise) conduted over 'homebrew' servers was conducted in violation of the law.

Not that any of this means anything, but please make a note - HRC has finally told the truth about something.
