Read the angry emails Hillary Clinton's top aide sent to a bunch of reporters
[BusinessInsider] The heated exchange was the latest chapter in the growing controversy over Clinton's use of a private email address for official business when she was secretary of state from 2009 until 2013.

#1  It makes you wonder how left leaning the press is when they want to take down HRC. If BHO had used private email on official business they (the MSM) would never report it.

#2  ..the words are 'will never' not 'would never'. HRC can't hack their computers, or bank account, et al with the likes of various alphabet agencies.

#3  jvalentour, if this little thing makes you wonder how left leaning the press is you haven't been paying attention. At best they throw in something like this to give them some cover for their almost steady partisanship.




If I mistook sarcasm for real opinion, my bad.

#5  If your lying liar pants on fire source worked with me at a federal agency as you and they contend, did you ask them to provide even a single email exchange with my using that account?" Reines asked in the email,

So mature... If we ever find the emails they should prove to be real entertaining reading if this is an example.

#6  Judicial Watch has sued to obtain Hillary and Huma's emails. They have a fairly good record of obtaining things. Judicial Watch: H & H emails to Egypt.

Hildebeest State Department Ousted Ambassador Using Private Email
[Weekly Standard] In 2012, U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Scott Gration abruptly stepped down from his post. According to a Foreign Policy report by Josh Rogin (now a reporter for Bloomberg), Gration was the subject of a whithering evaluation from the State Department:

The impending release of a highly critical report by the State Department's Inspector General's office prompted the sudden resignation Friday of U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Scott Gration, according to administration and congressional sources.

The report was described to The Cable by multiple people briefed on its contents as one of the worst reviews of an ambassador's performance written by the IG's staff in several years.

While Gration was fired for a myriad of reasons, one passage of the damning report leaps out in light of recent events:

Very soon after the Ambassador's arrival in May 2011, he broadcast his lack of confidence in the information management staff. Because the information management office could not change the Department's policy for handling Sensitive But Unclassified material, he assumed charge of the mission's information management operations. He ordered a commercial Internet connection installed in his embassy office bathroom so he could work there on a laptop not connected to the Department email system. He drafted and distributed a mission policy authorizing himself and other mission personnel to use commercial email for daily communication of official government business. During the inspection, the Ambassador continued to use commercial email for official government business. The Department email system provides automatic security, record-keeping, and backup functions as required. The Ambassador's requirements for use of commercial email in the office and his flouting of direct instructions to adhere to Department policy have placed the information management staff in a conundrum: balancing the desire to be responsive to their mission leader and the need to adhere to Department regulations and government information security standards.

In other words, State Department policy was very clear. Using a private email outside the State Department's secure system was completely unacceptable. If this applied to ambassadors, one would think it was sensible policy for the Secretary of State as well.
A quick scan of the Ambassador's bio [at paragraph one] might provide additional insights into his termination.

#1  Ah, but was it legal for him to do so at the time?

#2  Rules are for the little people.

Not for our lords and masters.

USDA Announces Over $9 Million to Support Socially Disadvantaged Farmers, Ranchers and Vets
[USDA Website] Grants Will Help Diversify American Agriculture.

Albany, GA, February 6, 2015 -- Today, Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden announced over $9 million in grant funds will soon be available for outreach and technical assistance to minority and veteran farmers and ranchers. This funding will enable community-based organizations, eligible higher education institutions and tribal organizations to work directly with these groups to successfully acquire, own and operate farms and ranches and to access all USDA programs and services. These funds are being provided through the Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program, also known as the "2501 Program".
Tribal lands must be returned to their rightful owners. We will use the 'Veteran theme' that worked so well in Zimbabwe. The government 2501 Program will see to it.
