[Daily Caller] In the very early days of Hillary Clinton's tenure at the State Department, top agency officials signed off on a plan to allow the then-secretary of state to use a "stand-alone PC" set up on a non-departmental computer network system so that she could check her personal email account.
The emails, which were obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch through a lawsuit, are the first to show how the State Department decided to allow Clinton to avoid using a state.gov email account.
In the email chain, dated Jan. 23-24, 2009, Clinton's chief of staff Cheryl Mills asks Lewis Lukens, the former deputy assistant secretary of state and executive director of the secretariat, about her and Clinton's use of Blackberries and about accessing email through a "non-DOS [Department of State] computer."
She also told Lukens that she spoke to someone else at State about "setting up Counselor office for HRC so she can go across hall regularly and check her email."

Pretty well explains why we've heard so very little from the DoS Information Management Officer (IMO), or the Contracting Office which would have obviously been responsible for funding maintenance of the clandestine system.
Somewhere in the Rantburg archives I am certain the possibility of a DoS sanctioned 'off-line' system was discussed. The fact that she declined the use of the U.S. State Department .gov system would have led to no other conclusion.
I wonder how many other top gov't 'leaders' employ similar 'off-line' digital avoidance systems ?

But for the sake of argument let us just suppose, given that time was available, that a foreign power monitoring the UNCLAS traffic of highly placed regime appointee(s), passed word to the attackers at Benghazi that a 'stand-down' order had been given. What then ?
Those 21 Clinton emails that Foggy Bottom says 'cannot be released' under any circumstance; can we safely assume at least some of those emails contained highly sensitive Special Access Program information? The kind of information that might be used in the tasking or re-tasking of in-extremis force rescue elements.
Would it be possible to at least have the dates of transmission of those 21 sensitive communiques? I thought not.
Of course the regime continues to insist that no 'stand-down' order was given, so why should we go there ?

What illegal sh*t is the beast hiding?
Treason. Organized and highly calculated treason. The selling of State secrets for donations to the Clinton Slush Fund euphemistically referred to as a Foundation.
The Clinton's are traitors through and through.
The State Department has long been a cesspool of Leftist traitors. It needs to be shutdown and all its staff investigated. Legal defense to be paid for by the individual staffers.

The DOS and Obama all said: "It was news to us!".
They all lied, many to a Federal Judge/Court. I would hope the Judge is not amused and feeling like a little "wrath of God" is due

Nixon was guilty of obstruction of justice. I am sure that WaPo and the NYT would give front page coverage day after day if Obama did something similar.~

So it seems Hillary told State she wanted to check her personal email.
Hence a separate computer system on a non-State network. Which in itself is not State allowing HRC to "avoid using a state.gov email account." Talk about hyperventilation.
What it does do, though, is place culpability directly on HRC and her people.

The last link in the culpability chain for anyone not a brain dead sycophant is to determine of Hilda actually ever had a SCIF access record, and a JWICS/SIPERNET account. She could not do her job as SecState without the classified information, so there should be copious records, certainly of the SCIF access, since the TS-SCI-SI-SAP programs could not have been discussed anywhere else outside. I suspect we all know the likely result of such an audit......
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
