| Doesn't Make a Lot of Sense. | |

| Bombshell emails from the State Department show that a top official at the agency suggested to Hillary Clinton's aide, Huma Abedin, in August 2011 that the then-secretary of state begin using a government email account to protect against unexpected outages of her private email server. So, the State Department lied. But as the emails show, Abedin pushed back on the suggestion, telling the official, Stephen D. Mull, then the executive secretary of the State Department, that a State-issued Blackberry equipped with a state.gov email address "doesn't make a lot of sense." It makes sense if you want to hide your emails from FOI requests. Besides showing that Clinton's top aides were against the idea of her using a state.gov email account, the emails show for the first time that top State Department officials were aware of Clinton's private email server arrangement. The Daily Caller obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed on its behalf by the government watchdog group, Cause of Action.

| #4 The British have long been helping NSA get around US domestic spying limitations by spying on the US and then sharing the gathered intelligence with NSA. One would think that the Brits have every single one of Hilldabeasts's emails; Ash Carter's too. |

| #3 I suspect that's because a fair bit of what she did as Sec. of State was to help the Clinton Foundation and not our country. Partly that. Partly also because I suspect a lot of the administration's foreign policy schtuff was being kept "off the books." I've no doubt that government-via-private-email is rampant and has been since 2008. |

| #2 Why should we be interested in what Hillary communicates to her wife? |

| #1 So both Abedin and Mull knew that there would likely be security violations resulting from the Beest's use of a private, UNCLAS system. The Beest was violating Foggy Bottom communications policy as well as the law, and these two foks were complicit. Time for some indictments. |
