How many more shoes need to drop before Hillary Clinton is properly declared guilty of conspiring to put National Secrets at risk? Why is this ‘server guy’ pleading the 5th? How did the rest of the State Department communicate with The Red Queen? Enquiring minds have been asking, but there’s one question I haven’t seen out there yet, so I thought I’d pose it. (Bernie, you can thank me later!)
Let’s examine the burning questions about Hillary’s private email, shall we?
1) Why did she have the server? The most plausible explanations seem to revolve around personal control and concealment of communications that she hoped would never see the light of day: Clinton Global Graft Initiative, sleazy deals (money, uranium, favors), sleazy characters (Sid Blumenthal, who even Obama wouldn’t employ), disrespectful comments (about Obama, Clarence Thomas, others).
2) Who did she communicate with? Not only the ne’er-do-wells of the world, and her personal staff who had accounts on the server, but who inside State did she exchange email with?
3) How did the classified information get onto her server, and who stripped off the classified markings before she received it? (And are those persons guilty of felonies for so doing?)
It’s beginning to look as though her aides (Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, maybe Jake Sullivan) were willfully ‘laundering’ classified documents en route to Hillary, and certainly the FBI has been trying to track how those classified messages got to her.
4) WHY would State Department staff, outside of her own loyal circle, send important, or classified, messages to an obviously external email address? (Or did EVERY email from State Department staffers go through Hillary’s gatekeepers, Huma and Cheryl?) This seemingly innocent question might yet blow the lid off the entire scheme!
5) Why would Hillary bring in her trusted IT guy from the 2008 campaign, when State already has a full IT staff? Why would she then pay the same IT guy, Bryan Pagliano, on the side to install and run her own server, creating an apparent conflict of interest?
Well, at the very least, in order for the State Department to function smoothly, a lot of people would need to communicate with Hillary, at least over the unclassified email system, but how many of those would send mail to hdr22 or hrod17 @clintonmail.com ?? I’m betting not many would be comfortable doing that, AND, even more importantly, I’m betting that Hillary would not want those addresses or the existence of the server to be broadly known.
What to do about it?? If you’ve got your very own IT ‘mole’ working on the State Department’s servers, you can set up email forwarding, so that messages addressed, for example, to hrc@state.gov automatically wing their way to the basement in Chappaqua for hdr22@clintonmail.com – so far, fairly simple, and fairly innocent, as long as the mail is actually unclassified.
Achieving the inverse – making mail from hdr22@clintonmail.com to an internal State Department recipient appear to come from hrc@state.gov via an internal server is a bit more tricky, but perfectly feasible if you’ve got the expertise and access, as Pagliano did – here’s one suggestion
So now we have a REALLY good reason why young Bryan might want to plead the 5th, not to mention what tends to happen to people who are in a position to unload ‘the goods’ on the Red Queen – suggestion: Study the trail of bodies that the Red Queen has left in her wake, and enter witness protection while you can!!
