Congressional Committee Investigating Benghazi Officially Requests Hillary Clinton Hand Over her Email Server

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, RIGHT HILLARY?

The House committee investigating Benghazi headed by Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) has officially requested on Friday that Hillary Rodham Clinton turn her email server over to an independent third party to determine whether she and the Obama administration complied with open-records laws. At the heart of the issue is whether Hillary Clinton has previous complied with committee requests in turning over any and all documents when it comes to Benghazi, where four Americans, including US Ambassador Stevens. Seeing that Hillary Clinton had all of her emails on her own private server and has stated that she would not hand them over to a third party for review, it would appear that this request will fall on deaf ears.

Let’s face it, Obama, Clinton and the State Department have zero credibility when it comes to Benghazi. Even liberals know Benghazi was an Obama White House lie.

Emails. what emails?

The committee investigating Benghazi formally requested Friday that Hillary Rodham Clinton turn her email server over to an independent third party so it can be scrutinized to determine whether she and the Obama administration complied with open-records laws.

Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy sent a letter to the former secretary of state’s personal lawyer making the request, which he said only comes after “exhaustive efforts” to get a look at her communications during the time of the 2012 terrorist attack on the diplomatic post in Libya’s second-largest city.

“Though Secretary Clinton alone is responsible for causing this issue, she alone does not get to determine its outcome,” the South Carolina Republican said.

Trey Gowdy to Hillary Clinton lawyer: Turn over server to third party.

House Republicans have sought access to the server since the news earlier this month that Clinton used a private email for official purposes during her time at State and her documents were not stored within the State Department, but instead on a private server off-site.

Clinton regained control over those emails but turned over thousands of pages of documents to the State Department for release — except personal emails that Clinton said during a press conference focus on more mundane matters like yoga, her daughter’s wedding and family vacations.

But the exclusion of thousands of emails from the State Department’s review prompted questions from Republicans that Clinton may have withheld official correspondence from her time at State. Gowdy was one of the first Republicans to call for Clinton to make the server available for review — a request Speaker John Boehner joined earlier this week.

“The committee must have objective assurances it, and by extension the House of Representatives as a whole, has received all relevant information requested and necessary for a thorough investigation into what happened before, during and after the attacks in Benghazi, Libya,” Gowdy wrote in the letter.

This scandal is going to dog Hillary all the way to 2016.

The State Department Finally Admits There is No Record of Hillary Clinton Signing the OF-109 Separation Statement (Video)

I would say UNREAL, but this is Hillary Clinton we are talking about …

The Politico is reporting that the State Department is finally admitting that they have no record of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s signed OF-109, a standard separation staement form declaring that she surrendered all official records before leaving her post in 2013. Imagine that. For the past week or so State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki has been performing the 5 D’s of dodge-ball (Dodge! Duck! Dip! Dive! And… dodge) that even Patches O’Houlihan would be proud of when it came to answering whether the form had been signed by Hillary. Hmm, wonder why someone wouldn’t sign a form declaring that they surrendered all official records before leaving their post when they had all their emails on their own personal server? But as Hillary would say, What difference does it make.

The State Department has no record that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a standard form declaring that she surrendered all official records before leaving her post in 2013, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Critics of Clinton, including the Republican National Committee, said she might have committed a crime by signing the form despite having tens of thousands of work-related emails in a personal account. She provided copies of those emails to her former agency in December.

“We have reviewed Secretary Clinton’s official personnel file and administrative files and do not have any record of her signing the” form, State spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters at a regular briefing.

State Department: Hillary Clinton Did Not Sign Exit Statement

Sorry, but there is no way this woman should ever even be considered for the office of the presidency when you can’t even trust her as Secretary of State. After 8 years of Bill Clinton America was just so scandal weary and having just spent 8 years of Obama with too many scandals to name, how could this country stomach another Clinton?

Hillary Clinton Bombs in Email-Gate Presser … ‘Opted for Convenience’ … Will Not Allow Independent Commission to Examine All of the Emails or Server

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT PRIVATE DELETED EMAIL IS …

Hillary Clinton underwhelms during presser on Email-gate. Her prepared statements spin was one thing. Her Q & A was a disaster. If she thought she was going to put out the fire created by this controversy, she might want to think again. During her press conference she admitted to deleting person emails. Really, who is to say they were person, Hillary? Why should we be surprised? This is what it was like during the 8 years of the Bill Clinton presidency, one set of rules for us and a second set for the Clinton’s. So Hillary not only uses a private email account, by a private server as well. All this while she told members of the State Department to use government email. Same old Clinton games.

“When I got to work as secretary of State, I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department, because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two,” she said, referring to the use of one mobile phone to check her email. “Looking back, it would have been better if I’d simply used a second email account and carried a second phone, but at the time, this didn’t seem like an issue.”

Clinton spoke at a highly anticipated Tuesday press conference that clocked in at just under 21 minutes, after keynoting a Women’s Empowerment Principles event at the United Nations in New York. The room she spoke in resembled a mosh pit, with dozens of reporters, along with 20-some cameras, packed inside. The former secretary of State appeared undaunted by the barrage of questions throughout the press conference. She opened with comments about the Clinton Foundation’s work to advance women’s rights, a nod to her preceding speech and a thinly veiled suggestion to the press to focus on something other than her emails.

[...]

After reviewing which emails to send to State, Clinton said she deleted personal correspondence, which her office says totaled 31,830 messages—more than half of the total emails she sent or received during her time as secretary of State. “I chose not to keep my private, personal emails—emails about planning Chelsea’s wedding or my mother’s funeral arrangements, condolence notes to friends, as well as yoga routines, family vacations—the other things you typically find in inboxes. No one wants their personal emails made public, and I think most people understand that and respect that privacy.”

The HUFFPO has 13 questions for Hillary Clinton.

UPDATE I: She acknowledges deleting thousands of personal emails in her first remarks on the controversy.

Yet in an act of defiance certain to stoke a new round of questioning, Clinton said she had no intention of turning over any of the approximately 30,000 emails she deemed “personal” for the sake of her family’s “privacy” — exchanges she said included planning for her daughter Chelsea’s wedding and her mother’s funeral, correspondence with her husband and her yoga schedule.

“Going through the emails, there were over 60,000 in total, sent and received. About half were work-related and went to the State Department, and about half were personal,” said Clinton. “I had no reason to save them, but that was my decision.

“For any government employee, it is that government employee’s responsibility to determine what is personal and what is work-related.”

When a reporter asked Clinton if she planned to allow an independent commission to examine all of the emails on her personal server, she responded with a flat — no way.

“The server contains personal communications from my husband and me,” Clinton said of the system, which was originally set up to handle Bill Clinton’s post-presidential correspondence. “And the server will remain private.”

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest Admits President Obama Knew Hillary Clinton Had a Private Email Address

LIAR IN CHIEF ALERT: THAT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR THE WH TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN OBAMA’S LIES ON SUNDAY THAT HE JUST LEARNED ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON’S EMAILS …

Shocker … White House spokesman Josh Earnest stated today that President Barack Obama was aware of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email address, even though the Barack Obama himself said he first learned about her private account from news reports during an interview with CBS News yesterday. Can you say pathetic? As opined at The Blaze, Earnest tried to explain Monday what Obama really meant in an interview with CBS News, when asked if that mean there were no emails between the two. Seriously America, why would Obama, the do-called great orator need Earnest to explain Monday what he really meant? What’s the matter Barack, was your teleprompter not handy during the interview?

“The president, as I think many people expected, did over the course of his first several years in office trade emails with the secretary of state,” Earnest said. “I would not describe the number of emails as large, but they did have the occasion to email one another.”

“The point the president was making was not that he didn’t know Secretary Clinton’s email address. He did,” Earnest said. “But, he was not aware of the details of how that email address and that server had been set up or how Secretary Clinton and her team were planning to comply with the federal record law.”

Bull, the question was, when was the first time he learned that Hillary Clinton was using an email system outside the US government for official business while she was Secretary of State? Obama answered, the same time everybody else did. Sorry Charlie, you have passed yourself off as the first tech savvy, Internet using, social media, blackberry using president. You knew damn well that an email account not ending in .gov was not on a government server. To say otherwise not only make you a liar, but a bold-faced liar.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS INCAPABLE OF TELLING THE TRUTH.

Mark Halperin Says, “I Now Think she’s not only easily the most Likely, I don’t think she’s any more the most Likely”

Mark Halperin of Bloomberg News expresses his now skepticism that Hillary Clinton is the most likely Democrat nominee for the 2016 presidential race. The libs on the ABC This Week panel scoffed at the notion; however, a recentt Fox News poll shows Hillarty Clinton’s honesty rating drop. Just 44% say the label “honest” describes her, while 52% disagree.  This is down from just a year ago, by a 54-42 percent margin, voters said Clinton was “honest and trustworthy”. Emails are not a wonky subject, everyone can pretty much understand the issue at hand. Liberals think that this is a media driven scandal, but is it? After 8 years of a faux-transparency presidency, are Americans really going to want 4 more years of the same?

Bloomberg News’ Mark Halperin has changed his mind over Hillary Clinton’s chances of becoming president because of the news that Hillary used a private email while at the State Department and told ABC’s This Week, that she’s all but done as a candidate. That’s a pretty big turnaround over a story that hasn’t birthed any damning information about the former first lady at his time.

Halperin is now the unofficial leader of #ItstheEndOfHillaryClintonAsPresidentHooah! club.

MARK HALPERIN, BLOOMBERG NEWS: I said a few weeks ago on this show that I thought she was easily the most likely president of the United States. I now think not only is she because of this as a symptom and a cause, I now think she’s not only easily the most likely, I don’t think she’s any more the most likely.

I think it’s important to hold all politicians accountable for their actions, but Halperin’s breathless condemnation of Hillary Clinton is off the wall.
