Hillary's Campaign Kickoff


Recommended Posts

it's this kind of crap one of the reasons I cant stand her. Stumping for environmentalist votes she belches out some outlandish promise that she as president would not have unilateral authority to deliver on.

Like all liberal causes, they never explain how we will pay for it.

That only requires about a doubling of world output, all consumed by the US.

 

I'm sure that's practical.

A friend of mine was telling me that the NY Times story on the Clinton eMail thing has been debunked. So I did a little research. I found this article on Newsweek date July 24: http://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-new-york-times-emails-357246

 

One thing the author mentions I have not seen before.

 

Second, contrary to the implication from the first Times story, Clinton’s emails sent in her role as secretary of state were automatically saved into a secure data system under the control of the department. In fact, where does the Times think the FOIA offices for the State Department and the intelligence community are finding the 55,000 pages of emails now under review that it cites in its new story? Are officials breaking into Clinton’s house in the middle of the night to examine them by flashlight? Nope. They are pulling them off of the system under the department’s control.

 

The first bolded part I'm not so sure about. I thought a big part of this was that since she used her own server this stuff wasn't captured. From a technical perspective I suppose this is possible somehow but not sure how. Part of Hillary's excuse was that she always copied in someone with a government account so it would be captured. (Except when she didn't want it captured of course.)

 

The second bolded part I thought they were getting them from the 10 yard high stack of hard copy she had sent them. Did they only capture the ones that didn't involve planning Chelsea's wedding or her Mom's funeral? Why did she need to provide the emails if they already had them?

 

I've been following this story in part because I have professional email, records, and document management experience and find it amazing the way the IT department in DC works. But this the first time I've heard this. Anyone else know anything about the 2 bolded parts above?

The problem with the first part is there's no way to prove it short of looking at her server (and even then, she could have wiped out anything that wasn't captured by a federal system.) It could be true...or it could be a lie. No way to tell. So it's a nice way to cloud the issue further.

 

The second...my recollection is the same as yours. A buttload of printed copies of what Hillary thought was relevant.

At around $20,000 a pop that's a cool $10 trillion too

 

That's for a complete residential installation.

 

It's really impossible to judge the cost, since nobody measure solar energy in "panels." It's measured in megawatts or gigawatts, and while there is a direct relation between photovoltaic cells and electricity generation (~150 watts per cell, I think), a "panel" can contain anything from 4 to 100 photovoltaic cells (or more, I imagine. The highest number I could find was 96 cells per panel).

 

So her statement is completely meaningless - it turns out a "solar panel" is a complete abstraction, and unmeasurable for any practical purpose.

 

Good sound byte, devoid of any meaning, and so abstract easily manipulated and misrepresented, so she can't be held to it. It's the quintessential Clintonian statement.

Maybe not completely................

 

 

Any solar panel manufacturer contributions to. Clinton Foundation?

 

I remember there was always a lot of Haiti/Clinton money being talked about for "solar energy"

Of course it's possible. Emails follow the same request/response pattern as anything else. You add code in the response that inserts the incoming header and content into a database, before the "sent" response goes back, and you're done.

 

I will say "secure data system" reeks of "I don't know WTF I'm talking about". It's not a system. It's a server. A software DBMS server(not to be confused with the hardware meaning of the word), within which many databases can be created, and one or more of which can be used to store emails.

 

The FOIA statement is pure idiocy. This is like telling us water is wet, and just as irrelevant.

 

The issue here is whom did she email, and about what, that doesn't work for the US government? Did she disclose classified info in those emails, via her own stupidity, or the stupidity of accessing an unsecured Pop server with her easily cracked or intercepted phone/blackberry? Or, did she do it intentionally? Did she decide to unclassify things on an ad-hoc basis at her convenience?

 

See, unless she is a total moron, she wanted to conduct messaging outside of the US government's ability to prevent or reprimand her from telling whoever she wants, whatever she wants. FOIA has nothing to do with that whatsoever.

There is a two-month gap in Hillary Clinton’s emails that coincides with violence in Libya and the employment status of a top Clinton aide, Huma Abedin.

Among the approximately 2,000 emails that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has released from her private account, there is a conspicuous two-month gap. There are no emails between Clinton and her State Department staff during May and June 2012, a period of escalating violence in Libya leading up to the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that left four Americans dead.

A State Department spokesman told The Daily Beast that for the year 2012, only those emails related to the security of the consulate or to the U.S. diplomatic presence in Libya were made public and turned over to a House committee investigating the fatal Benghazi assault. But if that’s true, then neither Clinton nor her staff communicated via email about the escalating dangers in Libya. There were three attacks during that two-month period, including one that targeted the consulate.

That two-month period also coincides with a senior Clinton aide obtaining a special exemption that allowed her to work both as a staff member to the secretary and in a private capacity for Clinton and her husband’s foundation. The Associated Press has sued to obtain emails from Clinton’s account about the aide, Huma Abedin.

 

 

 

This chick is down right shady.

Hillary Clinton's former spokesman turns over 20 boxes of emails

 

Long-time Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines handed the State Department 20 boxes of work-related emails taken in part from a personal email account, State officials said Wednesday, calling into question the extent to which top aides to the former secretary of state also engaged in controversial email practices.

 

State Department top document official John Hackett, who heads Freedom of Information Act requests for the agency, told a federal judge in a court hearing Wednesday that Reines was among several officials asked to turn over any any work-related documents in his possession.

 

He handed over 20 boxes last night, according to a separate State lawyer present at the hearing. The hearing involved a lawsuit filed by the Associated Press that charges the agency with failing to respond to FOIA requests.

 

Hackett also told the court that State couldn’t produce all of the documents requested by the AP at this time — including one related to Huma Abedin’s role as a “special government employee.” He said the agency is still awaiting work-related emails from former agency officials Abedin, Jake Sullivan and Cheryl Mills. Hackett did not say whether the documents being sought were from a personal account or State.gov account.

 

The Reines revelations call into question the extent to which Clinton’s aides relied on personal emails for official business, which goes against government record-keeping and transparency rules.
