Lost emails from Clinton server discovered

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/274230-lost-emails-discovered-from-clintons-server


But on Thursday, the watchdog group Judicial Watch released one message from Feb. 13, 2009, in which Mills communicated with Clinton on the account to discuss the National Security Agency’s (NSA) efforts to produce a secure BlackBerry device for her to use as secretary of State.

The discovery is likely to renew questions about Clinton’s narrative about her use of the private email server, which has come under scrutiny.

Last year, news organizations reported that Obama administration officials had discovered an email chain between Clinton and retired Gen. David Petraeus that began before Clinton entered office and continued through to Feb. 1. The chain of emails began on an earlier email system that Clinton used while serving in the Senate, but was reportedly transferred on to the clintonemail.com server.

by her followers decrying it as right-wing smears or has a right-wing source because it simply can't have any truth to it.

Hillary is prevented from doing anything shady by as yet undiscovered laws of physics that somehow keep her on the straight and narrow. Right?

Clinton’s presidential campaign has previously claimed that the former top diplomat did not use her personal "clintonemail.com" account before March 2009, weeks after she was sworn in as secretary of State.


She must have "misspoke" again.

How long before we get a new, reconstructed version of reality from her that accommodates this inconveniently public new information?

11. Judicial Watch is suing because Clinton @ State evaded FOIA requests with use of a private server.

The AP is suing for same: http://thehill.com/policy/technology/235329-ap-sues-state-dept-over-clinton-emails


“The press is a proxy for the people, and AP will continue its pursuit of vital information that's in the public interest through this action and future open records requests."

"State's failure to ensure that Secretary Clinton's governmental emails were retained and preserved by the agency, and its failure timely to seek out and search those emails in response to AP's requests, indicate at the very least that State has not engaged in the diligent, good-faith search that FOIA requires," says AP's legal filing."

The American people are entitled via FOIA to the State Department emails. Discovery was granted to uncover whether Clinton's home server was part of an effort to evade the Freedom of Information (FOIA) law by shifting federal records off-site and into the sole control of Hillary, her attorneys and consultants.

But saying it in a calm tone of voice doesn't make it that much different.

17. The "February 13, 2009, email" is important?

It's easy to misspeak, or just over summarize, but are neutral observers going to look into that? In situations like this there's a swarm when the media thinks they've uncovered something a politician denied the existence of. So will this be taken as that, and how big a deal is it in and of itself?

I know a bit of all of this, but I'd like a trusted, and really well informed, source to get down to the nub of this. But I guess because this is an evolving story, the incentive to commit to encapsulating where things are at in a moment of time is lacking.
