IG: Clinton didn't want emails 'accessible'

Says what most of us with an open mind have known for a long time....

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/281208-clinton-didnt-want-emails-accessible

Hillary Clinton took steps to make sure her personal email account was not “accessible” while she was secretary of State, the State Department’s inspector general said on Wednesday.

In November 2010, longtime aide Huma Abedin suggested that Clinton consider using an official department email account or “releasing” her personal clintonemail.com address to the State Department.

Clinton might want to consider the move, Abedin said, so her messages would not be “going to spam.”
But Clinton appeared to reject the proposal from her then-deputy chief of staff for operations.

Even if there is no indictment, that report will be 10x worse. Hopefully they release a report regardless of what happens.

She tried to VOID the whole thing where her actions in office were concerned.

And btw, she copied a tactic Rove used, to do it. The private server was his brainchild. She has been role modelling the wrong people for quite some time. With predictable results.

June 9, 2000: Clinton says she doesn't want to use email. Home video footage from a private fundraiser shows Senator Clinton talking about how she has deliberately avoided using email so she wouldn't leave a paper trail. "As much as I've been investigated and all of that, you know, why would I? I don't even want... Why would I ever want to do email? Can you imagine?" But apparently necessity will force her to change her mind, and it is known that by 2006 she will start using a BlackBerry for email. (ABC News, 3/6/2015)

And I have nothing but contempt for her arrogance. also, the mingling of official state department email with personal crap is appalling. And no way should she have been allowed to delete 30,0000 emails.
