Yeah, Looks Like the POTUS Lied. Again. Surprised?
Last March, the POTUS was asked when he learned about the Clintoon “private” email server.
His response? “The same time everybody else learned it through news reports.”
Well, it looks like the man either is monumentally dense – or he shamelessly lied through his teeth “misspoke” here. Because here’s a quote from an email written by Cheryl Mills, a close Clintoon confident, late that night. The email was written after Mills had learned of the POTUS’s statement.
“We need to clean this up – he has emails from her – they do not say state.gov.”
Oopsie.
Yeah, it certainly seems the POTUS lied. Again.
So . . . what else is new?
. . .
Let’s recap the Clintoon email matter. Here are my “Top 10 Hits” from the whole matter.
1. While SECSTATE, Clintoon used an unauthorized, “private” and abysmally-badly secured email server to conduct government business. This is against US government policy, and arguably violates Federal law.
2. As the second link above also shows, Clintoon had the State department change IT policy so she could use her “private” Blackberry and that unauthorized “private” email account from within secure DoS areas.
3. The POTUS received email from Clintoon originating at her “private”, unauthorized email address. Given Mills’ concern, obviously at least some of that email to the POTUS from Clintoon’s unauthorized “private” email server was both official business and was sent while Clintoon was SECSTATE.
4. The POTUS thus knew that Clintoon was using a private email address for official government business prior to 7 March 2015. (Well, either that or he’s a totally clueless fool – take your pick. A “.com” email address isn’t one provided by the US government.) But when asked point-blank when and how he learned Clintoon was using an unauthorized private address for government business, he publicly lied about when he learned that fact.
5. Multiple instances of highly classified material were later found to have been stored on Clintoon’s unauthorized, poorly-secured “private” server – including both SCI and Special Access Program material. Some of it was marked properly; much of the more sensitive material should have been blindingly obvious as classified to someone with Clintoon’s experience and security indoctrinations, whether marked or not.
6. None of those classified spills were reported by Clintoon (or anyone else) when discovered, as is required by Federal law. Intentional failure to report such unauthorized storage of classified information is a Federal felony.
7. Once the matter became public, Clintoon’s unauthorized, unsecured “private” email server was wiped. It appears to have been wiped well after the Federal government had begun investigating the matter. Sophisticated tools were used to wipe it. The administrator of Clintoon’s unauthorized “private” email server apparently also sought advice on how to sanitize “VIP identities” from email archives on Reddit – also after the Federal government had begun investigating the matter.
8. It’s a shoe-in that Clintoon’s p!ss-poorly secured server was penetrated by foreign intelligence services. It likely was penetrated by more than one such foreign intelligence service.
9. Material contained on that unsecured, unauthorized email server was sufficient to identify at least one US intelligence source. That source was later taken into custody and executed by the nation about which he was providing information to the US.
10. The FBI whitewashed the whole matter, and refused to prosecute clear and obvious violations of Federal law.
Those are just the national security-related “hits”. I haven’t even touched on the evidence of possible “pay-for-play” corruption, abuse of government resources, and unethical DNC-press collusion the Clintoon emails recovered or made public to date seem to show.
You or I would be in jail by now.
I guess it’s good to have serious “top cover”.

I couldn’t have laid this out better. I am sick and fucking tired of the I’m with—->her crowd and the denial when it is as clear as day. Not only did the DOJ, FBI collude to make everything okay, with a little help from wikileaks, we now have some clear proof–Not only that, she is also violating election campaign laws from James O’keefe’s videos. And those who have suddenly found their moral strand of pearls, are clutching and screaming from the rooftops that it’s Trump who is rigging this shit!!!!!! WHERE THE HELL IS THE LAW?
The Law is down here in the righteous mud with the rest of us, while that bunch of whackjobs is up there above it all, in the rarefied atmosphere of ‘you can’t touch me’.
And I still do not understand how anyone at any level can be as abominably stupid as they are – ALL OF THEM.
It isnt just stupidity. It is corruption and plain old evil.
YES That’s True…..the pot us is A monumentally dense LIAR!
So shouldn’t the DNC be classified as a organized crime network with a few RNC wannabes???
After reading these e-mails I see at least 2 dozen RICO crimes at least 50 national security crimes
And one maybe two banks that need to go down
Everyone here should watch the movie or read the book “Hillary’s America.” It shows the mindset, history, and methods of the Clinton Crew and DNC as a gang similar to the mob. The burning question is whether the American public will ever wake up and figure it out.
you’re talking about the same public that elected Obama twice? Made “Laverne and Shirley” and “Roseanne”the #1 shows on television? The burning question is a bit deeper than waking up…. think the documentary “Idiocracy”.
I don’t even listen to what that fucking clown says anymore. I know it’s just all bullshit anyway.
I was listening to Sean Hannity the other day and I thought he said there would be evidence coming out that Hitlery was indeed a lesbian? Where is the carpet muncher going to hide this one? Her and slick willy should both be hung at high noon with a short rope! Pray to God that Trump wins or we will all be screwed!!
Trump 2016!!!
Who the hell is Hannity kidding? A revelation that she is a lesbian would probably get her MORE votes.
Revelation? That allegation has been around since at least the ’90s.
“At this point, what difference does it make?”
Bitch! That goes for Hillary and Obama. Liars of the first order. Liberals who see them as saviors just do not understand that he and she care not for them, America or anything or anyone beyond themselves and those who support them. The “precious few” who they deem worthy of ruling over this nation instead of governing it. It used to be we simply called them spies, when one deliberately violated national security laws for personal or ideological reasons. She is a spy who has caused the death of at least one asset. And why? Not for money, not for ideology but for the grandiose belief that she, as well as Obama are above the law, above the “commoners’, and that whatever they do, so long as it serves their own self interests is not only right but never to be questioned by we lesser mortals. God help this nation.
This all stems from Comeys interpretation (or lack of) intent.
There’s more to it, but folks here understand.
You are being too kind to Comey. I want to know who writes his material and who the editor is. It galls me that of all people it was the Director of the FBI who tortured and then slew the notion that no one is above the law, that we are a nation of laws, not men. Last point: Just as oBaMa loved this land so very much he wanted to alter it fundamentally and, with help, he did, I am absolutely convinced that anyone who votes for Clinton despises the country. And that goes for Vets who pull the lever for the Bitch of Benghazi.
This is my shocked face.
No. Not it’s not.
What is heartbreaking is that so many voters don’t care that Zer0bama and Cankles lie, and of those who do care, they are resigned to it being an everyday fact of life.
GB…you are so right…that this is considered normal or acceptable is astounding. Kind of like how people now react to terror attacks. 🙁
To Dems, the ends justify the means.
As long as Hillary fulfills their agenda, they don’t give a shit what she does.
This whole business is like a boil on your butt. You feel it, you know it’s there, but you can’t reach it, you can’t see it in the mirror, and you wonder whether you should go to the local animal clinic or try to get into see your doctor (if you can find one), who will probably tell you he can’t find anything.
But it’s there, sitting under the surface, and at some point, so help me Hannah, the whole festering, rotten mess is going to find its way to the top layer and detonate all over the entire lot of them.
Okay, I’m an optimist, but I really do believe that the limb they are all on is not going to hold them up much longer.
The argument about the White House occupant being monumentally dense tends to fall apart if you consider the “VIP identities” query on Reddit likely included a POTUS alias as a sender address. Why would somebody use an alias except to hide an identity? It’s also apparent that emails between Hillary and former Secretary of State Colin Powell show her interest in setting up a private server as a means of back-channel communication.
The conversation between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch on the tarmac of an Arizona airport might well have been partially about White House involvement.
The private server, at least it seems to me, was always about avoiding public scrutiny and potential FOIA requests. And at a certain level, it’s understandable that the State Department might want to avoid conducting its business in public during sensitive ongoing negotiations. Still, the FOIA was not set up to provide information about activities underway; it was designed to provide a means to show how the public’s business was conducted after the fact.
As Secretary of State, Hillary was in a position to provide a diplomatic carrot to those governments who might benefit from foreign aid. If the King of Morocco, for example, provides $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, which somehow finds its way into financing a Hillary political campaign, and the country of Morocco benefits to the tune of $52 million, the question becomes this: who is actually paying for Hillary’s campaign?
Agreed. I’d guess he’s nowhere near the brightest guy in DC – but IMO monumentally dense he’s not. I included that possibility solely for completeness.
Ask the Cherokee if the Democrat party is corrupt.
The same bunch that backed slavery, secession, supremacy, and segregation now claim that Republicans are racists.
Now, with willing kneepad use by most media, the Dems no longer really try to hide it. “No controlling legal authority” “no reasonable person would prosecute” “(smile) I cant recall…”
The crazy part is expecting a -lack- of corruption from -any- part of the Jackass party.
(Not that any of the other mobs are saintly, but the Donkeys take it to a whole nother level)
http://nypost.com/2016/10/27/clinton-fundraised-for-wife-of-fbi-boss-who-investigated-emails/
11. Hillary Clinton helped raise more than a million dollars for the Democratic group that donated to the campaign of Jill McCabe, the wife of an FBI big who later oversaw the investigation into Clinton’s emails.
And he’s now the #3 man at the FBI, having miraculously advanced to that position after heading up that investigation.
Heck, he’s #2!
While I agree with you on many of the finer points of Clinton’s email woes, I’m not quite ready to level the charge that the President lied about this.
Most of us, upon receiving an e-mail from someone whose name we recognize, don’t check to see what domain that e-mail was sent from. I get e-mails from friends who use work and personal accounts with the same name, and rarely notice if they add a new alias/server to the mix.
That’s even assuming the President himself writes/checks these e-mails, as opposed to staff.
There’s plenty to complain about already with the e-mails – stretching it beyond the facts and into speculation just allows for the whole thing to be more easily dismissed by people on the fence.
Email addresses (both displayed and actual) from government agencies tend to have a set format. Those from private organizations and/or personal email systems don’t tend to use the same formats for displayed and actual addresses.
One literally would have to be incredibly dense not to notice the difference between the two – e.g., for someone to notice that email from DoS officials appeared with addresses displayed in one format, but Clintoon’s looked very different. It stretches the limits of credulity to think he wouldn’t ask why.
Further, the POTUS is reputed to have used a Blackberry. I’m guessing he used that himself vice having one of his
sycophants/suck-upsaides read his email to him when he checked his email using that Blackberry.Bottom line: yeah, he knew. He’s not a moron.
During his first term in office, he refused to give up his Blackberry which had the Secret Service and the FBI wigged out. He had been using one for years. If after all this time, he still has it, then either they gave him a new one with a dedicated link unavailable to anyone outside that network, or his was reconfigured (which I doubt) to provide that kind of security. Bottom line: no, he’s not stupid, but he is the most mentally lazy fuck on the planet, and as I have said repeatedly, he just does not give a shit about anything except the ‘glory of it all’. Never, ever did.
There is still the credibility aspect.
I already said this same thing in a previous thread about her email and the likelihood that POTUS knew she had a private email. He’s the first President to get an encrypted blackberry of his own to use for official business. He’s a technology guy, plain n’ simple. I seriously doubt he would look at an email every single time and know exactly who it was from without looking at the email address. In this case I still believe that he knew about it all along and didn’t do anything. Hillary, being the conniving twat that she is, would blast him totes magoats if she were in trouble legally about this. Even if she didn’t say it to him directly, the sentiment is, “if I get tagged for this, guess what? I’m going to throw you under the steam roller to save my own ass, get a deal out of it and still make millions on the lecture circut while you get impeached.” She’s one of those types that he wouldn’t have to be told that, he knows full well she’d destroy him in a second if it meant saving her own skin. There are too many other things popping up to show a pattern of her having intent to do what she did, having anything that would get her in trouble destroyed (or attempted destruction) and at the same time anyone who might potentially or definitely talk, ends up committing suicide “mysteriously”. (Vince Foster comes to mind in regards to White Water. The Clintons were cleared of anything to do with it, but he’s the one guy who said he’d testify against them. Everyone else kept their mouth shut, got convicted, then pardoned by Slick Willy.) The President “not knowing” about this personal email system is at best him playing dumb about it. Though with his ego-level being so high, he’s not going to play dumb. So he’s just flat out denying it. And don’t try to say that a SecState who’s using email doesn’t directly email their boss who uses email and technology as well. I’d even add… Read more »
Hillary Rotten Clinton violated law on multiple occasions. It also appears that she ran a pay-to-play scheme as Suckretary of State. And she may be the next president. Yeah, tell me again someone how I must have faith in the American people and that, golly, everything will be okay. Reminds me of another rosy, encouraging expression: Work will set you free. Yeah, I could use a good shower, couldn’t you?
Now we know a big reason the FBI didn’t go after Hillary was to protect Obama
The only way they’d both stop lying, is when they both stop breathing.
That was well written, like court testimony.
