Hillary Clinton’s e-Mail Scandal Worsens, More Serious Q’s Raised

The Denver-based company that maintained Hillary Clinton’s private e-Mail account during her tenure as Secretary of State was a “Mom & Pop Shop” that until earlier this year operated its business from a converted loft apartment, and housed its servers in a bathroom closet, according media reports.

Platte River did not have security clearance to handle classified materials, the chief spokesman for the Defense Security Service, part of the Defense Department (DOD) and “the only federal agency authorized to approve private sector company access to sensitive or confidential material,” said.

The revelation, “which will raise the most significant questions over security and over what checks Clinton’s aides made about how suitable it was for dealing with what new transpires to be classified material,” is deeply concerning to Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

It “raises serious questions,” Senator Johnson said.

After reviewing only 20% of the 30,000 e-Mails Mrs. Clinton and her advisers turned over to the State Department, she and her team singlehandedly decided what correspondence was work-related and what was personal in nature, federal authorities have flagged more than 300 of the messages to receive further scrutiny.

Mrs. Clinton has admitted to deleting an additional 30,000 other e-Mails she maintains were personal. It has been reported that investigators uncovered 60 e-Mails containing suspected classified information.

Mrs. Clinton’s email server is now in the custody of the FBI, though it was reportedly “wiped clean of any emails she sent or received.”
