Hillary Clinton may want to lay low from all forms of communication for a while. On top of everything Hillary has been dealing with as of late, starting with her email server probe (where the FBI is supposedly nearing a conclusion), her painful inability to answer voter questions, and having to double down on her innocence as her top aides meet with the FBI, a new stunning discovery has been made.
According to newly released emails, Hillary talked to her top aides on unsecured phone lines.
From The Hill
New emails released by a conservative watchdog group on Thursday appear to show former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton directing a top aide to call her via an unsecured phone line when technical troubles prevented a secure phone conversation.
“I give up. Call me on my home #,” Clinton told then-chief of staff Cheryl Mills in a February 2009 email, after more than an hour of trouble trying to communicate via a secure line.
“I just spoke to ops and called you reg line – we have to wait until we see each other b/c [the] technology is not working,” Mills said in another email sent at almost exactly the same time.
“Pls try again,” responded Clinton, a few moments later.
It’s unclear whether the two did connect, or if they moderated any discussion they may have had to avoid sensitive topics while on an unsecure landline.
Judicial Watch obtained the messages as part of a lawsuit filed against the State Department under the Freedom of Information Act.
The emails were not included in the more than 30,000 messages released by the State Department in recent months, raising questions about the scope of the department’s records.
Clinton’s presidential campaign has previously said the Democratic presidential front-runner did not use the personal “clintonemail.com” account during the early weeks of her time as the nation’s top diplomat. Instead, they have said, she used a different account, which was a holdover from her time as a senator, and she no longer has access to those emails.
The State Department’s publicly available cache of Clinton emails do not begin until March of 2009, weeks after she entered office.
The email released on Thursday was sent through a “clintonemail.com” account she used throughout the remainder of her time in office.
Judicial Watch has uncovered other emails of Clinton’s through its lawsuit that were not released by the State Department.
In addition to the emails she gave to the State Department, Clinton withheld roughly 30,000 emails and deleted them from her private server. Those emails were purely personal in nature, she has claimed, and related to yoga routines, her daughter’s wedding and other unofficial matters.
Clinton’s server is currently in the hands of the FBI, which is investigating whether she or her aides mishandled classified material.
The heat is certainly being turned up in this incredible saga, and while it remains to be seen to what extend Hillary did or did not break any laws, one thing is clear at this point: without question, Clinton does whatever it is that she feels like doing.
