Yesterday the White House spokesperson Josh Earnest suggested that President Obama first knew of the existence of a secret Clinton email account after reading about it in the recent papers.  Today President Obama confirmed that espousal:

In interview with @plantecbs, Pres Obama says he learned of Hillary Clinton's private e-mail use "the same time everybody else learned it."

Today, Politico is reporting the White House knew specifically about the email accounts in August of last year (2014), and the Clinton aides asked white house officials not to immediately act on anything:

(Politico) The White House, State Department and Hillary Clinton’s personal office knew in August that House Republicans had received information showing that the former secretary of state conducted official government business through her private email account — and Clinton’s staff made the decision to keep quiet.

Sources familiar with the discussions say key people in the Obama administration and on Clinton’s staff were aware that the revelation could be explosive for the all-but-announced candidate for president. But those involved deferred to Clinton’s aides, and they decided not to respond. (link)

Further in the Politico article it cites the timeline of August 2014 notification came as a result of the Select Committee on Benghazi and their inquires into communication within the State Dept. between Hillary and other officials. (more…)

As customary with the Obama Administration…

WASHINGTON DC – The White House Friday implied that President Obama learned former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton exclusively used a private email account only after “reading the newspaper.”

“I have no idea when the president first learned,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters of the simmering controversy. “I wouldn’t be surprised, however, if he had learned about that by reading the newspaper. The president has a lot of things on his plate. I’m not sure the details of a senior administration official’s email arrangement lands on the president’s desk with any regularity.” (more…)

President Obama and AG Eric Holder have created the ultimate BGI extortion scheme in direct alignment with attorneys Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump. A grievance win-win. Parks and Crump have announced their intent to sue on behalf of the Mike Brown family; the ONLY evidence for their wrongful death claim is the DOJ investigation.

If Ferguson agrees to the DOJ investigation finding, the Parks and Crump lawsuit carries automatic admission of wrongdoing, hence liability.   Ergo, today….

[…]  Moving forward, Mr. Obama said the city must clean up its act or face legal action by the federal government.

“It was an oppressive and abusive situation,” the president said of police practices in Ferguson. “The city of Ferguson will now have to make a decision. Are they now going to enter into some sort of agreement with the Justice Department to fix what is clearly a broken and racially broken system? Or, if they don’t, the Justice Department has the capacity to sue the city for violations of the rights of the people of Ferguson.” (link)

… and that’s her story, and she’s sticking to it.

It should be noted that Valerie Jarrett is credited with the actual construction of the communications policies and standards for the Obama White House.

Democrat Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has been off the range for several months. Menendez has been a thorn in the political side of the Obama administration on issues with Cuban relations and nuclear talks with Iran. Today the White House strikes back.

According to breaking news, coming from the Dept of Justice to CNN, Senator Menendez is anticipated to be indicted on federal corruption charges for a quid-pro-quo deal, selling political influence on behalf of a major donor.

Back in January of 2013 the FBI raided the West Palm Beach business of an eye doctor suspected of providing free trips and even underage Dominican Republic prostitutes to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J.

(Via CNN) […]  People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors’ request to proceed with charges, CNN has learned exclusively. An announcement could come within weeks. Prosecutors are under pressure in part because of the statute of limitation on some of the allegations.

[…]  The government’s case centers on Menendez’s relationship with Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist who the senator has called a friend and political supporter. Melgen and his family have been generous donors to the senator and various committees the senator is associated with.

(Via Greta Wire) Fox News has exclusively obtained an internal 2011 State Department cable that shows Secretary of State Clinton’s office told employees not to use personal email for security reasons, while at the same time, HRC conducted all government business on a private account.

Sent to Diplomatic and Consular Staff in June 2011, the unclassified cable, with Clinton’s electronic signature, makes clear to:

[…] “avoid conducting official Department from your personal e-mail accounts” and employees should not “auto-forward Department email to personal email accounts which is prohibited by Department policy.” (more)

Despite the media report that will use Anthony Gray as the primary name when discussing the Mike Brown family attorneys, the real attorneys -the ones with the political connections and leverage needed- are Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump.

After reading through the full DOJ report on Ferguson it started to become obvious what emphasis Holder’s DOJ was placing on the findings, and the motives therein.

The DOJ, and Civil Rights Division Community Relations Service, is doing the same groundwork as a Grand Jury; meaning they are positioning Crump and Parks for their lawsuit.

A subtle tack in an otherwise consistently played out strategy.

In the Martin Lee Anderson, Trayvon Martin, Kendrick Johnson and now Mike Brown cases, the Black Grievance Industry (BGI) needs ’cause’, or ‘standing’, for their civil rights lawsuits. All of the aforementioned families were/are represented by Ben Crump and Daryl Parks.

We have called Parks, Crump and their team, the “scheme team”, because they use the scheme of demanding arrests to gain their legal threshold of proof for their lawsuits. They don’t demand convictions, they only want arrests.

In all their prior Scheme Team cases the strategy was to use “the arrest” as enough probable cause to leverage wrongful death lawsuits. After all, presumably the arrest of an individual indicates probable cause by itself. This saves them from any work in court to prove the basis for their claim, and this established burden is what they need for a successful civil suit. (more…)

….It’s like a nightmare Eddie, it just keeps getting worse and worse. Say, be honest with me, do you think I need to lose a little weight”?

WASHINGTON DC – Although Hillary Clinton and her allies may be claiming that her private e-mail system is no big deal, Hillary’s State Department actually forced the 2012 resignation of the U.S. ambassador to Kenya in part for setting up an unsanctioned private e-mail system. According to a 2012 report from the State Deptartment’s inspector general, former U.S. ambassador to Kenya Scott Gration set up a private e-mail system for his office in 2011.

The inspector general’s report offered a scathing assessment of Gration’s information security practices — practices that are eerily similar to those undertaken by Clinton while she served as Secretary of State […] (more…)

Probably paid for by the Clinton Global Initiative… Things are getting really interesting.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails — on a private account she used exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state — traced back to an Internet service registered to her family’s home in Chappaqua, New York, according to Internet records reviewed by The Associated Press.

The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, impressive control over limiting access to her message archives. It also would distinguish Clinton’s secretive email practices as far more sophisticated than some politicians, including Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, who were caught conducting official business using free email services operated by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. (more…)

We shared this expectation last evening within hours of finding out about the secret Clinton email accounts.  Specifically, regarding Huma Abedin. If there were other State Department Officers and aides to Hillary who held similar email profiles Abedin would definitely be at the top of the list.

RE: Hillary Emails: FOIA request entire account of Huma Abedin in addition to Hillary's personal Email and you'll strike golden deception.

She is.

….And she is not alone.

(Left – Huma Abedin and Hillary / Right – Hillary and Philippe Reines)

Gawker, yes Gawker, is highlighting the obvious. Other “Top Clinton Aides” used personal email addresses in an apparent intentional effort to avoid the sunlight within state department emails. Huma Abedin was definitely one of them and GAWKER has proof. (more…)
