For 3 months Hillary Clinton’s email access was unencrypted, vulnerable to
spies
Venafi, a Salt Lake City computer security firm, has conducted an analysis
of clintonemail.com and determined that “for the first three months of
Secretary Clinton’s term, access to the server was not encrypted or
authenticated with a digital certificate.” In other words: For three
months, Clinton’s server lay vulnerable to snooping, hacking, and spoofing.

Hillary Clinton email flap exposes gaps in State Department records
Hillary Clinton’s claim that most work-related emails sent from her
personal account were preserved in the electronic files of other State
Department officials fell apart Friday.
After a week of deflecting questions about how emails were handled during
Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, the agency finally acknowledged
that the email traffic of other senior officials was not automatically or
routinely archived.
The loose record-keeping practices, which were immediately criticized by
historians and open government advocates, are only now being corrected.

Jen Psaki: Hillary Clinton didn’t use a State Department BlackBerry
The BlackBerry former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is seen using in a
ubiquitous photo taken aboard a U.S. military aircraft apparently wasn’t
government-owned, since the State Department never provided her with such a
device, a department spokeswoman said Thursday.
“Secretary Clinton … was not issued a State Department BlackBerry,”
spokeswoman Jen Psaki said at a regular briefing for reporters.

A Claim of No Classified Emails in a Place That Classifies Routinely
WASHINGTON — Anyone who has tried to pry information from the federal
government may have been surprised on Tuesday by Hillary Rodham Clinton’s
assertion that in all her emails in four years as secretary of state, she
never strayed into the classified realm.
After all, a consensus among Republicans and Democrats for many years has
been that the government routinely overclassifies information, reflexively
stamping “secret” on mountains of documents with marginally sensitive
content. The government classified more than 80 million documents in 2013,
according to the Information Security Oversight Office, which publishes an
annual count.

AP sues State Dept. over Clinton e-mails
"After careful deliberation and exhausting our other options, The
Associated Press is taking the necessary legal steps to gain access to
these important documents, which will shed light on actions by the State
Department and former Secretary Clinton, a presumptive 2016 presidential
candidate, during some of the most significant issues of our time," AP
General Counsel Karen Kaiser said in a statement.

Hillary Clinton Is Still Violating the Law and the Justice Department
Should Take Custody of the Server
Not only did she conceal and apparently delete files without completing an
inventory and enabling State Department record retention officers to review
her claim of privacy. Even with respect to the thousands emails she has
finally revealed, she is still withholding information. What Mrs. Clinton
hoarded on her server are (or were until deleted) electronic
communications; what she has reportedly turned over, by contrast, are paper
copies of those e-mails –reportedly, 30,490 e-mails comprising 55,000
printed pages. The paper copies may or may not have some information
deleted from them. The government record is the e-mail, the electronic
communication itself. A paper copy is just a picture – and perhaps an
incomplete one – of an actual electronic mail.

Freedom of Information Act expert: Clinton's email system 'laughable'
A top freedom-of-information expert isn’t buying Hillary Clinton’s
explanation of why she set up her own email system to conduct official
State Department business, calling it “laughable.”
Daniel Metcalfe, who advised White House administrations on interpreting
the Freedom of Information Act from 1981 to 2007, told The Canadian Press
that the former secretary of state acted “contrary to both the letter and
the spirit of the law.”

Hillary Clinton email excuses 'laughable,' says top freedom-of-information
official
The senior-most freedom-of-information official in the executive branch of
the United States government for over a quarter-century, whose job it was
to help four administrations — including the Clinton White House —
interpret the Freedom of Information Act, offer advice, and testify before
Congress on their behalf.
Daniel Metcalfe doesn't buy her explanation. In fact, he calls it
laughable.

Clinton’s Email and the Privacy ‘Privilege’
Hillary Clinton says neither the federal government nor an independent
third party has the right to review emails she sent as secretary of state
if she deems them personal. “Government officials are granted the privacy
of their personal, non-work related emails, including personal emails on
.gov accounts,” her office says.
That’s inaccurate. State Department guidelines say there is “no
expectation of privacy” for personal emails sent by government employees on
a department email system.

What State Department guidelines did Hillary Clinton violate?
So, let's start with the broad brush, which is she followed all the rules,
all the rules and she didn't commit any crimes whatsoever. You've been
maintaining all along that's not necessary -- it's not true on the rules
and it may not be true on the law if she concealed or destroyed federal
records.
SHANNEN COFFIN, FORMER COUNSEL TO VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: It's demonstrably
not true on the rules. She didn't comply with the Federal Records Act. And
she clearly did not comply with her own records management handbook for the
Department of State which sets out a very specific process about how you
remove records from the department control.

Hillary Clinton's email: Did she follow all the rules?
Throughout the controversy regarding her exclusive use of private email
while secretary of state, Hillary Clinton has said she followed the rules.
But the truth isn’t so clear cut.
Although some former secretaries of state occasionally used personal
emails for official business, Clinton is the only one who never once used
an @state.gov email address in the era of email. Some have questioned
whether that practice violated rules regulating email use, transparency,
records management or security.

'Major disconnect': Why no red flags in Clinton’s use of personal email?
Hillary Clinton was emailing more than 100 government officials for four
years on a personal account. Her office even says the practice was “widely
known” to those colleagues, since her address was visible.
So why no red flags?

Gawker Media’s John Cook cites ‘Nixonian’ plot at State Department to
shield documents from public
In a chat this morning on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Gawker Media
Executive Editor for Investigations John Cook said his outlet would be
filing suit against the State Department to revive an idle Freedom of
Information Act request submitted by the Web site in 2012. In that
instance, Gawker sought e-mails between Philippe Reines, who served as a
spokesman for then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and 34 news
organizations — a request that should have netted big stacks of
correspondence.

How Mrs. Clinton’s deletion of “personal” e-mails likely violates federal
records law
Shortly after her press conference this week at the United Nations, Hillary
Clinton released a background “Q&A” that all but confirmed that she did not
comply with federal records laws (a story that Time reported on yesterday).
Mrs. Clinton’s lawyeristic backgrounder explained that, after the State
Department requested the return of any e-mails that contained official
business, her legal team conducted a highly suspect review of the e-mails
to determine which ones might contain official business. Rather than
actually reviewing each of the 60,000 or so e-mails, her legal team
developed a screening mechanism, common in civil litigation, of using
keyword searches to cull the stack.

State Dept: Most official email not auto-archived until Feb.
WASHINGTON — The State Department said Friday it was unable to
automatically archive the emails of most of its senior officials until last
month, which could mean potential problems for historical record-keeping
amid criticism of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s use of
a private email server while in office.
