Bill Clinton Dismisses Investigation Into Hillary’s
E-Mail Server as a ‘Game’

by Chris White | 11:15 am, May 1st, 2016



Former President Bill Clinton provided a rather lively defense of his wife, Hillary Clinton, at campaign stop in Kokomo, IN on Saturday. When the topic of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server while serving as Secretary of State was brought up, the former president dismissed the FBI’s involvement, and called the entire episode “a game” concocted by Hillary’s opponents.

As you can see at the beginning of the clip, the former president is discussing how Hillary turned over some 55,000 printed pages of e-mails to State after she left. The former president gives the impression that Hillary did this in the name of transparency and openness by trotting out the line, “Nobody had ever done that before” (A similar line used by Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer last summer was ruled mostly false by politifact).

What President Clinton neglected to mention was no other secretary of state has had their own private e-mail server with which to conduct State business. He also failed to mention she deleted over 30,000 emails that she unilaterally determined were “personal.”

President Clinton then transitioned to the next Clinton defense — the claim that all emails were determined to be classified after the fact— therefore, Hillary could not have know she was doing wrong.
Despite strong evidence to the contrary, President Clinton sticks with the defense and uses an analogy to drive his point home:

“If you’re driving in a 50 mile-an-hour zone, and a police officer pulls you over when you’re driving 40, and says ‘I’m sorry, I’ve got to give you a ticket because you know the speed limit here should be 35, and you should have known it,’” Clinton told the audience.

WATCH:



Well, as the Daily Caller notes, Clinton’s analogy fail, miserably. First, Hillary Clinton signed form SF312 in which she acknowledged receiving classified information indoctrination training, including how to identify classified material, regardless of marking. Her oath also imposed a duty on Clinton to ensure information that may be potentially classified later and/or information currently working its way through the classification process was protected.

Furthermore, Clinton also received an additional warning form the NSA about the difficulties in securing blackberry devices. Nonetheless, it appears that Hillary and the majority of her inner circle continued to use Blackberries as their primary email even after the NSA warning.

Former President Clinton ends this portion of the speech by mocking the whole e-mail investigation.

Clinton says, “So, everybody is all “breathless about [her e-mails],” while flailing his arms widely.

And to reaffirm his points and minimize critics one more time, the former president drives its home with the campaign line, “Look, this is a game.”

It is doubtful the FBI Agents and other investigators working tirelessly on a resolution feel the same way.

Clinton Campaign Made Payments to Hard Drive and Document Destruction Company

By Joe Schoffstall May 3, 2016 3:40 pm

The Hillary Clinton campaign made multiple payments to a company that specializes in hard drive and document destruction, campaign finance records show.

The payments, which were recorded in February and March of 2016, went to the Nevada-based American Document Destruction, Inc., which claims expertise in destroying hard drives or “anything else that a hard drive can come from.”

“Our hard drive destruction procedures take place either at your site or at our secure facility in Sparks, NV,” the company’s website states. “This decision is yours to decide based on cost and convenience to you. In either situation, the hard drive will be destroyed by a shredding.”

“We have a dedicated machine for hard drive destruction,” the website continues. “We will also record the serial numbers of all drives to be destroyed to be kept in our records. A copy of this log can be provided to you as well.”

The routine services section of the site says that the company operates in 26 areas in Nevada and California, including Reno, Virginia City, Sparks, Tahoe City, and Carson City.

“Our equipment is powerful. Whether you require ON SITE or OFF SITE service, performed at our Sparks facility, large volumes can be quickly destroyed regardless of staples, clips or fasteners,” the site says. “Office paper, folders, binders and computer media can be destroyed in just minutes. As a result, we pass the savings on to you! A new service we also offer is computer hard drive destruction, either ON-SITE or OFF-SITE.”

“ADDNV, Inc. ensures that even small amounts are economical to have destroyed. ADDNV, Inc. encourages our clients to visit the Sparks facility to observe the shredding of your documents. The added bonus with ADDNV, Inc. is that we offer personal service whenever you need it. We can be reached locally and our customers are more than just account numbers in a large franchise.”

Transactions from Hillary for America to American Document Destruction, Inc. were made to the Sparks, Nevada location.

The first payment from the campaign to the destruction company came on Feb. 3 in the amount of $43, Federal Election Commission filings shows.

Two additional payments of $43 and $58 were made on Feb. 21. A fourth payment of $43 was made on March 26, bringing the amount paid to the destruction company to $187.

The Washington Free Beacon contacted American Document Destruction, Inc. to inquire about its rates.

An employee for the company said that it charges $10 per hard drive and $5 per cubic foot of paper. The Clinton campaign could have destroyed 14 hard drives or shredded 37.4 cubic feet of paper at those rates.

The Clinton campaign did not return a request for comment about what documents it paid to have destroyed.
