State Dept Planned Set Up Hillary With “Stand-alone PC” “Across The Hall” Using Separate, Non-State System

Law Broken by State Department

It is amazing that so many high level officials were willing to break the law and clearly established requirements to allow Clinton to keep government correspondence in her personal possession. It may never be revealed why it was so important to run emails through a private server, though there is a strong believe by many that it had to do with enriching the Clintons and their foundation, with communication by foreign leaders and other influential individuals providing a quid pro quo with financial support for influence and more, which in more pedestrian society is called a bribe.

Such communication by the bad actors is generally kept private whenever possible, and there are not many other explanations why Clinton was so determined to skirt the rules. But the request for complete privacy and control was initiated right from the start.

Judicial Watch announced today that it recently received records from the Department of State disclosing plans by senior State Department officials to set up a “stand-alone PC” so that Clinton could  check her emails in an office “across the hall” through a separate, non-State Department computer network system. Referencing the special Clinton computer system, Under Secretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy, writes Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, “The stand-alone separate network PC is a great idea.”  The emails are from January 23-24, 2009, a few days after Clinton was sworn in as Secretary of State.

In the email chain, Lewis Lukens, former deputy assistant secretary of state and executive director of the secretariat, responds to a request from Mills by informing her, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and Kennedy that the new personal computer “in the secretary’s office” would be “connected to the internet (but not through our system).” Abedin responds, “We are hoping for that if possible.”

In separate litigation, the State Department told Judicial Watch and federal courts that Hillary Clinton was never issued secure State Department computing devices.

“These emails are shocking.  They show the Obama State Department’s plan to set up non-government computers and a computer network for Hillary Clinton to bypass the State Department network,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “That these records were withheld from the American people until now is scandalous and shows the criminal probe of Hillary Clinton’s email system should include current and former officials of the Obama administration.”

[Judicial Watch] just recently received additional evidence that demonstrates that senior management at the State Department was well aware that Mrs. Clinton was using a “non-state.gov” system to conduct official government business. This evidence also shows that the senior management at the State Department knowingly aided Mrs. Clinton in establishing and using a “non-state.gov” system.

[T]his newly discovered email demonstrates that there is at least a “reasonable suspicion” that the State Department and Mrs. Clinton deliberately thwarted FOIA by creating, using, and concealing the “clintonemail.com” record system for six years.

There are so many things wrong in this scenario that one scarcely knows where to begin. The fact that Clinton, her staff, including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, and various members of the State Department are not in prison over this outrageous breach is more than frustrating, and it shows just how the system works and how the higher level leaders are insulated from responsibility for breaking the law.

For Clinton it is beyond belief that she is free, not indicted, wealthy from bribery, and now running for president. Beyond that outrage is that the Democrat party and Democrat voters think that someone this corrupt and dishonest is an appropriate candidate for the presidency of the United States.
