Hillary Clinton's Lawyer Defends Her Use of Personal Email

Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email account for conducting State Department business followed both federal rules in place at the time and the practice of some of her predecessors, her lawyer says.

The explanation, from Washington, D.C. lawyer David Kendall, comes in a letter sent late Friday to the State Department's undersecretary for management, obtained by NBC News.

"Secretary Clinton's use of personal e-mail was consistent with the practice of other Secretaries of State and was permissible under State Department policy in place during her tenure," Kendall writes...

...In his letter, Kendall quotes from a memoir by former Secretary of State Colin Powell who wrote that he used his personal email account for messages to "principal assistants, to individual ambassadors, and increasingly to [his] foreign-minister colleagues."

Clinton's use of her personal account was also permitted by federal regulations, Kendall says, including rules issued by the National Archives to implement a federal law on record preservation.

In 2009, Kendall says, the rule explained the practice to be followed when federal agencies "allow employees to send and receive electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency."

In that event, the employee must ensure that a record of the email is obtained in a government system. "Secretary Clinton followed that regulation through her practice of communicating with other Department officials on their state.gov e-mail accounts," Kendall's letter says.

By forwarding and copying messages to department employees at their government addresses, her emails were preserved in the State Department system, he said.

Kendall also said Clinton followed government regulations in deciding which emails in her personal accounts were private and which involved official business.

Wait and see how this turns out, but it is looking more and more as if zealots on the Right are chasing their tail on this one, not to mention the fact that they shot their gunpowder way too early.

FYI.

Oh, her lawyer defended her.

Wow.

That's a game changer

 

[Obiwan]

And Hillary's lawyer trying to defend her is news???

What would be newsworthy would be if her lawyer said ""The bitch is guilty as sin!!! Get a rope!!!"

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Well since it's her lawyer everything is OK then.....<eye roll>

It's looking more and more like republican hopes that they can drag this nonsense out until November 2016 are getting slimmer and slimmer.

So let's ponder a question shall we? If the material in Hillary Clinton's server was turned over to the House Benghazi Committee nearly a year ago, doesn't that make them equally guilty under the law for storing classified material on an unsecured server?

The law is black and white and if the Benghazi Committee stored classified material without their knowledge they are just as guilty as Hillary Clinton.

When you are a candidate for President, and you are sending your professional mouthpiece shyster out to defend you to angry American citizens...well, you can expect your poll numbers to drop some more next week.

The old crone trotted James Carvil out to defend her too...and he made an ass out of himself.

Keep the B.S. coming O.P.

You're trying to put lipstick on a pig...and there ain't enough lipstick....she's done. Its just a question of whether she goes to jail. That's what the lawyer is for....not bullshitting the American people.

And who says they didn't store the information in a secure area, instead of on an unsecure server in a bathroom closet belonging to someone without a security clearance???

The RWNJ responses on this thread are exactly what I expected.

Thanks, guys, for the fine entertainment.

Do y'all do "fetch" and "rollover" as well??

Because they're Republican Congressmen possibly the stupidest thing on planet earth.

Edit to add: A Republican spokesman claimed "when they learned that a document was classified it was moved to a new server."

I am sending you the bill for the brain bleach that I just bought using your Ashley Madison account. Just wanted to let you know. That will be 4 million intergalactic credits, please!

Only if you're dumb enough to hire a lawyer that won't defend you next time you catch a case. Do that, and I'll fetch the beer!!!

Those polls are old....only the average is nearly current. Rubio is beating her in Pennslvania, Ohio, Florida...and that was before this disastrous week in which she got bad news, or made an ass out of herself, or both....every single day.

Stick a fork in her....she's done...This ain't Argentina and she's not Evita Peron. You don't get to be President just because your husband was. Particularly when you belong in jail.

You'd best go with the Socialist who admits he's a Socialist.

And be sure to check the new up-to-date polls next week.
