(50,130 posts)Intent of and design for Hillary's personal server and evasion can only be predicted until the FBI releases its report.
Yet it seems clear (from her evasive tactics and obfuscations) that her personal, unsecured server and the hiding of it were not simply for convenience or lack of IT sophistication or forgetfulness or other reasonable explanation.
The intent, apparently, was to deceive. Her operation was hidden from the President of the United States and his oversight. Deliberately. Willfully. To run foreign policy (and Gawd knows what else) without oversight by the POTUS.
She used flawed intelligence from a man who had been BANNED from advising her, banned by Obama. Sid Blumenthal. Blumenthal, in turn, was getting flawed intel on Libya from a discredited man. Both Blumenthal and this other man were working to gin up private business interests in Libya. Blumenthal was on the payroll of the Clinton Foundation at the same time. Hillary pressured Obama to intervene in Libya against the advice of his other experts.
She hid the correspondence from Blumenthal when turning over her emails. It was only found by the Guccifer hacking of Blumenthal.
More to come. Later...........
