Hillary's aide at State turned over 20 boxes of government emails from his personal email

After denying that he used his personal email account for government work, Hillary's aide turned over 20 boxes of government emails from his personal email account. This goes way beyond Hillary using a personal email server. Now, it turns out her senior staff was as well. That went against a directive from Obama and Hillary. Hillary sent out a directive telling State Dept. employees to use .gov email for .gov work. And I hope his personal email account wasn't on that private server of Hillary's because that would blow her excuse that the only reason she used a private server was for her convenience.

For Hillary supporters who just roll their eyes and blow this off, they need to stop and take a moment and realize how serious this is.

Long-time Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines handed the State Department 20 boxes of work-related emails taken in part from a personal email account, State officials said Wednesday, calling into question the extent to which top aides to the former secretary of state also engaged in controversial email practices.

State Department top document official John Hackett, who heads Freedom of Information Act requests for the agency, told a federal judge in a court hearing Wednesday that Reines was among several officials asked to turn over any any work-related documents in his possession.

Hackett also told the court that State couldn’t produce all of the documents requested by the AP at this time — including one related to Huma Abedin’s role as a “special government employee.” He said the agency is still awaiting work-related emails from former agency officials Abedin, Jake Sullivan and Cheryl Mills. Hackett did not say whether the documents being sought were from a personal account or State.gov account.

The Reines revelations call into question the extent to which Clinton’s aides relied on personal emails for official business, which goes against government record-keeping and transparency rules.

Reines did not respond to an emailed request for comment. But earlier this year he took Gawker to task for publishing a story suggesting he used personal email for work purposes.
