An email set by a subcontractor suggests that Hillary Clinton’s deputies repeatedly directed them to erase months-old backups of her State Department emails, just as federal officials began asking for the emails.
“With the consent of our client and their end user, and consistent with our policies regarding data privacy, yesterday, Tuesday, October 6, Datto delivered a hardware device to the FBI containing all backed up data related to Platte Rivers Networks’ client known to be in its possession,” said the company. The “end user” would presumably be either Hillary Clinton or an entity under her control, such as the “Clinton Executive Service Corporation,” which pops up in many stories about how Platte River Networks was contracted to take care of the email server.
Not only has Datto surrendered equipment to the FBI, but they’ve also stated that they warned Hillary Clinton’s computer company, Platte River Networks, that her server was vulnerable to hackers… and they say their warnings were disregarded, because FBI investigators ordered that the system should not be altered in any way.
Hillary Clinton’s lawyers have agreed to hand over online backups of her emails made through an Internet “cloud” storage system to the FBI, and the Senate Homeland Security committee has also asked to see these files.
No matter what the FBI finds in the recently retrieved emails on her recently seized private server, one thing is already clear: Hillary Clinton, and her political team, have repeatedly, intentionally tried to mislead the public as they sought to downplay the story.
The Denver-based company that stored Hillary Clinton’s private email server said that the emails might still be recoverable, because there’s no evidence that the server was properly wiped clean. “Platte River has no knowledge of the server being wiped,” Platte River representative Andy Boian told The Washington Post. “All the information we have is that the server wasn’t wiped.”
One of Hillary Clinton’s closest chief technology advisers went to high school with a top official at the Denver-based email storage company that housed her private server, Breitbart News has learned.
Was Hillary Clinton’s private email server hacked? The FBI is trying to answer that question as part of its investigation into possible mishandling of classified information.
The small Denver-based company that stored Hillary Clinton’s private email server has close business and personal ties to Hillary Clinton and to the chairman of her presidential campaign, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
A spokesman for Platte River Networks, the company which handled Hillary Clinton’s email server after she left the State Department, says the company turned the server over last week at the FBI’s request.
Andy Boian, CEO of Dovetail Solutions, who is helping with public relations for Platte River Networks, the company that managed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s server, said that company was unaware any sensitive material was on the server, and that Platte
Former employees point out that Platte River did nothing wrong by accepting the work from Clinton, which they tried to keep quiet, and handled to the best of their ability. It was Hillary Clinton’s legal responsibility to ensure that classified information was properly handled; given that she’s been lying about it for so long to everyone else, it’s quite possible that she never told Platte River about it.
The company representative confirmed that Denver-based Platte River Networks was hired by the Clinton family in June 2013, five months after Clinton left the State Department, to secure the private email server that she used to conduct official government business. Platte River Networks was paid by the Clintons personally.
As the Hillary Clinton email scandal turns into a mushroom cloud, with new names popping into the chain of custody for her electronic communications every day, one of the lingering questions is whether any of these people were actually cleared to handle the sensitive, classified, and Top Secret information Clinton recklessly exposed.
Platte River Networks of Denver, Colorado held on to Clinton’s private email server from her State Department tenure for more than two years, from 2013 to this week. The company gave the server to the FBI following an FBI visit to the company’s headquarters. Platte River has claimed that Clinton’s server, which it obtained in 2013 from Clinton’s home in New York, no longer had any information on it, but the server reportedly did have Clinton’s emails on it at one time while it was in Platte River’s possession.
We’ll be hearing a lot more in the days to come about Platte River Networks, the tiny computer company in Denver, Colorado that Hillary Clinton improbably chose to manage the illicit “home-brewed” server she stashed in the basement of her vast estate in Chappaqua, New York.
The pledges from Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills are contained in court documents submitted by the State Department this week as a part of a public records lawsuit brought by the conservative group Judicial Watch.
Hillary Clinton’s lawyer confirms with the Washington Post that the federal government has contacted him about the security of her private email server while she served as Secretary of State.
