Who were they working for, Hillary or us? Don’t answer that, it was rhetorical…
Via The Hill:
The State Department proposed creating a “standalone” computer operating on a separate network for Hillary Clinton shortly after she took the helm as the nation’s top diplomat in 2009, according to newly released emails.
Clinton’s personal computer would be “connected to the internet (but not through our system) to enable her to check emails from her desk,” State Department official Lewis Lukens wrote on Jan. 24, 2009, days after Clinton was sworn in as secretary of State.
“The stand-alone seperate [sic] network PC is on on [sic] great idea,” Under Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy responded.
“Yes we were hoping for that if possible so she can check her email in her office,” agreed Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide and her deputy chief of staff at the time.The comments appear to indicate that State Department officials went out of their way to accommodate Clinton’s unusual bespoke email setup, which involved the exclusive use of a private email account housed on a personal server. Critics of Clinton’s arrangement have tried to force the State Department to clarify whether her private email account and server were expressly permitted by department officials.
