Obama Lied, He was fully Aware of Clinton's Secret Email Server, by Alice Greene, 10/27/16
President Obama
claimed he knew nothing about Hillary Clinton’s private email server until he
saw the story on the news. A recently released email from John Podesta’s
hacked account suggests that Obama was fully aware of Hillary’s behavior.
On March 7th,
2015, President Obama told CBS News’
Bill Plante that he learned about Hillary's server “the same time everybody else
learned it, through news reports.”
Immediately
after the interview, Clinton spokesperson Josh Schwerin sent this message
to Jennifer Palmieri (Director of Communications for Hillary’s campaign): Jen you probably have more on this but it looks like POTUS just said he
found out HRC was using her personal email when he saw it in the news.
That same day,
top Clinton aide Cheryl Mills sent the following message to John Podesta:
We need to clean this up – he [Obama]
has emails from her [Hillary] – they do not say state.gov.
Two days after
the CBS interview, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest explained that while
the President did receive emails from Hillary, he was unaware of the private
email server: “The point that the President was making is not that he
didn’t know Secretary Clinton’s email address – he did – but he was not aware
of the details of how that email address and that server had been set up or how
Secretary Clinton and her team were planning to comply with the Federal Records Act."
Donald Trump
was quick to comment, insisting that the email proves Obama knew about
Hillary's non-government server. “So that means Obama is now in the act…he
didn’t want to get caught up in the big lie. He is caught up now, folks,"
said Trump this week at a campaign event in Florida.
Meanwhile, the
liberal news is using Trump as a scapegoat to downplay the story.
New York Times columnist
Frank Bruni told CNN that Trump’s very existence is drawing the media away from
the WikiLeaks story. This story “would be an enormous issue in these
closing weeks of the campaign if it weren’t for Donald Trump,” said Bruni.
Hillary Clinton is “catching an enormous break here.”
The WikiLeaks
story would be “dominating” the news “if her opponent was not Donald Trump –
someone who every day in every way provides juicer fodder, bigger scandals,
greater outrages.”
WikiLeaks has
released emails from John Podesta's hacked account daily for more than two
weeks. Hillary and her team refuse to confirm or deny the emails’ authenticity,
and continue to blame the Russian government for the hack.
