According to the Washington Times, Hillary Clinton's top personal aides at the State Department also hid their work emails in personal accounts despite the clear rules against that practice. It also seems that those emails kept on unsecured private systems contained classified information. Here's the key section of the Times report:
Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s top aides have belatedly turned over more than 100,000 pages of emails they had kept on personal email accounts, or accounts tied to Mrs. Clinton’s server, the government told a federal judge late Friday.
Huma Abedin turned over an estimated 23,000 pages of emails, Philippe Reines gave back 70,000 pages of messages and Cheryl Mills returned somewhere in the neighborhood of 11,870 pages, the Obama administration told Judge Rudolph Contreras in a court filing.
This means that these three aides had State Department documents in their personal accounts as well as on accounts on the Clinton system. The law and State Department regs required public business to be done on the government system.
According to the Times, the State Department confirmed that it had just gotten back this enormous trove of emails, but it further said that it would not disclose them until they were checked and the classified documents removed.
If there is still anyone in America who doubted that Hillary's private system was her illegal ploy to avoid having anyone else (like Congress, the media or even the Administration) who could control her email, those doubts should now be gone. There is no way that these three aides would have used private systems for their emails without the express approval of Hillary. Remember, this is the same Hillary who issued directives to State Department employees ordering them NOT to use private email systems. I guess Queen Hillary thought the rules just didn't apply to her and her courtiers.
