Top State Department Record-Keeper Says He Warned Clinton Team on Emails

Epoch Times:

WASHINGTON—Former Department of State Director of Information Programs and Services (IPS) John Hackett warned key Hillary Clinton aides about their failure to preserve official business emails on her private server, Judicial Watch announced July 2.

“Well, we heard that there were 50,000 or 60,000 emails, and that they had—‘they’ being the secretary’s team—had culled out 30,000 of these,” Hackett told Judicial Watch during a recent deposition.

The nonprofit government watchdog made the Hackett deposition public July 2. Clinton was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 and used a private email system throughout her tenure to conduct official diplomatic business.

Hackett went on to explain that he “wanted to know what criteria they used” in culling the 30,000 emails because “the standard from the National Archives is very strict.”

“If there was, if there were mixed records, that would be considered a federal record,” Hackett told Judicial Watch. “If it was mixed personal and mentioned a discussion, that would be, under the narrow National Archives rules, it would be considered a federal record.”

The National Archives oversees record preservation throughout the federal government.

Hackett said he first raised the issue in an emphatic manner with then-Under-Secretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy, a member of Clinton’s inner circle of most-trusted aides. read more

  1. This stuff about Hillary keeps coming up. Why doesn’t some federal agency just get to the bottom of it and be done with it? Trump recently said she should be in jail. If so, gather the evidence and convict the monster.

    It just keeps going round and round. At this rate, she’ll die long before she pays for her misdeeds.

  4. Judicial Watch is embarrassing the DOJ. They appear absolutely inept in comparison. I’m not quite ready to say I’ve given up hope for justice in America, but one of the main reasons I haven’t given up is Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch.
