2016 Postmortem

2016-05-28T0:02:14+00:00

NOTE: This thread is not for Clinton naysayers. This is for people who take Clinton's email scandal seriously and are trying to use the collective intelligence of many DUers to uncover more information. --- Here's an important bit from the State Department inspector general report. The first person mentioned is Justin Cooper. The second, the Senior Advisor, is Bryan Pagliano: [QUOTE]OIG identified two individuals who provided technical support to Secretary Clinton . The first, who was at one time an advisor to former President Clinton but was never a Department employee, registered the clintonemail.com domain name on January 13, 2009. The second, a Schedule C political appointee who worked in IRM as a Senior Advisor from May 2009 through February 2013... [[url] https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2842460/ESP-16-03-Final.pdf [/url] (US Department of State, 5/25/2016)] [/QUOTE] [url] http://www.dickmorris.com/bill-clintons-personal-aide-no-security-clearance-operated-hillarys-email-server/ [/url] [url] http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/apr/27/monica-crowley-the-linchpin-of-the-fbis-hillary-cl/ [/url] [url] http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=222852653&privcapId=40152409 [/url] This could be the most important thing to come out of the IG report, the revelation that Justin Cooper was so involved in managing Clinton's private email server. And don't worry about the Dick Morris connection in one of those links. Yes, he's a right wing weirdo, but all he's doing is putting together the info from the IG report. And yes, it's definitely Cooper mentioned in the report. The report almost never names names, but it leaves enough info for people to figure out who is being referred to. In this case, the person being talked about is the one who registered Clinton's server, and previous news reports identified that as Cooper, and other details mentioned could only apply to Cooper. Why is this so important? As Morris points out, it's highly likely that Cooper had no security clearance, since he never worked for the US government. He was basically Bill Clinton's personal assistant, which meant the Clintons trusted him, but he had no legal authority to look at classified information. And yet he helped manage Clinton's private server, which contained above top secret information! Here's my theory on why he was involved. Bryan Pagliano was the main person to run the server, but he had a full time job working for the State Department in Washington, DC. (And the IG report reveals that he was managing the server during his business hours in that job, another big no-no.) Most of the time, Pagliano could deal with server problems remotely. But from time to time, one had to deal with the problem by physically interacting with the server. That's where Cooper comes in. My theory is that Cooper was usually where Bill Clinton was, which meant the Chappaqua house where the server was located or in nearby New York City (less than 100 miles away). So the IG report notes that when the server had to be physically shut down and then restarted due to a hacker attack, it was Cooper who did it, not Pagliano. And that would have been fine if Cooper had the proper security clearance to have access to the info on that server, but there's no evidence so far that he did. This could put Hillary Clinton in great legal jeopardy, because it meant she willingly exposed the entire contents of her server to someone she knew shouldn't be seeing that information. It's been reported by The Washington Times that the Clintons have been paying hundreds of thousands of dollars of Cooper's legal bills. That didn't make sense to me. Why would he have such high legal bills in the first place when he hasn't even been linked to any legal case? But now that makes total sense. Although the mainstream media has totally missed it, it's likely that Cooper (along with Pagliano) is a key part of the case the FBI is building against Clinton. It would be great if people here could dig up more info on Cooper. For instance, when did his ties to The Clinton Foundation and Teneo begin? It seems he was deeply involved in some of the Clintons' corrupt quid pro quo arrangements, which makes his access to all that classified information that much more disturbing.

After leaving State, she had the server stored at Platte River. Although it appears to be a mom and pop operation operating out of an apartment and had minimal employees, it's doubtful any of the owners or employees had any type of security clearance. Nor were there any security measures taken at the apt.
