The White House admits Barack Obama knew Hillary Clinton was using a personal email account…but not to what extent
Last week, during an interview, Barack Obama claimed that he only heard that Hillary Clinton was using a personal email account to conduct all State Department business when he heard about it on the news like the rest of us. This flies in the face of the revelation that White House aides knew about the potential scandal back in August of last year.
Today the story began to change when White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest admitted that the President did indeed, as we all knew must have been the case, correspond with Hillary Clinton through her personal email account.
Here is more:
President Barack Obama knew that Hillary Rodham Clinton conducted business on a nongovernment email account while secretary of state, but only recently learned the details of the privately run system she was operating, the White House said Monday.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that Obama had personally exchanged emails with Clinton on her private account — hdr22@clintonemail.com — and was therefore familiar with the address.
So how did Josh Earnest explain the apparent discrepancy? He attempted to “clarify” Barack Obama’s comments by claiming the President knew but he did not really know, here is more still:
Earnest said Obama had been referring to when he learned the specifics of Clinton’s email system — such as the fact that she had a privately run email server and was using the private account exclusively.
“The president — as I think many people expected — did over the course of his first several years in office trade emails with the secretary of state,” Earnest said, adding that the number of emails they exchanged was not large. But it wasn’t until recently that Obama learned how Clinton and her team planned to ensure the emails were properly maintained to comply with the Federal Records Act.
It now appears as if the Obama regime is trying to “massage” the message. Once again Barack Obama’s words seem to be at odds with his actions…

Thanks for asking, Steve. It went very well, although I did get a little tired. That’s to be expected when I’ve been sitting on my butt for a couple of weeks, lol. Now, I just need to get back to working my regular hours. 🙂

It’s like the caption news article today: “Obola declares new threat to America” … we know it’s ‘him’ who’s the threat – him and his puppeteers! A real American Prez might not know for a while but as soon as he did Hill-of-beans would be through.

Yes, once he found out about it he should have had it looked into. Unless of course they are all doing it…

Maybe when the WH found out what she was doing, they didn’t look into because they were glad some of their wrong doing was out of reach of the public.

‘A Den of Snakes’ (thieves) Steve.
We need some Andrew Jackson’s: “You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.” It wasn’t by his own power he was relying on – just as those in high positions have their help.

Yeah, he does not seem to understand that as the leader everything that happens under his watch he is responsible for. And when something happens he is the one who needs to take action yet he gets away with this mantra that he is simply detached,

I doubt very much that there is any loyalty there, in the Senate and House, yes, but not in the Administration. I think they are out to blame someone, anyone, that can have blame put on them….you know the saying “it’s you, not me”, I think it works very well for them. Of COURSE he knew about Hillary, no emails to the White House??? PLEASE! Does anyone actually believe that crap? She can spin and spin ad hopefully the stories are becoming less and less believable. Even SOME of the media are not buying it this time. I would say there is not much love lost with Hillary.
Laura, glad your day went well! 🙂
