Judicial Watch: New Documents Reveal More Instances of Classified Information on Hillary Clinton’s Unsecure, Non-‘State.gov’ System
Emails Reveal Clinton Had Extensive Knowledge of the Operation and Security Issues with Her Non-‘State.gov’ Email System
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 78 pages of new documents from the U.S. Department of State containing emails of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent and received over her unsecure, non-“state.gov” email system. Three of the email exchanges include classified information. The emails also reveal that Clinton had detailed knowledge about the security issues with in her non-State Department email system.
On March 8, 2011, Hillary Clinton sent classified information regarding Bahrain to Justin Cooper, who reportedly had no security clearance, with instructions to show it to Bill Clinton. Cooper was the Bill Clinton aide, who asked State Department IT specialist Bryan Pagliano to build a server for Mrs. Clinton in early 2009 as she started her new job as Secretary of State.
On August 24, 2010, Clinton emailed Cooper additional classified information to print, including the secretary's call sheet for Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
In a February 13, 2010, email exchange, Hillary Clinton passed along classified information to Cooper, which originally was sent to Cheryl Mills (Clinton’s then-chief of staff) by U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual. The classified information included a note from Mexican Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa to Hillary Clinton. In the email to Cooper, Clinton asks him to “look for Espinosa’s note and respond.”
The documents are part of the accelerated schedule of production ordered by U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg, which requires the State Department to complete processing by September 28, 2018 the remaining documents of the 72,000 pages recovered by the FBI in its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s illicit email server. These new classified and other emails appear to be among those that Clinton had attempted to delete or had otherwise failed to disclose.
Judge Boasberg’s November 30, 2017, order came in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on May 6, 2015, (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00687)) seeking:
All emails sent or received by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in her official capacity as Secretary of State, as well as all emails by other State Department employees to Secretary Clinton regarding her non-“state.gov” email address.
The newly released documents also reveal Hillary Clinton’s knowledge of system vulnerabilities; Cooper giving computer security advice; and foreign policy advice from Sidney Blumenthal, who was rejected by the Obama administration for a position at the State Department:
All of your older messages will remain on the server. There is a way for me to move everything on to the new device, but the security whizzes have convinced me that this is a horrible thing to do because you also transfer any viruses, spyware and junk overseas providers hide on there. We also have some new security features and polices [sic] that I would like to add to any new berry you have -- the most noticeable difference will require a more complex password. It is a constant fight to keep up with the security measures and unfortunately we keep seeing reminders of why we need to.
Clinton was the subject of a grand jury investigation into her BlackBerry email accounts. In June 2017, Judicial Watch submitted evidence to the court that Clinton knowingly used an unsecure BlackBerry device despite being warned by “security hawks” against doing so.
“The fact that Hillary Clinton and her agents tried to destroy or hide emails shows how she flagrantly and knowingly violated the laws that protect classified information and government records,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And these new emails refute Hillary Clinton’s repeated claims of having little or no knowledge about her email system. She clearly was fully in charge of setting up her outlaw email system and overseeing its use. When will the Justice Department act?”
Last year, the FBI uncovered 72,000 pages of documents Clinton attempted to delete or did not otherwise disclose. Until the court intervened and established a new deadline, the State Department had been slow-walking the release of those documents at a rate that would have required Judicial Watch and the American people to wait until at least 2020 to see all the releasable Clinton material.
Prior to the FBI investigation, Clinton repeatedly stated that the 55,000 pages of documents she turned over to the State Department in December 2014 included all of her work-related emails. In response to a court order in another Judicial Watch case, she declared under penalty of perjury that she had “directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done.”
In a related case involving emails found on the laptop of disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, who is the husband of former Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Judicial Watch has discovered that Clinton failed to turn over 67 additional emails, bringing the total to at least 694 emails that Hillary Clinton failed to turn over and further contradicting a statement that, “as far as she knew,” all of her government emails had been turned over to the State Department.

Uptick Newswire “Stock Day” Interviews Hemp Inc.’s Industrial Hemp Manufacturing’s COO, David Schmitt, on Plans for the Hemp Industry in 2018
PHOENIX, Jan. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Uptick Newswire “Stock Day” podcast keeps investors up to date on the latest penny stock news by bringing transparency in the micro-cap side of the market. Connect with Stock Day and to over 600+ interviews from CEO’s on the OTC, Pink Sheets and micro-cap news from around the world by following Stock Day’s YouTube, Google Play and iTunes.
Everett Jolly, CEO and host of Stock Day, focuses on the rapidly growing industrial hemp industry, in the latest interview with David Schmitt, COO of Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC, a “wholly owned subsidiary” of Hemp Inc. (OTC:HEMP) (the “Company”).
Industrial hemp, as most are aware, is cultivated much differently than marijuana. Marijuana is used solely for its medical and psychoactive aspects. Hemp, on the other hand, has a low THC content and produces no psychoactive results. It has long been known for its versatility, durability, sustainability, and high-quality. It grows quickly in just about any climate, doesn’t require pesticides, and removes toxins found in soil. Used for over 12,000 years, hemp was once the primary fiber used to produce rope, paper, canvas, and clothing in the United States and Europe. Hence, industrial hemp, which is not marijuana, is here to stay and Hemp, Inc. is at the forefront of that industry.
COO Schmitt, who is also on the board of NCIHA (North Carolina Industrial Hemp Association), had started the interview off discussing his association with North Carolina’s written legislation and the initial involvement in establishing this legislation to the hemp industry within North Carolina. Switching gears, he continues with Industrial Hemp Manufacturing’s involvement with the farmers across North Carolina helping them prosper with their infrastructure. Mr. Schmitt was asked to elaborate on how hemp crop income is measured compared to other farm produce within North Carolina. 2017 was North Carolina’s first year for industrial hemp farmers but as Mr. Schmitt discussed, last year was not the best due to legalities with the DEA and government regulations.
“Nobody did great [last] year and one thing was, we learned a lot. I think 2018 is going to be a great year for the hemp farmers in North Carolina and it is my belief that by 2020 North Carolina will lead the nation in industrial hemp production. There is no infrastructure in this country, nobody has invested $20 million in an industrial hemp facility like we have. Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc., is a visionary. He does a great job of looking into the future and we built the infrastructure here before hemp was even legal,” Mr. Schmitt overviews on the importance of their 85,000 square-foot multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility, which is one of the top five in the world for its size.
The company currently has 18,000,000 pounds of kenafin inventory and another 2,000,000 to be harvested in the next couple of months. At $2 to $4 per pound, Hemp, Inc. is looking at some very hefty revenues! Amid backlash from U.S. Attorney General’s move on cannabis, industrial hemp is a safe bet. Hemp, Inc. would be immune if there is any federal pushback on marijuana.
In the conclusion of the interview, Mr. Schmitt highlights the plans for creating revenues within the first quarter of 2018 and the company expanding distribution in 2018. He states, “Industrial hemp has a very bright future in the U.S. It is our goal to help the family farms survive and prosper and it is our goal to make this a reality.”
