They also neglected repeated warnings about the security of the BlackBerry while Clinton and her closest aides took obvious security risks in using the basement server . Senior officials who helped Clinton with her BlackBerry claim they did not know details of the basement server , the State Department said , even though they received emails from her private account . One emailcontact.collaborate.correspondencewritten by a senior official mentioned the server . The scandal has pitted those who say Clinton was innocently trying to find the easiest way to communicate against those who say she placed herself above the law in a quest for control of her records . She and her campaign have been accused of confusing matters with contradictory and evolving statements that minimized the consequences of her actions .
“ We got so easily diverted into this cloak and dagger kind of nonsense , and people , and how people just took their story and ran with it . So , I say we have got to be a little more sophisticated if you will , and not allow ourselves to be so easily manipulated , ” Baraka urged . As reported by Breitbart News , after the WikiLeaks emailcontact.collaborate.correspondencescandal , Hillary Clinton ’s campaign blamed the Russians . “ What ’s disturbing to us is that experts are telling us Russian state actors broke into the DNC , stole these emails , and other experts are now saying that the Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of actually of helping Donald Trump , ” Hillary ’s campaign manager Robby Mook said . The Kremlin denied any involvement .
* * * The DNC also made a secret “ agreement ” with Kenneth Vogel , an influential report for Politico . An emailcontact.collaborate.correspondencefrom late April with the subject line “ per agreement … any thoughts appreciated ” shows that Vogel sent an advanced copy of a story about Hillary Clinton ’s fundraising to the DNC even before his editor even saw it . “ Vogel gave me his story ahead of time / before it goes to his editors as long as I did n’t share it , ” DNC press secretary Mark Paustenbach wrote to Miranda . “ Let me know if you see anything that ’s missing and I ’ll push back . ”
“ Everything about my job in the U.S. Navy was classified , ” said Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez , R - Lake Elsinore . “ I ’d be facing a court martial if I ’d handled it like Hillary . ” Melendez , who served as a Russian translator in the Navy , took to Twitter to share her opinion about the ongoing FBI probe into Clinton ’s alleged use of a personal emailcontact.collaborate.correspondenceaccount to send and receive classified information . The State Department announced today that it would not be releasing 22 emails covering 37 pages for public scrutiny because they contain highly sensitive information . The U.S.
Clinton ’s campaign would not confirm the authenticity of the emails — though it did not explicitly deny it either . Podesta tweeted on Friday evening that he did not “ have time to figure out which docs are real and which are faked . ” Clinton spokesman Glen Caplin said in an emailcontact.collaborate.nathat , “ Earlier today the U.S. government removed any reasonable doubt that the Kremlin has weaponized WikiLeaks to meddle in our election and benefit Donald Trump ’s candidacy . ” He added , “ We are not going to confirm the authenticity of stolen documents released by Julian Assange who has made no secret of his desire to damage Hillary Clinton .

He also called the birther movement , which the Republican presidential nominee helped lead , " racist . " " That 's what the 99 % believe . When Trump could n't keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim , " Powell wrote in an August emailcontact.collaborate.correspondence. The messages , the existence of which were first reported by BuzzFeed and The Intercept , were posted to DCleaks , an organization affiliated with other recent hacks of high - profile figures .

This fits the street rep , ” he added . The State Department ’s watchdog report was especially damaging , given the official nature of its source . The report claimed that Clinton never sought approval for her “ homebrew ” emailcontact.collaborate.correspondencesetup , that her use of the system violated the department ’s record - keeping rules and that it would have been rejected had she brought it up to department officials . Clinton ’s allies attempted to paint the office as partisan in the weeks ahead of the report ’s release , but the effort failed to leave a lasting impact . For months , Clinton and her team have failed to offer a convincing explanation for the use of the private server , and she has steadfastly refused to apologize .
