Like everyone else, tracking the pieces of this scandal takes imagination and could require a spreadsheet that includes names and dates. So, below will be some facts and dates and for sure could be amended as more developments are realized.
1. Bill Clinton had/has his own server dedicated to Clinton business, Foundation operations and speeches.
2. Hillary needed an IT based system during the time she was running for president in 2008, could not use the existing server due to capacity limitations, so she bought yet another which came with an IT person.
3. Server 2 was installed in the basement of the Chappaqua home and managed by a person listed as Eric Hoteham. Likely the real name is Eric Hothem, who was a DC stockbroker and a Democrat fundraiser that worked for Bill. Eric was also an aide to Hillary during her time as First Lady.
4. Several email addresses were created on the 2nd server where they had some numbers assigned like [email protected]. Several identified run from 18-22 but leads to a question ‘were there email addresses created 1-17? There is also a strange email address on the server known as [email protected]. It should be noted that Guccifer hacked the email address of hdr22.
5. Hillary used several communications devices: a Blackberry which is government issued, an iPad and an IPhone. Questions include, were any of these fitted with encryption features, including her server(s)? So far that answer is no.
6. In the handful of emails released to date as required by the Judge via the State Department, Hillary did not know how to use email and there was a time when the server was down which caused issues for Huma Abedin.
7. In June of 2013, the Hillary team went to an outside IT provider known as Platte River, located in Denver. All electronic communications were moved to Platte River and the Hillary server was moved to a data center in New Jersey and subsequently wipe clean. Now the question is what the Denver IT company Platte River providing redundant services and or an encryption platform to protect classified data for the emails? So far the company is not responding to media questions. The decision to transfer the server services was at the same time the emails that included Sidney Blumenthal were hacked by Guccifer.
6. Two weeks ago, the FBI made a call to Platte River to determine the basis of their work for the Hillary communications platform. On Thursday of last week, Hillary’s lawyer, David Kendall surrendered the 3 thumb drives to the FBI. On Wednesday of this week, the FBI took control of the server located in New Jersey.
7. The recent 2 of 4 emails in question that were marked with the top secret classifications due in part that they included geo-spatial information were sent via a compartmentalized system to the State Department. From State Dept., they were then removed from the protected compartmentalized system and sent to the uncertified Hillary system. All the top secret designations were removed, which is a felony.
