Roby: Hillary’s ‘secret email account’ suggests State Dept. may be hiding Benghazi info

March 4, 2015

WASHINGTON — U.S Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL2) believes revelations that Hillary Clinton was exclusively using her private, personal email account to conduct official business as secretary of state may indicate there is additional hidden information pertaining to the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi that has not been released.

Not only did Clinton use her personal email account, she was running her own private server.

The Associated Press explains:

The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails — on a private account she used exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state — traced back to an Internet service registered to her family’s home in Chappaqua, New York, according to Internet records reviewed by The Associated Press.

The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, impressive control over limiting access to her message archives. It also would distinguish Clinton’s secretive email practices as far more sophisticated than some politicians, including Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, who were caught conducting official business using free email services operated by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc.

Rep. Roby, who was appointed last year to the House Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi attack, believes the the Clinton emails prove the investigation is far from over.

“Remember when the Administration told us every question about Benghazi had been answered?” Roby asked on Tuesday. “Well, this revelation proves that the Administration and State Department may still be obscuring information. The problem here, of course, is that Clinton appears to have flouted federal requirements stating that official correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record. This troublesome finding only raises more questions about the Administration’s track record of obscuring information. We’ll continue to ask the tough questions and seek answers from a less-than-willing Administration.”

Roby was appointed last May to the House Select Committee to Investigate Benghazi chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC). Check out her discussing the Committee’s work in an exclusive interview with Yellowhammer below.
