Obama Advisor Behind Clinton E-Mail Leak
http://nypost.com/2015/03/14/obama-adviser-behind-leak-of-hillary-clintons-e-mail-scandal/
It’s the vast left-wing conspiracy.
Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett leaked to the press details of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail address during her time as secretary of state, sources tell me.
But she did so through people outside the administration, so the story couldn’t be traced to her or the White House.
In addition, at Jarrett’s behest, the State Department was ordered to launch a series of investigations into Hillary’s conduct at Foggy Bottom, including the use of her expense account, the disbursement of funds, her contact with foreign leaders and her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation.
Six separate probes into Hillary’s performance have been going on at the State Department. I’m told that the e-mail scandal was timed to come out just as Hillary was on the verge of formally announcing that she was running for president — and that there’s more to come.
Members of Bill Clinton’s camp say the former president suspects the White House is the source of the leak and is furious.
“My contacts and friends in newspapers and TV tell me that they’ve been contacted by the White House and offered all kinds of negative stories about us,” one of Bill’s friends quotes him as saying. “The Obamas are behind the e-mail story, and they’re spreading rumors that I’ve been with women, that Hillary promoted people at the State Department who’d done favors for our foundation, that John Kerry had to clean up diplomatic messes Hillary left behind.”
Then, according to this source, Bill added: “The Obamas are out to get us any way they can.”
The sabotage is part of an ongoing feud between the two Democrat powerhouses.
Last fall, during the run-up to the 2014 midterm elections, Jarrett was heard to complain bitterly that the Clintons were turning congressmen, senators, governors and grass-root party members against Obama by portraying him as an unpopular president who was an albatross around the neck of the party.
Jarrett was said to be livid that most Democrats running for election refused to be seen campaigning with the president. She blamed the Clintons for marginalizing the president and for trying to wrestle control of the Democratic Party away from Obama.
And she vowed payback.
My sources say Jarrett saw an opportunity to hit back hard when Monica Lewinsky suddenly resurfaced after years of living in obscurity. Jarrett discreetly put out word to some friendly members of the press that the White House would look with favor if they gave Monica some ink and airtime.
Relations have gotten even frostier in the past few months.
After the Democrats took a shellacking in the midterms, the White House scheduled a meeting with Hillary Clinton. When she showed up in the Oval Office, she was greeted by three people — the president, Jarrett and Michelle Obama.
With his wife and Jarrett looking on, Obama made it clear that he intended to stay neutral in the presidential primary process — a clear signal that he wouldn’t mind if someone challenged Hillary for the nomination.
“Obama and Valerie Jarrett will go to any lengths to prevent Hillary from becoming president,” a source close to the White House told me. “They believe that Hillary, like her husband, is left of center, not a true-blue liberal.”
If she gets into the White House, they believe she will compromise with the Republicans in Congress and undo Obama’s legacy.
“With Obama’s approval,” this source continued, “Valerie has been holding secret meetings with Martin O’Malley [the former Democratic governor of Maryland] and [Massachusetts Sen.] Elizabeth Warren. She’s promised O’Malley and Warren the full support of the White House if they will challenge Hillary for the presidential nomination.”

Clearly the Bush email issue is a bigger issue. I mean he WAS President and Hillary was just the Sec of State and trying to become President.
Maybe we can start talking about No War for Oil again or maybe even the recount in Florida. They are like way more important. Even better lets talk about Bush's military record.

Of course, by us talking about the Bush email thing, it disallows us to talk about the Clinton email thing that is happening right now, compared to 2007.
"How quickly it dropped out of the news stream?"
That was 2007. I'd be embarrassed if we were still talking about it today. Oh wait, we are. I remember when it happened. I'm not defending it nor am I taking away from it.
Its hard to believe that Hilary scrubbed 30,000 (is what it looks like at the moment) emails that pertained to her daughters wedding and her mothers funeral. If that is the case, lets dig em up and clear this thing up. Until then, I'll keep a tab on another lying politician.

Not my point. I have no particular allegiance to Blue or Red. What's interesting is how quickly that incident dropped out of the news stream.
"In April of 2007, The Bush Administration was being scrutinized for firing eight US attorneys for seemingly political purposes. When congress asked for the emails concerning the issue, guess what?
Yup. Lost. 5 million emails, run through the private accounts of the RNC were gone forever. The accounts were supposed to be used for non-policy work to avoid violating ethics laws, but Congress had evidence that official government business, including the firing of the eight attorneys.
Those email accounts were used by 22 White House staffers, including Carl Rove, who used them for a reported 95% of his communication.
That happened on a Wednesday, and by Sunday morning talk show time, it had already run its course and disappeared."

Yup, there it is. "Your guy did it too, so my guy doing it doesn't matter."

I caught that and I was wondering the same thing... how can anyone get left of/more liberal than Obama? Perhaps they mean "just left of center", meaning not far enough left?
"“They believe that Hillary, like her husband, is left of center, not a true-blue liberal.” Are they then saying or inferring left of Obama?
I read something else about Valerie Jarrett not too long ago... I'll have to try to look it up and see what other nastiness she's been up to. :-)
