Officials Uncover Two Chains Of Emails Hillary Clinton Didn't Turn Over
Source: Guardian UK
Emails concerning the Benghazi attacks and correspondence with general David Petraeus were not sent where they should have been and are being handed over
Separately, the Obama administration announced on Friday that it, too, had discovered a new chain of emails that Clinton had failed to turn over, these between Clinton and general David Petraeus, who was chief of the military’s central command - CENTCOM - at the time.

9. Actually it IS bad - It's Petraeus, after all, who in charge at Benghazi and directing a covert operation with dozens of operatives on the ground there before, during, and after the attacks.
It was a CIA covert op and every Repub on the intel committee knew it within 2 weeks of the attack. Knowing the secrecy involved the cynical Repubs knew they could make hay out of blaming HRC and the State Dept for as long as the corpmedia would let them get away with it.
I'm glad Petraeus' name is popping up on this.

15. At what ****ing point DOES it become a story???
When you ignore security suggestions?
When you mishandle classified material on an unsecured system?
When you decide which of your e-mails should be revealed and then attempt to delete and wipe the rest?
Or when the guy in charge of the military sends business e-mails to the Secretary of State regarding Benghazi which are found and that Clinton deleted with her "yoga info"???
Because at some point it DID become a story.

20. It gets worse.
From the article:QuoteThe Petraeus emails, however, represent a more serious breach of protocol. The State Department’s record of Clinton emails begins on 18 March 2009 – almost two months after she entered office. Before then, Clinton has claimed, she used an old AT&T Blackberry email account, the contents of which she no longer can access.
The Petraeus emails, first discovered by the Defense Department and then passed to the State Department’s inspector general, challenge that claim. They start on 10 January 2009, with Clinton using the older email account. But by 28 January – a week after her swearing in – she switched to using the private email address on a homebrew server that she would rely on for the rest of her tenure. There are fewer than 10 emails back and forth in total, officials said, and the chain ends on 1 February.
It looks like the State Department is actually covering for her (if this story is true).
