Disabled Its Own Security Systems To Accommodate That Server WASHINGTON - Former Secretary Hillary Clinton failed to turn over a copy of a key message involving problems caused by her use of a private homebrew email server, the State Department confirmed Thursday. The disclosure makes it unclear what other work-related emails may have been deleted by the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. "While this exchange was not part of the approximately 55,000 pages provided to the State Department by former Secretary Clinton, the exchange was included within the set of documents Ms. Abedin provided the department in response to our March 2015 request," State Department spokesman John Kirby told The Associated Press on Thursday. Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon did not immediately respond to questions Thursday about why Clinton failed to provide it to the State Department last year. Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall, also did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Before turning over her emails to the department for review and potential public release, Clinton and her lawyers withheld thousands of additional emails she said were clearly personal, such as those involving what she described as "planning Chelsea's wedding or my mother's funeral arrangements, condolence notes to friends as well as yoga routines, family vacations." Clinton has never outlined in detail what criteria she and her lawyers used to determine which emails to release and which to delete, but her 2010 email with Abedin appears clearly work-related under the State Department's own criteria for agency records under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.

Disabled Its Own Security Systems To Accommodate That Server Perhaps, I buried the lead... State Dept. Disabled Its Own Security Systems To Accommodate Hillary's Homebrew Email Server Not only did Hillary Clinton's unsecured private email system risk exposing sensitive and at times highly classified information to outsiders, it forced the State Department to compromise its own security to accommodate her. As the AP reports, "the emails ... show that the State Department technical staff disabled software on their systems intended to block phishing emails that could deliver dangerous viruses." The staff members did so, the emails show, because "they were trying urgently to resolve delivery problems with emails sent from Clinton's private server." In one email, a senior technical official, Ken LaVolpe, told IT employees that "this should trump all other activities." The emails also describe the IT staff's frustration at trying to figure out what is blocking Clinton's emails. Other emails uncovered by Judicial Watch highlight how vulnerable Clinton's email setup was to outages and attacks. Clinton's tech person twice had to report that he had to shut down Clinton's private server because it was being hacked. Another email notes that "clintonemail.com is down due to an outage with our ISP." Clinton chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, says in another that "hrc email coming back -- is server OK?"
