BEN AFFLICT HAD HILLARY’S PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS–AND AMBASSADOR CHRIS STEVENS DIDN’T
Ben Affleck sent an email to Hillary Clinton’s private email server during her tenure at the State Department, an email released on Friday by the agency revealed.
The Argo and Batman v. Superman star e-mailed Clinton on April 16, 2012 to provide an advanced copy of a report on sector security reform in the Democratic Republic of Congo on behalf of his Eastern Congo Initiative nonprofit organization.
“The report discusses the opportunity that now exists for the international community to partner with the Government of the DRC to reform the security sector and, in doing so, take concrete steps towards creating a better future for the country,” Affleck wrote. “This report describes a path towards greater security if reform of the military, police and judicial sector is supported by firm commitments from the government of the DRC and the international community.”
He added:
The report maintains that the underlying reason for many of the problems in the DRC is the pervasive... lack of security throughout the country.
(After this think maybe she would have taken some precautionary steps in Libya? Why does Ben Affleck have her email address but not the Libyan Ambassador Christopher Stevens?)
It offers a critical look at the symptoms that a weak military, police and justice system project on the population as well as the root causes of the horrible reality of daily life in the DRC; lack of political will. Past attempts at military reform have failed mainly due to the lack of political will from the Congolese government, and the international community’s shortfalls in supporting and encouraging the momentum needed for reform.
During the Benghazi Committee hearings last week, Clinton acknowledged that Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was killed along with three other Americans in the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Libya, did not have Clinton’s private email address.
NOT SO LUCKY: The late U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, never had Clinton's personal email address and died in a terror attack after futilely asking dozens of times for added security
“I do not believe that he had my personal email,” Clinton said in her testimony, adding: “He was in constant contact with people on my staff, other officials in the State Department, and I did have an opportunity to talk with him about the substance of the policy. But with respect to security, he took those requests where they belonged, he took them to security professionals.”
In other words I am not the Secretary of State when it comes to accepting responsibility. I just used this position as a path to the WH.
The email was revealed as part of the State Department’s effort to release thousands of Clinton’s emails stored on a private server during her tenure as Secretary of State.
You see...this time it really did make a difference.
