Platte River Networks. Don\’t bother remembering the name, because you won\’t have to. You\’ll be hearing a lot about it in the coming days.
Platte River Networks, you see, is the obscure little company in Denver which Hillary Clinton magically, mystically selected to handle her “private” emails – which, in reality, were the government-owned emails she sent and received during her tenure as Secretary Of State.
And, according to Daniel Bates, writing for London\’s Daily Mail, it is a company with the stench of corruption around it — which certainly makes it a worthy partner to Hillary Clinton.
A key excerpt:
The Internet company used by Hillary Clinton to maintain her private server was sued for stealing dozens of phone lines including some which were used by the White House.
Platte River Networks is said to have illegally accessed the master database for all US phone numbers.
It also seized 390 lines in a move that created chaos across the US government.
Among the phone numbers which the company took – which all suddenly stopped working – were lines for White House military support desks, the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, a lawsuit claims.
Others were the main numbers for major financial institutions, hospitals and the help desk number for T2 Communications, the telecom firm which owned them.
A lawsuit filed on behalf of T2 claims that the mess took 11 days to fix and demands that Platte River pay up $360,000 in compensation.
The claims raise questions about the competence of Platte River, which is based in Denver, Colorado, to handle Mrs Clinton\’s highly sensitive personal information while she was Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State\’s emails would have been potentially a target for foreign espionage.
The one problem I have with Mr. Bates\’ commentary is his statement that “the claims raise questions about the competence of Platte River”. Let\’s not leave out the fact that the claims raise questions about the honesty, the integrity, the respect for the law, of Platte River as well.
In other words, as stated above, a perfectly logical partner for Hillary Clinton.
This stinks so bad that it\’s hard to believe it could stink worse. But, incredibly, every day it does. And there is no reason to believe that stink is going away any time soon.
Hillary Clinton inevitable? Believe me, she\’s evitable.
Oh, one other thing. If you are a regular reader, you know that I often rely on London newspapers for information like this. That is because U. S. mainstream media often do not provide it.
What does that tell you about the current state of U.S. mainstream media?
