Boehner Demands Hillary Clinton Turns Over Email Server to 3rd Party

World News Videos | US News VideosCopy

Speaker John Boehner demanded that Hillary Clinton turn over her private email server to a third party administrator today, but stopped short of directing House Republicans to subpoena the former Secretary of States personal records.

"The way forward is for the Secretary to turn over all of her emails that pertain to the public, Boehner, R-Ohio, insisted during a news conference on Capitol Hill. But some neutral third party's gonna have to make some decision about what documents are quote personal and which ones are public record. And thus far she's been unwilling to do this.

At her own news conference last week, Clinton admitted that more than 31,000 emails were destroyed because she determined them to be personal. She said she deleted all of the personal emails, which she characterized as messages related to wedding planning and yoga, because she felt she had no reason to save them.

Boehner said he believes that turning the server over to an independent party is the fairest way to ensure all public documents are turned over, particularly in regard to the deadly terrorist attack in Benghazi on Sept 11, 2012.

The American people deserve all the facts about what happened in Benghazi, Boehner said. That's why it's so important for Secretary Clinton to turn over her personal server to a neutral third party.

Boehner said the House Oversight and Government Reform committee will continue examining Federal Open Records law, but he indicated it is premature to subpoena the records from Clinton.

Why is Hillary Clinton turning to Twitter? In a word, distraction

Lately, it seems every time Hillary Rodham Clinton sneezes er, tweets it is a news event.

Take Monday, for instance. The likely 2016 Democratic nominee took to Twitter, admonishing congressional Republicans for delaying the nomination of Loretta Lynch for attorney general, calling it part of a "trifecta against women."

Ms. Lynch has been waiting for Senate confirmation for 128 days. Her confirmation is being held up by a bipartisan human trafficking bill stalled over an abortion provision that Democrats do not like, which Clinton alluded to in her second tweet. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has said that Lynchs nomination would not be considered until the legislation moves forward.

At a Monday press briefing, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest called the delay unconscionable and a bunch of political obstructions set up by Republicans.

Mr. Earnest's comments didn't get much coverage. Hillary's tweets did. Why?

For starters, he's not running for president. She likely is.

And her not-yet-campaign has done a masterful job leveraging Twitter and using it to their candidate's advantage, as the National Journal pointed out.

"[A]s she continues to map out a presidential campaign while rarely dipping into daily political or policy debatesor speaking with the media outside of last week's conferenceher Twitter account has become a potent tool. The (presumably) carefully tailored, deliberate, short blasts have taken the place of news releases, and have been used for everything from spreading information about her personal initiatives to responding to controversy," it said.

Consider this: Between Jan. 25 and Feb. 21 of this year, Clinton sent only three tweets, but averaged 14,099 retweets per tweet, according to an analysis by The Washington Post.

"If retweets were votes, Hillary Clinton would win a 2016 Twitter election in a blowout," the Post reported in a piece titled, "Hillary Clinton has the biggest and most effective Twitter reach of any potential 2016 candidate. Its not even close."
