One, Tera Dadiotis, called it 'a mom and pop shop' which was an excellent place to work, but hardly seemed likely to be used to secure state secrets. And Tom Welch, who helped found the company, confirmed the servers were in a bathroom closet. It can also be disclosed that the small number of employees who were aware of the Clinton contract were told to keep it secret.
The way in which Clinton came to contract a company described as a 'mom and pop' operation remains unclear. However Daily Mail Online has established a series of connections between the firm and the Democratic Party. Speaking to Daily Mail Online at her home in Castle Rock, Colorado, Tera said: 'I think it's really bizarre, I don't know how that relationship evolved. 'At the time I worked for them they wouldn't have been equipped to work for Hilary Clinton because I don't think they had the resources, they were based out of a loft, so [it was] not very high security, we didn't even have an alarm. 'I don't know how they run their operation now, but we literally had our server racks in the bathroom. I mean knowing how small Platte River Networks... I don't see how that would be secure [enough for Clinton].' Founded in 2002 by entrepreneurs Treve Suazo, Brent Allshouse and Tom Welch, Platte River Networks worked out of a 1,858 square feet loft apartment in downtown Denver up until this earlier year when they moved to a much bigger 12,000 sq.ft space. Clinton's 'homebrew' computer system housed her emails while she was Secretary of State between 2009 and 2013. Platte River Networks provided its services in mid-2013 according to Barbara Wells, the company's lawyer."So.... Hillary said she turned over everything. She didn't. Hillary said she never sent classified material. She did. Hillary said all of her correspondence was saved because people at the other end of the conversations were using government addresses. They weren't. In fact some of them had private addresses on her server. Hillary said her server was secure. We're willing to bed the NSA, DHS, and Pentagon don't consider a bathroom closet in Denver "secure." Hillary still maintains that the 30,000 deleted emails were all recipes, wedding plans, and personal musings. Given that she's lied about everything else, why would any sane person believe that? Given her gross disregard for laws and rules, much less the sensitive nature of the information she was passing around, how can the DNC still pretend that Hillary is capable of leading the most powerful nation on Earth? If the woman couldn't handle an email address without exposing classified material to hackers, why should she be trusted to run the entire country?
