Andy Boian discusses Hillary Clinton’s email server with Greta Van Susteren Aug. 20, 2015.
NEW YORK – The Fox television affiliate in Denver has hired a reporter to cover politics, including Monday night’s presidential election debate, without disclosing he is a former speechwriter and transition team member for President Bill Clinton who apparently has had a role in covering up Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information.
The hiring of Andy Boian by KDVR-TV was announced Friday in a report by the station.
In August 2015, Boian appeared on the Fox News show “On the Record” with Greta Van Susteren in his capacity as founder and CEO of the Denver-based crisis management firm Dovetail Solutions.
His firm represented Platte River Networks, the Internet technology company that began managing Clinton’s State Department server Aug. 12, 2013, about five months after Clinton left office.
“The job of an IT company in the capacity of Platte River is to literally manage and protect that data. We don’t look at the data,” Boian told “On the Record.”
He pleaded ignorance that the Clinton server contained any classified information.
“We manage and protect it based on what our clients want, and that’s what we did here,” Boian said on the Fox News broadcast. “I have no knowledge of any server being in any bathroom at any time ever. And that statement that it was, I don’t know where it came from, but it’s erroneous.”
On Aug. 19, 2015, the Denver Post reported Boian’s denial that Platte River ever stored any data belonging to the Clintons.
Boian said Clinton’s server was always kept in a New Jersey data center after she resigned as secretary of state.
“We do not store data in any bathrooms,” Boian insisted.
The Denver Post further reported Boian’s biography on the Dovetail Solution website noted he worked as a campaign adviser, including on “numerous presidential, U.S. Senate, gubernatorial and mayoral campaigns for more than 20 years.”
He served on Bill Clinton’s transition team in 1998 and as a Colorado representative on the Democratic National Committee, where he voted for Denver to be selected as the site for the 2008 Democratic National Convention that chose Sen. Barack Obama as the nominee.
‘Starting to think this whole thing is really covering up’
The recent releases of FBI evidence from the now-closed Clinton email case appear to contradict Boian’s assertions to the media last year in his capacity as founder and CEO of Dovetail Solutions.
On Sept. 23, an FBI “document dump” of 189 pages of evidence included an email documenting that an unnamed employee at Platte River Networks sent a work ticket that referenced the “Hilary [sic] coverup [sic] operation,” after the Clintons asked Platte River to modify her email system so it would automatically delete messages after 60 days.”
On Sept. 20, the Denver Post reported Paul Combetta, a computer specialist with Platte River Networks who worked with Clinton’s staff while she was secretary of state, had posted a message on Reddit in July and December of 2014 asking for technical advice regarding how to strip from classified emails the email address of an unnamed “VERY VIP” client from email archives.
The revelation that strongly suggests Boian not truthful in 2015 when he insisted to news media that his client Platte River Networks did not handle classified emails when dealing with Clinton’s private email server.
On Sept. 14, Paul Combetta and a second Platte River Networks employee, Bill Thornton, pleaded the Fifth Amendment, refusing to testify before a House Oversight Committee hearing titled “Examining Preservation of State Department Records.
The hearing was called after the revelation that in March 2015, Combetta and Thornton deleted Clinton’s private email archives even though they were aware of a court order and a congressional subpoena to preserve the records.
During the hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, pulled up an email exchange dated Aug. 19, 2015, that he claimed was sent between Combetta and Thornton.
The email expressed concern over the Platte River Networks’ contract with Clinton, with either Combetta or Thornton writing in the email Jordan insists was exchanged between the two: “Wondering how we can sneak an email in now after the fact asking them when they told us to cut the backups and have them confirm it for our records. Starting to think this whole thing is really covering up a lot of shaddy (sic) s***.”
On Sept. 3, the Denver Post reported the recently released FBI files made clear that sometime between March 25 and 31, 2015, the Platte River employee that had the “Oh s*** moment” realizing that the archive files had not been deleted then decided to correct the problem by deleting the Clinton archive mailbox from the PRN server. The employee used BleachBit to delete the exported .PST files he had created on the server system containing Clinton’s emails to prevent their possible subsequent recovery.
Back-channel ties
WND has discovered that Boian’s Denver Democratic Party connections extended to elite society families in Denver involved in art and educational institutions. Additionally, WND identified ties Boian has with Clinton advisers, including Democratic operatives in D.C. conducting damage control for Clinton in 2015 as the scandal over her private email server developed.
The connections first surfaced in an obituary published by the Denver Post on July 26, 2016, for Patricia Livingston, a patron of the arts, who was the widow of Johnston R. Livingston, a trustee for the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation that has sponsored various programs at the University of Denver, including the Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.
On Aug. 19, KUSA-TV in Denver, in reporting Mrs. Livingston’s death, noted that Boian was a spokesman for the Livingston family.
On April 27, 2014, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, who worked with the National Security Agency from 1984 to 1988 as a Navy intelligence analyst, published an article in Strategic Culture Roundtable titled “Wealthy U.S. Apparatchiks Rally to New World Order” in which he traced the history of Josef Korbel (1909-1977), the Czechoslovakian diplomat and U.S. educator who was the father of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and the founder of what is today the Joseph Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.
“Korbel was accused by the post-World War II Czechoslovak government of stealing artwork, silverware, chandeliers, and even the gold wallpaper brads from the home of Karl Nebrich, an Austrian businessman,” Madsen wrote. “Korbel, a Czechoslovak Foreign Ministry official, was permitted to live in the house, then trust property held by the Prague government, but with the provision that nothing be removed from the estate. After Korbel was appointed ambassador to Yugoslavia, he packed up all of Nebrich’s belongings and moved them to Belgrade.”
Madsen noted that after the new communist government in Prague issued a warrant for Korbel’s arrest for theft of the Nebrich family assets, Korbel fled to the United States, where he ultimately began teaching at the University of Denver. Madsen also correctly noted that among Korbel’s cadre of students was Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state.
Madsen’s attention was focused on Christopher R. Hill, a career foreign service officer who Korbel hired to be dean of the Joseph Korbel School of International Studies. Hill was also an adviser to the Albright Stonebridge Group, an international lobbying firm run by Madeleine Albright and former Bill Clinton national security adviser Samuel “Sandy” Berger, who was convicted in 2005 for removing classified documents from the U.S. National Archives.
Boian’s biography published on the website of Dovetail Solutions also notes he has served as an adjunct professor at the Korbel Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver.
Dovetail Solutions is also a client of Goodfriend Government Affairs, a Washington-based consulting firm headed by David Goodfriend, the former deputy staff secretary to President Clinton, as well as a former media legal adviser at the Federal Communications Commission, whose primary responsibility at GGA is to “handle matters” before the U.S. Senate and House, particularly the Judiciary and Commerce committees.
On Aug. 24, 2015, Patrick Howley, writing in Breitbart.com noted Goodfriend had served as a “strategic consultant” to Dovetail Solutions and had a close relationship with John Podesta, who was in one of his classes at Georgetown Law School.
Goodfriend discussed the fallout of Hillary Clinton’s email case in an interview March 4, 2015, on Newsmax TV, in which Katrina Pierson, currently a spokeswoman for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, was credentialed at the time as a “former GOP congressional campaign in Texas.”
David Goodfriend discusses the fallout of Hillary Clinton:
In the interview, Goodfriend supported Clinton’s use of a Blackberry mobile device to transmit and receive official State Department emails over her private, unsecured email server.
Sometime in September 2014, the Dovetail Solution’s website was scrubbed and strategic counselor Goodfriend’s name removed.
