Tech Firm That Set Up Hillary’s Email Server Loves Going ‘Out For Shots’

Not much is yet known about Platte River Networks, the small Denver-based tech firm that was recently revealed to have helped Hillary Clinton set up a private server in her home.

But according to one YouTube video, those at the company like to throw down shots.

In 2012, two executives of the company, CEO Treve Suazo and vice president of sales and marketing David DeCamillis, appeared in a YouTube video to talk about their relationship with the Venture Technology Network.

DeCamillis discussed a business trip to Chicago with people affiliated with the Heartland Chapter of the network. “Took us in,” DeCamillis recalled, letting out a laugh in the video, “and took us out in Chicago, took us out for shots.”

The Daily Mail revealed new details Tuesday that Platte River Networks, which has ties to the Democratic Party, was the “mom and pop” firm hired to set up Clinton’s servers. The company, according to the publication, was run from a loft apartment and its servers were set up in a bathroom closet.

Tera Dadiotis, a customer relations consultant, told The Daily Mail: “David DeCamillis was a big Democrat. He went to the Democrat Convention. He definitely helped Platte River grow, he had a strong sales background. And he brought a lot of clients on, that was his role as the VP of sales.”

Clinton, running for president again as a Democrat, has been dogged with questions about her emailing habits after it was revealed she was using private emails to conduct official business as secretary of state. Clinton has now turned her private server over to the Justice Department, which is examining whether classified information was being sent or received.
