- A State Department audit has faulted Hillary Clinton and previous secretaries of state for poorly managing email and other computer information and slowly responding to new cybersecurity risks.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report by the agency's inspector general Wednesday.

It cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to communications. These started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state, but her failures were singled out as more serious.

The review came after revelations Clinton exclusively used a private email account and server while in office. Clinton is now the likely Democratic presidential nominee.

The 78-page report says the department and its secretaries were "slow to recognize and to manage effectively the legal requirements and cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications, particularly as those risks pertain to its most senior leadership."

The "legal requirements" line is interesting.

Better luck next time.

9. Where's the beef?

12. Here

"The report says she should have printed and saved her emails during her four years in office or surrendered her work-related correspondence immediately upon stepping down in February 2013. Instead, Clinton provided those records in December 2014, nearly two years after leaving office.

The report found that a top Clinton aide was warned in 2010 that the system may not properly preserve records but dismissed those worries, indicating that the system had passed legal muster. But the inspector general said it could not show evidence of a review by legal counsel. "

29. "Clinton and aides chose not to cooperate with the review."

The word "chose" shows intent, and that is a crime.

[TwilightZone]

8. Well, maybe they'll indict Colin Powell

[NWCorona]

13. He is/was under FBI investigation as well.

[TwilightZone]

16. Good luck with that

[amborin]

18. He did not have a private email server, big difference

[TwilightZone]

19. Personal e-mail, documents deemed to be classified after-the-fact

Not as different as you'd like to believe.

10. " Clinton and her top aides chose not to cooperate with the review."

The State Department inspector general concluded that Hillary Clinton did not comply with the agency’s policies on records, according to a report released to lawmakers on Wednesday that also revealed that Clinton and her top aides chose not to cooperate with the review.

Get that? She and her top aides would not cooperate with the State Department review. A department that she was the head of.

Worst candidate ever. She should not be anywhere near the White House

[Lizzie Poppet]

11. "L'Etat? L'Etat c'est Moi!"

Venal, duplicitous, warmongering, and yeah, I'll say it: unqualified.

[Punkingal]

14. Chose not to cooperate.

What is wrong with her?

[Autumn]

15. I think she has something to hide.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

21. Where is that excerpt from, please? nt

24. I guess you missed the part where he faulted former SOS as well

You people are so desperate...this is a big nothing...but feel free to get excited...so not important though.

[Demsrule86]

22. Nothing here but you left out kind of an important part

" A State Department audit has faulted Hillary Clinton and previous secretaries of state for poorly managing email and other computer information and slowly responding to new cybersecurity risks"

The audit began before Clinton was even in...desperate for Bernie huh? It won't help.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

25. So, other SoSs had their own servers in their basements? nt

[Ohioblue22]

27. You just keep clinging to that , like guns and religion

[ChisolmTrailDem]

31. I don't cling to either guns or religion. What are you talking about? nt

[frylock]

32. You're the one clinging to Colin Powell's trouser leg.

[Ohioblue22]

35. Say anything for the sake of saying nothing

[CrowCityDem]

28. The private server:

Does anyone here really think that using a Yahoo mail account (as Rice and Powell did) is any safer than what Hillary was doing? You know, Yahoo, a giant CORPORATION that gets hacked on a daily basis. A for-profit business that hands out golden parachutes had our 'classified' info on their servers, but somehow that is safer than a server very few people knew even existed? Seriously?

[TeddyR]

30. My understanding is that Powell

Used an email account for some limited purpose. Hills exclusively used a private server after being told not to. And neither Powell nor Rice are running for president. AND are you really arguing that Hills should be excused from breaking the rules because some of her predecessors also broke the rules?

[Autumn]

34. This is about her record keeping of federal documents and ignoring guidelines that

were already in place at the State Department was putting in place starting at 2005 to 2011. She ignored those guidelines for storing federal documents.

Now go clap some more somewhere.
