Hillary Clinton broke the rules: Our view

Of course she did but rules don't apply to the Clinton's!

Hillary Clinton broke the rules: Our view
As secretary of State, she ignored repeated warnings about email security.

Warning No. 1: The report, released last week, reveals that in January 2011, hackers were attacking her private server. Twice, the Hillary and Bill Clinton staffer responsible for maintaining the server had to shut it off to protect data held by America's top diplomat and the former president. The staffer notified State Department officials of the attempted hack, and Clinton’s top aides there emailed each other to say that “sensitive” matters should not be discussed with Clinton over email.

Warning No. 2: Two months later, the assistant secretary for diplomatic security sent a memorandum on cybersecurity threats directly to Clinton, warning of a dramatic increase in efforts "to compromise the private home email accounts of senior department officials" in a likely attempt to "gain access to policy documents and personal information that could enable technical surveillance and possible blackmail.” The memo to Clinton warned her that some personal email accounts had already been compromised and had “been reconfigured … to automatically forward copies of all composed emails” to the hackers.

Warning No. 3: That May, Clinton herself suspected that there might have been another hacking incident when she "received an email with a suspicious link." Hours after her aides discussed the issue over email, Clinton received another email with a suspect link, this time from the personal account of the "under secretary of State for political affairs."

Warning No. 4: A month later, the State Department sent a cable to “all diplomatic and consular posts” about the dangers of unsecured personal email accounts. Staffers were ordered to “avoid conducting official Department business from your personal e-mail accounts.” Who signed that cable? Hillary Clinton.

Those warnings, coming in a span of six months, should have made any responsible public official, even one without Clinton’s access to classified information on cyber threats from the vast U.S. intelligence network, aware of the national security dangers of failing to secure the secretary of State’s email communications.

Instead, Clinton and several of her top aides continued to use personal email for sensitive State Department business thousands of times.

1. Are you gathering hit pieces for Trumps oppo team?

[pinebox]

2. Any concern now means you're helping Trump?

#HillaryLogic in full effect.

Can't talk about the article huh? Shiny squirrel moment?

[Albertoo]

4. Nah. Carry on taking shots at Hillary, it's OK. I guess.

[pinebox]

5. She provides much ammo :)

[Albertoo]

7. And you pick it and reload.. I noticed.

[pinebox]

8. This is what it's about

11. Right On

12. Thank you

14. Thank you. This is our responsibility as citizens.

Those who ask us to shut up are resisting the correct use of citizenship. This is a democracy. It's about process.

10. Geez, are you really that naive?

trump's team has more ammunition against Hillary than you can even imagine already. They won't need any help.

How about actually paying attention to the fatal flaws of the candidate you blindly follow? Instead of just ignoring her many lies and errors, you fall back on the Clinton Rationalization special--everything is just a right wing smear. Your inability to face the disturbing facts about Hillary are doing more to produce a president trump than anything those pointing out her flaws.

3. Bernie for detention club president.

The choice is obvious.

6. You have to LOVE "Warning No. 4"

Warning No. 4: A month later, the State Department sent a cable to “all diplomatic and consular posts” about the dangers of unsecured personal email accounts. Staffers were ordered to “avoid conducting official Department business from your personal e-mail accounts.” Who signed that cable? Hillary Clinton.


Oh man...

9. That is completely damming to her.

There is nothing but that.

13. It's either poor judgment and incompetence or an attempt to hide clandestine operations.

That's all I can come up with.

She should have notified higher authorities within the Obama administration that a serious security problem exists in the State Department email system. That would have been the responsible thing to do. Protecting U.S. security needs should have been foremost in her mind.

UNLESS she wanted to keep the administration from knowing about her private server in order to hide communications from the administration.

Either she does not have the basic judgment to be President or she was using her email system for illegal purposes.

I cannot think of any other explanation.

16. Again, what is the point of this sort of post?

What do you want to happen? Hillary has effectively secured the nomination, that is no longer a viable point of contention.

17. Here is your answer

18. There is no more "Hillary vs. Bernie", the primary is over.

Hillary is not stepping down.
Bernie will not see the superdelegates flock to him.

This is the issue here; when he still had a puncher's chance back in late March, early April or so, I can see the point of these threads. But now, there really...isn't.
