96. My very specific challenge is related to the excuse about convenience.

Wed Mar 11, 2015, 02:52 PM

Mar 2015

And there's more than one way for it to be challenged.

First, you're SOS and you have aides available at all times to carry your devices.

But even if you don't and insist on carrying them your self, how hard is it really to carry two? I mean really. You're secretary of state.

Third, the technology existed with devices, maybe not her preferred device, but it existed, to manage multiple emails on one device.

That thirds claim is the one being made with the OP.

The technology existed at the time for multiple emails to be used on a single device.

And, apparently, HRC chose instead to go through the effort to create a unique domain, host it on a private residence computer out of reach of her employer, to do work related to her employment.

The excuse about convenience is remarkably weak, to be kind, and more of a deflection in all likelihood from the real reasons she did this.

No. Hillary Rodham Clinton is behind this story, she's the "decider" who decided to do this. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #141

No, it is Kristol and the rightwing, and they are VERY Well represented here at DU NoJusticeNoPeace Mar 2015 #142

What whopper? The OP is wrong on tech aspects. JaneyVee Mar 2015 #23

Not wrong on tech aspects. My pre-2012 Blackberries had multiple email accounts. leveymg Mar 2015 #46

So did the pre 2010 iPhone B2G Mar 2015 #51

So you agree that the OP is essentially correct? leveymg Mar 2015 #60

Yeah I do. B2G Mar 2015 #64

Your reasoning makes sense. Please share that. leveymg Mar 2015 #69

I don't think a gov issued device would be considered to be 'remote access' B2G Mar 2015 #74

I don't find that hard to believe. tammywammy Mar 2015 #130

Wrong. My 2007 iPhone had multiple email accounts. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #99

Totally wrong. The Op has no idea what the clintonmail.com server was eally for. leftofcool Mar 2015 #107

Do you? Capt. Obvious Mar 2015 #112

I have my own e-mail server. So did Colin Powell. Atman Mar 2015 #5

Powell also violated the 1950 Federal Records Act. You didn't, unless you head a federal agency. leveymg Mar 2015 #26

Acc to this, Colin Powell had his private email along with his .gov email for business RiverLover Mar 2015 #48

I had read that. I'm referring to the 2007 disclosure that the Bush Admin had erased en mass its leveymg Mar 2015 #62

I have no idea. RiverLover Mar 2015 #71

How long has email been in existence? Atman Mar 2015 #111

iphone didn't allow multiple accounts until 2010. JaneyVee Mar 2015 #7

Just bookmark them on the Internet.... Real easy 4139 Mar 2015 #10

Bookmark what? They need network security. JaneyVee Mar 2015 #21

And the OP's screen shot was from 2011, not 2009. pnwmom Mar 2015 #12

And Blackberry didn't do it until 2013. JaneyVee Mar 2015 #17

And by then she already had her system in place and Obama obviously didn't care. nt pnwmom Mar 2015 #20

Yup, the only option she had was her own server. JaneyVee Mar 2015 #25

My three phones before 2012 were Blackberries, and they all allowed multiple email accounts. leveymg Mar 2015 #29

It wasn't until 2013... JaneyVee Mar 2015 #38

Don't spread disinfo. I had Blackberries with multiple email during that period. leveymg Mar 2015 #50

Blackberry Balance introduced January 30th 2013 JaneyVee Mar 2015 #56

That's MDM and containerization--a very different thing than permitting multiple email accounts. nt DisgustipatedinCA Mar 2015 #57

They would need network security which wasn't available JaneyVee Mar 2015 #61

HRC said she didn't use her phone for classified info, so pre-'13 SIPRNET access doesn't factor in. leveymg Mar 2015 #66

Not securely though. Also, she stated she opted for convenience. JaneyVee Mar 2015 #72

She's kind of screwed either way: Either she could and didn't, or couldn't and was snooty. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #145

I believe you could have multiple email accounts prior to 2010 B2G Mar 2015 #45

Not so. IOS 3 came out in June '09, and it permitted multiple accounts. DisgustipatedinCA Mar 2015 #77

That doesn't mean she was using the latest Iphone uponit7771 Mar 2015 #78

Possibly. But it definitively disproves the claim that iphone couldn't do multiple accts before '10 DisgustipatedinCA Mar 2015 #81

No one is saying it couldn't do multiple acts, overt strawman noted uponit7771 Mar 2015 #83

How much money are you ready to put on your claim, sport-o? DisgustipatedinCA Mar 2015 #90

2,000.00 for either claim... I have PP and someone can hold the money. I love it when overt uponit7771 Mar 2015 #93
