OOPSIE! CIA/Pentagon accidently destroy YET ANOTHER incriminating document.

63. I consider myself insufficiently informed to have a meaningful opinion on this.

From what I have read, IIRC, this IT-practice of using non-government-servers was in use since the 90s.
How come there were no complaints about that back then?


Let's assume that all the accusations against Hillary Clinton are true.
Why is nobody calling for investigations into her predecessors who used similar weak standards of IT-security? If it's evil, why only condemn the most recent evil-doer?



That's what I don't get and that's why I don't understand why people make such a fuss about it.
Her server violated all sorts of security-guidelines. Ok. But why the rush to condemn her for using a modus operandi that other people got away with?
Why the double-standard?



I sincerely doubt that a busy career-politician like HRC has the time to care about IT-security. So, who installed the system? Who thought it would be okay in moral terms? Who thought it would be okay on legal terms?

The IT-guy who set up her email-server definitely knew he was doing something fishy when he set up the server. There is no way for a professional IT-guy NOT to know. So, why didn't he mention that then and there? Why didn't he go e.g. to the cyber-crime division of the FBI?

Could it be because: "Eh, who cares. We've always done business that way."
