45. Hillary Clinton hired the IT guy

Thu Jul 7, 2016, 05:39 PM

Jul 2016

The IT guy was a political apointee, something that is unusual for that for that position. The IT guy had worked with Clinton on her presidential campaign.

If the state department IT staff led her astray, I wouldn't place that blame on Clinton, but for some reason she went out of her way to avoid using the IT department of the State Department, and instead used somebody she hired. If she had no clue what she is doing, she shouldn't avoid using people who do know what they are doing.
