CNN continues to trumpet false narrative WRT the sending of "classified" emails

[TipTok]

78. Honestly....

I think there should have been repercussions.

PVT Snuffy, who works in operations, sends me an e-mail green side that talks about the big mission next week and asks if can make sure that the map files are uploaded...

I know, just by reading it, this is information that should not be on this system and I need to a) report to the security/intel nerds b) have sit down with a written narrative of what happened, why it was wrong and the legal penalties that he could face.

If I ignore it and respond back that I will indeed make sure that the map files for the big mission next week are uploaded then I am equally as guilty and I'm in the same boat and my boss has to have the same conversation with me.

Same thing technically applies at the high levels. If Huma Abedin sends an e-mail talking about a classified issue and Hillary Clinton doesn't stop it there and instead replies then she is also liable. She also personally owns the system so should be responsible for what happens on it even if she isn't in the e-mail chain.

Lots of things are sensitive, some are secret and few are top secret. Obviously at her level the ratios likely varied wildly as she was involved with lots of high level stuff.

I'm bothered by the use of the system in the first place. I'm bothered by the data that was sent across it and I'm bothered by the lack of consequences.

No one is perfect and almost everyone with a clearance has made a mistake in one way or another (e-mails to talking about something you shouldn't in the chow hall) but the whole system and the way it was used was just an open and obvious invitation to compromise.

It looks like it was created to avoid transparency and avoid retention of records that would have taken place on a government system.

In the end, I treat it like I treat the OJ case. I think it should have gone another way but it didn't and I'm moving on with my life.
