In reply to the discussion: State Dept. Audit Faults Hillary Clinton in Emails [View all]blm

You may be certain that YOU would have handled things perfectly under the same circumstances, but, I doubt you or, even 99% of us would act scrupulously given the history of the communication systems at the State Dept and the immediate needs of those with the needs to move forward despite that system.
Easy to make perfect calls when you're not burdened with the responsibilities, eh? Or when YOU are the one who HASN'T been the target of more detailed scrutiny than your peers or anyone else in recent history, eh?
If Clintons were Republican standard-bearers, none of this would be an issue. IOKIYAR.

That doesn't change the fact that the system she inherited was determined to be a failure, too.

The only troubling part to me was why she and her team didn't cooperate with the investigation.
