of Hillary's INDEFENSIBLE BAD JUDGMENT.
The nonsense argument that "nothing bad happened" is OBSCENE because the members of the Intelligence Community CANNOT TELL US about anything BAD that resulted from the Secretary of State's email being compromised without endangering national security.
If they do know about "assets lost" (that means "people spying on our behalf"
, they can't reveal it. If they do know about missions that went south, again, they can't reveal it.
They can't say whether Russia or China have copies of all of Hillary's emails, or only the ones Guccifer posted when he hacked into Blumenthal's account. We know Blumenthal had stuff he had no business having, and names were named. We know conversations were repeated when only a handful of people were in the room, and the people there increased their chances of figuring out "who was passing information to the Americans" just from emails on Wikileaks.
But we will never KNOW if our people died in our service due to carelessness, because our people won't further risk compromising National Security so they can say "j'accuse!" to the woman whose poor decision making may or may not have played a role in whatever happened -- or didn't.
It is disingenuous to say "nothing happened" when the only people who can confirm that for truth are bound to silence in defense of this country.
We don't KNOW and Team Hillary is counting on them to stay silent for love of country.
So please, STOP with the "no harm done" bullshit. The rules were intended to protect not only this country, but the people who work to defend it.
She broke the rules. Unless you are willing to put your bones and blood on the line, stop pretending increasing their risk doesn't matter.
It's ignorant, and embarrassing, and shames us all.
They matter. She knew better. Their lives matter.
