2. Yes. Ironic. Her private server

Jul 2015

appears to have been more secure than the government's system. And yet, she is deemed culpable, even though none of what was there was publicly revealed until it was demanded by Congress.

The celebration over the leaked cables was remarkable. Even more remarkable are the attacks on Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that nothing sensitive was leaked from her server.

The irony is significant, I think, in view of the current Presidential primary race. I suppose that if Julian Assange were a US Citizen and ran for President, he'd be quite popular right now. Or maybe Glenn Greenwald would be a better choice of candidate. He is a US Citizen, I believe.

Uff da! It is, indeed, crazy season.
