State Department email probe slams Hillary Clinton

LOL, I sure hope that Liarry has a very solid relationship with the current President. Because I don't think I can watch the contortionist named Forkush explain his way around much more of this stuff. Forkie, do you ever recall telling one of your parents, "everyone else is doing it"? Do you recall the response?

But first of all, NO BODY ELSE HAD A SERVER IN THEIR HOUSE. None of the previous Secretaries of State, Powell, Rice NONE of them. It is ONLY Liarry who had the outright audacity to try to keep her public records private.

Hopefully, she will lose in California and you can try to spin that one too.

Will she get enough delegates without the Super Delegates? It's not looking good. But here is the thing that I just don't get, perhaps you can 'splain this to me like I'm a 6 year old.......I get it that she's a leftist and you prefer leftists. I get that. What I can't seem to get is why anyone would vote for such a flawed candidate. She lies at the drop of a hat, and is quite capable of lying about her lies! But her resume is completely empty! Where are any accomplishments? For 30 years, we have been cursed with her presence, and there is nothing to recommend her for dog catcher, let alone the Presidency. Simply put, why should I (or anyone else) vote for Liarry?

"A look at some of Clinton's past claims about her unusual email set-up and how they compare with the inspector general's findings:"...In other words how untruthful she was....

Hillary Clinton 'misstates' key facts in E-mail server case.

"According to the findings, she claimed approval she didn't have and declined to be interviewed for the report despite saying "I'm more than ready to talk to anybody anytime." Scrutiny of her unusual email practices appeared to be unwelcome, despite her contention those practices were well known and "fully above board.""

Hey.....it has quotes and everything. Only....I wonder why CBS calls it 'misstating key facts' instead of lying. Can you imagine if the George Washington legacy was that he claimed "I cannot misstate key facts...I chopped down that Cherry Tree"? Just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Dude, every time you write "Liarry" I'm waiting for you to mention Curly and Moe. It doesn't scan and it really is witless. I bet you came up with it yourself.

And the operable phrase is "double standard" as in: "Never mind Reagan's 80 Benghazis in Beruit, because double standard."

We all have double standards; those with integrity tend to have fewer of them. For you, having double standards is like breathing.

No mention of accomplishments, likely because there aren't any.

Trump supporters attacking Hillary on the basis of lying? It doesn't get any better than that.

The man who went on a 12 month media tour with the "black president is an illegal immigrant from Africa" conspiracy will be getting a vote from lvFritz this fall....all in the context of him complaining about "Liarry"

I'm assuming she changed her mind like Trump changed his mind about debating Bernie. Wait, that's not quite right. Trump just lied. On the other hand, when Hillary learned that the investigation was being conducted by GOP Senator Grassley's former aide, I think she, you know, actually changed her mind.

And she probably asked her tech if her server was secure, and he answered, "Yep." I guess Hillary still hasn't gotten around to enrolling in that web security class at her local JC. For shame!

So you're saying the independent State Department Inspector General....a two-time appointee of President Obama....asked by Secretary of State John Kerry to investigate the State Department's records management and e-mail archiving....is in reality a Partisan Republican conspiring to get Hillary. Man, you'd think President Obama and John Kerry would have known that. You Democrats and Republicans with your Conspiracy Theories.

I think it's far more likely that Hillary and her staff did not cooperate with this investigation because they felt it was better to keep their mouths shut and let the IG just suspect they were irresponsible computer illiterates and more interested in convenience than National Security...rather than open their mouths and confirm it...or worse...Maybe we'd find it's also about which e-mails would be preserved for posterity and transparent through the Freedom of Information Act, not just about personal convenience. Now, "don't ever mention that again".

Yes, I suspect Hillary is computer illiterate and relies on tech types when it comes to internet security. Once she completes that internet class at her local JC, I'm sure that will change.

Meanwhile, as long as you don't have a double standard that you apply only to Hillary and not other secretaries of state, then you can leave this thread with your integrity intact.

Some guy named David Petraeus got busted for mishandling classified information and was sacked for it, Hilliary gets nothing for TS codeword?

If this was about Sgt Joe Blow, he would have already been in Leavenworth....

1. Of course Hillary is computer illiterate....but unless she is also completely illiterate, she knew about the State Department guidance, rules and warnings which cautioned about many of her irresponsible practices. It doesn't take a degree in computer science to know that using your non-government issued blackberry in top security areas of the State Department is forbidden....OR setting up a personal server for all of your communications would not be an approved or safe method of communication. Hell my 89 year old father understands that and he never even had a JC Internet Class.

2. Colin Powell did have a personal E-mail account that he used on a State Department Issued Laptop . He also had a Secure State Department machine that he used for all 'Secure Material'. When Powell arrived at State there was no way to communicate with people outside Department Staff. He actually worked with the Technology Staff including the CIO and Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security and had numerous discussions with senior staff about ways to provide all employees with secure Internet connectivity. He wasn't operating a personal server in his house managed by a campaign employee. He was working with the Tech people at state...Not against them.

3. "By Secretary Clinton’s tenure, the Department’s guidance was considerably more detailed and more sophisticated. Beginning in late 2005 and continuing through 2011, the Department revised the FAM and issued various memoranda specifically discussing the obligation to use Department systems in most circumstances and identifying the risks of not doing so. Secretary Clinton’s cybersecurity practices accordingly must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives."

In summary....

A. Clinton used her private server exclusively. Powell used a private e-mail address AND for secured communication used the Department's Secure System.
B. Clinton used her non-government blackberry in areas of the department where that was forbidden. Powell did not.
C. Powell was working with the top staff at the Department of State's technology department to refine the nescient technology deployment and rules. At every step, Hillary and her team kept the State Department technology staff in the dark about their e-mail operation. "Don't ever mention that again"
D. The rules evolved significantly from Colin Powell to Hillary Clinton. In addition to the fact that their operations and actions and technology were not comparable...There really are Two Standards that they must be measured on...The rules in effect during Powell and the rules in effect during Clinton....Secretary Clinton’s cybersecurity practices accordingly must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives.

I'd have to say my integrity is still perfectly intact. Those who are trying to say Hillary's OK because Colin Powell did it too...not so much. Oh and did I mention that Colin Powell cooperated fully with the investigation...as did Condi Rice, Madeline Albright and John Kerry. Everyone but Hillary and those on her team....Because....Republican Conspiracy???
