Two points. Would there be criminal charges if this was anybody other than Hillary Clinton? I think the answer is certainly yes. If I, as a civilian working on a military contract can be charged for simply sending a photograph of a system used by the US Navy, but sold commercially by Brittish Aerospace, then it is likely that almost anything that Secretary Clinton sent would be more interesting to foreign intelligence. It’s hard to imagine that much she dealt with was unclassified.
The second thing is, does Clinton even realize that almost everything she heard and dealt with was classified? I think she either didn’t or didn’t care one way or the other. Using an unsecured email system for any communications was criminal, even if she just did it because she’s stupid, rather than because she was soliciting bribes, which I think is the more likely reason.
She decided the bribes were more important than national security. Given the recent breeches...my God, the OPM was using a Chinese firm to do their computer maintenance, maybe security isn’t a priority at all and no charges should be filed...until a Republican or a civilian contractor sends out a photo that violates ITAR.
But, but....Hillary said the server was secure because there are Secret Service agents guarding her house.
That statement by Hillary shows just how ignorant she is about how computer networks operate, and does not understand how hackers could get into her system. Her thinking that the server being physically located in a place with guards means that it could not be hacked shows her lack of knowledge.
