State Dept. Audit Faults Hillary Clinton in Emails
ABCNews ^ | 5/25/2016 | michael biesecker and bradley klapper

Hillary Clinton disregarded various State Department guidelines for avoiding cybersecurity risks, an internal audit found Wednesday, faulting her and past secretaries of state for weak information management.

The inspector general's 78-page analysis, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to the agency's communications. These started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state, but her failures were singled out as more serious.

Despite guidelines to the contrary and never seeking approval, Clinton used mobile devices to conduct official business on her personal email account and private server. She never sought approval from senior information officers, who would have refused the request because of security risks, the audit said.

This thing with Clinton is ridiculous. She is guilty in so many ways and somehow we are expected to belief that she is not really guilty. When will she go to jail?

It’s a contest about how naughty she can be and still not have her teflon flake off. Well up comes Donald Trump with a wire wheel, game set match.

If Gen. David Petraeus got in trouble for this (having a piece of paper on a night stand) then what of what will they do to Hillary.....I say nothing...they are just reporting this and add “SEVERAL OTHER SOS ALSO” to soften the blow but at least they can say they reported on it because they know...or better yet FEAR Trump will

...and past secretaries of state...

The foundation is being laid for an escape clause, "I didn't do anything that the previous administrations didn't do. This is a partisan witch hunt that is targeted at me because I'm a strong woman!"..................

I will have to read the full IG report. One part is disturbing in that they lump Hillary in with previous SecStates has having not complied with the rules. Yes, it states her violations were more egregious, but I hope this is not some kind of whitewash. Hopefully, it is not an “everybody lies about sex” moment.

Everything and everyone is diminished and degraded by association with the Clintons.

They are the very LAST people who should be anywhere NEAR the WH

What about an audit of State Dept FUNDS? Where did the $6 BILLION go?

Did anyone check under Hildabeast’s pillow? Or perhaps the Clinton Foundation accounts?

If nothing else, this indicates a level of arrogance that is disgusting. Why should the public have to put up with it.

Also-——>

We have a TSA director who punishes whistle blowers.

An IRS director who punishes conservative non-profit organizations.

An EPA director who pollutes, but keeps his job.

A Veterans Affairs director who trivializes the veteran.

Nice job.

She can attempt to use that piss-poor excuse, but it would garner her no greater sympathy than the "I was just following orders." used at Nuremberg. She, as an OCA (Original Classification Authority) MUST know and wrong doing on previous SoS's is no excuse for her to do the same.

Now all we need is someone with the backbone to actually do something about it.

The separation and the placing of guilt has begun. This is not going to swept under the rug and I really don’t care what naysayers are going to say about this.

if Hillary gets indicted, I wonder if Jacques Kerry is thinking about steeping in, and if that happens, I wonder if that makes if more likely to torpedo her.

The point is that Hillary has done something no other SecState or State Department employee has ever done, i.e., set up a private server to conduct official business.

I cringe every time Hillary says she has done what other SecStates have done regarding emails and the MSM never confronts here by saying that no other SecState had a private server. To paraphrase Carville, "It's the server, Stupid."

Hillary Clinton is above the law. She is not bound by the rules and restrictions as all others are And so far she has gotten away with it.

Which is why she will never have my vote for any office.

Biden or even Bernie will prove a more difficult opponent. Better to have Hillary as the Dem nominee. She is the easiest to beat.
