Why So Serious?

HILLARY CLINTON’S use of a private email server while secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 has been justifiably criticized as an error of judgment. What the new report from the State Department inspector general makes clear is that it also was not a casual oversight. Ms. Clinton had plenty of warnings to use official government communications methods, so as to make sure that her records were properly preserved and to minimize cybersecurity risks. She ignored them.
The 83-page report declares that “beginning in late 2005 and continuing through 2011,” the department revised its Foreign Affairs Manual and “issued various memoranda specifically discussing the obligation to use Department systems in most circumstances and identifying the risks of not doing so.” Ms. Clinton didn’t.
During her tenure, State Department employees were told that they were expected to use approved, secure methods to transmit information that was sensitive but unclassified, or SBU. If they needed to transmit SBU information outside the department’s network, they were told to ask information specialists for help. The report said there is no evidence that Ms. Clinton ever asked, “despite the fact that emails exchanged on her personal account regularly contained information that was marked as SBU.” On June 28, 2011, a cable was sent to all diplomatic and consular posts over her signature warning that personal email accounts could be compromised and officials should “avoid conducting official Department business from your personal e-mail accounts.” At the time, Ms. Clinton was doing exactly that.

Crooked Hillary.
BS! Lots of it was classified, so the behavior was illegal. As for urging the FBI to finish its own investigation soon, so all information about this troubling episode will be before the voters, horse manure. They want it to drag out and hope Hillary is elected so she can pardon herself.
I don’t disagree entirely but the Post is likely tsk-tsking to provide cover for themselves and Hillary both. They can fend off accusations of partisan reporting (”We scolded Hillary!”) and Hillary can deny that she’s had a free ride from the MSM.
Every last miserable SOB at the Bezos Bulletin will be voting Democrat, even the so-called conservatives.
Hillary broke the law.
This directly shows that Hillary lied when she said she acted properly. Lies from the professional lying liar.
“According to the report, after a staff member “raised concerns” with another official about Ms. Clinton’s personal email server, the staff was instructed ‘never to speak of the Secretary’s personal email system again.’”
NEVER speak if it again. Sounds like something out of a Disney movie in which the Evil Queen orders her subjects (or orders one of her subjects to order the rest of her subjects) not to do anything to upset her Royal Majesty.
I’d pick Donald DUCK over this evil b!tch never mind Donald Trump.
Actually...I think Obama has had it with Hillary Clinton, and is setting the wheels in motion to dump her out of the POTUS race!!! Warm up Joe Biden....you will shortly be getting in the game with your new partner......Elizabeth Warren!!!

Hillary Clinton is a lying, thieving, bullying, cheating, dirty little snot.
How many laws did Hillary break today?
And those are her Good qualities!
I was a lot more than just “an error of judgment”.
I like that...The Bezos Bulletin
Well done.
The MSM never gives up on covering for liberals. Hillary euphemistically calls a criminal investigation a ‘security review’ and the Post deflates felony criminal national security violations as nothing but ‘rule’ violations.
One step up from The PennySaver.
Laws are for little people.
Professional liar telling lies professionally.
