Hillary Clinton Wasn't Adept at Using a Desktop for Email, Inquiry Is Told
NY Times ^ | May 26, 2016 | Eric Lichtblau and Steven Lee Myers

Posted on 05/27/2016 1:15:46 AM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton and her advisers have offered a series of explanations over the last year for her decision to use a private email server as secretary of state, a decision that she said again on Thursday had been "a mistake."

She did not want the inconvenience of carrying two phones, Mrs. Clinton said initially. She did not want a government account that might pull in nonwork matters, she said later. Or perhaps, an adviser has said, she simply did not want Republican lawmakers rifling through her personal emails.

Yet another explanation emerged Thursday: She was not comfortable with using a computer to read email.

For all the gutter street smarts, she’s really just a moron.

They will leave her in the running long enough for Trump to use up all his ammo on her and not have time to focus on the coming enemy. He is wise to begin taking on the potential replacements now: Pocahontas, Biden et al. The dem schemers are waiting to spring some under the radar candidate as a ninth inning pinch hitter IMO.

Back in 2011, when I was still working in Arlington, VA....I bumped into a guy who had a part-time job on weekends. We were chatting and I asked what exactly it was for this other job (he was an IT-techie).

There were people showing up in DC who’d gotten upper-level GS jobs (appointment type jobs), and basically....they knew nothing about Blackberrys, e-mail,, spreadsheets, Word, etc. So, he was a personal trainer for these folks and would provide a one-day orientation with a one-on-one situation. I questioned this, and how a guy could get a upper-level job in DC without any computer or cellphone literacy, and he assured me....he was three or four people each month on his reservation list and he figured at least a hundred people per month were arriving in DC for various jobs and couldn’t grasp emails or handle smart-phones.

So, this story of her ineptness doesn’t surprise me.

Put a seat facing away from her and add a picture of Karl Rove.

She's turning in a small college town college team sports coach that is trying to deny everything despite evidence to the contrary. "I know nothing?" Fried bologna sandwich, as I'm wont to say.

There are DOZENS of pictures that show her MANY DEVICES!!

She also had a large 'staff' of 'aides' to carry as many devices as necessary.

If she couldn’t handle a simple thing like email, how the hell could she handle being the POTUS. She needs to be in the slammer ASAP

Another of her famous sayings was, “I don’t recall” when put in the hot seat.

Only possible explanation is her not wanting to have her e-mail subject to FOIA ( freedom of information Act ) requests in the future ( as required by law!. Someone avoiding the law is BREAKING THE LAW! Hillary is a criminal!

Oh, I dunno. While I agree that this is certainly A reason, I also suspect that, in conjunction with the above, this was done to make classified documents available for other entities to access ("hack"), in exchange for discreet donations to the Clinton Foundation. All plausibly deniable, of course, 'cause we all know how inept Hillary! is with technology.

I have an icon on my desktop that says....email. I double click it and voila! It opens up. It works just like email on any other machine.
This is just the latest BS excuse from the Hillary team.

For Mrs. Clinton, the biggest obstacle to getting past the email controversy is the F.B.I.,which has not yet completed its criminal investigation ...

Butt-kissers at the New York Times used the term "criminal investigation'????

Lordy lordy - hell's freezing over... (or their democrat handlers are feeding them a new meme..)
