When the whole server story broke on March 10, 2015, that was one of the first thoughts I had. It was obvious from the get-go her setup was an invitation for hackers and as Guccifer said, it 'was easy'.
She said security wasn’t her responsibility; others in the State Department were in charge of that.
If one just stands back and looks at the whole thing from beginning to end....you are left with only two explanations.
One, that she and the people around her are absolute naive and childish wannabe-executives...who couldn’t even run a PTA association affair in selling cookies without screwing up.
Two, that they planned to dispense the classified data out to paid Foundation members from day one. It may even be that she was stupid enough to fall for some story from Sid, and Sid himself was the one who wanted to sell the insider information (like Kissinger did in the 1980s).
In either case, why would you vote for someone that immature?
As for the connection back to Benghazi...I’m more likely to believe that she just wasn’t told by Sid that security was important and that after the murders occurred....all Sid could do was tell her to shut up and insist it was some stupid ‘other’ reason for the episode to occur. I think without Sid....she could not perform or function. Sid was there to read the script and tell her what to say.
