I knew Mike from college and can’t believe how badly he has continued to screw things up. He was a smart and respected guy, but man, this is bad. Not sure how Trump keeps him on at this point.
When I was working and the Fed-gov was my customer, it was REALLY important (and beaten into us twice a year) to use ONLY official email, Teams, etc for EVERY communication that involved our customers.
*IF* you used private email or a ‘convenient’ method for sharing files, it was a fire-able offense.
We could only use our work phones and work voice mail. WE never used ANY ‘secure messaging services’ unless we were using an authorized .mil or .gov account.
This sh!t needs to stop. HE needs to go.
I’m a trad wife.
And I don’t use G mail.
What the bleep.
And then bring the hammer down.
In February SecState Clinton was reported to Diplomatic Security and IRM for utilizing an officialo title, e.g., SecState, with a private email address, e.g., HRC22@ClintonMail.com.
The individual who reported this matter was immediately verbally reprimanded by his Ambassador, who said he had never reprimanded someone while not being allowed to know for what it was or one that was verbal. Within in 72 hrs this individual was to report directly to an Embassy in Africa without return to DC or normal assignment processes. That same week the individual and his wife were attacked in the market at noon time in Georgetown Guyana two blocks form the American Embassy Georgetown. Two weeks before his departure from post, he and his wife were again attacked by a man weilding a cricket bat behind their official residence. The Management Officer led the RSO Investigation personally and stated that their was no evidence of an attack, even though it was apparent to all present both indivuals were attacked, and their was blood form the attacker on the rock as reported in the sworn statements. Both the husband and wife were branded liars and hoaxers. The final two weeks at post were followed by the Management Officer refusing to allow the man to be present for any of the alloted four days to outpack his residence, resulting in the loss of thousands of dollars of personal property, again denied by the MO. MO was reprimainded by both IG and EO at State, and his immediate supervisor was fired and removed form post same day first bird smoking when the whistle blower dropped 18-months of harrassment against the supervisor and Management Officer who was USAID. Additionally, the supervisor was removed from the State Department Foreign Service rolls and placed in a USG Civilian Position working at State, and he was barred from ever supervising any employees again as part of the settlement.
Nothing happened to HRC. The employee eventually had enough, and during a Medivac. It was three years before he recieved a Retirment Award for 38 years service to the USG.
A 2019 follow up to Judical Watch resulted in a four hour meeting that led to zero actions. Individual was told to go home and enjoy life... that JD did in fact have all the documentation for a case but the individual might have personal problems so to drop it. JD maintained an active relationship with individual for two months for the purposes of getting help on a VA Claim, but it was actually to guage weather or not the individual had DROPPED THE CASE.
The State Dept had a modem line installed into the Secretary’s 7th floor suite where Huma A-dingdong sat and she hooked up her personal computer via modem to the Clinton Foundation Server and Outlook Email where donars could obtain an email address, and with special instructions from the Foundation, access other Email Accounts using Admin Procedures to gain access to secret or higher information from State, and from the Obama Team meetings.
The fact that IRM and Dip Sec worked with USAID (just another cover position for the agency) to protect Obama Admin who were all using fake aliases from company servers, public providers, etc.
People that circumvent procedures are doing it for personal gain and/or treason.
People who put the globalist agenda ahead of the Constitutional Rights of Americans are criminal elites.
They must dig deeper for those democrat spies
More RAT tantrums. What a bunch of little babies.
Just because the Democrats are hypocrites doesn’t mean we can or should be. IF it’s true (and that’s a bit IF), then he should be fired. Then the hypocrisy of the Democrats is brought into greater relief and the whole issue goes away for the Trump administration (“See how we deal with those who jeopardize national security?! This is what should have happened to Hillary!”) until we bring it up again in a context that is advantageous.
It is who does what that matters. Not the what. A, who in the Political who, can do what and it is ignored. B , who is not in the Political who, can do the same what and it is the unforgivable sin. That is the way the mop flops today.
A is usually a Democrat, or Black. B is usually a Republican, or White.

I can see why people would use private email despite rules against it. Sometimes you want to have a private conversation with an advisor without it winding up in the national archive. The problem is it’s hackable and hence not secure.
Purge the leakers!!!!
2 wrongs do not make a right.
Time for him to be cut loose.
It’s Google/Gmail, something to be wary of, in general. Aside from the bad taste that leaves in my mouth, I have used Gmail since the day when you had to receive an invitation to have an account. It is rich in features and very reliable.
And - IMO - it is for personal email. Not business email, and especially not GOVERNMENT use, even at the local level. Trump, Kash - all the department heads: Orders need to go out immediately. This must stop!
Use approved, secured email for anything related to your position.
This smells like a mole hunt.
Time will tell...
Actually, not to put too fine a point on it, the Democrats turned a blind eye and covered for cankles, when it was discovered during the Benghazi investigation, it was discovered she had covertly set up a computer system in her State Department offices, specifically to bypass government security to transmit classified documents and information.
Quite literally espionage.
That does, however, make her somewhat of an expert on “stupid” stuff . . .
The logic here is that there is nothing wrong with this behavior because Democrats did it too.
Disgusting.
The special election has resulted in the cover of his former House seat by a Republican. So, now he can resign. The Goldberg thing was a huge blunder of the type no one with that kind of assignment should make. This is likewise a very stupid error and the press will run with it for a long time. He should resign.
C’mon, man. Surely y’all are experienced enough to realize that commie trash are not consistent. They do whatever is needed to accomplish their goals, regardless of morals or laws.
This all makes sense when you accept that as the default position.
