Except the “smoking gun” document referred to a non functional secure fax, so the issue wasn’t the location but expediency of transfer to a presumably allowed location via improperly insecure means.
To get from location A to location B, the info had to travel via the unsecured phone system. The unsecured phone system can be considered an "unauthorized location".
I'd disagree.
If someone in the State Dept is sending something (anything) to a .gov address, then there is at least the possibility that the transfer is happening to an allowed location. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But it COULD be.
Hillary's email is a .com.
No way, no how is that an allowed location. The transfer method is insecure AND the destination is not allowed.
The guy at State knew this. Hillary knew this. They are all fully trained.
