Most people in normal IT and media are not fully privy to the requirements of NSA or other 3 letter agency “secure” communications for transmission of TS and above that say a Secretary of State might need to do his/her job.

This isn’t just encryption schemes between servers and/or end users - it is a comprehensive and rigorous process that necessitates separation of secure and nonsecure traffic from end to end, and complete physical layer encryption from end-to-end/

In other words, to just say her email/server setup was ‘secure’ is most likely bullshit, further complicated by the fact there were many email accounts on her server. And to say or imply that all this could have comingled secure and unsecure person traffic is patently ludicrous. Her ‘setup’ did not have, nor could have that capability, frankly.

It might even be disqualifying.

Who determines that, anyone? For 'Rats, if the voters vote for them, then they are qualified. Homicide? Need not matter (as it didn't here in MA for Dead Kennedy).

To put what she did in perspective imagine the following scenario in WWII:

1. Admiral Nimitz radios battle instructions to his Navy before the battle of Midway Island.
2. Although he had encryption he sent the battle plans out over the radio without encryption.
3. The Japanese defeated us at Midway because they knew our battle plans.

The above scenario is no different than what Hillary Clinton did as Secretary of State. Her server was vulnerable. Her server would be one of the number one targets for Russia, Korea, Iran etc. They have some of the best hackers. Without the very best of protection, which she did not have, there is no doubt her server was hacked. In effect her actions have given aid and comfort to our enemies.

Nimitz would have been court martialed, convicted and hung.

Her office said the system used “robust protections” and “additional upgrades and techniques employed over time as they became available.”

Who performed the upgrades and monitored the server?
Do they have the required security clearances??

The Classified networks that the State Department uses: SIPRNet and JWICS aren’t even physically connected to the internet, so email on those systems cannot be sent to a private email server. She could certainly discuss classified or sensitive information in email and likely did so, but she is probably at least technically correct when she claims to have never sent “classified documents”

That is understood. My point is that for anyone to believe that saying “secure communications” with respect to her situation is bullsh!t.

IF she conducted State Department business and related communications over her setup, some of which was more than likely classified to some level, she was violating the law with respect to unauthorized disclosure/release.

The very minimum for stuff like this is 5 years and $500K IIRC.

As the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton dealt with our countries most classified top secret diplomatic communications on a daily basis.

The information she communicated on unsecured, personal email servers in direct violation of State Department laws governing the handling of secret diplomatic information was no less sensitive or damaging than someone exposing nuclear weapon or ICBM secrets

In fact, to demonstrate just how ridiculous Clinton’s statements are , as well as the settlements of her propaganda surrogates in the medias, in every comment where they are excusing her mishandling of top secret diplomatic information, replace the word emails with top secret nuclear weapons/ICBM information to realize how inane the excuse are.

Hillary hasn’t told the truth in 60+++ years.

WHY should anyone believe her now? Why should I trust a women who’s ‘best friend’ is a Muslim woman???

Think about all the skullduggery she & Bill have wrought over the years. Ask Jennifer Flowers what kind of person Hillary is.

“Nimitz would have been court martialed, convicted and hung. “

If he was a democrat he could have won the nomination in 44.

Bingo, she knowingly violated the rules and put the security interests of the US at risk, all for her personal ambitions.

One has to wonder if her email server was backed up or archived regularly. Is it not standard practice to backup crucial hard drives every now and then ? Why do we not even know who was the IT tech providing support for the server ?

Who really knows? Likely she had some trusted ghoul work all that our for her but I highly doubt anyone of that caliber had the credentials and authorization and wherewithal to implement a fully NSA-level secure system. At best, it might have been ‘commercially secure’ but that doesn’t mean much really beyond the key/number level of normal encryption, unless she went for the iPhone 6 stuff that the NSA is so pissed off about.

Backups? Who the heck knows? I’m betting NSA has it all, as well as the Chinese and Russians. Obama needs to cut loose of her very quick and throw her to the hounds and be done with it.

If she ever told the truth it would kill her.

The problem is she was basically Obamas right hand man. Doing all his dirty work internationally. She can take him down if she wants. So the attacks on her will probably back off next week. They want her damaged enough to get a hard core progressive in the race who will continue the transformation of America as we know it. Hillary could care less about America. She is just in it for herself.

I see you've noticed the critical question that is not being asked.

1) Who exactly was operating the server in question? It sure as hell wasn't Hill or Bill.

2) Where are the backups? They exist. I guarantee it. This email server was essentially operating as the departmental server for the privileged few who are above the law. Do you really think the server was being run in such a slipshod manner that a hard disk crash would have destroyed all the schemes they were working on at the time?  Ha!

Fortunately for the Clintons, they are being carefully protected by the powers that be to make sure that these questions won't even be asked. That's why the initial reports were that it was being run out of her house. This is patently absurd on several levels. It was done to make it appear to the unwashed that it was a shoestring affair so you wouldn't be surprised if information went missing.

“I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email,” Clinton averred at a brief press conference on Tuesday.

It looks like she was reading from notes when she made the above statement and it was interesting that she carefully confined her assertion to "sending" email and not to "receiving" email with classified information. As with her husband, all words used or not used are important.
