HILLARY CLINTON’S use of a private email server while secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 has been justifiably criticized as an error of judgment. What the new report from the State Department inspector general makes clear is that it also was not a casual oversight. Ms. Clinton had plenty of warnings to use official government communications methods, so as to make sure that her records were properly preserved and to minimize cybersecurity risks. She ignored them.
The 83-page report declares that “beginning in late 2005 and continuing through 2011,” the department revised its Foreign Affairs Manual and “issued various memoranda specifically discussing the obligation to use Department systems in most circumstances and identifying the risks of not doing so.” Ms. Clinton didn’t.
During her tenure, State Department employees were told that they were expected to use approved, secure methods to transmit information that was sensitive but unclassified, or SBU. If they needed to transmit SBU information outside the department’s network, they were told to ask information specialists for help. The report said there is no evidence that Ms. Clinton ever asked, “despite the fact that emails exchanged on her personal account regularly contained information that was marked as SBU.” On June 28, 2011, a cable was sent to all diplomatic and consular posts over her signature warning that personal email accounts could be compromised and officials should “avoid conducting official Department business from your personal e-mail accounts.” At the time, Ms. Clinton was doing exactly that.

Corrected I hope...
She still hasn’t properly answered why she set up a private server. She has said that it was for her convenience but that in hindsight it was a bad choice, a mistake. I think it was to limit FOIA requests because they might expose how she used her position to extort money for access to her and what she did for them in return using the Clinton Initiative to launder the money. She sells access and God knows what else and has them donate the fee to CGI where she, Bill and Chelsea use it for their own purposes and send a fraction of it to charity while the buyers get access, favors and a tax write off for charitable contributions. What a family of scam artists. That’s why she deleted 30,000 emails about “her daughters wedding...right.
Wapo is getting nervous... covering other contingencies. Frankly I thing the McAuliffe investigation and the move to dump the DNC chair are early signs that Obama has decided... Hillary is going down. An indictment is coming. Obama is boiling the frog slowly... telegraphic it. Because she has to fall the right way.
“She still hasn’t properly answered why she set up a private server. She has said that it was for her convenience but that in hindsight it was a bad choice, a mistake.”
Even that doesn’t wash. Anybody who has maintained a server knows it’s a pain in the @ss. ‘Convenience’ has nothing to do with it.
Hillaryous Rotten Criminal and rules? What are you smoking? Many criminals never stop until they are incarcerated or eliminated.
The greatest crime couple in the history of America WILL NOT STOP.
Fortunately, the comments to the WaPo editorial indicate a considerable number of readers that are wise to Hillary’s coverup crimes. (Regrettably, there are also still a smaller number of Hillary trolls who evidently still see no Hillary evil...)
So what?
She obviously just doesn’t give a sh*t for rules, either those of the United States or anyone else.
Rules are for the Little People.
Yep - and she had to sign documents indicating she was aware and could be prosecuted "up to death" if she violated the rules.
President cannot pardon self. Had it been so, Nixon would have done it. One important thing here and why she has to be gotten out before she might win the election, a president cannot be indicted. Only way to remove is by impeachment. They wrestled with all this during Nixon’s time.
