... this appears to be something that is being lost in all of this. How the hell was she even able to communicate with other government officials when her server/system didn’t have the proper security protocols set up in the first place.
That is what I was getting at, too.
Maybe the word should be 'access' rather than 'connection'. How did she access the State Department systems (apparently the non-classified and classified are 2 different systems), and how did they access her server?
They (newsies/politicians/commentators) are trying to explain all of this in simple terms. However, it seems to need an extensively complicated set-up for 'access'.
I posted in numerous similar threads over the years that these were not simple browser emails most of us use. Somehow, classified info made it from HER server to the State Department and from the State Department to HER server. We know that because of Gawker and similar hackers.
That raises another question: If she didn't even know how to use a desktop pc, why would she even have a cursory knowledge about what kind of system would be needed at home? Per her own statement a week or so ago, she was more concerned about external 'access' to HER private emails than she was to the classified info in official government emails. What was so important in her PRIVATE emails? It surely wasn't just the recipe for Chelsea's wedding cake.
nadvertently, the email scandal is about the Right to Privacy, whether by an individual or his representatives in government. In America, the government is governed by its people. From a privacy point of view, is Hellary counting herself as a private citizen as well as a servant of ours? Whatever the case, William Safire summed up Hellary best, “congenital liar”. Don’t bother parsing her sentences, the truth is an alien to her.
