See, I see no wiggle room in this as to “evolution” or “should(s)”.
She not only took on duties giving her access to top secret and beyond top secret material, she treated it like it was used dogfood. If you read 18 USC she has an absolute duty to maintain the security of this material or to report any breach of same immediately. The two are perfectly equivalent. Maintain secrecy and report any suspected breach at once. Period, end of subject. She did neither. There is no “by accident” or “inadvertent” in the black letter of the law.
You know, this is not an astronomical inhuman-grade standard of behavior. I was an ordinary realtor, and the duty to disclose defects in a property being offered is total. Even maybes, even suspicions. I took that stuff very seriously. Obviously, this is far beyond that, but to treat these materials in a deliberate diversion of 100% of her communs to a private server is nothing if not a deliberate act. I don’t see how it can be construed otherwise. The whole structure of setting up the alternate server can’t be an accident.
Over and above that, she apparently signed a special agreement with the 0bama admin as to her activities with the Clinton foundation which she was supposed to cease. So when she communicates with Sidney Blumenthal in any way, she is either thereby compromising state secrets or she is in violation of her agreement with the administration.
I just see no room for equivocation or excuse or alternate constructs of the clear reality.
I agree with you, really!
I was attempting to FURTHER show how Hillary Clinton was inept, incompetent and derelict in her duty as SoS by NOT implementing HIGHER standards for email communication standards than that which she (in her current vernacular) ‘perceived’ to be ?allowed?.
I understand the standards that you as a Realtor are/were held to (not directly, fiance). I, as a General Motors supervisor also had standards (many; MVSS, company confidence, production, union negotiation etc).
Please understand that I am NOT attempting to condone, lessen or equivocate anything that she did...
I’m trying to expand upon what she DIDN’T do and should have done in her capacity as being the Secretary of State concerning email communication!
A standard which anyone in a position of authority/leadership is by nature of the position, presumed to understand and attempt if not accomplish.
(and which will probably not be talked about by the talking head/print media, but this being FreeRepublic is now on Google)
I think that we are in agreement?
