As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton never used a password to protect her computer emails, and she was clueless about how regular emails work on a conventional computer, according to a deposition of a foreign service officer at the State Department.
------------------------------------------------
In a two-hour deposition with the conservative legal watchdog group Judicial Watch last week, Lewis Lukens also said he offered to set up a stand-alone computer for Clinton to check her personal email account, only to be told that she does not know how to use a computer to do email.
------------------------------------------------
The crux of the issue was that BlackBerrys and iPhones are not allowed in the secretarys office suite, so the question was: How is the secretary going to be able to check her e-mails if shes not able to have the BlackBerry at her desk with her?
Hillary Clinton was so attached to her BlackBerry as secretary of state that she was sometimes spotted in the hallway outside her highly secure office using the device, according to a State Department official.
------------------------------------------------
Summary: Clinton circumvented the secure offices at the State Department so she could check her private, unsecured emails on a non-secure, over-the-counter Blackberry. A staffer at Foggy Bottom was asked to install a stand-alone PC so his boss could access personal email with family and friends (or so he was told.) It turns out the email account was actually used for all of the Secretarys business, including classified communications. But, that plan didnt work because Hillary Rodham Clinton doesnt know how to use a computer.

I call BS. Have an IT guy setup an icon to double-click on and email is up. Same as with a blackberry, with very minor exceptions.
She sent over 50,000 emails while at state in 4 years, I think that qualifies as ‘understanding email’.
This is just another lie.
I’m surprised she didn’t order an aide to print out all of her emails so she could read them, and then have them burnt afterward, thinking that would destroy the evidence...
Can’t drive a car, can’t operate a simple computer. But boy howdy, can she ever run the country!!
Hmmm,
The ugly beast is:
1. Unable to pass the bar.
2. Unable to tell the truth.
3. Unable to produce anything useful as a senator.
4. Unable to produce anything useful as Secretary of State.
5. Unable to produce Whitewater documents.
6. Unable to produce emails.
7. Unable to get or hold a job on her own without marriage.
7. Unable to hold a man...even a cheap-assed grifting woman abuser like bubba.
Face it...the b*tch is worthless.
The things that you and I would go to prison for is the equivalent of a slap on the wrist for Hillary.
She would never have allowed her State Department underlings to do what she did.
Then again, for good reason Hillary is the Leona Helmsley of politics.
Rules are for the Little People, stupid.
How much of this is incompetence and how much is deviousness?
For people old enough to remember Whitewater, all of this sounds remarkably familiar.
Let’s say that you are a traitor to your country and you are in a high government position where you have a lot of people looking at you.....say, Secretary of State.
How do you get the secrets to the enemy?
Go somewhere and hand them off?
Hillary doesn’t drive. That means a driver and that means a witness.
A telephone or fax?
Too direct and easily monitored.
Leave the info on a table at a restaurant?
Can’t be sure who will get it and how long it would be there.
Put it on your computer that has no security coding and then claim you are stupid?
Bingo.
Easy peasy.
Believe me, what she was hiding is even worse than her federal crime regarding her email use.
Just saw this - in the comments, some are pooh-pooing that this is a problem, others are saying it is:
Did the Clinton Email Server Have an Internet-Based Printer?

I’m not ‘sophisticated’ computer-wise to know one way or the other, but my gut reaction is it doesn’t sound like a good idea to me if you’re dealing in classified info.
Or for any violation. I know that from personal experience. When the IRS contacted me about not filing tax returns, I told them it was because I didn't know how to operate a pencil. They didn't buy it.
The spooks use an acronym to list the reasons why people betray their country.
It’s MICE.
Money
Ideology
Can’t remember the other two.
Hillary has all of them, though.
-—The hildebeast could learn computer use if she wished, but that type of menial task is so beneath her station it is only for flunkies and functionaries.——
Exactly, since leaving the WH she has lead a life of privilege...entitled. Expects everything to be done for her...
Plus, how can she sell our most sensitive secrets to the highest bidder on a government computer...?
She is smart enough to brilliantly feign stupidity.
And remember how much mileage the State Run Media got out of GHW Bush not being familiar with a supermarket price scanner.
How much time will they spend roasting her? (((crickets)))
money, ideology, compromise, ego
“she was a National Merit Scholar in high school”
Hillary checked out from the day to day real world many years ago. She became a queen for Huma to wait on. I am not remotely surprised that she is PC illiterate. That’s why she hung on to her Blackberry; she finally got comfortable with it and didn’t want the go through the grief(at least for her) of learning a new device. We all deal with that to a degree even changing cell phones.
my 83 year old ‘stay at home & bake cookies’ Mother uses her laptop with passwords and all :)
And the sad news is there are millions of Americans as dumb as she is, ready to pull the lever for her in November.
I would not be at all surprised to have Cankles around with us another decade.
Let’s face it: a liar and grifter is going to clinch the nomination of one of our two major parties very soon.
It does not look good for America.
