Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while at the State Department will not kill anyone, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Friday. But Donald Trump's rhetoric might, the Clinton ally suggested. "She has said she made a mistake, and nobody is going to die as a result of anything that happened on emails," Albright told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day," after the host broached the multifaceted criticism and concerns about Clinton's foreign policy from opponents and supporters alike.

Nobody died from me running a red light. Will that work in front of a judge?
Is this the new legal standard for our laws? Can I skip taxes and apply the Albright rule?
Zatso?
Was the embassy in Benghazi attacked because her emails reveled they had no security? 18 dead in that incident alone.
At this point it does make a difference.
It makes her an accessory to murder most foul.
Shut up and mop the floor, cleaning lady.
Didn’t stop the left from their witch hunt re Valerie Plame.
“Intel assets whose names are leaked have a nasty habit of ending up mysteriously dead.”
Exactly...
We may never know how many have already died.
Nobody cares about the Actual information on the server. The value lies in Sources.
HumInt Sources cooperating with CIA, years and lots of money to recruit and develop were compromised.
We may never know how many in China, NK, Iran, Palestinian Authority were summarily put against the wall and shot because of information found on Hillary’s server.
For another generation, 20-30 years, people are going to think twice before cooperating with the CIA.
EWWW my eyes!
Unbelievable! In a normal world.
Peon vs Palatine.
No comparison.
Her comment is bullshit. People have probably already died because of her emails. Intelligence has noticed critical subjects who have gotten away just prior to actions who seemed to be tipped off and they suspect it was from information leaked by the She Beast on her server.
Mission accomplished.
I read the book Washington Station by a former Soviet intelligence guy who posed as a journalist. One of the biggest coups they pulled off during that time was getting in touch with the workers at a cleaning company who did key government installations such as the Defense Intelligence Agency, CIA and others. They would drive up to a curb late at night and exchange cold hard cash for bags of trash. In some cases, the workers (mostly illegal immigrants) would even bring the trash to them.
According to the author, the Soviet Union finally figured out they were screwed when they discovered defense drawings in the trash with technologies that they were years away from getting.
They pulled out all stops to defeat Reagan for re-election in 1984 and Bush in 1988. They even got help from the DC Press in some cases to coordinate those efforts.
Actually Petraeus didn’t go to jail, but there were consequences for him.
I’m surer Petreaus’ personal diaries didn’t get anyone killed either.
It’s not always about lives lost that we classify information. By releasing the classified information the adversaries learn how we conduct operations and what we are using to collect out information, i.e. sources and methods. Once they understand this they can counter our methods as well as spoof our operations. It allows our adversaries to counter us in less time than it would have normally taken. There’s also the cost involved. We lose our investment in the method if the adversaries are able to counter it without a major investment on their part.
I don’t doubt any of that. If I were running security and were aware of it, I’d have made sure that some fanciful, scary stuff was in the trash bin.
Hillary’s new strategy: I’m a loathsome hag who breaks laws as I see fit but I am not Donald Trump.
Albright is only half bright. And I’m being very generous.
