DONNA BRAZILE: I want to learn what is behind all of this because more emails are coming. This is just the first of probably many thousands of emails. They went in and stole the entire email databank of the staff.

First rule of emails: Never commit anything to electronic media that you would not want someone to see: Your wife, your boss, your child, an FBI prosecutor....

[Bullish]

They’re not smart enough to even know the first rule of email.

So funny

[henkster]

Never write anything you don’t want read by your mother or a jury.

From the Howie Carr Show:

"Never write if you can speak; never speak if you can nod; never nod if you can wink."

...attributed to Massachusetts political boss Martin Lomasney, is used when a politician damages his own career with notorious disclosures.

Never commit anything to electronic media that you would not want someone to see: Your wife, your boss, your child, an FBI prosecutor....

It always amazes me how many people do not understand that.

I found it hilarious that they were all responding with their iPads and Samsung Galaxy S4’s..geez for Commies they sure love using electronics made by Capitalists

True that! Anything put into the election realm is going to float around indefinitely and if it is dangerous to you, will come back to bite you.

“First rule of emails: Never commit anything to electronic media that you would not want someone to see: Your wife, your boss, your child, an FBI prosecutor.... “

Indeed. Myself and Mrs. Catnipman were discussing this very issue this evening. As one of he early Internet builders and users, myself and everyone else involved knew and applied this rule even before the Internet was publicly available. Mrs. Catnipman understood the rule because of her work with law firms.

She had a hard time understanding that the youthful masters of the universe are both arrogant AND ignorant AND completely lack common sense and have no concept that others who have come before them know important things that they could learn if they only didn’t think they already knew everything that there was to know, which is WHY these fools are completely clueless about the most basic rule of email ever invented.

That sounds a lot like my "Wiener Rule" which I've tried to follow for the past few decades: "Never write or record anything which you wouldn't want your worst enemy to get ahold of."

Never write when you can speak;
Never speak when you can nod;
Never nod when you can wink

Which is why Bill Clinton doesn’t do emails (he doesn’t want all his other girlfriends to know)

[mware]

This hack occurred in May I believe. Before FBI announced their findings on Hillary. I suspect there are emails about the investigation and them knowing the results before he announced it.
