If we were still a nation under the rule of law. We're not.

Justin Cooper, who helped set up Hillary Clinton’s private home email system, testified Tuesday before the House Oversight Committee and admitted that he had no national security clearance during the time he had access to all of Hillary Clinton’s emails while she was Secretary of State.
Cooper, who was a former aide to President Bill Clinton, said “I did not have a security clearance” while setting up and servicing Hillary Clinton’s private email server, laptops, and mobile devices.
Cooper’s confession came during day two of the Rep. Jason Chaffetz-led Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. Chaffetz issued a subpoena to top FBI official Jason Herring on Monday for every document related to the bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.
During Tuesday’s hearing, two employees of Colorado tech company Platte River Networks — the firm that maintained Clinton’s private home server — repeatedly invoked their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
“Who told you to delete the emails?” Rep. Chaffetz asked Paul Combetta of Platte River Networks about Clinton's email server.
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer and assert my Fifth Amendment privilege,” Combetta said. Combetta was reportedly granted immunity by the Department of Justice during its investigation of Clinton’s mishandling of classified emails while at State.

And that alone should be enough to 1) Put her in jail, 2) Strip her security clearance forever, and 3) Disqualify here for the job of Commander in Chief. Seriously
HELLO!!!! He had access to ALL TOP SECRET e-mails!!! He SHOULD be in DEEP TROUBLE....HIllairay too!!
Setting up the server isn’t breaking any laws and maintaining a server isn’t breaking any laws. There’s issues when the server becomes classified and then the IT folks continue to maintain the server if they don’t have a clearance but only if they are aware of classified information is on it.
In reality, working around the Secretary of State everyone should be cleared to a minimum of Secret. That should be part of the job description.
Bottom line here is CLINTON and the current US Government.. no one can break the law if they believe they’re above the law and we’re seeing this more and more in government. Laws don’t pertain to them.
Hmmm...we may be looking at Prime Fall-guy Candidate #1.
Hope his insurance is paid up.
I hope that this Justin Cooper has his will and life insurance up to date.
If we were still a nation under the rule of law. We're not.
I posted before reading your post. We think alike.
She had secure info on an unsecure server, no one should get near it unless they had an appropriate clearance.
My understanding was that she never had any .gov accounts set up for SIPRNET or other secure platforms, anybody out there know anything about that?
LOL
Mainstream Media:
Republican politician? “WATERGATE 2016!!” “CORRUPTION!” “ENTIRE NATION’S SECURITY AT RISK!!1!!”
Democrat politician? “Meh...”
Understatement is mild.... It is felonious
“Hmmm...we may be looking at Prime Fall-guy Candidate #1.”
No. The fault goes to the people who moved the classified information from the classified systems to the unclassified system and transmitted it to Hillary. And the person who told them to do it, which was almost certainly Hillary.
I’m a former investigator for the DOD.
This is a MAJOR violation and would, at the very least, result in an investigation and the immediate suspension or revocation of the security clearance of the individual who allowed an uncleared person to have access to this information.
Additionally, any private company that stores DOD classified information must be cleared. That is, all the operating officers and any employee who has access to this information must pass a background investigation before being granted access.
None of this was done in the above matter.
Privilege?..................
It would not even qualify her of having a job in many companies that do government contract work.
I worked 30 years in a classified environment (S/TS/SCI). All of the sysadmins I dealt with had to have the appropriate clearances for any network with classified information they worked on. Some sysadmins didn’t have sufficient clearance for some systems, and they did not work on those. When we were short staff for sysadmins for a period of several years on a particular program, I was the backup sysadmin for those systems.
Those are just rules and laws for the Little People, you know, the DEPLORABLES..................
The computer geek without a proper clearance was just doing his job, but the person, or persons, who gave him access to Top Secret information broke the law. However, no reasonable (Democrat) prosecutor would bring charges against a fellow Democrat./Sarc.
Improper? No, it's a MULTIPLE FELONY for Clinton and everyome involved!
BTW, did this guy EVER have a Security Clearance? After all, he was an aide to Bill Clinton as POTUS.
