Breaking news story here and a potential presidential bid killer.

Once again the liberal media is silent on the subject!

I'm glad you no longer count huffingtonpost or the nytimes as part of the liberal media.

Saw the reporter who wrote this on Morning Joe(Joe's such a blowhard).

Some interesting facts.
1.) Kerry was the first Secretary of State to have a government email.
2.) Both Colin Powell nor Condoleezza Rice used government emails. He said Colin Powell used a personal one and Rice didn't have email (which I find hard to believe).
3.) I think she was wrong but also think that this story is overblown giving that the previous Sec. of States didn't use government emails.

There is a difference between not using emails period and not using a government approved email system. Which was it?

Way to shoot yourself in the foot Hillary!

Yeah, that doesn't look good at all, and will be red meat for her opponents in the coming election maelstrom.

I expect the GOP to pump this like there's no tomorrow, they want out of the blender and this looks to be the best shot they have at the moment. The Secretary of State having the nerve to so blatantly ignore Federal Law regarding email still pales in comparison to say, the GOP holding Homeland Defense funding hostage while proclaiming the president too be soft on defense (sometimes with the "he doesn't love America") because he isn't "getting serious" in attacking ISIS.

I hope this may contribute to a better candidate getting the nod, but in the grand scheme of things I'm grudgingly admitting it might not have feet for long.

Transparency we can believe in. /s

This is one of the things that Obama promised and that I was actually looking forward to from his administration.

She could have had a hard drive crash.
And then the IT hard drive could have crashed.
And then the backup server hard drive could have crashed.
And then the backup server's backup hard drive could have crashed.


This administration is, always has been and always will be corrupt.

By most objective standards Obama's administration is actually one of the least corrupt in history. Gotta get outside of the media bubble.

Come on . It wasn't intentional, it was just an oversight.

:D

The email records could still be subpoenaed. And this is more likely to be used with effect against her by a democratic challenger for the nomination than in the general election by a Republican, should she even get the nod by her party.

In the case of Powell and Rice email was just being accepted as part of everyday communication so I would give both of them a pass.

Rules were more explicitly defined by the time we got to Clinton

I don't blame her. Who wants congress nitpicking your emails? Better to keep them private ;)

Actually she better hope she's in tight with Obama as she thinks. "It would be a shame if the NSA accidentally leaked the emails from your private SecState account to the media."

In 2005-2009 email was not just being accepted as a part of everyday communication. It's every bit as much bullshit if/when Rice did it.

I think that would be a PR disaster for the NSA. They are trying all they can to never be spoken of again. They want to be out of the public consciousness. If I were her, I'd be a bit worried about my own aids leaking that stuff.

Rumor has it that Hillary will announce her candidacy next month. Another month to release more dirt. It's all meaningless anyway. The public is too stupid to pay attention and will vote for her no matter what. Hell, in a recent street survey, when told that Obama was endorsing an "economic adviser to the Obama administration for many years" Karl Marx for president, the majority of respondents were all for it.

Reminds me of how the Bush Whitehouse used RNC servers for email...

I'm pretty sure that's when we the people determined that it was wrong. Thank you for your candor. Maybe the acceptance that the Obama administration more closely resembles the evil Bush regime every day will bring the american electorate closer together. Perhaps in this upcoming election we won't be voting for the least obvious crappy evil candidate.

Let it be known that real progress was made in this thread.

Somehow as an intelligent person my logic tells me that the State department does have an actual Policy on communicating electronically. There is the issue of not using an open and freely accessible E-Mail program to discuss state secrets.

Of course Hillary could just be too stupid and never uses E-Mail. Maybe she is scared of technology???

It is also common it seems for politicians to stay away from this type of communication and just let the aids take care of it.

You are a moron. None of your posts are informed. Your ignorance is actually amazing. Its level knows no bounds.

It was only two months ago, in response to a new State Department effort to comply with federal record-keeping practices, that Mrs. Clinton’s advisers reviewed tens of thousands of pages of her personal emails and decided which ones to turn over to the State Department. All told, 55,000 pages of emails were given to the department.

Just exactly what "objective standards" are you talking about? Please elaborate.

The objective standard is that there has been no proof of corruption because they destroy the evidence. Eric Holder even investigated but found no wrong doing. See, no corruption!
