In 2005-2009 email was not just being accepted as a part of everyday communication.

That's odd, in 2001 I had a government email account and by 2005 I was using it for all correspondence that didn't require signatures. By 2013, as a reservist I was expected to read my email on a biweekly basis, by 2014 my email would shut down if it wasn't used making it literally impossible to do official business without prostrating myself before someone who would shame me for having the gall to not pay an inordinate amount of time to the good idea fairy and her insipid reply all emails.

Exactly my point.

Breaking news story here and a potential presidential bid killer.

Once again the liberal media is silent on the subject!

This is not going to be a presidential killer. You would like that wouldn't you?

The truth is the media will put this under the rug and the American public will forget about it. Most Americans (99%) could care less about crap like this.

We want to know what the upcoming president plans to do about the economy, etc...

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.

lol.

We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing. Case closed.

Holder was on his way out the door before he finally asked his people if there was anyone we could prosecute regarding 2007/2008. He was kept ultra busy during his tenure by all of the flagrant civil rights abuses. So busy that he couldn't justify public spying or executions without trials.

We should probably excuse his inability to find any corruption in the administration, he was busy rooting out corruption... somewhere else.

So you're telling me that the Secretary of State either didn't read any classified email for her tenure, in which case she wasn't doing her job, or she was having classified material sent over unsecure networks to unsecure devices.

I've always liked Hillary due to her hawkish nature, and I can appreciate this move for it's sheer shrewdness. Her own advisors were the ones who got to decide what emails were and weren't relevant to the government. Smart.

How many years in a federal "pound me in the ass" penitentiary would I get if I hosted "knowingemail.com" through "perfect privacy llc" and accidentally leaked emails with
titles like “Comprehensive Intel Report on Libya,” and included all-cap warnings that, “THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION COMES FROM EXTREMELY SENSITIVE SOURCES AND SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CARE.”
to a Romanian hacker because my OPSEC was shit and my my server wasn't validated for Department of State official business?

10 years? 20? How long after that would the FBI by all up in my business? I'm just curious because equality under the law used to be a pretty big deal.

I wonder if any of this will make it to the evening news.

I'm wondering how much longer this will go on before the left and their lapdog media start bemoaning the witch hunt being perpetrated against Hillary? That's a tough gig. You've got to actually talk about it to make her appear to be a victim.

Regardless, it appears the gloves are being removed slowly on her highness. Will she reach a point where she decides it might be best to slink away and count the enormous amount of money at her disposal at the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation and make it all go away? Lord knows her past is vastly checkered.

Good to see the right adopting Alinsky tactics. It's high past time that fire was fought with fire.

Apparantly Clinton's spending twenty five years standing in front of the rightwing shit nozzle wasn't enough for you? I'd rather she not run as she is far too conservative for my taste but to claim the media has been handling her with gloves is ridiculous.

As a scandal this is really weak sauce.

As someone concerned with keeping a thorough historical record, it really pisses me off.

This thread delivers! The righties don't know what to do so they start with their retarded conspiracy theories and the lefties are trying to brush this off as no big deal as people have gotten in trouble for less.

That being said, because previous heads of state have used their personal email for government work it is possible that this story will be much ado about nothing provided clinton provides all emails when requested.

From a security stand point (as opposed to a preservation of historical documents), this seems quite reckless and I have no idea why the government would allow such a thing. Then again wasn't their a leak of all the cables (is that the term) that were sent between ambassadors?

We'll have to see the emails to know if there were any security issues. ():)

Because that worked so well with Benghazi? Because there is no history of these people purposefully destroying email records and trying to prevent their recovery. Because Hillary didn't use her personal account because she forgot her work email password. This is a willful and deliberate attempt to obstruct justice and possibly destroy or withhold evidence.

Justice should not rely on Hillary's staff deciding which emails to turn over and/or her email not getting hacked and national secrets being leaked.

This is not much ado about nothing.

If it was a gmail account I understand.

The web interface for gmail >>> *

Maybe Hilary gets it....

Hilary's email escapades are not an issue, the rest of the package is the problem.



If you can't get Warren in there, then Libs are worthless. Warren has her issues, but this election is a freebie for Dems, ... and you're going to put in Hilary?

Whether Hillary or Bush wins (and Hillary will win) we're gonna bring the pain to ISIS. Hillary is a pretty moderate democrat in my book.

The fact that she had a domain registered for the express purpose of keeping official correspondence private is itself an offense. The fact that her own private domain was probably not secure is an offense. The fact that she dealt with emails of a "sensitive" or "confidential" nature on the aforementioned domain is probably an offense.

It wasn't commercial email, but it's good to see the media doing their jobs and burying the lede.

Well when you live in a bubble you tend to not seek out the facts.

But Merrill says her records were kept and turned over to State. "Both the letter and spirit of the rules permitted State Department officials to use non-government email, as long as appropriate records were preserved," Merrill concluded.

derp

Using personal email as a sole method of communication appears to break rules outlined by the National Archives and Records Administration. The government agency stipulates that personal email can only be used in "emergency situations," and when used, the emails "are captured and managed in accordance with agency record-keeping practices."

All I can say is that this has caused her to lose my vote. Before this if she had gotten the Presidential nomination I might have voted for her, simply because I tend to vote Democrat in the big elections. But this, I feel, is clearly shows that she is trying to circumvent checks and balances meant to bring some level of transparency to government and keep politicians honest. In short it tells me she is doing something dishonest that she is trying to hide. It has destroyed what little trust I had in her.
Now, I would not vote for her to be president of the PTA bake sale.

By reality standards, it is the most corrupt in history. Gotta get outside of the liberal bubble.

What are you talking about? Righties seem to be wrong about almost everything.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan_administration_scandals
The presidency of Ronald Reagan in the United States was marked by multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any US president.[1]

I'll believe your comparison when you can explain to me why no charges were filed against Holder after they were referred.
