Sounds like they're being robustly proactive in assuring us of the non-contestability of the synergies involved in this event.

i think you have been in the same meetings i have.

it is a mistake to put all this data in one place. If each Dept and Agency had it's own list then the next Manning or Snowden could not get it all from one file.

Contractors have been secured! Litigation management is underway! The healing can begin!

one nation violated the personal freedoms of everyday citizens of a foreign nation??

Isn't our privacy a "human right?" or is that rhetoric only reserved for NSA stories??

...which for those of us who are against all forms of surveillance (be it corporate or government) was pretty damn silly.

I support what Snowden did but not how he went about it, and I think it was all a cash grab by others in those circles.

And I don't see any significant changes due to it.

Smart!

Those Radio Shack servers in her back bedroom are as impregnable as Fort Knox.

and it was protected and backed up (first by Google, then by McAffee). Bill also had a professional IT employee from his days as President. They've been really quiet about who set up the security, but a couple years ago an AP reporter published an article about the setup that had a link to, but it's not available now - so it was scrubbed after the emails became an issue.

In that article they reported there were back ups of the server, so likely they still exist. They also described encryption. Of course, the software and technology and hackers have changed a lot as things evolve.

It seems that whatever they had was safer than the government computers! As far as reported, not a single Blackberry message or email has ever surfaced other than the 55,000 that were turned over to the State Department years ago. Of course, any messages sent or received were captured by the other end. To date, no message has surfaced that someone said was NOT included in the 55,000. The GOP operatives have tried for a long time to find something "missing" and haven't. That means that if she wanted to keep a secret - BOTH sides of the messaging had to be secure and invisible to any government capture.

Whatever she was doing was either very effective, or else there's nothing there except wedding plans and a yoga schedule. Maybe both was true.

Right. Nothing has changed since 2000.

what she did at the time seemed to work.

For that matter, whatever she's doing now seems to be working.

Clearly it's frustrated the GOPers!

The federal government can't protect their own secret databases. If I was the S0S, I wouldn't trust the government system either.

You realize of course, that the State Department has a parallel system for anything they want to keep secret that they've maintained for a while. They don't reveal what it is, but several SoS's reported that they used it instead of email for all secret messages.

Likely the secure system evolves over time, but even if Hillary used carrier pigeons or pony express, it wouldn't matter as long as it was routine and not labelled secret.

Wonder what is going on behind the scenes, including w/China.
