(7,231 posts)Even her spin (a.k.a. campaign statements) are starting to lack consistency. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" - and Mika isn't selfish for pointing that out. You are selfish for attempting to make this about Mika. This is about Clinton, and her severe shortcomings.
I hope and pray that California and New Jersey will end her campaign once and for all. This is a trainwreck.

At some point even casual "barely news following" people are going to be hit with these examples so much that their votes will be affected. I do NOT WANT a fucking President Donald fucking Trump and each week that possibility is going up up up. If we have to spend all or most of our energy defending Clinton, how the hell do our issues, issues that are winners, get to be placed centerstage???

(1,339 posts)and having a private server is not just "record keeping".
You make it sound like she forgot to keep receipts for a business lunch at The Palm.
Are we really going to go down the old "look! everybody is doing it too so it is not wrong" route? nad everybody was NOT doing this
some of the LAWS (not rules)potentially broken:
Mishandling Classified Information
Executive Order 13526 and 18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f) of the federal code make it unlawful to send of store classified information on personal email.
By using a private email system, Secretary Clinton violated the Federal Records Act and the State Departments Foreign Affairs Manual regarding records management, and worse, could have left classified and top secret documents vulnerable to cyber attack. This is an egregious violation of the law, and if it were anyone else, they could be facing fines and criminal prosecution.
Violation of The 2009 Federal Records Act
Section 1236.22 of the 2009 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements states that:
Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency record keeping system.
Federal regulations, since 2009, have required that all emails be preserved as part of an agencys record-keeping system. In Clintons case, her emails were kept on her personal account and her staff took no steps to have them preserved as part of State Department records.
Violation of the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA)
MSNBCs Lawrence ODonnell believes that the use of a personal emails server appears to be a preemptive move, specifically designed to circumvent FOIA: Hillary Clintons system was designed to defy Freedom of Information Act requests, which is designed to defy the law.'
Circumventing the Freedom of Information Act in the United States: the Controversial Case of Hillary Clinton
http://transparencyaudit.net/news/2015-04/circumventing-freedom-information-act-united-states-controversial-case-hillary-clinton
Prior to the discovery of the existence of Mrs. Clintons use of a private email account, the State Department left many FOIA requests related to her activities with the agency unanswered. Clinton and her aides recently released over 55,000 pages of emails from her personal account to the State Department, but FOIA requests, subpoenas, or other document searches were all left unfulfilled over the past five years because there were previously no official records. The oldest request was submitted in 2010, and although the federal agency acknowledged receiving the FOIA requests and created case numbers, they still have yet to produce any of the documents that were requested.
Under Federal law, government emails (with exceptions for classified information) are supposed to be a matter of public records so they can be available to members of Congress, the news media, and ordinary citizens. Clintons exclusive use of a personal email account violates NARA's rules for preserving records. The code requires federal agencies to make and preserve records that document agency activity, decisions and procedures, so that they are readily available when needed; in this case, for FOIA requests and congressional inquiries. Clintons aides took no actions to preserve the emails from her personal account. Had she used a government provided email address, all of her email sent and received would have been archived in the State Department system.

(15,238 posts)I suspect they are holding on to this for later nary but a brief mention by the phony progressives of MSNBC. Notice for the most part media gets it Clinton was cooked in the report. Even Chuck Todd (Toad) gets it. When confronted yesterday Hillary focuses on she was allowed to mix personal emails and go back to they all (former Secretary's) did it and she was allowed to have a private server. So it comes down to Colin Powell was experimenting with email and Hillary did not really have permission for a server she used an insecure BlackBerry for email and when problems with her server were noticed she refused to use a secured laptop. Hillary was the first SOS to use email extensively she screwed up and it was probably unintentional. Go to the present day she is trying to cover up and spin, impossible when in the final stages of an investigation.
Incredibly bad judgement, her opposition still wants to dredge up old stories such as Biill the Goat, when Hillary has fouled up her communications at never before seen levels. She is still self destructing.

(57,936 posts)Your IT person makes sure that your e-mails and computer files are secure.
That is how this is done. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, a lot of this was new and these kinds of mistakes were understandable.
But this mistake is not acceptable unless maybe you are in a small business for yourself and your computer is both your personal and your business computer.
This is not the kind of mistake that the IT people at the State Department should have accepted. Where were they? Didn't they notice that the Secretary of State was not on their secure computers. I am assuming that the State Department functions like any business.
Businesses have to have secure computer systems because they handle their clients or customers' very personal information like credit card numbers, etc.
The information Hillary was handling was even more confidential than that if possible. How could she have used an insecure server? And how could she have failed to make sure all of her work e-mails were on the State Department server when she left?
Did she leave too unexpectedly?
Was she leaving because she wanted to or maybe for some other reason?
How long before leaving did she plan her departure?

(5,621 posts)This is a very damning article. I don't know if they are RW or not, I didn't check. I got to it from Yahoo's front page. But the snippet below should answer your question.
"The Office of the Inspector General at State, as in all federal departments, exists to ferret out internal fraud, waste and illegalities. However, State had no real IG boss from 2009 to 2013, with an acting director heading up the office. Neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton were in any hurry to find a permanent director for States IG shop. Now we know why."

ReRe
(10,597 posts)... on YahooNews with a grain of salt and some cross-checking. However, I read the observer.com article and also found parts of it very informative.
Especially about the Office of Inspector General and what their actual function is:
to ferret out " 'internal' fraud, waste and illegalities." Doesn't an Acting State IG have exactly the same duties as the permanent State IG, with the understanding that it is a temporary position?
I have all kinds of questions about the IG position itself. Does the President appoint the Dept of State IG? Is that a position that has to be run thru the Senate for a vote? Did the Bush State IG agree to stay on as temporary State IG for the PO administration? Jeez Louise, my mind is exploding with a gazillion questions.
This whole thing has opened up a Pandora's Box. Like.... could we actually be seeing the END of the right wing of the Democratic Party before our eyes? It's a bigger scandal than Watergate ever thought about being.

(11,238 posts)Comparing government to business is a simplistic comparison no matter how often people make it. In this case you are comparing a system of static information (credit card numbers) with diplomatic dealings that are in constant flux, consisting of events & information that shift in an ever-changing, multi-layered, worldwide dynamic. I would imagine that IT employees at State don't expect to always be read in on matters of state importance. They probably tend to give the head honcho, who is dealing with governments both friendly and hostile, and with volatile situations both longstanding and sudden, some room to maneuver as he or she sees fit.

(23,156 posts)Sometimes that's good. Sometimes it's not so good.
Back in the 1960's, when computers were first being installed in lots of places, some genius in the FAA said, "Rent computers? Are you nuts? We'll BUY them!" About forty years later the entire air traffic control system was in an enormous crisis because of those old computers. Meanwhile, pretty much every business out there had, thanks to the miracle of renting computers, upgraded their hardware and software pretty steadily. And here's a recent article about the computers in the Air Traffic Control System. http://www.wired.com/2015/02/air-traffic-control/
Although some businesses have done it better than others. About twenty years ago my now ex went to work for a company when they were getting new computers, and things were in a bit of a crisis for them. He was very good at his job, and the eventual changeover went quite well and they kept him on to manage that department. The main thing he did for the fifteen years he worked there was to continually upgrade and improve all the computers, everywhere in that business. He even got the salesmen to use computers, which was something of a miracle. I remember him telling me "There's a reason they're in sales."
And I've heard that Hillary Clinton had no idea how to check emails when she first became a Senator, but have no idea how true that may be. But I wouldn't be surprised. Often people at the top have enough staff that they don't have to do many day-to-day things. In any case, she was even less tech savvy than I am, and that's not good. She would have had no way of understanding the ramifications of setting up her own email server in her home. I at least was married to an IT guy for a long time and he explained lots of stuff to me.
More to the point, she was told explicitly not to do that, and she did it anyway. What part of No do you suppose she has trouble understanding?

(8,175 posts)This is very damning for Clinton. Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd coming out against her on this?
Chuck says (these are my words, not his) that she could not even be confirmed as Attorney General if this was revealed while vetting her...yet we are trying to anoint her President?
Please people, take this seriously. Until this report that shows she broke the rules, I wasn't open to considering this as a legitimate issue against her, but I think now that it truly is legitimate.
And I am not one to look for reasons to hate her or deny her this win (there are enough valid reasons without making shit up)...I don't like her and I don't think she is qualified (for foreign policy if nothing else) to run this country, but I really hate the conspiracy theories...no matter whom they are addressing.

Completely putting aside my ideological differences with Clinton, she still is a tragically flawed candidate, and is spiralling down into levels of lies (ie. "I was allowed to have the private server" and "The rules were only changed after I left the State Dept" that any 4th grader can grasp as an untruth, a straightforward falsehood.
I do not want to wake up der Trumpf getting sworn in in as POTUS next winter, and from my vantage point, that possibility looms ever larger.

(3,825 posts)This has been going on for decades. The record keeping, which apparently is like printing a piece of paper containing the email and filing it in a box is their standard. Colin Powell didn't even bother to follow that one. The system is completely outdated and even diplomats in the field have no secure way to send information unless they are in their "safe" compound called an embassy. My email server is safer than the State Department, and Hillary was probably pretty smart to use her own. Do you even know what the standards for record keeping are? I have a son who works for the DHS in record keeping and it's still paper in paper files and it takes people to file them. I don't need to spin on her behalf, we have an out of date, unsafe and unsecure record keeping system that no one has taken seriously for a very long time until now. Of course we do an "investigation" because it's so much easier to "investigate" than to fix the damn thing. That takes money and people who actually want to get something done. Yeah, she's supposed to do this one all by herself. Bull shit.
