This deserves a post of its own.

From the OIG report.

“State’s technology is so antiquated that NO ONE uses a State-issued laptop and even high officials routinely end up using their home email accounts to be able to get their work done quickly and effectively.”

I highly doubt that the NSA, which is more likely to have a covert CIA budget that is still funded by U.S. taxpayers gets more security over their domestic and foreign intelligence than the State Department, which fundamentally shares knowledge of what the NSA is doing.

Is it really this dysfunctional? If so, maybe every budget should be off the books?

She ignored those guidelines for storing federal documents and she fucking lied when she publicly and loudly said that she would be happy to "talk to anybody, anytime" about the matter and encourage her staff to do the same and then turn around and declined to "talk to anybody, anytime" about the matter in the State Department review, a department she was the head of.
