Rachel Maddow explains what it took for Hillary Clinton to be in compliance with State Department

"If you were asked to do this at your job you would say no. And you did not have to travel to 157 countries over the course of 4 years, unless John Kerry is reading this. The state department admits that it’s system is Antiquated and has actually produced 3000 boxes of unfiled emails to and from the various Secretary of States since 1997. Now I understand that these emails are not in any way sorted. There is no index and there’s no way to search through them. The state department says that by the end of this year they will have an off-the-shelf product that will back up the emails. But until that happens this weird system which only Rachel Maddow had the journalistic Integrity to report is what has caused all these issues for Hillary Clinton. They are fabricated issues and I hope more journalists take Rachel’s lead and tells the story The Way It Is.
A lot of people on television and in opinion pieces have said that Hillary Clinton has taken a blase attitude about this email situation. If I were in her shoes I would be so tired of this stupid rule of her having to print out every email she received and sent out I would to be rolling my eyes the way she does.

All at printed shit was only necessary if you didn't use the secure system. She chose not to. The report clearly indicates she knew the consequences of her decisions. She fucked up.

It would be hard to get things done. This is what you guys want to jeopardize our party for and elect Trump.

The National Archives and Records Administration unveiled in 2013 a voluntary approach to help agencies manage email records, called Capstone.

which include electronic, pdf, microfilm.

The thing is, printing them out is only one method available

And she had plenty of staff available to comply

that apparently was being managed by an IT guy that was not experienced in security. With incidents where they allegedly had to unplug the server because they thought they were being hacked.

Does Rachel look at her face in the mirror in the morning these days ?

HRC can't follow rules because antiquated but Bernie has to follow rules that are rigged?
And all she had to do was use State Dept servers. Sounds a little like entitlement to me.

was to use a secure State Department server account. THAT'S what she said no to. Rachel is an unabashed shill with an ever-developing dishonest streak.
