made it stick.

I guess we need a President who's up to that "challenge".

I remember that Bush channeled his email through the RNC, and how Keith Olbermann ranted about it. Republicans made excuses for Bush, while others considered it a corrupt and shady practice. Not a spectre you want to raise here.

went through all their emails looking for mistakes, they wouldn't find some?

It's not even something people really bitch about. The notion that doing work-related email on private accounts/servers would be a "solution" to the Hatch Act is... quaint. This is a loser of an "explanation" and will deserve every bit of ridicule it receives.

to to go through during your 18 hour days?

Did you have a state department position that could require you to get up during the middle of the night? Did you have political emails that sometimes required responses during "standard" work hours? What if your work hours were never standard? How would you sort out your state department and your political activities then?

She did it, but it's ridiculous to think her situation is comparable to low-level employees without political commitments, too. And Obama never asked her to drop all of them. In fact, she used those connections in her state department job.

The notion that as SOS, HRC was "working" 24/7 and could therefore never have sent personal/political emails is equally bogus. At that level, the notion of "standard work hours" is flexible. But go on pushing this latest "explanation". It's gonna be fun watching it go splat.

daytime hours for political activities.

I'm complaining that it was UNSECURE.

1) Communications with her server were not encrypted for the first 3 months.

2) They left the default VPN keys installed on her server

Using those addresses, McGeorge discovered that the certificate appearing on the site Tuesday appeared to be the factory default for the security appliance, made by Fortinet Inc., running the service.

3) They were using, and continue to use, self-signed SSL certificates

4) They set up a .com domain, enabling the typosquater who has registered clintonmail.com (no "e" before "mail&quot . Whoever registered that domain is in a perfect position to steal login information or perform spear phishing attacks.

5) Her ISP was repeatedly hacked by China

which originated in China.

Your link # 5 provides no evidence that her personal server was hacked.

While dot gov was hacked, the perpetrators didn't get anywhere near our national security secrets.

That's because large organizations, like the federal government, use a variety of products, services, encryption, user and data classification, logging, monitoring and regular audits to keep the bad guys out of our secrets.

Here's an example: A thief may be able to get into your livingroom through an unsecure window, but he'll never - or rarely - get passed the series of obstacles you've put up to guard your safe - like the dual-authentication key pad to the room, the Rottweilers laying in front of the safe and the fingerprint lock on the safe door.

Clinton had NONE of these things and was traveling all over the world in various air space with a Blackberry. An experienced hacker could stand outside of her hotel room and pick up her signal. Once they got that, they could just hop onto the server and have access to all her emails.

So, yes, dot gov was hacked, but the hackers only got into the foyer. We don't know where they visited on the Clinton server.

Just a lot of supposition on the part of her political enemies, the R's and the D's.

That's a totally piss poor excuse for moving all the public government emails to a personal server out of government control.

What if, god forbid, there had been an accident and she died, then all the official business would have been sitting behind her personal network out of government control.

The Bush administration did it? That's no defense. That was the most corrupt administration in modern history so I would hardly want to compare myself to that.

the rest of your life in there, too.
