'The server will remain private' is just another way of saying "go fuck yourself, I do what I want"

- She said that was the only system she used.
- She said specifically that there was "never" any classified on that system.

So who will put to her "explain just how you did manage to handle classified information"?

Ah, hell what difference does it make... she already said she's the one with the expertise to take that 0300 phone call.

The Secret Service "guarded" that server, how exactly does that work?

What does it matter now?

I wonder if anyone has tried to hack that server?

There have to be some real quotable quotes there.

Like when she told Barry about Benghazi.

Wouldn't it be sweet if China released the other 10K emails she deemed "personal?"

More likely hold them and use them to bribe her into doing their bidding.

Of course, they got her husband to do it for money. Or was it love?

How do you hold a position like that and never have a classified email?

If you like your private email server, you can keep your private email server

My condolences to anyone who has to view HRC's yoga routines. I don't even think I would wish that on the annointed one. In all seriousness, those hard drives are either long gone or getting the scrub of a lifetime. I can't imagine them still being in their original condition, which begs the question, "At this point, what difference does it make?".


Quote:
Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., head of the House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks, said in a statement that without access to it, "there is no way for the State Department to know it has acquired all documents that should be made public."

He said he sees "no choice" but for Clinton to turn over the server "to a neutral, detached third-party arbiter who can determine which documents should be public and which should remain private."

The former secretary of state showed no interest in doing so during her press conference.

She said she has "more than met" the State Department's request for records, and the server "contains personal communications from my husband and me." Clinton said that will remain "private."

She also said her personal emails, which she didn't keep and didn't turn over, covered everything from her daughter Chelsea's wedding to yoga routines.

Speaking with Fox News' "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren," Gowdy said: "I have no interest in her yoga routine, trust me. I have no interest in that. But I have every interest in public record, whether it's related to Libya or not, and I have no interest in her personal attorney determining what is a public record and what is not a public record.
By the way, didn't HRC & Co. already state that Slick Willy doesn't use email? I'm pretty sure I read that he only used email twice while in the oval office. So, how is it that her personal email would contain messages from him? Hmmmm...

I already took point and made sure everything was clear - there are not any yoga photos of HRC at this link:

A Highly Methodical I Do What I Want

This wasn't just some sort of homebrew email server, though she'd love to make it reflect those appearances to every person who plans to vote for her. She hired consultants to design and develop her little operation. She's not the first politician to do this, either. I suppose she learned a lot from her days working on Watergate.

Quote:
A week before becoming secretary of state, Hillary Clinton set up a private e-mail system that gave her a high level of control over communications, including the ability to erase messages completely, according to security experts who have examined Internet records.

“You erase it and everything’s gone,” Matt Devost, a security expert who has had his own private e-mail for years. Commercial services like those from Google Inc. and Yahoo! Inc. retain copies even after users erase them from their in-box.
Although Clinton worked hard to secure the private system, her consultants appear to have set it up with a misconfigured encryption system, something that left it vulnerable to hacking, said Alex McGeorge, head of threat intelligence at Immunity Inc., a Miami Beach-based digital security firm.
Regarding security:
Quote:
It took less than a day for researchers to find potential problems with the Clinton’s system. Using a scanning tool called Fierce that he developed, Robert Hansen, a web-application security specialist, found what he said were the addresses for Microsoft Outlook Web access server used by Clinton’s e-mail service, and the virtual private network used to download e-mail over an encrypted connection. If hackers located those links, they could search for weaknesses and intercept traffic, according to security experts.

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.Those defaults would normally be replaced by a unique certificate purchased for a few hundred dollars. By not taking that step, the system was vulnerable to hacking.

WTF. No one got the balls in that outfit to do the right thing here

Those hard drives probably got cooked in a microwave oven

Then ran through a degausser
Then burned
Then crushed
Then stolen as part of a right wing extremist conspiracy meant to ruin the good name of the Clinton family

...fucking dirty republican conspirators

They work for AG Holder. They have sworn an oath to the Emperor...I mean Fuhrer...sorry, POTUS, to do his bidding. Oaths to the Constitution be damned.

Do you really think they are going to seriously pursue anything that would reflect negatively in any way on the Administration or any friend of the POTUS?

The account was allegedly hacked already, by an amateur. Do you think the Chinese and Russians don't already have it?
