I'm not sure why you see that any of this is much of a defense of Clinton. I guess your claim with regard to young people's computer knowledge is that the average young professional wouldn't have understood that the security required on a server used by a high government official, particularly the secretary of state, would have been greater than the security available if one set up a typical private server.
First, I'm not trying to defend Clinton. Just because I don't agree with you about the severity of this, doesn't mean I'm defending her. I recognize she made a mistake, I'm just not as up in arms about it as you and your ilk. Secondly, you said that a young person would have a better understanding than Clinton had. I provided nothing more than my anecdotal experience that has been formed by working on a college IT desk for the last 2 years, and going to school for this field of study. That being said, I will stand by my statement. "Young professionals" (whatever the hell that means), for the most part, know exactly jack **** about server security. They wouldn't know the difference between top notch server security and a SAM database. They don't know, they don't care, and it means nothing to them at all unless they're going into that field of study..
Or that young non-computer professionals wouldn't understand that deleting a file doesn't prevent the recovery of that file.
Again, most young professionals don't know that. They know that when they delete from their inbox, it's gone. If you have evidence to the contrary than present it. If not, you're just talking out of your ass.
Or that the average young non-computer professional wouldn't realize that somebody could retrieve the entire batch of emails on the server on to memory sticks plugged into the front of the server. I think your assessment is probably wrong.
Based on what? What experience or knowledge do you have that contradicts my statements? Do you have anything?
You make a great deal about your IT skills,
No, I don't. I've said I'm more knowledgeable than most people posting here, and I've offered information from my experience. I haven't made a great deal about anything. In fact, I've eluded to those with more knowledge (TheL8Elvis) more than once. You, on the other hand, have made claims about the knowledge young people have without anything to back it up at all. Just your own opinion. Which is duly noted and disregarded.
but you haven't written anything in this thread where you have done more than spit out common partisan talking points coupled with a little self puffery.
Coming from the source I find this severely hypocritical. Don't let me stop you from posting that ridiculous Hillary campaign poster meme again though. I find it delightful when something like that happens and then your hypocrisy shows by lecturing me on partisan talking points.
Clinton failed to conform with laws and rules requiring her to submit her emails for archiving and the evidence is very strong that she had no intention of conforming with those rules. It doesn't take a job in IT to understand this.
Which you've shown time, and time again. A lack of knowledge, yet absolute with the "facts" you have, no matter how many times it's contradicted by others. I'm also going to relate the "I don't need a degree to have absolute knowledge", again, to 9/11 truthers ."Just because I have no knowledge in the field doesn't mean that a few minutes of internet sleuthing and reading articles doesn't make me an expert on how the towers fell."
Laughable.
Clinton used her server for the receipt and transmission of classified material.
No, she didn't. She used her server AND THEN some material got sent to her. The classification levels vary depending on which department you speak with.
All of your questions have been answered by TheL8Elvis on more than one occasion. I'm not wasting my time linking to those answers when you're just going to handwave them away as you've done this entire time.
