Ok.

Thanks for posting.

Sure. I only come to that conclusion because you fail to address three fourths of my posting.

There is no evidence of law breaking. In fact, we have dueling "spokespersons":

Hillary Clinton's exclusive use of a personal email account to conduct official business as secretary of State caused seems to have stayed within the law, experts say.
What she did was not technically illegal,” said Patrice McDermott, a former National Archives staffer and the head of the Open The Government coalition, a transparency group.


ETA:“Like secretaries of State before her, she used her own email account when engaging with any department officials,” spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement. “For government business, she emailed them on their department accounts, with every expectation they would be retained.”

Which is why am asking questions about what specifically she did that was illegal, what were the consequences, etc.

Because otherwise, it just seems like outrage because of who she is. :rolleyes:

Omg. I figured it out. Eric Hoteham is Slender Man! It even rhymes. Hillary's more evil than I imagined. Search her for cheesecake!

There was no law broken. At best there could have been a policy breach, but even then it's considered a moot point. She emailed people on their government accounts, which means all information was archived on government servers. I think 16.5 is under the impression that only outgoing emails are saved to the server. What with the NSA being able to hack the world, you'd think they'd clear this up right proper!

ETA:“Like secretaries of State before her, she used her own email account when engaging with any department officials,” spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement. “For government business, she emailed them on their department accounts, with every expectation they would be retained.”

I said this same thing in the Benghazi thread, but it will most assuredly be ignored. It's like saying the email server was "one she controlled". It's just a scare tactic.

"Controlling" an email server is the same as "controlling" an email account. There aren't many added benefits, or significant power that comes with it. I run my own email, dhcp, ftp, and minecraft (a game for my son) server at my house. It's just easier to maintain it that way. I still use my commercial email for almost everything. It's just neato to have an @firstnamelastname.com\org\whatever email account. They used to be easier to link to phones as well, but now you can link almost any commercial email in a matter of seconds.

Which is why am asking questions about what specifically she did that was illegal, what were the consequences, etc.

Nothing illegal about it at all. She followed protocol in that she did all official business through .gov accounts by emailing the recipient on their .gov accounts. It's all archived, and I would almost guarantee most of the emails that were turned over were duplicates of what the committee already had. Some people even said emails were a waste of time as most conversations about something so serious would have been done in real-time. On the phone, chat program, etc.

Because otherwise, it just seems like outrage because of who she is. :rolleyes:

If you could see me right now, I would be tapping the side of my nose with my finger.

facepalm.

Can you elaborate ?
 
facepalm.

Nice addition. Care to explain where it is wrong or how it is wrong? Do government servers not archive information? Is that what you're insinuating? Are you insinuating that she didn't email them on their email accounts? Because then this should be moved to the CT section as you're implying that her business was done with co-workers and fellow government individuals through personal email accounts to deliberately bypass the archiving process.

I despise attempted snark with one liner comments, especially while showing a complete lack of knowledge when it comes to the workings of the internet while trying to pass crap like "RUNZ HER OWN SARVERZ! OMGZ".
 
Based on his reply to me earlier, 16.5 seems to be pointing out the the Secretary of State does more than just email folks in her own government. I doubt that we can subpoena the servers of other governments, just as an example.

Which has what to do with Benghazi, exactly?
 
Well, actually, the emails to people not on government servers would not be archived, now would they.

This is particularly true where Clinton's top aide had a clintonemails.com account, viz: huma@clintonemail.com.

There's a problem.

I already explained this once.

the Smoking Gun has emails sent to her on the Political situation in Libya that were not archived.

I'm starting to doubt that Eric Hoteham is a real person. I can't help but notice that his name is an anagram of "Oh, Hate Crime!", which is surely an indication that he was concocted as some sort of scheme on the part of (obviously racist) Democrats to incite a race war after Obama seizes all of the guns from white people.

If you thought your earlier post was an explanation, you are mistaken. I think that some of you are so used to sparring with each other, you think that the rest of us must be following along with these little asides.

Sorry, I did not think that "Hillary e-mailed people outside of the US Government" needed any further clarification.

Can you link me to this post? I'm not being facetious, I'm being serious. I can't seem to find it, but I've been known to overlook things.

She emailed them what? How did "the smoking gun" find the emails? What did the emails contain? Who did she email that was outside of the US Government? How can that be tied to her failing to do insert_failure_here?
 
Sorry - I read your post as saying that you already explained the Benghazi thing.

I have! :D

In all seriousness, i have been trying diligently to confine Benghazi to the Moderated thread, and the broader repercussions to this thread, although there is huge overlap.

and i have therefore changed my earlier post to refer to the 12/12 emails regarding the situation in Libya as opposed to Benghazi

Or just a mix of Eric Holder and Rodham. "Hey, we have to put in a name. Haha I'll do this!"
