say, ya left something out of my post, let me put that right back:

Except, you know, the ones that weren't.
She was running the state department, and she was running her communications out of her cowboy/homebrew server. What am i missing here?[

Evidence of said emails.

Should be pretty easy to find, as there was someone who was not clinton on the receiving end of all of them...
 
In 2011, Hillary Clinton said she carried a BlackBerry, an iPad, and an iPod. About that "convenience" argument...

Plus it is totes easier to set up a cowboy server down the hall from Bill's man cave than putting gmail on a blackberry.

:rolleyes:

Hey, I didn't start the thread and I don't follow the Benghazi stuff. But I can't look at this critically and not think that this is sleazy. I don't need a conspiracy to see that her excuses are silly.

I followed Benghazi closely enough that it's obvious to me that Clinton's critics are full of steaming BS. Other than that, I strongly agree with you.

I have enough reasons for not voting for her, or pretty much any other potential candidate, left or right. She definitely has a lot of baggage though.

I disliked her before this revelation. But given the alternatives, I'll hold my nose and vote for her. Worst case, I wouldn't vote. I most certainly wouldn't vote for the GOP candidate.

But this thread is about a politician having her own email server which she controls the contents of, as she has admitted. This is not power I want politicians to have, any of them.

Indeed. The arguments presented in this thread in defense of her behavior strike me as blatant, knee-jerk partisanship (except for the argument that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that she broke the law), speaking as an IT professional.
 
By the way, Hillary Clinton destroyed more than half of her emails from her tenure as Secretary of State.

Let that sink in.

Furthermore, it appears that she did so despite numerous outstanding FOIA requests.

... As far as the mixing of the emails on a personal server, as long as the server is secure then it shouldn't be a problem.

However secure her server was, the mere fact that she was off the reservation is a problem for the organization. Imagine how it would be received if you announced to your employer that you weren't going to adhere to company policy, and that you'd manage security yourself in a manner unknown to the company.

I would probably encounter some problems unless there was an established history of my predecessors using personal email, and in this case the company didn't have a policy that said I couldn't. That's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

So you agree it was all legal, whether you approved of the practice or not ?

No, I just think she'll get away with it.

Why do you think that? Because both houses of Congress are so blatantly partisan in Hillary's favor that they'll just let her skate?

Just like they've done with all the other Clinton witch hunts controversies?
 
http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...dditional-questions-raised-by-hillary-newser/


Hillary Clinton’s big news conference on her email situation made news, because it raised more questions than it answered:

1. How is it possible for Hillary to have served four years as Secretary of State without sending or receiving a single classified or sensitive email, as she claimed?

2. Hillary claimed that her private mail server was created for Bill Clinton while he was President. Was she really managing her email ...

They are good questions, why does it matter if its Breitbart.

Its also good that you'll be informed with news you won't get from your usual sources.

I got to:

2. Hillary claimed that her private mail server was created for Bill Clinton while he was President. Was she really managing her email with a server that was at least a decade old? What operating system was it running?

Before I realized that it was crap. The things wrong with just this "question":

1) This "question" makes it appear like once you have 1 OS on a system it can never be removed and\or upgraded.

2) Hardware can be upgraded in a matter of a few minutes.

How is it crap? You are answering for her. We actually would like to know the answer. Wouldn't you. or are you okay trusting her?

Anything that has enough baggage would grab their attention. I don't think that criteria has been reached to break the partisan ceiling. She probably has enough political capital for it not the take a dump on her career. On the other hand, it doesn't give me much desire to trust her or take her promises at face value if transparency in one of the promises she eventually makes, assuming she runs for the oval office.

When it comes to her servers OS, the only reason I care would be out of a general curiosity for what she was running. Best guess....I'd say she probably kept pretty up to date since she had an "IT guy", so Windows Server 2008. I wouldn't guess they'd go with a Linux system, but maybe. Windows server 2008 is a decent system, but she might be up to 2012 at this point.

So while it would be interesting to know from a nerdy standpoint, I don't feel it is really a pivotal question.
