Another case of the Clinton Dynasty having a "do as I say, not as I do" moment. Hillary thinks she is above any law, so does Bill. Her admonishing another State Dept empolyee for doing what she does doesn't surprise me one bit. Her actions are probably criminal but she knows nothing will be done. Its quite sad that we've come to this point in American politics. Her actions during Benghazi before the murders and afterwards are criminal. A debacle she caused with no responsibility whatsoever. Quite sad. She is a serial liar.

Did you actually read the link? Hillary did not tell him not to use the email. The State Department’s Office of the Inspector General admonished him for it. The real question should be, why didn't the Office of the Inspector General admonish Hillary as well?

What I find most concerning so far is that it doesn't appear that anyone told her she was doing something wrong, and there was no system of checks and balances to make sure she was following procedures. The system is clearly fucked when it only tries to fix the problem by punishing people years after rather than trying to stop it while it's happening or keep it from happening in the first place.

Yeah, I did actually read it. Its the same shit over and over with these people, they are responsible for nothing. She is head of the State Dept right? And she does the same thing one of her employees is doing? Come on……..she knew ti was wrong and she kept doing it? She may not of told him to use the email but she evidently knew it was wrong or she wouldn't of admonished him. You are splitting hairs. Hillary is a serial liar.

Agreed. I've said that I'll hold my nose and vote for her if someone like Trump is up against her but I'm rethinking that position in light of recent events. If I'm given the choice between Clinton/Bush or Clinton/Trump I'll go 3rd party.

The things that bothers me the most about all of this: How many other lazy idiots are still circumventing security policy right now in high ranking Govt. positions? Is the only reason we know about her (at best) stupid and irresponsible handling of possible state secrets because she is running for PotUS? What is being done to ensure that this is not a continuing problem today and tomorrow?

I know, the U.S. likes a good political scandal (about a "royal family" in the U.S. no less) but besides a possible death knell for her political career, will this be a positive motivator for change on the hill?

Probably not. This is probably the tip of the shitberg as far as digital security goes. Soon enough we'll hit that shitberg at full speed and sink like a shittanic into a sea of shit.

From the article:

PunditFact, however, found that most of the reports inflated the significance of the personal email. Gration’s grating style of management, uncooperative attitude and "disruptive" initiatives were more pressing to the State Department. Out of more than 80 mission chiefs, he ranked last for interpersonal relations, next to last on managerial skill and attention to morale, and third to last on overall scores, according to the audit.

Compared to these issues, the email problem played a minor role, according to Ronald Neumann, who served as an American ambassador three times, most recently in Afghanistan from 2005-07.
