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.
