This is an underrated post, you are (at the very least) incredibly well researched on this topic. So what is your opinion?

My opinion:

  1. What she did was blatantly illegal.
  2. There is no need to prove intent.
  3. The documentation involved in setting up, supporting, auditing, communicating with auditors, and formulating responses to auditor findings will be insurmountable.
  4. There are more people than just her and her IT guy that would have been aware of her server, and they are all involved in the aforementioned process.

I am not alone in my belief that this was illegal: https://lamarsmith.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/smith-scrutinizes-security-of-clinton-email-server

“Understanding these companies’ roles in providing software and services to maintain former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server is critical to improving government cybersecurity standards. A high profile government official deviating from established information security requirements raises significant concerns. The sensitive nature of the information stored on Sec. Clinton’s private server created a unique challenge to ensure all of the information was properly safeguarded. The Committee takes seriously its duty to ensure the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is properly equipped to safeguard our nation’s information.”

"Earlier this month, the Committee held a hearing where a private sector cybersecurity expert told the Committee his company would not set up a private server for a government official because such an arrangement is “illegal” and because it would expose classified data."

Edit: Also, it is very important to understand what it means for there to be an assertion in management's response, and the requirements around having a reasonable basis for that assertion.

Edit2: Also, I've discussed many of these points with a cybersecurity attorney, and a defense industry FISMA expert, neither of which disagreed.

Thank you for all your work in this topic... sadly I don't have a twitter but I will certainly do my best to inform others as to the full nature of the Clinton email scandal.

You assert that you're not alone in your belief that this was illegal by quoting the republican running an investigation into her emails that his own party won't even back, in turn quoting an unnamed private sector cybersecurity expert invited by the committe Smith chairs.

Whatever the case may be wrt Clinton, you are deluded if you think you, random internet person, somehow have a better capacity at investigating her than the committees fully, erm, committed, to going after her with everything they've got?

At least try to structure your info dump a bit, this is so shoddy it makes my head hurt. You will not get any journalists interested, and your tweet won't gather any momentum whatsoever, not because of bias but because you are doing a terrible job at... whatever it is you're trying to do. You seem quite wound up by this scandal so one would think you'd at least give it your best. My apologies if this is, in fact, your best.

You are probably getting downvoats because you looked sorta like Amalek spam at first.

Considering how surprised they behaved after the public discovery of the server and its connection with the Clinton Foundation, I have a suspicion that it was not under proper review or scrutiny that official state sanctioned stuff would be. I mean, they immediately demanded the forfeiture of the server and then painstakingly recovered what was deleted from it. They then granted immunity to the man who set the server up so he could discuss it without being charged with a crime, seeing as he plead the fifth beforehand.

I feel like these actions would not be taken if the server was something they knew about and approved. I'm obviously no expert or anything, but I feel confidently that what Hillary did was not endorsed by the feds and potentially (almost certainly) broke some national security law.

IIRC, there were several Freedom of Information Act requests that came back empty as though they were unaware the server even existed.

Hillary is a master of defensive arguments. None of what you wrote matters if you cannot prove she willfully did any of that.

She can say "My IT team handled all the specifics to setting up my server". We need proof that she ordered her staff to disobey security protocols and organizational audits.

I hate Hillary, but he ability to deflect criticisms and accusations is probably the best I've ever seen. You are gonna need actual paper or audio proof she ordered those things to happen.

The thing with this stuff though is that when it comes to mishandling classified material, there is no middle ground where you can plead ignorance about storing it. It's a "you did or you didn't" situation, not a "you knowingly did or didn't". If stored classified material is not reported and logged in the federal systems as a function of general scrutiny or personal discovery, then it's a very big problem. Seeing as they discovered 2000+ classified documents and 22 deemed so classified that they can't be released even in part, I think Hillary's in some deep shit.

Exactly this. When it comes to these sorts of crimes, ignorance isn't a legal defense. You're required - REQUIRED - to know the law governing how secret and top secret documents are handled, and there's a very lengthy, involved process for setting things up like Hilary's server. Under no circumstances would such a thing ever be allowed had it gone through proper channels, which means she did all of it improperly. Regardless of how stupid and ignorant the woman is, even if she managed to convince everyone involved that she "didn't know", she could still be prosecuted and sent to jail - and would already be serving time if she were anyone but a Clinton.

That's the beauty of it, due to her obligations in the process she can't claim ignorance. To claim ignorance would itself be damning. There is tons of paper documentation required to be there, the lack of that documentation is itself damning.
