[quote=harvey]What amuses me about this “email scandal” is that it is being framed as if Hillary was literally in her basement with a bunch of computers, cables, and wire cutters cutting into some government cable-box with a big red TOP SECRET label on it. And once she wired it all up she sat down at the terminal and typed the necessary cryptic codes, specifically with the intent to enable a flood of government secrets to go straight to Anthony Weiner’s pedo-webcam station.
I really doubt the Clinton – who was running an organization with tens of thousands of employees at the time – was doing her own hands-on IT work.
I really doubt that she understands much at all about how email works.
Its interesting that nobody is concerned about who actually did the IT work that allowed information to leak out. And that all of the well-funded agencies in the DoD and intelligence services, etc. did not provide any oversight.[/quote]
I agree with most everything you said until the end. What evidence is there that anything leaked out? The FBI has categorically said that there is no evidence that the server was ever hacked. I don’t think there’s any evidence that any emails from Clinton’s secure server were ever leaked. Unlike the DNC and State Department systems which have been hacked. Also not hacked, to the best of my knowledge, was the RNC private server, than the Bush administration used, and deleted 22 million emails in violation of federal law. Or AOL and gmail accounts, which are regularly hacked, and were used by SOS Colin Powell and SOS Condoleezza Rice. The former has now failed to turn over a single email from his tenure, despite a now 2 year old subpoena for that data.
