Related: About this forumHow you know it aint about emails or security of the nation.
It just isnt, none of the folks who have all this "concern" about emails, it aint about that.
Sorry, it just aint.
We know what it is about, and what has been about since day one of the Benghazi hearings.

(443 posts)Obama was one who instructed the AG to have FBI start a security review. And FBI found other things that None of us know about that lead to more deeper investigation. Anything claiming guilt or innocent is speculation at this point.

(443 posts)And doubling down on saying Obama started a security review over some other reason? Please expand on this it not like you get paid for posting less words or something. Use some to explain your point better.

(443 posts)I just think Obama does not like her. But destroy her I don't think he wants to go that far. All he did was call for a security review, they found something what we don't even know yet. But Obama has not really done anything trying to destroy her.

Thank you.

(11,366 posts)The referral came from the Inspector General's office after State drug it's feet. The existence of the private server came from the Benghazi hearings.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,711 posts)The investigation emanated from a request by the Republican led Benghazi Committee just as DemocratSinceBirth has stated.

(11,366 posts)The FBI got involved after the U.S. Intelligence community and the IG's office referred them the case.
The only thing Benghazi has to do with it is that it was through those hearings that the private server came to light. The Benghazi committee had months and months of hearings before the IG's office and Intelligence got involved. Both the IG's office and Intelligence are under Obama.
On edit: Regardless of how it came to light, does it not bother you that she ignored security protocols - legal or not? I don't believe it was illegal to have the server, FWIW, but I do believe she mishandled national defense data. However, I do believe it was stupid to have the server and ignore protocol because I also believe that act caused a the criminal act of mishandling data.

(3,022 posts)would know that isn't what DemocratSinceBirth said. Here's a quote:
would you please tell him the investigation began with a referral from the Benghazi Committee.It is obvious that DemocratSinceBirth realizes referral is straight up horsehocky so DemocratSinceBirth wants to pretend emanate is the same as refer. DemocratSinceBirth is not very clever.

(26,549 posts)The investigation started due to a run-of-the-mill FOIA review when responding to Judicial Watch's FOIA request.
During that review, the DNI's office found classified. The DNI IG referred the matter to the FBI.
Remember back when we were the party that was concerned about accuracy?

(11,366 posts)protocol by setting up a private and unsecure server?
Because that would be the only way a right-winger had anything to do with it's set up.
She brought this on herself by going that route. She's even admitted it wasn't "one of her best decisions."

(11,366 posts)You can Google my comments on this board if you like (there aren't many. I thought the whole thing was dumb).
But what I DO care about is an unsecure email server housing our nation's secrets. You see, I've worked in the cyber security industry for nearly 10 years. I know the score.
Feel free to also Google my transformation into realizing this is a real issue as I learned about the total lack of security measures placed upon her server on this very board.
Maybe if you'd get your head out of the sand and read this timeline, you'll finally understand why this is a very big deal: http://thompsontimeline.com/The_Clinton_Email_Scandal_Timeline
