Hilarry ignored her IT people, and why that's serious. [View all]

So we have a very basic situation outlined in the recent report.

We have IT people, dedicated, knowledgeable, people whose entire job is understanding government security saying, "Uhm, this isn't a secure system."

Then we have Clinton's staff. "Shush, it's approved. And never bring this up again!"

Let's set aside the fact it wasn't approved. At all. The report states, "Even if she had actually asked us, we'd never have approved it."

No viable American company that expects to have a successful business runs this way. At least, not without great cost and grief. They'd get sued out of existence.

So we have a gigantic mess. IT people warned her. The government went, "Uhm, no this isn't ok." And yet, she persisted. Because she didn't want anyone . . . uh, reading her yoga routines. (Anyone who believes a woman of her age is yoga'ing five days a week, raise your hand).

But then, turns out, she was trying to shield how she was undermining President Obama. Sydney Blumenthal and whatnot. I mean, that's a little shitty, right? The President of the United States said, "Oh helllll, no," and Hillary's response was, "Fuck you. I do what I want!"

And all of this is ok with everyone?

She flipped off voters. She flipped off the State Department. She flipped off President Obama. But, nah, that's cool.

I'm straining to find a cabinet member with an ego translating to autonomy, and all I can come up with is Samuel Chase. Sam Chase was a guy who Lincoln appointed to make peace in his party, and Chase undermined him at every possible turn. Chase thought he should've been President, and he tried to build a coalition for future elections from his office in the Treasury.

You tell me.

What on earth was she doing? Kerry is a very good SoS. Hillary pursued her own goals and, by all accounts, pressed an uncertain Obama into disastrous policies.

But, aside from all that. People all around her said, "No, this isn't legal. This is a terrible idea. This is a security fuck up waiting to happen." And what we got was a blatant, "Shut up. Don't mention it. Ever. For reasons."

I have 19 year olds who can figure out what's wrong with her.
