Anyone want to see the REAL reason Hillary maintained a private email server at State?

Chelsea Manning stole, among other things, 250,000 State Department cables while stationed in Iraq. If Chelsea Manning could do this, probably a lot of OTHER people did as well.

In short, if you were the Secretary of State you would have to be out of your fucking mind to put your sensitive data on a system accessible to SIPRnet. Which is why Secretaries Powell, Rice and Clinton didn't.

2. Sounds like a good reason to me. Especially since there isn't

Any evidence of any hacking.

3. Oh ya, and Hillary was very alarmed at the time. eom

4. This is the strangest thing to me...

We know Manning ran off with...well, pretty much anything she could lay her little hands on that was classified SECRET or below. Edward Snowden is a different story: That cocksucker stole, among other things, the National SIGINT Requirements List - which is the NSA gamebook. This document has two interesting traits: it is huge, and there isn't one person in the entire world who's legitimately seen the whole thing. They are THAT concerned about it. Comrade Eddie, OTOH, just sat down one day and copied all the pieces. But you ask the "throw Hillary in prison" crowd about Snowden and Manning..."they blew the whistle on the government so everything they did was fine."

So let's get this straight.

Steal gigabytes of heavily classified information and throw it up on the public Internet so every enemy agent in the world can download it with a few clicks of his mouse...fine and dandy.

Put in a private e-mail server just like the one the last two Secretaries of State had to keep shit away from the guys stealing that information...hang her by the neck until she is dead, dead, dead.

6. Well said. I also find it passing strange.

7. Yeah, I never understood how those two groups were the same people...

but then I realized they just hate Clinton. They don't give a rats ass
about national security, even the things that have pretty damn
legitimate reasons to be hidden...but any chance they have to (try)
to take down Clinton, they're all for it. Why do you think they're
so willing to parrot RW talking points? It's because the enemy
of their enemy is their friend, and they just don't care.

So in the end, they wind up taking plays from the worst aspects
of US foreign policy..."enemy of my enemy"...and end up looking
like the things they so criticize. "I am become my own enemy."

Sounds familiar...kinda Reagen-y....that CONTRAintuitive bastard.
