Congress should release its emails, too

[Onlooker]

Since there's such concern about Hillary's emails, it would be prudent for all Congresspeople to also release all their emails to demonstrate they have not used email to share secret documents, send personal emails, reach out to donors, forward campaign literature, and so on. After all, this fake email scandal has forced Hillary to be the most transparent politician, others should be equally transparent. At least Bernie and the other presidential candidates should release all their emails to show that they are as pure as the driven snow.

1. If they have a private email server then they should. Nt

2. Why just private email servers?

The fact is anything Hillary is accused of can be done from a government email server as well, and God knows from Snowden and Assange, that just because something is run by the government doesn't mean it's particularly secure. If the concerns about Hillary's emails are legitimate, then those concerns should be looked at on government servers as well.

4. A private email server might very well have been more secure. nt

5. You have chosen an argument that I know a considerable amount about.

A private email server can be hacked and no one would ever know.

And I mean no one except the hackers.

Government servers and networks have all sorts of watchdog security.

But yes they can get hacked also.

6. I appreciate your knowledge and experience in the field.

Are you saying it is impossible to build effective firewalls for a private server?

[CdnExtraNational]

8. No of course not.

But if the firewall and surveillance fails it would be the Clinton's fault.

If these fail on a government server then it would be the fault of an IT group of people who all have credentials in handling systems with classified information.

I wouldn't recommend allowing this for an employee of a company with intellectual property considerations.
She was the Secretary of State.

10. Right, so my question is, how well was her private server protected?

It would seem to be an important part of the conversation, but I haven't heard anything about it.

[Nitram]

3. Exactly, Onlooker.

Let's see how exceptional Clinton really was.

[B Calm]

7. I been thinking that all along! They all have private e-mail, who in hell do think they are

fooling?

9. Are they all running for President?

News to me.

Do they all maintain private servers?

News to me.

You just don't like it that her own actions caused problems that continue to plague her.

Deal with it.

[Onlooker]

11. Yes, the way to deal with it ...

... is to demand the same of others. If the "concern" is that she has abused security, then let's check the emails of others, at least those of the presidential candidates. Just because they use a government server doesn't mean they haven't sent out classified info, or violated the law by using their government email for campaign purposes.

[Nitram]

13. I'm afraid, #2002, you are the one who will have to deal with the disappointment...

...when all your sound a fury goes out with a whimper.

12. I'm more interested in communication between Sanders and Shumlin.

Blatant pay to play politics. Something Sanders speaks out against even after it has become clear to the masses he is knee deep in it.

14. But would that end racism?
