In reply to the discussion: Game Changer? "FBI Confirms They Will Question Hillary Clinton" [View all]HooptieWagon
(17,064 posts)37. I think deliberately conducting State business on an insecure server is willfull and gross negligeng
She was provided a secure account to use, which she refused to use. She didn't inform State Dept she was using her own server, thus they didn't inspect the security measures in place. The security in place on the server appears amateurish at best...for a period of time in 2013 there was no security at all. During that period of time, classified emails were stored on the server, after she signed a statement that she had turned over emails to the State Dept. She then ordered a partial deletion of emails in deliberate violation of the Records Act.

Thanks for the reply. Assuming that was the case with Nixon (which does sound plausible),

I suspect the Repukes pounced on Bill and Hill back in the '90s BECAUSE of Watergate

The perception of wrongdoing is often as damaging is the reality of wrongdoing. Drip, drip, drip.

Of course those courteous and kindly Republicans won't say anything about an FBI investigation.
