To gain control of it just like al-qaeda trying to destroy Iran.
Well, I didn't mean I was shocked because a Clinton did it. I was surprised that a government address wasn't automatically given to all government officials. Unless she had a government one too and didn't use it.
I was surprised by his light punishment also. Seems to be a pretty serious offense. He wasn't even doing it for allegedly righteous purposes. It was his mistress. But I haven't seen the extent of the released information.
That's sad.Having been through the process, albeit in a different agency, I'm not too surprised. You might think there would have been a conversation that goes something like "Hello Madame secretary, here's your desk, here's your phone, and lets get you set up for an email address..."...but nothing anywhere near that organized happens. The only surprise for me is that the disorganization apparently goes all the way to the top.
No, it's because she's a shady Democrat.That said, I don't think disorganization is the fundamental reason she did this.
That's sad.

aren't they all? :idunno:

Personally, when it comes to a lack of honesty and ethics in Washington, I do not categorize them by Republican and Democrat, or conservative and liberal; I lump them together as politicians. In that case "all" comes pretty close. By the time politicians arrive in Washington, due to the present state of our bribery, er, I mean lobbying, system is structured (by them), all candidates from both parties are hand selected, bought and paid for. Where bribery and graft used to have legal consequences, they now are not only encouraged, but they have been legitemized into law, confirmed by a crooked judiciary. Honesty will not be tolerated. Disobedience to big donors is the quickest ticket home. Any time attention is drawn to some politician's impropriety I understand that one office is fought over by two similar politicians from different parties, and they will each smear the other so they can gain an advantage by engaging in improprieties themselves. It's a race to the bottom.with a multi-billion-dollar prize for the winners."all" and "none" do not describe anything.
There is nothing unconstitutional about it since it is written into statutory law; and the actual language of the statute grants department chiefs a great deal of discretion in structuring how their department may comply with the statute. What the state department did may very well be technically "legal" according to the statute. When it comes down to court decisions the "spirit" of a law has little value; courts deal primarily with the specific words and sentence structure commonly referred to as the "letter" of the law. A twenty-page court decision frequently hangs on one word and how it is used in a sentence. That is why I posted the relevant statute in an earlier post. The language isn't as specific or restrictive as the National Review would lead you to believe. Yet legal and ethical are two very different things.Of course it isn't disorganization. It is done to hide what they are doing because it is illegal and unconstitutional.

I'm not sure Patraeus's crime was less severe. He did deliberately give classified materials to a journalist. There's no evidence so far that Clinton gave any material to unauthorized people. And the punishment doesn't seem like it was all that severe. It should allow him to start a lucrative career as a Washington insider. He didn't end up like Chelsea Manning.
So Obama can write orders in violation of the law and his department can obey his orders? You crack me up.

1) Starting with your post here, you are not even remotely troubled that Mrs. Clinton has violated the law, in fact like a good liberal you rush to her defense.
I wasn't shocked by it, because this is kinda the Clintons' MO, but sometimes it's a little surprising when people conform so closely to your expectations. And it's not as if this is just some email address she had before. She created the domain name the day she was confirmed. This just shouldn't happen, ever.
I read today that Obama said that he didn't know that Hillary wasn't using non-government email. What, he never received an email from her and saw that it wasn't from a 'gov' domain?? :idunno: How's that possible?
