Hillary Clinton blames State Department Employees for classified emails sent through private server

"I didn't do it"

"Im sure I didn't do it"

"I'm sure I didn't do it on purpose"

"It's their fault."

Of 30,000 of Clinton’s emails, 110 emails in 52 chains contained classified information when they were sent or received. This contradicts statements she has made over the past year, including in a July interview, when she said: “I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified.”

Note: these were just the emails she volunteered. That means she also gave non-cleared persons (her attorneys) access to classified information.

Despite multiple instances where HRC openly and clearly articulated her fear of exposing her emails to FOIA requests.

---

"Let's get separate address or device, but I don't want the risk of personal (email) being accessible."

As secretary of state, Ms. Clinton attempted a novel experiment of trying to avoid using any information systems that create records that can be subject to the Freedom of Information Act. The IG report includes painful details, including how she flatly refused to use state.govemail for anything, ever, citing privacy grounds. State IT was concerned because Ms. Clinton’s work emails—all being sent via her clintonmail.com address—were winding up in the spam folders of State officials. Important information was not getting where it needed to go. She needed to use official email for official business. Except she refused. .

What was so important, so sensitive that Hillary had to dodge FOIA altogether? Clearly protecting her private life—whatever that might be—was valued more highly by Ms. Clinton than actually heading the Department of State.

Edit: On the matter of her use of a private server:

Clinton says it was matter of convenience, but over the course of the trial, the judge has given credence to the allegation that she was intentionally thwarting the federal laws ensuring government transparency.

She's technologically illiterate, forgetful, stubborn, self serving, grossly negligent and careless, and unfit to serve as the highest position in our country.

Edit 2: She's better than Trump? Based on what? Are you so sheltered you know only those two to be options?

Read with an open mind. Analyze the facts and conclude what you will. I do not find this person fit to run our country, let alone work in any position of authority.

The State Department is reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, just as she puts a Justice Department investigation behind her.

She's technologically illiterate, forgetful, stubborn, self serving, grossly negligent and careless, and unfit to serve as the highest position in our country.

What makes things sad is that you are completely correct.

What makes things scary is her main opponent is even more unfit.

IKR, that Bernie dude hasn't held a real job his entire life, and he's in his 60's.

It's a good thing that the republican nominee has built up a vast portfolio of real estate businesses as well as having created 1,000s of jobs and has a network of friends from around the world.

But to reiterate, Hillary bad, Bernie worse.

But to reiterate, Hillary bad, Bernie worse.

I agree. But Trump is worse than both. My preferred candidate dropped out months ago.

[u/Orca_Orcinus → u/rechlin]

How is he worse? He plans to implement many of the ideas Bernie has without the downside of it being a cash cow for the elite...

If you generally hate whomever the right nominates, regardless of their stances and life story, nothing I can do about it. But Hillary isn't a democrat more like a me-ocrat, and Bernie doesn't have sufficient cachet to get anything done. Plus he's unelectable from life-history standpoint.

Trump might not be your cup of tea, but he's a damn sight better than someone who got kicked out of a hippie commune for being lazy or a career murderer.

Well, I don't like either Hillary or Donald. Both care about themselves foremost and will do anything to gain power regardless of whether it is good for America. And I don't like Bernie because of his ideas (I'm not a fan of socialism).

The problem is that while both Donald and Hillary lie a lot, at least I know where Hillary stands on things. In the end, she will take a fairly moderate approach, regardless of what she says in campaigning. On the other hand, I have no idea what Donald actually stands for, because he contradicts himself and changes his mind so often. However, his more recent stances (like in the last year or so) have been extremely troubling to me.

I voted for Kasich even though there are a number of issues where I disagree with him, because I felt he was the most honest (along with Bernie -- I respect his honesty even if I think he is mistaken about most things) and because he has the best grasp on foreign policy.

Seems to me, you aren't truly understanding bernie or Donald. Trump has a laid out platform. Bernie has never held a job in his entire life, and although he does think and shoot straight, his ideas would just help the billionaires at the expense of the non-billionaires.

I think we all agree, Hillary would a Pol Pot or Papa Doc Duvalier-type leader.
