Your use of the Hatch Act to justify unsecured servers and unsecured email that was used for government purposes is amazing. After one of Bush's guys was caught exposing a CIA operative we learned they had private servers and they deleted tens of millions of email.

When Rice was Sec.of State she and her staff never used a secure phone and it wasn't a scandal. Within the past few weeks, we learned that cell phones were banned from the West Wing. There are pictures of Trump and others using cell phones at a dinner. None of those phones were secure and could be used as listening devices.

Just the other day we learned Kellly's phone was compromised (and caused all cells to be banned) and had been compromised for many months while he was in the WH. Again, not a scandal.

On 9/11 cells were ordered to be shut off on AF1 after the attacks on the trade centers. Why did they have cells on AF1 when they can be tracked and used as listening devices? And why wasn't it a policy to shut them off and secure them the second they boarded AF1? No scandal.

Finally, we're not discussing the real issue. The government has only one cell phone that is safe and it's the one the president uses. We know Obama used it. We don't know if Trump does.Why hasn't congress spent it's time getting decent and secure phones for government employees? One reason...gross incompetence.
