>>She didn't do the equivalent of any of the things you list...the material that passed through her server was banal and unclassified at the time...I worked for IBM for 30 years...I can't tell you the non sense that got classified during and after the fact...silly stuff. The question isn't what was classified or when it was classified. The problem is the existence and daily use of a mail server that was not properly secured. Lots of material is classified that you and I may think is unnecessarily so. It isn't our call. It was Clinton's responsibility to understand that any email item coming into that server must be presumed classified until it is determined not to have been. You may not know much about IT systems but you do know enough to be able to understand this.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!! Yeah...those satellite photos of NK military facilities on her server were clearly not classified.....NOT Proving the point again that only the mentally impaired would even consider voting for Hillary.

Al, I worked for IBM for 30 years...I can't tell you the non sense that got classified during and after the fact...silly stuff. Then you should appreciate the trouble that is caused when some employee goes outside of the system and does his or her own thing when it comes to electronic security. It's a massive headache to figure out what info was exposed and how much risk that represents to IBM's intellectual property. And IBM has to do its due diligence if it wants any of its patents to hold up. Otherwise the courts can and will invalidate any patent IBM has in a dispute, because the owner of a patent has responsibilities to safeguard it. This is why I consider Hillary's e-mail scandal to be relevant. It doesn't matter how much classified info existed in her e-mails. In fact, if I had to bet, I'd bet that the amount of sensitive info that got exposed to our rivals wasn't all that much. But that's not the point. The fact is that she broke the law, in spirit if not in letter (though I believe she also broke the letter). As a result, the State Department has to spend an extraordinary amount of time and resources to figure out how much damage she did and how much risk this represented to the security and welfare of our nation. All because she "didn't want to carry around multiple devices." Yeah, right. Tenchusatsu
