Right, and I'm not criticizing them, but they're a small company. The level of expertise would not (or at least, should not) compare with that at State Dept's IT services people.

The move really was unjustifiable in every respect. Except one, which was nefarious.

And Comey really laid out the case against her. It was a prima facie case and had he gone to trial with it, it is hard to imagine he would not have gotten a conviction. And she did tell a whole lot of lies along the way, although not under oath.

Lane made her case for it, which I didn't feel held water from a security standpoint. If someone came to you and said, "We need you to set up a server off the State Dept. domain at a location in NY," would you go along with it? I wouldn't, unless there were a very strong reason (e.g., due to traffic patterns an additional subnet were called for, something like that).

Not getting it.

Trump has Barron do all his 'cyber'.
I have a son. He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly doable. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing. But that's true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester, and certainly cyber is one of them.
