Hillary Clinton, who is old enough to be my mom, understands and uses email about as well as my mom does. Good to know.

Both sides do it! The problem is there's only one Democratic candidate acting like rabid assholes, and it ain't Hillary Clinton.

I've used it shooting down stupid FB posts. Its a great opener, then take it from there. Morans don't know how to react when you parody the person you are promoting or defending.

Speaking of the Way Back Machine, I remember when nobody immediately went to i'mright.com but attempted to have reasoned conversations about crucial issues. (Well, maybe not in the U.S,, but I'd like to think so.) This situation is not good for Clinton, and the echo chamber effect on the D side don't help. I'll still vote for her, but ye gads, I contract for the government in IT. In my world, this is sorta huge. Yooog.

Joe, I very much appreciate your focus on the report. I also see the points being brought up by folks responding to your comments (which apparently are now ALLOWED?!?). But I detest partisan dogma by any party (or religious cults for that matter).

And BTW, lest we forget, Joe has been a hilarious commenter here for some time. A long time. Are we really that tribal?

Where in IT is it yoog that some upper management type follows the wrong protocol? They do it all the time and it always turns out it is precisely because no one bothered to explain to them what the protocol is.So then there is another write up, and another training class.

Clinton actually approved email protocol during her time as secretary of state.

Odd.

I am sure she also signed off on what color the drapes should be in the undersecretary's secretary's second bathroom, also, too. And did she sign off on that before, or after, or during?

She did a dumb. It was absolutely a dumb. It was a dumb everyone else was doing. It wasn't, however, a shady dumb. It seems precisely what it was; I'm doing a bajillion things at the same time and this is easier for me.

Also, too, from the link you provided:

The 2005 policy says approved “telework solutions” satisfy the rule, which appears in a section of State Department regulations discussing “sensitive but unclassified” information — an extremely broad category of data. Former officials said a large volume of State Department paperwork and email falls into the swath of information known internally as “SBU.”

and

Clinton said in a tweet Wednesday night that she wants the public to be able to see the emails she turned over to the State Department in December. But the agency said that a review process that includes seeing if the documents contain sensitive information could take some time to complete.

So she is doing bad because things that were not classified when she sent them might be termed that now? One would think she'd be fine with them not releasing it if she was doing horrible Vince Foster things.Yeah, this whole thing is stupid, sorry.
