So let's talk about the email BS again ...

This writer manages to cogently explain the mess up that is "TEHEMAILZZZOMGLOCKHERUP" *Controversy*

This article is worth the read, in case you haven't come across it yet..

"IT’S THE NEWS STORY that simply has no end. We’ve been assaulted by the Hillary Clinton email “scandal” all election season, but we have shockingly little understanding of what actually happened. Go from one source to the next, and you’ll hear various explanations on what really went down:

She was openly and brazenly sharing vital U.S. secrets over regular-Joe email, secrets that hackers wanted to get their hands on. And maybe did.
She was deleting thousands of emails to avoid being caught doing something.
She was secretly hosting a server so that the public couldn’t pry into her affairs.
She was exerting megalomaniacal control over all her communications in an attempt to protect her fragile public image.

We have so many opinions about the Clinton email controversy, yet few of us, if really questioned about it, could adequately explain what the fuss is truly about. It doesn’t help that Clinton, herself, has been irritatingly evasive about the ordeal, letting anyone and everyone fill in the blanks for the public. And boy have they.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Americans hate Clinton’s email problem. In a recent poll about which issues voters disliked the most about the two remaining candidates, a whopping 80% of respondents said they were bothered by the email scandal, and of that 80%, 58% were really bothered by it. Conclusion? It’s a big problem for Clinton, and every time it comes up in the news cycle, it drags down her polls — enough that it could very well be threatening what should’ve been a slam-dunk win over Donald Trump.

Okay, so what really happened?

The Clinton email issue is a perfect confluence of inertia, bureaucracy, and the limits of technology in government. It was a bad solution to an even worse problem. How do you marry convenience, speed, secrecy, and accountability into one streamlined government communications package?

You can’t.

Let’s start from the beginning.....

So level with me. How many classified emails went through this server?

2093 ..... 2093? Holy $#@!.
Hold on, that’s 2093 out of 62,320.
Still a lot ... Yes, but out of that 2093, only 110 were classified at the time. 0.17%, or just under two-tenths of a percent.
Still kinda bad that it was on a private server.

Your comedian OP author makes a fine case for the incompetence of one Hillary Clinton as SoS.

Hillarys emails are like herpes ...the gift that keeps on giving

Total waste of time exposing right-wing droolers to the truth.

They couldn't care less about it.

All they want is to install greedy, narrow-minded, chest-thumping bigots in office whose attitudes and greedy, narrow-minded, chest-thumping bigoted views match their own.

The only truth the comedian OP author put forward was the case for an incompetent SoS but the "right-wing droolers" already know that.

I bet you no one can say, with any certainty, exactly and precisely what damage did her email do.

... and don't give me that BS about Benghazi ... the SoS doesn't dispatch Military Forces or Fighter Jets, and obviously they don't do it by emial.

The criminality is in the emails.
It kind of started when she set it up.

Myself,I could probably set up a nice Linux server with a hard firewall that even Russia couldn't hack with their megalo-computer.

And My two computers would probably be with 9-year old cheap computers.Yet still reasonably fast.

And No can say with any certainty, exactly and precisely what damage her email DIDN't do. But here's the rub Cigar, her setup of a private unsecured unencrypted email server to conduct State Dept business on is frighteningly incompetent.

How many times would you like to say, the comedian OP author makes a fine case for the incompetence of one Hillary Clinton as SoS ??
