Hillary Guilty In Email Fiasco

[Mike]

Guilty by the Inspector General of the Dept. of State.

Hillary Clinton disregarded various State Department guidelines for avoiding cybersecurity risks, an internal audit found Wednesday.

The inspector general's 78-page analysis, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to the agency's communications. These started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state, but her failures were singled out as more serious.

Despite guidelines to the contrary, Clinton used mobile devices to conduct official business on her personal email account and private server. She never sought approval from senior information officers, who would have refused the request because of security risks, the audit said.

"By Secretary Clinton's tenure, the department's guidance was considerably more detailed and more sophisticated," it concluded. "Secretary Clinton's cybersecurity practices accordingly must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives."

Clinton has been dogged by questions about her email practices for more than a year, since the AP revealed that the clintonemail.com server was in the basement of Clinton's New York home while she served as the nation's top diplomat from 2009 to 2013. It's also been raised as an issue in her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Separately from the State Department audit, FBI agents have been probing whether Clinton's use of a private email server imperiled government secrets.

Clinton has acknowledged in the campaign that her homebrew email setup was a mistake, but said she never sent or received anything marked classified at the time.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the agency is "already working" to improve its email and records management system.

Toner said "it is clear that the department could have done a better job preserving emails and records of secretaries of state and their senior staff going back several administrations." He said the State Department also agrees that compliance with its rules has been "inconsistent across several administrations."

The independent review by the department's inspector general was prompted by the revelations of Clinton's email use, but the audit also encompassed the email and information practices of the last five secretaries.

The report said the department and its secretaries were "slow to recognize and to manage effectively the legal requirements and cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications, particularly as those risks pertain to its most senior leadership."

I did receive the following in an EMAIL. Read at your own risk and decide for yourself if it is true:
U.S. Code Title 18, Section 2017
So Much Wrong and So Few Seem to Care

Word for word from the Cornell Law Library

Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey tells MSNBC that not only is Hillary Clinton's private email server illegal, it "disqualifies" her from holding any federal office.

Such as, say, President of the United States. Very specifically points to one federal law, Title 18. Section 2071.

For those of us who do not have United States Code committed to memory, here's what it says:
"(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term "office" does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States."

Yes, it explicitly states "shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States."

Shouldn't voters know that? The media won't tell them. So it's up to us. Can you help hold Hillary accountable? Pass this on, please.

Now !! Does anyone believe that this will make a difference ??

just a note!

Now if Hillary is allowed to run for an office of any kind, it will show us that the Washington D.C. establishment is so much more corrupt than we thought.

After reading this, is my theory that Biden will be the liberal's nominee in November so farfetched?

 

[Brad S]

Not far fetched at all - it may be the only play left for them. Biden is like-able but can't stand more than last minute scrutiny. Fake with Hillary then build up Biden as a savior. Right now, Biden makes more sense than "everybody hates Hillary"

 

[Mike]

Too late for Biden to get on the ballot in all 50 states? The deadline cut-off is June in some states........................

What would happen to the delegates from each state that are "bound" to Hillary & Bernie? Since the delegate rules are written by the Party in each state and are different in each state, it would take 100 Philadelphia lawyers to figure it out.

all they need is a few New Jersey judges.. (sarcasm)

Late in an increasingly competitive race against Republican Doug Forrester in 2002, Torricelli suddenly withdrew after disclosure of illegal contributions to his campaign by David Chang, a businessman connected to North Korea.[10] Torricelli had previously denied this and a number of other charges. In his withdrawal speech on September 30, 2002, he stated that despite leaving public office in a different way than he had planned, he was proud of his service. Shortly thereafter, the New Jersey Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Democratic Party could legally replace Torricelli's name on the ballot with that of former U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg,[11] ironically a longtime Torricelli nemesis, with whom he had often publicly feuded. New Jersey Republicans had contested the Torricelli–Lautenberg swap on the grounds that the deadline for ballot changes had long passed.

the law lost lost... precedence set.. democrat elected (illegally)

I wouldn't be surprised by anything from the democrats at this point...

As an Observer, does anything happen, or does the American political system slips a little bit more towards the drain?

 

[W.T]

It slips a little closer to the drain.

 

[Mike]

The drain has been stopped up for a while.

 

[W.T]

She's stuck!
