Your quote supports my comment. Having an unsecure system doesn't translate into not being able to detect it. That's why he said "likely".

I am not avoiding the "real issue". This is an issue. The mis-classification of documents, is another, separate, and in my opinion moderately less damning one.
Which only solidifies that you don't understand how this works. The classification IS the issue. Securing the system is and will always be second. You having classified information on a fully secured unclassified network is much worse than having classified information in an unsecure classified network. That is a fact.

I was being facetious here, because it was funny to me that Jophiel doesn't appear to care about the security of diplomatic cables, but then cares a lot about hackers and whistle-blowers revealing the poorly secured information publicly. I implied that if there was just quietly hacked he'd be broadly OK with it, because it lets the Democratic establishment save face.

Also, I'm not "confusing the security of the system with the security of the information"; that's an nonsensical conclusion.
You say that you're not confusing the security of the system with the security of the information, but says that Jophiel doesn't appear to care about the security of information because of his opinion on the email scandal, while being concerned about revealing secured information. That is literally what you are doing. The two that you are comparing are not contrary to each other.


I really don't know how to explain this any clearer to you. Sorry.

How about correctly? There's a lot of stuff in the world that I don't know, but MY GOD, I LIVE THIS EVERYDAY. It is my job. Unless you have some insight, then you are mistaken. Man up and own it.

When you claim that the a spillage is second to an unsecured system, then you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

I am talking about my concerns with Hilary, not my concerns with the State Dept. in General.

Using a system without any of the recommended security is a choice which demonstrates poor judgement and or lack of technical knowledge.

Telling someone to send to just **** it and send classified documents through that insecure, non-classified system shows this as well

Having it standard practice not to properly mark documents with their classification label, leading to people putting things through systems not intended for that classification level is also a serious problem that should be fixed, but it is endemic to the State Department, according to the report. I don't pin as much of the blame here on Hillary, as a whole clown car of people contributed to that **** up.

My point is, that someone's personal actions and choices the things of concern in evaluating someone's competence for a role. I don't see why you keep throwing out "well there were other problems at the state department that show there were tons of incompetent people, so why not focus on that". We aren't evaluating Joe, the document control handler who chugged mai tais instead of labeling documents, for the Presidency.

I have a saying, there's a difference between taking responsibility for an action vs being responsible for an action. That doesn't directly apply here as she was responsible for some of the actions, but the point is, as a leader, she has to take responsibility for what the state department did. That's part of being a leader. However, that's not the same as being responsible for the perennial State Department issues. The rules are written the way they are for a reason. That reason includes the likelihood of a spillage occurring. In cases like these, it almost always end up with people trying to be more efficient. This is evident given that the State Department server was compromised and not reliable.

Now if you want to criticize her foreign policy decisions, that is legitimate criticism. Criticizing her for doing the norm and not realizing incorrectly marked emails is not a legitimate criticism. So, I don't see how this plays into judging her for president. Do you believe as president that she will use her personal server again? On the other hand, if she is "too hawkish" now, then she'll probably be "too hawkish" then. You see the difference?

Again, that's not what I'm criticizing. I don't know where you keep fabricating these things from. I am criticizing the decision to set up a non-secure server to handle her emails instead of using the state department provided system, which was ostensibly secure and designed to handle the types of correspondence she was routinely dealing with. I don't know which is worse, if she did not understand why this would be a problem, or if she knew it was not secure and just didn't care. I don't see how that possibly isn't "a legitimate criticism".

How many times do I have to say that the state department server was COMPROMISED and unreliable. Her having a server was obviously not an issue since EVERYONE knew about it, as stated by the FBI and common sense. Again, you're focusing on the wrong stuff. The unsescure server is not the issue. The spillage is the issue.

So, not only was the state department server compromised and unreliable, but everyone knew that she had an unsecure server, and used it to conduct secret* business?

I guess my fears were overblown.

You're saying that she used bad judgement for using an existing well known and reliable network in order to get work done as opposed to a compromised unreliable network. Smiley: dubious

Sigh, she is so lucky she has T as her opponent this time around. I would complain more, but nothing really changed. I already heard pplz on D side declare that his is pure hogwash -- just like Bengazi. Good job Rs. Good job.

That's, like, two days ago news.

I'm not sure what angle I'm supposed to be approaching the "smashed with a hammer" story from. Am I supposed to be outraged that they destroyed the phone or "lol they used a hammer"? 'Cause physical destruction of media is usually about the most effective means of stopping it from being read -- assuming they smashed the storage and didn't just crack the screen and call it good.

In other HRC news, I just received this t-shirt in the mail from Smash. Between that, my Clinton Paper Doll book and my Clinton "Funko Pop!" brand figure, I think Smash plans on drowning me in Clinton merchandise.

Number 1 above is kinda amazing (and shows just how little she appears to have been qualified for or even cared about her job as SoS, other than as a means of padding her resume). Um... So because the subject line (which is commonly edited and changed during email exchanges) doesn't contain a "C" marking, she's in the clear, despite the content containing it? Was this what was meant by "partial markings" in the investigation? Cause if so, that's... not remotely excusable.

Does she really think that simply changing the subject line of an email magically makes the content no longer classified? I'm again and still baffled at what appears to be a conscious desire to just not follow the bread crumbs on this (by anyone at Justice it appears). I'll make the same point I made with the whole bs Valerie Plame thing. The point at which a crime is committed is when someone who is inside the circle of secrecy moves secret information from within that circle to outside of it. Now, it's entirely possible that these changes were made prior to Clinton receiving the documents via email, but then maybe someone should be following that chain back to find out how they got outside a secured environment and into someone else's email server? Even if you rabidly want to protect Clinton from potential fallout for being associated with this, maybe these investigators should care about protecting their nations secrets even more than her political career?

Just a thought. It honestly bothers me more than the appearance of protection of Clinton. It's that in the process of doing that, they don't seem to want to look into how this happened in the first place and maybe prevent it from happening next time. If this really is just "the way things are done", then IMO there's a serious need for housecleaning at State. Heck. We're more careful with intellectual property in the private sector than they are with national security. And that's sad.

Yes, you men see to fall apart at the thought of a Strong woman being in a position of power and have to try to tell us why we can't be due to faults that actually would get praised if we were men. (except Joph, he's good in my book and that due to marrying a Strong Woman who won't take **** from him.)

Well I am one women that had enough and from now until Nov. 8th I will yell from every forum I am on praising her for all she great things she has done. Stop believing all the lies that have been made about her. She has done more for advancing the rights of children the poor and disable then anyone currently in Congress. I know I am not a good writer, so when I feel better, I'll flood you with Jim Wright of Stonekettle Station and David Garrold's essays about how not to drink the Repub's cool-aid.

By the way listening to the token blacks that Trumps and the GOP have pull out of the wood work, I can't imagine them surviving much longer after the election.

Good Night. I broke 2 bones yesterday and will be laid up in bed until both are healed. Seem in getting old and disable I increase my clumsiness to +4. I broke off a small chip on left ankle and a bone in my right foot yesterday. So for the next 6 weeks may have nothing to d but read and post post online, between visits to doctors.

Oh and I am getting new glasses, have cataracts in both eyes and they seem to find more things for me to see new doctors for each time I fall. This is 3th fall since May 24th. if I ever get enough posts to earn a Title, I think it should be Clumsy +4.






I'm also started writing story of my life. Thankfully I know editors willing to take trying to tackle my prose. When editors for major publishers like Baen and Tor are saying I need to write a book or two, I guess I really should. now to find an agent..
