So she's saving taxpayer money by not using up space on government servers?
You're welcome.
Breaking news story here and a potential presidential bid killer.
Once again the liberal media is silent on the subject!

My reference was too obscure - something I'm too often guilty of. I was referring the powers that be that are slowly releasing the dirt they have on her attempting to keep her out of the race. They are working smarter than is typical. Instead of blowing their load all at once, they are dribbling it out just fast enough to keep her gasping for breath. At this point she's got to be wondering just how much they have on her.Apparantly Clinton's spending twenty five years standing in front of the rightwing shit nozzle wasn't enough for you? I'd rather she not run as she is far too conservative for my taste but to claim the media has been handling her with gloves is ridiculous.
Because that worked so well with Benghazi? Because there is no history of these people purposefully destroying email records and trying to prevent their recovery. Because Hillary didn't use her personal account because she forgot her work email password. This is a willful and deliberate attempt to obstruct justice and possibly destroy or withhold evidence.
Justice should not rely on Hillary's staff deciding which emails to turn over and/or her email not getting hacked and national secrets being leaked.
This is not much ado about nothing.
derp
In the case of Powell and Rice email was just being accepted as part of everyday communication so I would give both of them a pass.
Rules were more explicitly defined by the time we got to Clinton

A report by Michael Tomasky in The Daily Beast, however, cast a heavy dose of skepticism over the Times' reporting on the regulation that required officials to preserve email communications. A State Department official told Tomasky that employees were told in October 2014 that personal email should generally not be used for government business, but if it is, communications must be forwarded to a government account in order to be appropriately preserved. Clinton left the Department prior to that, in February of 2013, however.
"So if these new regulations went into effect after she left State, then what rule did she violate, exactly? And, if this is true, why did the Times not share this rather crucial piece of information with its readers? No one could possibly argue that this fact isnt germane to the story. Its absolutely central to it. Why would the Times leave it out?" wrote Tomasky.
Media Matters, a liberal watchdog group whose chairman David Brock is a top Clinton ally, echoed the sentiment by noting that President Barack Obama only amended the Presidential and Federal Records Act on November 26, 2014. "Among the 'major points' in the 2014 law highlighted by the National Archives was: 'Clarifying the responsibilities of Federal government officials when using non-government email systems,'" the group wrote. Bloomberg also followed up Tuesday, writing that the "measure wasnt in effect when Clinton served in the administration."
Clinton's email account was hosted on a personalized domain, clintonemail.com, and was reportedly registered on the day of her confirmation hearing in January 2009. While former Secretary of State Colin Powell also used a personal email account to conduct some official business, current Secretary of State John Kerry is the first department chief to primarily use his government account.
Ummm, just so you know - the Clinton Admin was BEFORE Powell and Rice served (in the Bush II admin).

Not a fan of Hilary. But I think people should wait for more reporting on this story. Hearing the Reporter who wrote the piece's interview on Morning Joe didn't inspire much confidence in what he wrote and why he wrote it.
yeah it looks like the real scandal is that the state depts. rules are so lax and terrible
I think I remember when Bill Clinton had this session on TV or whatever when he was conversing with people on the Internet and it was revealed he had never used the Internet. You people have very limited memory.
I read she hosted the email account from her servers in her house? WTF? That is absolutely crazy at how insecure that is.
Apparently it's rather common as jeb bush did the same thing. I don't understand it myself but whatever.
It looks like at most clinton violated archiving rules by not storing copies of her emails on government servers. Apparently until 2014 it was ok to use a non government email system so long as certain rules were followed.
This story appears to be fizzling.
Yep. Hillary's supporters mostly want her to lie to them and break the law. Just as long as it's for their own good, of course.Rumor has it that Hillary will announce her candidacy next month. Another month to release more dirt. It's all meaningless anyway. The public is too stupid to pay attention and will vote for her no matter what. Hell, in a recent street survey, when told that Obama was endorsing an "economic adviser to the Obama administration for many years" Karl Marx for president, the majority of respondents were all for it.
I have a huge problem with what she did (and with State in general) but is this really that insecure? Surely Secret Service continually mans her house (to avoid someone slipping in to plant a command-detonated bomb) and also monitors the security of her phone and data lines. Physically this is probably more secure than at State, where many people would have physical access to the server.I read she hosted the email account from her servers in her house? WTF?

Kudos to the NYT for reporting it. Kudos to Shane for not excusing it. Other than that, meh; we're largely beyond powerful public officials being in any way accountable to the public or to the law except for taking direct bribes. This will not change if and when the Pubbies get into the White House.
As it should. She had a choice- to exercise total information control over her emails or leave them for every fringewhack Hillary hater in the country to later quote selectively & use for their own purposes. She chose wisely.
Security? Mission Accomplished!
Issa a long, hot Summer ahead of us.
