http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/APFN_US_CLINTON_EMAILS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT- A State Department audit has faulted Hillary Clinton and previous secretaries of state for poorly managing email and other computer information and slowly responding to new cybersecurity risks.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report by the agency's inspector general Wednesday.
It cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to communications. These started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state, but her failures were singled out as more serious.
The review came after revelations Clinton exclusively used a private email account and server while in office. Clinton is now the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
The 78-page report says 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."

(81,897 posts)"The report says she should have printed and saved her emails during her four years in office or surrendered her work-related correspondence immediately upon stepping down in February 2013. Instead, Clinton provided those records in December 2014, nearly two years after leaving office.
The report found that a top Clinton aide was warned in 2010 that the system may not properly preserve records but dismissed those worries, indicating that the system had passed legal muster. But the inspector general said it could not show evidence of a review by legal counsel. "

Worst candidate ever. She should not be anywhere near the White House

(2,348 posts)Does anyone here really think that using a Yahoo mail account (as Rice and Powell did) is any safer than what Hillary was doing? You know, Yahoo, a giant CORPORATION that gets hacked on a daily basis. A for-profit business that hands out golden parachutes had our 'classified' info on their servers, but somehow that is safer than a server very few people knew even existed? Seriously?

(2,493 posts)Used an email account for some limited purpose. Hills exclusively used a private server after being told not to. And neither Powell nor Rice are running for president. AND are you really arguing that Hills should be excused from breaking the rules because some of her predecessors also broke the rules?

Now go clap some more somewhere.
