State Dept audit faults Clinton in emails

[The Straight Story]

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

1. As expected

This is the outcome - "do better in the future".

2. This Friday's document dump will probably be a doozy. Always the Friday before a holiday weekend.

3. And the system at the State Department has changed.

They found weaknesses, so they fixed them.

4. So Clinton was told her private server wasn't appropriate

But ignored that fact and proceeded anyway. To me that says a lot about Hills - she seems to consistently think that the rules don't apply to her.
