It is the flagrant skirting of public records law, not security, that is the problem.

[morningfog]

The violations of public records law seem to be the more serious violation. There were intentional steps taken by Hillary and her inner circle to skirt those laws. There were lies told by Hillary and her inner circle after the fact. These efforts were in bad faith and two federal judges have found evidence of intentional violations with respect to the public record law.

We know now the private server was, at least in part, to protect and maintain control over the personal email communications.

The security issue, although it sounds more serious, lacks the intentionality, as far as I can tell. It also lacks evidence of any harm done. I don't put any stock in guccifer's claims.

But intentionally hiding public records is a problem. The obvious question is, what is she hiding? The thing is, we will almost certainly find out. And it's going to be a liability for the Dems.

1. She turned over 30,000+ emails

How is that skirting (to use your biased term) the law?

[morningfog]

2. She self selected and turned over 55,000 to state.

She retained deleted 30,000 which she claimed were personal. Ther is no way for state to verify that there are no federal records in those 30,000.

7. There is no requirement to turn over personal email

Sad to see you're moving the goalposts.

[morningfog]

8. You don't understand goal posts.

she sled selected and there is not way for State to determine what was personal and what was government.

She was required to give everything from the private account that she used for government, but did not.

There is no way to verify whether state has all of her government records and that is by her design.

3. She lied when she claimed that all work-related email had been turned over.

Just wanted to Correct the Record.

11. She lied. The Hillies eat it up as truth.

[840high]

4. imo - she did not

want emails pertaining to Foundation exposed.

[morningfog]

5. We will find out. Federal judges will be deciding whether to

order the personal emails released.

I assume the FBI had already recovered them.

6. She is, by disposition, Richard Nixon.

The laws don't apply to me, because I have a greater calling.

12. HRC supporters running around with their hair on fire... screaming

"she dint break laws... she broke RULES! There's a difference!"

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. The NDA she signed, which is admittedly an "agreement"

Lays out the penalties for violating it.

9. The public records law was expanded to specifically include emails in 2014 -- after she left State.

So there goes that argument.

[morningfog]

14. And you haven't read the report. You are ignorant on this.

[pnwmom]

19. The report doesn't change the fact that the public records act was amended in 2014

to specifically include emails.

[morningfog]

21. Read pages 22-25, including footnotes and get back to us.

She violated the public records law. And it seems to have been intentional.

[lumberjack_jeff]

18. Can you please direct us to the paragraph in her non-disclosure agreement

http://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/HRC-SCI-NDA1.pdf

Which exempts emails, as not being "sensitive information", and thus not subject to the penalties defined therein?

BTW, it also gives the government the right to collect the cost of investigation from Clinton should she lose.

20. Setting legality aside...

What other reason would you suggest for the implementation of the server other than to avoid public transparency?

[uponit7771]

10. who cares? tia

[TwilightZone]

13. You mean the laws that changed after she left State?

Those laws?

Pretty hard for her to skirt them if they didn't exist. What, now she has a time machine?

[morningfog]

15. The laws in place when she was at state. Don't play dipshit.
