In reply to the discussion: MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell: Clinton Using Private Email ‘Stunning Breach of Security’ [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)35. I know--she belted him with a lamp (allegedly) but did no permanent harm.
Now THAT takes some serious skill! A lesser person would have cut or bruised him!
Seriously, though--I agree with you that she is an amazing human being. Her accomplishments are amazing, she is smart as hell, dedicated as hell, takes more shit than any ten Senators or cabinet members, and just keeps on keeping on, no matter how vicious people are to, or about, her.
I think she's just fine. I don't 'get' the envy.

In tennis, they call these "unforced errors." Yet another political gift to Rethuglians.

Excellent point. If nothin else, we lose using that issue to further weaken Walker. That wud be regrettable.

I don't think it has been confirmed by reputable reporting. Apparently, WashPo & NYT are still investigatin the story, so to be fair, we need to wait before passin final judgment.

Encryption requires specific set up on both ends of an email (for every recipient).

It was stupid in the extreme & tees up the obvious argument that Hillary lacks judgment in security matters, showin she's not Presidential material.

That's an interesting "twist" (pun intended) to the security issue, though if Hillary offers that as a possible explanation, not sure that's going to fly with most people. Maybe; we'll see.

Apparently, like the rule against government officials' use of personal email to conduct non-emergency govt business, there's an exception for Hillary. Didn't you get the memo?
