Clinton Broke Federal Rules With Email Server, Audit Finds

[Confounding]

Anyway, I just don't have time to defend her right now

Ah, I see. Well if you find time come back so we can have a discussion.

"The State Department watchdog, in an extensive and detailed report, accused Hillary Clinton of flouting federal records rules and cybersecurity guidelines while secretary of state by exclusively using personal email for government business.

The forthcoming State Department audit faults Clinton and her predecessors for poorly managing email and other computer information.

The 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." It cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to communications that started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state.

But the report singles out Clinton’s failures as more serious.

It specifically accuses her of violating department policy by not giving over emails when she left office."


----------

"Secretary Clinton should have preserved any Federal records she created and received on her personal account by printing and filing those records with the related files in the Office of the Secretary. At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service and, because she did not do so, she did not comply with the Department's policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act."

Non-compliance with State Department rules to ensure the Federal Records Act was obeyed means HILLARY BROKE THE LAW (FEDERAL RECORDS ACT).

------------

"At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service..."

- ALSO, as I have pointed out repeatedly and as this statement above proves, once Hillary stepped down as Secretary of State, being 'read out' of all 'Top Secret' Compartmentalized Programs and having no more requirement to have access to classified information, she was required BY LAW to turn over all classified material in her possession. She did NOT - she broke the law!
** The State Department is very careful to use the term 'e-mails' instead of 'classified material' because part of Hillary's argument is that she never had 'classified' information...and they know this declaration already damages Hillary's defense.

For all the Libs who have been continuously screaming that Hillary did nothing wrong, broke no rules, THE STATEMENT DEPARTMENT JUST SAID, 'YOU'RE WRONG!'

State Dept. audit faults Clinton for email mismanagement

Napolitano: Audit faulting Clinton on emails is 'huge'

 

[Care4all]

from the article:


The audit found that the non-compliance over personal email went beyond Clinton, and that former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Republican, also failed to preserve government-related emails when he was secretary of state.

The State Department asked Powell to try to receive relevant emails from his internet provider, but "as of May 2016 the Department has not received a response" from Powell, the audit said.


Indeed, the report's conclusion cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" in electronic record-keeping "that go well beyond the tenure of any one secretary of state."

Then the net needs to be widened, not thrown away. Agreed?

I think there is a systemic problem in all of government and the ability to communicate and work with one another on only unclassified systems, such as State.gov.

They need to somehow create an email system that can allow these workers to do their job and work with one another, with classified information. An UNCLASSIFIED email system for their daily work is unacceptable.

They also need to develop a way to pull up in the archives, emails by govt worker...meaning, anything written to or from or even cc'd on, should be able to be brought up and pulled out of the archives....

Like, any emails that had Lois Lerner's user name ID on it, should be able to be retrieved in minutes.... so if an individual computer blows up or a govt worker did not send them to the archives like Powell with his personal use and Clinton with hers, the archives can pull up the emails from that person through finding them in other person's filed archives or active emails that were part of the email chains, without having to spend millions of dollars in man power trying to find them all manually.


Doing something like the above, would get to the root of the problem....computer illiterate Clinton, thought that forwarding any of her emails to an aide on the State.gov email system was complying with the archival rules and getting them on the system.... and it was getting them on the State.gov system....only with no way to retrieve them by simply doing a search for her name in all of her aide's files.

I think all of our gov't workers, including Kerry, Senators, Congressmen, and Diplomats need to be reeducated on archival procedures and classified protocol. Obama already strengthened the rules in 2014 I believe?

So if anyone follows along easyt65 poster, soon millions will turn themselves in for prosecution with basis in laws and rules that no one enforces. Mostly, the liberals will likely point that doing so, probably carries religion a bit too far. Conservatives will commence cutting off the various body parts, for whatever rule, whatever deity, required that to happen, forthwith.

State Department acknowledges rule enforcement inconsistency, if any.

then indict both Clinton and powell. Do it.

indict them for what? Breaking a rule?

Remember YOU said she committed Espionage, You said she aided and abetted the enemy, YOU claimed she broke National Security rules and put govt workers at risk, you and right wingers claimed a bunch of crapola your right wing media CREATED to make their own news....

And she simply did not comply with one simple rule that other SOS's didn't comply with either....

Deal with it!

This is a perfect example of what goes around comes around.

Democrats have only themselves to blame for this.

State Dept. watchdog: Clinton violated email rules

The inspector general report is the latest headache for Clinton in the scandal over her exclusive use of private email for State business.

A State Department watchdog concluded that Hillary Clinton failed to comply with the agency’s policies on records while using a personal email server that was not approved by agency officials, according to a report released to lawmakers on Wednesday.

They'll slap her wrist, either before or after the convention, she'll take the nomination, and be on the ticket in November.

I just read it on Bing and it does not look good for her... The best thing Hillary Clinton could do is step aside and clear this mess up and if she did break any laws she need to answer for her mistake.

I know those voting for Clinton will claim there is nothing but there is in my opinion and she can not take this into the general election and need to let Sanders be the Democratic Nominee while like I wrote she take care of this mess...

 

[TheOldSchool]

This problem existed across 5 secretaries of State, and there was no rule or law about it until after Hillary left office. Nothing's changed.

It was for not complying with a RULE not a LAW?

LAWS are legislated by congress, Rules are created by different department heads and the president for various agencies/govt workers and can be changed at any time without congress having to legislate, pass and go on to the President to sign.

I think we on the right can all say together...we told you so. (corrected typo)

Of course nothing will happen to her. The establishment takes care of their own.

CNN is even turning on her. Or more clearly, telling the truth for once. Listen to the video.

Yes I think thats been known for a while.

I'm looking for all that hacking RW'ers said happened. All those lost States Secrets. All those secret secrets!!!


And this is the result?

Gucifer is also in court today promising if he gets a lighter sentence he will spill the beans on how easily Mrs. Tuzla Clinton's email was hacked.

Republican hopes on dreams dangling on the words of a guy named Guccifer. Crazy stuff.

 

[mascale]

So in the matter of this finding, in the report, then the Clintons' get Ronald Reagan Freedom Awards for creating a response to a hacking attack? They were clearly likely using a more secure server instead of what millions use, for example. This below happened twice, and shows probably a more secure server--at a Presidential Level--than a government server with a kazillion messages, likely being read by the entire United Nations on a daily basis. Discretion is the better part of valor, in most findings. Discretion in the matter of the emails seems to have worked.

Mostly, millions are not under investigation for violating email law(?), and Secretary Clinton is mostly under investigation because she is running for President of the United States. The investigation turns up noteworthy asides, like the one below. Where there is haphazard enforcement, then law violation is not an issue, on its face.
