I'm Sorry
Song by Brenda Lee

I'm sorry, so sorry
That I was such a fool
I didn't know
E-mail could be so cruel
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, yes
You tell me mistakes
Are part of being SOS
But that don't right
The wrong that's been done
I'm sorry
(So sorry) So sorry
Please accept my apology
But E-mail is blind
And I was too blind to see
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, yes
You tell me mistakes
Are part of being SOS
But that don't right
The wrong that's been done
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, yes
I'm sorry, so sorry
Please accept my apology
But E-mail was blind
And I was too blind to see
(Sorry)

I'm more interested in what "I take responsibility for it" means in terms of actions and corrections. Admitting it and taking responsibility for it are two different things. I don't even know what taking responsibility for security breaches even means really - how do you put the rabbit back in the hat?

in any case, admitting it and apologizing is always the best political option she has

As a former IT professional, I'd have to say that her personal server, with no oversight, was a pants-on-the-head stupid decision, and trying to justify it as ok for so long, almost as stupid. 10 years earlier that might not have been the case; standards weren't as well established.

But at least some formal oversight, criminy!

I'd hate to have to choose between her and the Donald, or Cruz.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Is there some sort of government information protection procedure that her aids, lawyers, IT guy, anyone who had physical access to the hardware had to follow? It seems like there were a alot of hands all over this information. Would they not also have to have a government clearance, or do they?

Bottom line is she is NOT an IT professional... and the fact her email address was very well known by thousands.. and still no one in a position of IT Security pointed it out IF it was supposedly such a breach of security.

Delegation in large organizations means executives do not have to deal with menial tasks..... But the menial minds outside of that reality can't seem to grasp that sort of reality.:S:S:S

I've been working at several national laboratories and other government entities for nearly 40 years, and worked with classified material for much of it.

If I may share a few insights:

Government servers are not slow.

Claiming incompetence/ignorance is not a plausible defense. Anyone handling classified matter has tons of REQUIRED training and signs NDA's.

By operating outside of the system, she bypassed all safeguards, protections, protocols, oversights and auditing.

Blatant, numerous violations of 18 US Code 793 & several Presidential Orders. Possibly some International Agreements & Atomic Energy Act of 1954- depending on category, classification & Sigma of documents involved.

Anyone (authorized) that received emails containing classified information from her would know this was illegal and would be required to report it.

For the standard "Worker Bee", absolutely.
There is virtually no way that classified material could "accidentally" be mishandled.

But HRC is "special." First Lady, Senator, SecState.
NONE of those are "ordinary" positions. And most people who hole those positions feel that the "normal rules" don't apply to them.
And in many (most?) cases, they don't.

I would like to know what "Take full responsibility" means.
Does that mean she is going to give up any and all security clearances? Or attend remedial classes on how to handle classified material?
Or is it just something convenient to say that means about the same as what any politician usually says...

Nothing.

As a "worker bee", I would expect to be:
1. Stripped of all clearances/accesses
2. Fired
3. Barred from any future government employment
4. Arrested and charged with the aforementioned violations, and very likely espionage as well. If convicted, $250k fine, up to 10yrs jail for each offense under 18 USC 793.
5. Wishing I were in politics, instead of research

There are serious reasons for the harsh punishments for violations, and in addition to the statutory issues I would pose the following questions:

What actual harm was done to the national security?

What other nations will no longer share classified information with us because of this?

Who else knew about this when it was happening, and didn't blow the whistle THEN?

Have any people died as direct result of the data breach?

Because of the attempted cover up efforts, DOJ may never know the full extent of the security breach. Would it therefore be prudent to assume that ALL classified information that HRC was privy to during her tenure as SoS has been compromised?

I'm good with that.

I also do not want to have to pick between Hillary or the Donald. Me and 300M other citizens

The ammunition that Hillary has handed to the GOP is trumped only by what the other guy has given to the democrats.



you used the word 'trumped'

I think this particular 2 person arms race is pretty much even - idiotically so

fortunately, the dems have a couple other old white and crazy alternate options - and the Reps have a couple options that think the clerk in Kentucky is right

comedians and cartoon writers the nation over will have good job security for the next couple years

Speaker's Corner is safe for awhile too in terms of a supply of politicians to bash and/or unreasonably support just so we can randomly irritate each other.

At no other time have the participants in speakers corner agreed with one another more than they do with regards to HRC and DT.

C'mon folks we're all just supposed to believe that she just didn't want to have to handle multiple devices to handle multiple email accounts. Because ya know, I've only had FIVE email accounts on my single cell phone for at least the last 7 years including a fairly secure work account.
What I am curious about is how was it possible for anyone to NOT question why they were sending classified information to any domain that wasn't a known agency domain. That in itself would indicate to you that you were sending to a non-govt server. What I think is the worst is that she is laying down just pure bullshit for excuses in hopes that the general non-technically knowledgeable public will believe her.

She also stated it was so she would only have to carry around one device, but that was proven false also as she had multiples around her most of the time.

Open your paper, turn on a news station, fucking Google?. They have uncovered MANY emails that were of a classified nature, and before you spout that retarded line about being MARKED or not some of it at the time was and is still so sensitive it can't even be discussed. It doesn't need to have a mark to be classified FYI. She sent and received classified material via her private server. Deal with that fact.

Were they sending to her private mail address or did she have email forwarding turned on for her government account? If her government account was forwarding those communicating with her might not have noticed.

Of course if the Government IT department configured the mail forward... :S
