Quote:I was referring to the "top secret" classified emails, but fine, bring in the hundreds detailed as classified, or first unclassified and then later classified.  They were sitting on a server that had not been correctly secured by the Department of Defense.

 

They were not distributed illegally to sources that had no business getting them.  They were just on the wrong server. BIG difference, though I know not to you.  I'll agree to disagree.

 

As for "deleted at the appropriate time", well, it they hadn't been, this investigation would not have taken so long.  The FBI had to piece together the emails from deleted segments that were still on the servers that Clinton had turned over to them.

 

As I have maintained from Day One, Clinton did something dumb, and that lapse in judgment will disqualify her from office to some.  Just don't tell me the FBI director didn't do his job correctly.

 

I'll agree to disagree with you regarding whether or not the FBI Director did his job correctly.  However, I will say that his recommendation that no charges be pursued was very much inappropriate.

 

As far as the classified material "simply being on the wrong server", that's total "male cow feces".  Anyone that knows anything about emailing classified information knows that proper encryption should be used, and for a lot of us, that means also using networks that are secure such as SIPRNet which was specifically designed and set up for use by DoD and the Department of State.
