How else can our post-Constitutional government remain unaccountable unless it clouds everything in secrecy?

Laws and rules are just for the little people.

Is something like this that big of a deal, really? If it's some policy violation, just tell her to forward what she has to an official email, and stop using it. The NSA probably has access to all that information anyway, so who cares? Personal or private email; the information is still shielded form the people.

This seems like a non-issue.

Repub's are just trying to see what might stick to the wall.

From what I heard on the radio this morning, all of her state business was handled on through her private email account.

If this turns out to be true, would this be an issue for you?

Assuming she used her personal email address for state business, you really don't see an issue potentially sending sensitive government documents through something like gmail?

Do you also keep a spare key to your house under the front door mat?

It is good too see some one that does not defend their party when they are in the wrong. Keep it up and do not become a lock step partisan this forum is full of them.

This is a big deal. As Secretary of State she knowingly:

- Broke the law by not using the secure email address supplied to her that should have served as an archive of her communications.
- Ran all email communications through a private email server, which potentially leaves all of those discussions vulnerable to hackers
- Did not keep records of all of her correspondences; since they were outside of the system she could delete anything she wanted.

Regardless of it was a R or D who did this, its not only wildly irresponsible, its also extremely arrogant to think you don't have to follow the law. Everyone should be alarmed she did this and hold her accountable. Thankfully, there are a high number of sane Democrats who are calling her out, but its amazing anyone can defend this or doesn't think its a big deal.

Non-issue? Unbelievable. I'm not sure you're even qualified to have a debate about politics if you don't see a problem with this.
