If Omarosa and other WH staffers could waltz into the SitRoom with their personal phones, this might well be a far bigger security breach than Clinton's private server.

He's not asking a question or presenting a possibility.

He said "might" because it's pretty damned obvious that it's a security breach, and a major one.

DC doesn't use the "sarcasm smiley."

Perhaps done on purpose, which would make a high crime into treason and ESPIONAGE.

They expressed it against Hillary. They'll now express it against Omarosa.

In the fall, NP will get a heavy dose of their animus. Hating makes them feel big. Starts at the top.

a private conversation? If she was following his directions, and assuming he had authority to allow her to enter, then that episode falls into a security breach by Kelley.

Still, since everything now is assumed to be recorded by the WH, each individual, russians, israeli, etc. I think we should stop being amazed that some "private" information leaked.

Normally security/compliance groups within the government do a pretty good job of making sure there is no obvious problems. This ain't normal. It's like having your worst enemy telling you how best to counter their threats. Believe Me.

No one has ever explained how the NSA didn't know HRC was on a private server? If they knew, to me, that's tacit approval-so where was the foul? In fact, maybe a private server was in fact a security measure in itself?

Remember Kristian Saucier, the Navy submariner who was thrown in jail for taking classified photos of the inside of a submarine on his cell phone, destroyed his camera and computer to cover up his crime, and was pardoned by Scumbag-in-Chief John Donald Trump.

Question: Does sentencing John Donald Trump and everyone around him to be boiled in oil upon John Donald's conviction for being a total piece of shit constitute a violation of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, and can we do it anyway?

The State Departments unsecured e-mail server was where all of those e-mails that ended up on Hillary server came from. state.gov has been proven to have been hacked and everything would have just been fine if she had used state.gov instead of her server when state.gov was actually not as secure.

Was set up for classified information. the State Department was not suppose to send Hillary classified information to her server. they had secure fax and other ways to send classified information. I never did understand why an investigation was not done into why the people at the State Department did not know what they were sending was classified? my guess is it was classified by different agencies but not by the State Department.

because if they do, we'll see the proof via Putey that Lindsay is a gay man (oh Nos!), that Nunes and Ryan have taken tons of Russian money, that Turtle and his family are up to their eyeballs in illegal foreign businesses, etc., etc., etc. They're ALL compromised.
