I am just now watching BBC World News Tonight: Syria, Top Secret Emails.

Brothers and sisters, this is seen as a big deal internationally. It is possible she will wiggle out to it domestically, but relatively unbiased people see this as a BFD.

1. We came, we saw, he died

2. It's all over the news.

I checked 12-14 of the biggest media outlets and it was the top headline on 7-8 and second in the news feeder on the rest. It's getting a lot of attention everywhere.

4. I am actually surprised by the attention it is getting in the MSM.

This is not exactly a new story, it's just a slow drip. Hillary must be mad. But of course, she did make those mistakes, by her own admission.

6. Well, it kinda' is a big story.

A former top official in the most powerful country in the world has been accused of keeping top secret info on an unsecure server. If what I've read is true, some of it pertained to our drone strike program and spying (which they didn't specify what type). There's no way to know if that information was compromised but considering how it was kept that can't be ruled out. Especially if her staff had access to that server.

It's not that it wasn't classified when sent. The problem is she was keeping what would eventually be classified info on an unsecure server. She wasn't allowed to use a private server for State Dept work but she was doing exactly that. There's also the issue of the server company likely not having clearance to handle the info. That's a major issue. It's really no wonder it's as big as it is.

3. I don't understand why people are looking at this as no biggie - and now I am going to bash Bernie

Trump was right. Bernie should never have said no one cares about those damn emails.

He can't go there. And oh man, he should.

5. Well, Bernie said he was sick of hearing about her damn emails.

He did not exactly say that they do not matter. I think long term, income inequality is the bigger issue than her emails. It would have been expedient to score some quick points, but Bernie knows what's more important.

7. And keep in mind, they really, really, really botched the security on her server.

What we know so far:

1) Communications with her server were not encrypted for the first 3 months.

2) They left the default VPN keys installed on her server

Using those addresses, McGeorge discovered that the certificate appearing on the site Tuesday appeared to be the factory default for the security appliance, made by Fortinet Inc., running the service.

3) They were using, and continue to use, self-signed SSL certificates

4) They set up a .com domain, enabling the typosquater who has registered clintonmail.com (no "e" before "mail&quot . Whoever registered that domain is in a perfect position to steal login information or perform spear phishing attacks.

5) Her ISP was repeatedly hacked by China

8. Fuck. I think I haven't been paying attention. Thank you! nt

9. My Gawd

She had state secrets on her own private computer!!

No telling who read those secrets. Just no telling. No wonder 100 FBI agents are investigating!

[thereismore]

10. Now that you put it that way, it really is a BFD.

We don't need this albatross!
