If you want a balanced view of the Clinton email scandal here's a suggestion

[BootinUp]

Go to the wikipedia page and research it yourself. Clearly information on the matter at DU is highly slanted by people here that don't want her to be elected.

There are a ton of references, and good sources of information right here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton_email_controversy

1. You are so right! It provided a ton of great information...

this one being my favorite.

"Prior to her appointment as Secretary of State, Clinton and her circle of friends and colleagues communicated via BlackBerry phones. State Department security personnel suggested this would pose a security risk during her tenure, so she was not allowed to take her BlackBerry into her private office. The email account used on Clinton's BlackBerry was then hosted on a private server in the basement of her home in Chappaqua, New York, but that information was not disclosed to State Department security personnel or senior State Department personnel. It proved impractical to find a solution, even after consulting the National Security Agency, which would have allowed Clinton to use her BlackBerry, or a similarly secure device, in her office. Setting up a secure desktop computer in her office was suggested, but Clinton was unfamiliar with their use. Efforts to find a secure solution were abandoned, and Clinton was warned by State Department security personnel about the vulnerability of an unsecured BlackBerry to hacking. She affirmed her knowledge of the danger, and was reportedly told that the Bureau of Diplomatic Security had obtained intelligence about Clinton's vulnerability while she was on a trip to Asia, but continued to use her BlackBerry outside her office."

Meaning - following the rules is not something Hillary Clinton chooses to do. She opted to continue using her BlackBerry because she liked it bunches and her needs outweigh the needs of security and outweigh the fact that she was advised to stop.

This is exactly what I believe about Hillary - she does as she wishes and the outcome for her is the only important issue. She cares not one wit for what is right and or following the RULES that others must.

3. +1

4. Yup. Pretty much insubordination, compromising secure data, evading Freedom of Information Act.

At the very least this was negligent and careless.
But more likely it was a deliberate choice to escape oversight and control the storage and disposal of communications.
It's pathetic how she said it was about convenience, that it was too much trouble to have to carry multiple devices.

Sheesh.

[Silver_Witch]

6. Yeah - I work and have to follow rules too.

Gosh I find them so inconvenient and yet I have to or loose my job.

I find Clinton arrogant and self-important. I don't want a President like that.

2. That is a very good chronology. Thanks bootinup

5. I have to assume you posted this because you think her shit doesn't stink.

Guess what.

7. Balanced yeah

For anybody interested in the Clinton method of information control, check out the revisions to that page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hillary_Clinton_email_controversy&action=history

Note how language damaging to Clinton is systematically challenged and removed and/or altered.

In particular they seem to be REALLY REALLY sensitive about the word "investigation" relating to FBI activities, even though investigation is exactly what they do since it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The word "investigation" is removed many times and the word "probe" substituted even though the FBI doesn't do "probes".

Her recent nonsense about a "security inquiry" (again changing language to minimize the seriousness of the situation) is basically the same thing as we see going on in the edits to that page.

In particular, you can see an editor named "Scjessey", real name Simon Jessey, has been all over that page from the beginning.


As you can see here, Simon Jessey is a Clinton partisan. https://twitter.com/scjessey

Balanced, my ass.

8. The fun part is the OP thought it helped Clinton

The Blind CANNOT see....

10. Great research

I'm aware "hot" articles are subject to dueling edits but I don't usually check.

[AgerolanAmerican]

11. I knew it would be the case before I even looked

I knew there was no way in hell a Clinton partisan was going to link to any information that was not altered to suit her campaign. They've never been honest before, so there was no reason for them to start now.

So it was no surprise to find one really obvious Clinton partisan waging a propaganda war on the article to minimize the severity of the shit she's in. I'd bet that additional editors on that article are also her partisans, if not actual employees.

12. I consider Wiki to be a major misinformation site, and that was and is the intent of libertarian

founder, Jimmy Wales. That site is only believable to the uninformed. it is so slanted I don't even give them a click anymore. Who has time to read heavily libertarian slanted product.

[silvershadow]

13. I will just wait for actual info to come from Justice. nt

[BootinUp]

14. kick

[frylock]

16. Your wiki page has been edited to favor Mrs Clinton.

I think that people will find The Clinton Email Scandal Timeline to be far more balanced.

[Skwmom]

17. Wikipedia is not credible. They altered the text once to make it less than straightforward

that Clinton signed NAFTA into law.
