I don't think a password was too "difficult" for Hillary.

I think her arrogance and hubris is such that she felt personally insulted that she should have to bow down to such petty requirements.

ON EDIT: Yes, maybe there was some hubris, but actually now I am more inclined to think that it was that but -even more so- an excuse to go outside the system.

So... a combination of hubris, entitlement and shady secrecy.

1. Evidently "convenience" was limited to the use of her server

she chose to go out of her office to use her BB rather than having a computer specifically for her e-mails.....

[scscholar]

2. It sounds like something the computer guy...

made-up in order to try to cover his ass. We don't believe him.

3. "We"? n/t

4. You don't have to believe a damned thing. That's what logging is for.

Your beliefs are immaterial in this case, just like mine are.

[Bonobo]

5. Ummm, that too is your "belief". nt

[DisgustipatedinCA]

6. Not really, Bonobo. I work in data security, and there are logs, and those logs are very, very

likely going to show what kind of authentication, if any, she used. If she didn't use a password, investigators are going to know about it.

[Bonobo]

8. Logs will show her emotional state and motivation too?

Because that is what my OP is opining about.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

10. Of course not.

You're one of the handful of people here that I respect, and so, I think I'll just exit the thread--I don't wish to have differences with you.

[Bonobo]

15. Sorry, I guess I didn't understand your point.

And also, I am having a particularly stressful day so I apologize. It's personal/business crap with an business partner...

[DisgustipatedinCA]

17. I'm also pretty exhausted right now, and maybe I misunderstood some things.

For what it's worth, I wasn't responding to your OP, but to another poster--someone who will brook no criticism of Clinton, to the exclusion of everything else, including rational discourse. I'd better leave it there. I hope you have a good weekend.

18. Cheers. nt

7. Just finished reading the transcripts of the testimony of Lewis Lukens

http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-v-state-lukens-testimony-01363/

who was a foreign service officer for 27 years and was a Deputy Executive Secretary in the office of the Executive Secretariat during the beginning of HRC's tenure as SoS.

He testified she did not know how to use a desktop or how to use any email on a desktop. Riiiight. And she wants to be POTUS? My 93 year old mother used both until her passing last year.

[Bonobo]

11. OK me too. Wow. Wow. Wow. nt

[silvershadow]

9. Without the full evidence necessary to think otherwise, I'll have to agree with your assessment. nt

[Bonobo]

12. My assessment is the kind one. The alternative is that she was too stupid. Right? nt

[winter is coming]

14. I think you may be missing an important point.

They went out their way to offer her an "approved" set-up--even going so far as to not require a password--and she still turned it down. Blows the "convenience" talking point right out of the water.

[Bonobo]

16. Yes, I did see that too. I assume that it was at that point that she fully committed to going even

further outside the system than the offer she received to go outside the system.

She never even asked for an official email. Wow.
