>Supposedly she got the server set up because the NSA refused to give a politician who travels frequently a secure smartphone.

She didn't want the one they offered her, which was an older-style Windows Mobile phone. As the emails frequently note, she is not a "computer person", she knew how to work one kind of device for accessing email and refused to use anything different. They offered her a secure computer with a dedicated outside line even inside State, but her handlers thought she wouldn't even be able to deal with the concept of accessing her email on a PC rather than a Blackberry. I am not bashing Clinton here, I am just reading back the stuff from the emails that was on JudicialWatch.

What's "depressing" to me is that I have had to handle classified material in the past and there's zero doubt what would happen to me if I handled this shit like her and her staff did, but there's going to be zero material consequences for her. I kind of feel like there's two sets of law books, ones for peons like me, and ones for special people like her.

If our Secretary of State and would-be President can't be bothered to learn how to read email on a PC, even (especially) for the sake of information security, I think that deserves a little bashing.

They're too busy to make an appointment with their desk to read emails, and the government can't supply a secure smartphone to anyone less high up than the President himself? Even the Secretary of State? Just bizarre.
