The buttery males? Oh my, that was a national security disaster! /s

Edit: actually, she did get in "trouble". That faux controversy helped sway the election against her.

You think violating State Department information security procedures is not a big deal?

It is a significant deal. She wasn't alone in doing so (her predecessors had engaged in similar behavior to a degree as well). What's interesting is that the heat and light about it wasn't followed by any legislative/policy action of note. It's almost like they weren't trying to right a wrong, but to politically assassinate her.

The sitting president communicates on an unsecured iPhone. The WH staff is using alternate email systems and messaging to actively avoid leaving a trail.

Let me know your concern about that and I'm happy to continue this conversation. Otherwise, you're engaging in partisan politics here and that's not good for HN.

What does that have to do with election tampering in Georgia?
