Snowden: Clinton's Private Email Server Is a 'Problem'
An anonymous reader points out comments from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in a new interview with Al Jazeera about Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was the U.S. Secretary of State. Snowden said, "Anyone who has the clearances that the Secretary of State has or the director of any top level agency has knows how classified information should be handled. When the unclassified systems of the United States government — which has a full time information security staff — regularly get hacked, the idea that someone keeping a private server ... is completely ridiculous." While Snowden didn't feel he had enough information to say Clinton's actions were a threat to national security, he did say that less prominent government employees would have probably been prosecuted for doing the same thing. For her part, Clinton said she used the private server out of convenience: "I was not thinking a lot when I got in. There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world. I didn't really stop and think what kind of email system will there be."
Did you forget your meds this morning?
Or in the case of the Bush Administration, Dick Cheney using the NSA to spy on other government officials (admitted to by John Bolton).

bush isnt in power and isnt seeking power. i hated bush (my post history shows as much) but move on hillary can do damage still, bush cant
Yes, let's move on for a war criminal wanted for crimes against humanity and focus on a mail server that was receiving non-classified email as much as a state state.gov address would have received the same emails as a non-classified email server. Clinton's "crimes" are a tempest in a teapot compared to what Bush & Co. are charged with. I have no love for Hillary and she will NEVER receive a vote from me EVER, but Snowden was a contract sysadmin NOT a security analyst for the CIA! There are more competent and experienced people that have already said that the worst thing that could happen to Clinton is a reprimand, not prosecution, and no, I'm not doing your homework for you, you can go look it up your damn self. Y'all watch too much Fox "News" and the rest of the propaganda channels.
