State Dept. IT Staff Told To Keep Quiet About Clinton's Server (computerworld.com)

dcblogs writes this report from Computerworld: Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's decision to use a private email server ran afoul of the government's IT security and record retention requirements, according to a report by the department's inspector general released today. This use of a private email server did not go unnoticed within the Department of State's IT department. Two IT staff members who raised concerns about Clinton's use of a private server were told not to speak of it. Clinton was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 and during that period she used a private email server in her New York home. This report by the Department of State's Inspector General about Clinton's use of a private server makes clear that rules and regulations were not followed. It says that Clinton would not have received approval for this server had she sought it. According to the current CIO, the report said, "Secretary Clinton had an obligation to discuss using her personal email account to conduct official business with their offices, who in turn would have attempted to provide her with approved and secured means that met her business needs." However, the report notes, according to these officials, The Bureau of Diplomatic Security and IRM (Bureau of Information Resource Management) "did not -- and would not -- approve her exclusive reliance on a personal email account to conduct Department business, because of the restrictions in the FAM [Foreign Affairs Manual] and the security risks in doing so."

Well, unless Bernie gets the nomination (and it would be nice if this blew up before the convention to encourage the superdelegates to make that happen), the choice appears to be Hillary versus Hitler's incompetent understudy. You really want Drumpf in the Oval Office?

Put a clamp on it Puppet!

What _YOU_ don't realize is that plenty of us have Government experience. Considering you have a whole 3 posts attributed to your account I believe you are not an egocentric prick but much much worse.

I was going to add some stuff, but considering you are simply a shill I won't waste my time. I really wish Slashdot gave us the ability to track AC IP addresses, I'm guessing you are coming from a specific range in DC.. you know, that same one that edits Wiki pages all the time.
