>Is it silly when people complain that the NSA is breaking the rules that everyone else has to follow? Yes, I do think it is silly. Now that doesn't mean that the NSA should have no rules and have free reign, but to draw an equivalence between the NSA and an average person (that would justify them being bound by the same rules) is just absurd. >because Clinton wasn't just breaking some internal State Department rule. The issue regarding the rules isn't about classified information, its about private servers. That is a rule that she is absolutely justified in re-writing on-the-fly even if a lowly grunt would be thrown in a hole for doing the same thing. Just to be clear, her private server does not inherently endanger classified information. People have been conflating these two issues to the point where no one can speak clearly about it. That classified information was incorrectly sent to her private email is an entirely different issue.
