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.
- travisoneill1 7y agoYou think violating State Department information security procedures is not a big deal?

- pstuart 7y agoIt's classic "whataboutism". You know, the disinformation technique the Soviets use(d): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
- pstuart 7y agoIt 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.
