Clinton broke federal rules with email server, audit finds

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton violated federal records rules through her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, a State Department audit has concluded.

“At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department issues before leaving government service,” says an audit by the State Department Inspector General, obtained by NBC News.

“Because she did not do so, she did not comply with the [State] Department’s policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act.”

Colin Powell apparently was imperfect as well according to this report.

investigation by State was put on pause, out of deference to the ongoing criminal investigation by Justice.

"The internal review is on hold, pending completion of the FBI's work," she added." We'll reassess next steps after the FBI's work is complete."

Is the FBI through?

That one went up at 10:28 NYT and mine at 10:30 MSNBC.

There's a third post which has a Google link to the NYT piece.

All of this was known but brushed off by Camp Hillary. "Everyone does it." Well, no. This tweet from CNN's Dan Merica shreds that excuse:
issue for Clinton campaign: Powell used a private email address. Clinton used a private email server. Difference.

I wonder if this is enough cover for the FBI to get off the dime and send their report to the DoJ.

Political funeral or political pyre?

If it's going to be a funeral, I'm thinking of sending Lilies - either money-green or blood-red.

It's to be a pyre, I'll be sure to have hot dogs and marshmallows ready.

Looks like not only was the server vulnerable to hacking, but it was in fact hacked by a notorious hacker who is set to testify.
