Hillary Clinton’s email server traced

The arrogance and the idiocy… Hillary Clinton’s email server traced to Internet service registered to NY home | Fox News.

She’s not the only one as Fox news reports (and you believe it!??) that Republican’s have done it, albeit in amateurish fashion…

The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, impressive control over limiting access to her message archives. It also would distinguish Clinton’s secretive email practices as far more sophisticated than some politicians, including Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, who were caught conducting official business using free email services operated by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc.

But Hillary’s efforts were much more sophisticated.

Clinton has not described her motivation for using a private email account — hdr22(at)clintonemail.com, which traced back to her own private email server registered under an apparent pseudonym — for official State Department business.

Operating her own server would have afforded Clinton additional legal opportunities to block government or private subpoenas in criminal, administrative or civil cases because her lawyers could object in court before being forced to turn over any emails. And since the Secret Service was guarding Clinton’s home, an email server there would have been well protected from theft or a physical hacking.

But homebrew email servers are generally not as reliable, secure from hackers or protected from fires or floods as those in commercial data centers. Those professional facilities provide monitoring for viruses or hacking attempts, regulated temperatures, off-site backups, generators in case of power outages, fire-suppression systems and redundant communications lines.

If she pleads stoopid, then she’s not qualified to be President. If she pleads sophisticated, she doesn’t have the morals to be President. If I were here, I’d fall back on her main excuse, “what difference does it make,” as that seems to work.
