When is Loretta Lynch going to recuse herself?

[KeepTalking]

Interesting paragraph:

A little further:

Comey said Clinton had used not one but multiple private email servers during her time at State. He said Clinton used multiple email devices during that time. (She had offered her desire to use a single device for “convenience” as the main reason she set up the private server.)

The multiple servers referred to multiple locations, first at her home, then at a managed location (or two). Just because she used "multiple devices during that" does not mean she used them all at the same time. I'm not rich at all, and I still buy a new smart phone every year or two.

I've had a gmail account for about 12 years and an AOL account for several year before that. If someone asked me if I discussed any particular subject in an email, it would have to be something I never heard of before and couldn't pronounce if I saw it written. 110 sounds like a big number, but how many emails did she send in a week, or a month?

In any case, this is still a meaningless, but expensive exercise.

Well let's see where the security polices go after this. If there's real teeth put behind the security oversight teams where privileged actors aren't able to flout proper policies then I'd say it's meaningful. If that happens then everybody wins, the ardent Ds get to keep pretending that this is a witch hunt, the ardent Rs get to have another Clinton conspiracy theory, and the folks concerned about data security get better policies in place.

A security policy is just a policy, not a law. The worst that can be done to a State Department employee who acts against policy is that they would get fired, and have their security clearance revoked. HRC does not work at the State Department any more, so they can't really fire her, and she was an appointed official anyway, so Obama would have to remove her from her appointed position.

Good point. I was misled by the part in parenthesis. I read Comey's remarks in full and apparently Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post has a penchant for sensationalism.

I agree. Then after the person that she's replaced with finds that nothing illegal happened, we're going to need another investigation to find all the things which that second investigation missed. Then we're going to need an investigation into why none of these other investigations have found anything followed by an investigation into the investigation of the investigations to investigate who got paid off where and why.

Yeah, Frank Zappa said it well in the song "Rudy wants to buy yez a drink":

The judge can see
No wrong been done.
That's one good reason
I carry a gun

Trump has nothing else going for him - expect to see this squeezed for all it's worth. Most voters will get sick of hearing about it, but his acolytes won't give up.

Well, Loretta Lynch recusing herself is a moot point now. Saved by the FBI!

Attorney General Loretta Lynch made it official Wednesday: Hillary Clinton will not be charged for using a personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state, removing a long-looming shadow over her 2016 bid.

"Late this afternoon, I met with FBI Director James Comey and career prosecutors and agents who conducted the investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email system during her time as secretary of state," Lynch said in a statement.
"I received and accepted their unanimous recommendation that the thorough, year-long investigation be closed and that no charges be brought against any individuals within the scope of the investigation," she said.

So the FBI Director says yes a few (110 out of well over 30 thousand) were contemporaneously classified. He was not clear that they were marked as such, but said that HRC and her staff knew or should have known the material was classified. The FBI Director said she and he staff were careless, but there was no intention to violate laws. He recommends no charges, and said there is no basis for charges.

Again, am I the only one in this forum who took InfoSec and CompuSec?

Or does it not matter at all because of who we are discussing?

No, it doesn't matter because of the nature of the offense. And also because the FBI Director is a rabid Democratic partisan who hates goodness and freedom and wants to undermine everything that makes America great so that the terrorists can win. Mostly the latter, but a little bit of the former.
