Not running mate: ambassador to Zambia!

Heheheheheheheheh. PIV.

I actually have the chip ID already (whether it works is, indeed, another question), but everything you’ve said otherwise is exactly what my colleagues and I envisioned when we discussed this on Friday.

Also, did you experience/do you remember the massive switch to keyboards with PIV card readers in them, half of which didn’t work? That was a Fun Time (tm).

Yes. All of this ×10000. And I think it’s particularly awful for millenials and folks who know what they’re doing with computers since the federal work force demographic is so predominantly older that a lot of the super-repetitive “how to not be a computer dumbass 101” messages are sadly necessary for a lot of feds.…

“department policy violations” =/= “laws broken”

A) the private server was probably more secure than the government servers, which were hacked, repeatedly, and B) those 110 emails with “classified” information, was information classified after the fact. Many of them with redundant information (for example, a “classified” bit was contained in email strings).

Um. Because no laws were broken.

Fellow fed here. I am so frustrated with fed agency IT departments. It seems like all they did to clean up after the data breach was update the yearly FISSA+ training to say “DON’T GIVE OUT PII” over and over again.

Because failing to follow State Department security guidelines isn’t a crime, and neither is being careless.

Don’t get me wrong, it was a profoundly stupid move, but it didn’t violate any actual laws.

At this point I have to assume Bill has dementia, because there is no other way that Lynch tarmac chat makes a lick of sense.

Pretty much what anyone who actually had any background in this area was saying was going to happen.

Did you type this with a straight face?

As a fed who is now under ID theft watch thanks to the massive data breach some years ago, IT security at federal agencies is a joke. They’re hacked constantly. Her emails were probably safer on her private account just because it would be mostly unrecognizable.

agreed. also, the government has got to get its shit in order with regards to cyber security. it seems like they totally didn’t get the memo that the internet became a thing...

There’s literally no outcome that you woudn’t claim was a win for Trump.

The totality of the classified emails sent and received over 4 years on Hillary’s private email server: .36% if you’re just totaling the 30,000 handed over, or .22% if you assume they got to 10-20,000 more via fragments, other government accounts, etc.

BUT SHE’S GOING TO BE INDICTED ANY DAY NOW.
