1) Doesn’t the very fact that the interviewer had to repeatedly stress to Trump not to get into the specifics of his intelligence briefing make the entire point about Trump not being fit to be the President?

Except all this email chain actually indicates is Hillary wanted to know how to keep using her Blackberry as SoS. She doesn’t ask how to set up private email, she asks him what the restrictions on using his Blackberry were. Read her email. There is nothing it in “clearly” indicating she wanted to keep stuff out of the…

Right?

Yeah, if anything the title should have been “Hillary Clinton asked Colin Powell for advice on using a blackberry as Secretary of State and Powell responded with advice on bypassing State Department Security Measures.” or something. Ugh.

Thank you!! Exactly. To me this read as older woman talking to older man implicitly about how kids’ newfangled devices are just a bit too complicated, given all the other work to do. She’s asking how to keep using what they (Clinton and Powell) know are antiquated devices and not appearing to be antiquated. This whole…

I think the article’s lede is bullshit. She asked how she could continue using her blackberry. There was no implication that she wanted to

Cameron Greene, 24, Democrat, staff assistant for Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse

Sidestepping the mindblowing hypocrisy of people who refuse to level the same scrutiny at Powell’s actions than they do at Clinton’s because they are blind to the depth of the social conditioning to hate all women who obtain power... DAMN, the Blackberry addiction is real.

Oh, Brend-O.

This headline totally misrepresents what is in the article. Is he joking? This is exactly what someone that is biased against Clinton would write. I’m pretty new here but I thought The Slot was better than this. Is Brendan from Gawker? Because if so, he should drop that shit and fast. I don’t want to see that here.

The bigger question is why is the government so far behind the rest of the world with technology. Also, a reminder that government servers have been hacked so really no one’s digital info is safe.

This is a bullshit headline. A super bullshit headline.

I’ve re-read the article like four times trying to determine if the headline is sarcastic and my knee-jerk-Hillary-defense-o-tron just needs to be recalibrated. Can’t tell if I’m just too fed up to detect good-natured cheekiness, or if it’s all just wishful thinking on my part.

Thank you! That is a disgustingly ridiculous headline. Jesus Christ. This isn’t supposed to be Breitbart. Is it? IS IT?

Right? If anythign this proves she was just doing what she thought was right

Brendan, honey. No.

OMFG. I never do this but - this is our headline here at the Slot? Really? The email clearly says she wants to “bring along the state department” and asks for advice. Where is the “bypassing” attempt, exactly?

That seems like one of those things a reporter would check before just reprinting a quote from People magazine.

Interesting that she’d been using the personal server as sec of state for a year when her email above is dated 3 days after Obama’s first inauguration.

This. That glorious, rosy view of the past literally never existed. There was no wonderful time of peace and harmony where everyone all got along because they did what God (and his mouth-pieces on earth) told them to. People have always been ‘bad’ in the eyes of the religious right. There have always been beaters and…
