I read about that a day or so again. What took you so long? It may not mean anything, or it may mean lots, but if nothing it is problematic to be sure as it creates the appearance of wrongdoing. She has money and clout so I wouldn't worry to much as I doubt anything will happen. At least she isn't a Presidential candidate.

More bad news for Hillary Clinton and her ill-advised personal email server. Another set of emails released by the State Department shows the government agency had to disable several security processes just to get its server to accept email from Clinton's private email address.
The emails, reviewed by The Associated Press, show that State Department technical staff disabled software on their systems intended to block phishing emails that could deliver dangerous viruses. They were trying urgently to resolve delivery problems with emails sent from Clinton's private server.
"This should trump all other activities," a senior technical official, Ken LaVolpe, told IT employees in a Dec. 17, 2010, email. Another senior State Department official, Thomas W.
Lawrence, wrote days later in an email that deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin personally was asking for an update about the repairs. Abedin and Clinton, who both used Clinton's private server, had complained that emails each sent to State Department employees were not being reliably received.
After technical staffers turned off some security features, Lawrence cautioned in an email, "We view this as a Band-Aid and fear it's not 100 percent fully effective."
While trial-and-error is generally useful when solving connection problems, the implication is undeniable: to make Clinton's private, insecure email server connect with the State Department's, it had to -- at least temporarily -- lower itself to Clinton's security level. The other workaround -- USE A DAMN STATE DEPARTMENT EMAIL ADDRESS -- was seriously discussed.
This latest stack of emails also exposed other interesting things... like the fact that Clinton's private email server was attacked multiple times in one day, resulting in staffers taking it offline in an attempt to prevent a breach. (h/t Pwn All The Things)
In addition to the security issues, there's also some discussion about why Clinton was choosing to use her own server.
In one email, the State Department's IT person explains the agency already has an email address set up for Clinton, but offers to delete anything contained in it -- and points out that using the State Dept. address would make future emails subject to FOIA requests.
[W]e actually have an account previously set up: SSHRC@state.gov. There are some old emails but none since Jan '11 -- we could get rid of them.
You should be aware that any email would go through the Department's infrastructure and subject to FOIA searches.
So, there's one reason Clinton would have opted to use a personal email address and server. More confirmation of the rationale behind this decision appears in an earlier email (2010) from Clinton to her aide, Huma Abedin.
Abedin: We should talk about putting you on state email or releasing your email to the department so you are not going to spam.
Clinton: Let's get separate address or device but I don't want any risk of the personal being accessible.
There appears to be some intent to dodge FOIA requests -- either by ensuring "no documents found" when Clinton's State Department email address was searched, or by being able to control any release by being the chokepoint for responsive documents.
To accomplish this, Clinton's team set up a private email server that was insecure and did not follow State Department guidelines. In fact, her team brushed off the agency more than once before finally informing it that they simply would not comply with State Department regulations.
In a blistering audit released last month, the State Department's inspector general concluded that Clinton and her team ignored clear internal guidance that her email setup broke federal standards and could leave sensitive material vulnerable to hackers. Her aides twice brushed aside concerns, in one case telling technical staff "the matter was not to be discussed further," the report said.
The FBI investigation that Clinton refuses to call an investigation continues. There may be no criminal charges forthcoming, but there's already plenty of evidence that Clinton's use of a private email server was not only dangerously insecure, but put into place in hopes of limiting her accountability.

"at times"? More like most of the time, pretty much all of the time, much of the time, majority of the time, etc., etc.

On a more serious note I hope the Brexit isnt a sign of things to come in the US. A platform built on fears of outsiders, jigonism and some may even say plain racism spearheadded by the older well off segment of the population, clearly on the Right of the politisphere; sounds uncomfortably similar to a platform being endorsed by a certain overripe orange with a bad case of mold on the top

I know the American White nationalists and supremacists are going buck wild over England leaving the EU (having I guess, saved the white race). Incidently or anecdotally, they are Trump voters and waiting for him to apparently exit....the world...not sure their goals never make actual sense.
Depending on how this pays off for the English in the next few months and how hard the various POTUS wannabes play the market on it, I think this could work in Turnip's flavor. We shall see, for a majority of voting Americans the events of yesterday and today will likely be forgotten Monday.
other then the banning of Muslim's (which I see as just rhetoric and not gonna happen) the only thing I see Trump doing is enforcing this countries laws that already exist for Illegals, furthermore I see California declaring it a safe zone for Illegals and then see the Government cutting off California's federal subsidies for not enforcing the law.

It must be relaxing to look at a politician, listen to the crazy stuff that comes out of their face, and decide that the craziest parts are just rhetoric.

no its just a dose of reality, Trump was trying to get Republican votes so he fed them what they wanted to hear, now he wants all our votes so he will feed us what we want to hear, meanwhile every one of his comments gets him free airtime and face value in the news, he says boo and the news agencies eat it up.

compared to what I know Hillary will do? yes.

You got that right! Sadly, it's the same phenomenon that made Brexit a reality, that made Trump the GOP POTUS candidate.
Sort of, not really....
One article I read stated that the majority of people who voted for leaving, were older Brits... likely those who were retired, or about to. The majority who voted for staying were younger, in the early/middle stages of a career.
A friend of mine from my rugby club posted an article stating that the divide between educated and uneducated was similar... those without 4+ year college degrees voted to leave, while those with degrees voted predominately to stay.
You don't really see the same kind of age divide in the US, while you do see it in the education levels.

Read an article earlier today that the process for the UK really hasn't even begun. Apparently, the UK government has to formally do some stuff with the EU declaring their intentions to leave (the referendum wasn't that)... That could happen tomorrow, a year from now, or when whatever-Prince-Harry-or-William's-youngest-child's-name-is ascends to the throne. Once that declaration is made, the EU and UK governments have 2 years to renegotiate their standings, trade, etc. in an attempt to keep them in the Union. If that fails, then UK leaves, and they begin negotiations all over again.

Actually, I think it's the fact that the older voters *remembers* what UK was like pre-EU.
Whereas the younger generation has no frame of reference and thus don't want to rock the status quo.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

and where is Trump Racist?
and are you referring to this Civil case which was dismissed in California, and is now currently in New York and happened over 20 years ago? you do realize anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason.
you have done nothing but to prove to myself why I should vote for Trump since those for Hillary and/or Sander's got nothing better to do then to make claims of racism and lies, have fun when Trump is elected later this year.
Thinks Palladium books screwed the pooch on the Robotech project.
And I notice that you ignored the question of what terrifying things you think Hillary is going to do that justify voting for someone so obviously horrible and incompetent as Trump.

Yes, that's why I said accused, not convicted. You know, kind of like Hillary has been accused of breaking the law with the email "scandal" but has not been convicted of anything.
