#CrookedHillary racks up yet another four pinocchios from lw fact checker

What they don't want to acknowledge is that Hillary as the Sec Of State was the person to mark something Classified.

While it may be technically true that the emails were not marked Classified, she had the responsibility to mark them as such, but she didn't.

Do we want a President that doesn't know the difference between classified material and material that is not?

The media has been quite diligent in failing to expose this simple fact. Had it been a republican, that document she signed on her first day as Secretary of State acknowledging that she understood her responsibility to KNOW what was classified (marked or not) would have led the evening news casts and headlines for months on end. Instead, I guarantee you that fewer than 10% of the voters even know about it.

But for those of us who DO know about it, and now hear her once again (on Sunday) blame the fact that she sent and received classified emails by her underlings she had "no reason to not trust", it supports 100% what Comey said in his press conference - that she's either incredibly dishonest or incredibly ignorant - take your pick.

How do you know that Hillary, specifically, did anything wrong ...?

You're just alluding to a conspiracy that lacks actual evidence, and then asserting that there is no evidence because "because the system will protect her no matter what." That is called circular logic.

The state department had been careless with classified information for a long time. Apparently, you don't care about an actual security problem like that, you're only interested in manipulating a crisis to attack political opponents. That makes it a pretty clear cut case of partisanship.

What Hillary did took the State Department's incompetence to an entirely new level. That they didn't shut down her use of a private, UNSECURED server that she used for FOUR YEARS that surely everyone at the State Department (and also Obama and other top officials throughout the government) knew about does show tacit acceptance of her corruption and incompetence.

What amazes me the most is that her supporters apparently aren't bright enough to realize why she CHOSE to use a private unsecured server EXCLUSIVELY for her government emails in the first place. She wanted ALL of her communications hidden from public view and from Congress - not just those regarding her communications as Secretary of State, but also those regarding her pay-to-play schemes raising money for the Clinton Foundation.

She is dishonest to the core. And so is anyone claiming her level of dishonesty and corruption regarding her use of a private email server is comparable to previous Secretaries of State. Colin Powell has pointed out that "back in the day" when he was SoS, their email system didn't even allow him to send or receive emails to several other people in government agencies outside the State Department. So he asked for AND RECEIVED permission to have a separate PC on his desk (right next to his government one) to use to send and receive such emails. It NEVER left his desk. It NEVER involved using a private unsecured email server in his home. It was secured by IT professionals within the State Department. He NEVER had it professionally wiped clean to hide evidence of at least 33K emails he falsely claimed were about yoga or emails.
