Over and over and over again, we see she was receiving documents on her personal email. How is that breaking the law?
Once you receive classified information on an unclassified system, you have minimal amount of time to respond. Your response is to immediately contact the facility security officer. Failure to do so is a crime punishable by large fines and prison -- just as if you sent the e-mail to an unclassified server.
With security, as soon as you know something is amiss, if you immediately reported it to your facility security officer, there are minimal repercussions. Just like Watergate, the real issue is the cover up.
*whaddya gonna do?*
In the primary, vote for Sanders. In the general, who knows. I voted for Hillary in 2008. I won't vote for her again.
He's there to scare people into voting for her anyway. *Think of the alternative!* is working out to be a neat trick.
Trump is running the most successful false-flag operation in the history of American politics.
Truly, any other person would be out of a job and looking for an easy-going thing to confess to, months or years ago.
Except, maybe, Colin Powell, but, well, you know... that's different
If Powell had classified information on his private e-mail server, he too should be prosecuted.
Were you hoping for if they break they law, I get to break the law?
Unless the State Department gives you explicit permission to do as she did. Which they did. Until they didn't.
I'm sorry. You're either being a partisan shell or you don't understand the issue. No one can give you permission to hold classified information on an unclassified server.
Frankly, I think the problem runs deeper. How does an unsecured server end up on the same network as classified information?
Things I don't like:
where once again, the white man is going to come in and tell the black man what to do with his land.
Yes. Yes, I know. It will be for his own good. He's too [stupid|short-sighted|ignorant|uneducated] to live his life correctly. The wise white man has to tell him what to do.
Even when you dress it up in left-wing causes, racism is pretty ugly.
Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black.
You racist prick!
More to the point: you can't read.
Since I was at work and could not see the person who he was responding to -- and he didn't quote what he was responding to -- then no. I didn't read it.
I only saw someone say how fucking brilliant they were and that the public school was falling all over itself to treat him like the second coming of Christ.
I realize that you're absolutely brilliant and have god-like powers (do you mind if I put on my shades, your brightness is blinding), but I could only respond to what you wrote and, as a mere mortal, am unable to read your mind. You only stated that the public schools were phenomenal.
Now, I realize that you're able to read minds (since you expected me to read yours), but I think you got the guy in the cube next to mine. I have re-read my post and I never found where I said anything about charter schools. Maybe I missed it and you, in your infinite brilliance, were able to spot it in some form of Da Vinci code. If so, it was completely unintentional on my part.
So I'm having a really hard time understanding the relevance of the search that you, in your god-like wisdom, suggested. So forgive this mere mortal thinker in asking what relevance the search has to what I stated -- except, perhaps, peripherally because I pointed out that some schools are not as awesomely brilliant as the ones that you originally described.
And obviously, based on your being marked up to high, one data point does prove everything statistically this week; silly me didn't realize.
Good teachers are much more than subject matter experts
What's with this dogma that teachers are subject matter experts? Yes, I have had some teachers that knew their subject and were enthusiastic about teaching it. But that wasn't the rule. I attended two different high schools, and my children attended a third. It varies. Some teachers are outstanding, some should be fired with prejudice -- and the quality of the teacher has no impact on the compensation that the teacher receives.
The people who put down public schools and experienced union teachers are "visionaries" but they don't have facts to back them up. If you want the facts, do a Google search for "Diane Ravitch."
Ah yes, a single data point proves everything. Sorry. No.
I have had exceptional public school teachers that cared about the students, knew their material, and provided a rich, learning environment. I have had hideous public school teachers that made it obvious that they hated the students, wished they were elsewhere, and only because thy had been on the job so long and were tenured that it was too late to change careers at that point. I have had public school teachers at almost every point in between.
I'm extremely glad that you had only exceptional experiences with public school teachers. But please, don't start pretending that you're representative of all public school students' experience or that your teachers were representative of all public school teachers.
We do have a justice system, but only if you can afford it. If you can't, then you get caught up in the legal system....
I respectfully disagree. The person that I know who got off with the misdemeanor, time served, and parole destroyed two lives in the process of committing his crime. I would be really hard pressed to say that justice was served with the light sentence that he received.
One of the victims (I have the joy of knowing both perp and victims) is constantly, angrily pointing out that the life of the person who attacked her is now completely back to normal while hers and the other victim are still dealing with the aftermath of the crime.
Perhaps justice is a myth.
