Unclassified Colin Powell Email to Hillary Clinton Shows He Used Personal Account Too

anyone who equates a personal server guarded by your own tech team with an aol account is an idiot.

Yeah, the personal server is far more secure.

If you send an FOIA order to aol they will give up the info. If you send it to team clinton they delete all the evidence.

Because you can't imagine how anyone might delete their aol emails or do you think they keep deleted emails forever? They don't.

nowhere has he said he used a private phone line to conduct government business.......

He certainly did.

"What I did do was have a personal computer hooked up to a private phone line (sounds ancient.) So I could communicate with a wide range of friends directly without it going through the State Department servers. I even used it do business with some foreign leaders and some of the senior folks in the Department..."
 
'Don't email hrc anything sensitive' (Abedin)

* How Clinton's server was wide open to hackers for WEEKS - and Huma Abedin warned other officials not to use secret address
*Devastating new emails reveal how Hillary Clinton's 'homebrew' server had a technical problem so serious its security systems were shut off
*The then Secretary of State's closest aide Huma Abedin emailed other high-ranking staff a warning in December 2010
'Don't email hrc [Clinton] anything sensitive. I can explain more in person,' she wrote, newly-discovered documents reveal
*Weeks later a hacker DID attempt to access the secret server
*Clinton campaign deny her server was ever successfully hacked but have never explained what security procedures were in place
*Judicial Watch is suing State Department over the server and found the new documents which show anti-phishing features were disabled
 
The most obvious security issue with Clinton running her own email server, says Soghoian, is the lack of manpower overseeing it compared with the State Department’s official email system. The federal agency’s own IT security team monitors State Department servers for possible vulnerabilities and breaches, and those computers fall under the NSA’s protection, too.
Since 2008, for instance, the so-called Einstein project has functioned as an umbrella intrusion-detection system for more than a dozen federal agencies; Though it’s run by the Department of Homeland Security, it uses NSA data and vulnerability-detection methods.

Clinton’s email wouldn’t have the benefit of any of that expensive government security. If she had hosted her email with Google or even Yahoo! or Microsoft, there might be an argument that those private companies’ security teams are just as competent as the those of the feds. But instead, according to the Associated Press, Clinton ran her server from her own home. Any protection it had there—aside from the physical protection of the Secret Service—would have been limited to the Clintons’ own personal resources.

Hillary Clinton’s private server was temporarily unprotected by security features in December 2010, when the then-secretary of state had technical problems with her email. In 2011, Clinton’s server was hacked multiple times, newly-disclosed papers show.


On Wednesday, the legal advocacy group Judicial Watch published a batch of back-and-forth emails between high-level State Department technical support and Clinton staffers as they tried to fix a serious problem with the secretary’s private home email server.


Another email shows that John Bentel, then the technical support director, warned Clinton that if she opted to use the official email box, “any email would go through the Department’s infrastructure and subject to FOIA searches.”

After Abedin reported the technical problem, the State Department technical staff suggested that “turning off the anti-spam filter” would resolve the problem.

However, after the Trend Micro Inc. security software installed on Clinton’s server was turned off, a senior State Department official, Thomas W. Lawrence, wrote: "We view this as a Band-Aid and fear it's not 100 percent fully effective. We are eager for TrendMicro to fully resolve, quickly.”

As shutting down the security software didn’t appear to be helpful, one email recommended turning off two of the three anti-phishing filters that protect personal data from identity thieves and cybercriminals “in order to eliminate the categorizer.”

Clinton, now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, has repeatedly denied that her private email server was ever breached.

In late May, the State Department’s Office of the Inspector General released a scathing report largely concerning Clinton’s email use, saying that unsecured communications at such a high level created “significant security risks

and you're claiming he was doing things that ought to have been classified?......there is nothing wrong with using a private phone line to make an appointment to play golf or have lunch......
 
No, it is pointing out that in this instance, Hillary was not the only one, but she is the only one of GOP cares about.

I love how liberals try to pretend that two emails sent TO someone is as bad as tens of thousands of emails that included classified information......
 
people should stop focusing on the national security aspect. Im assuming that whatever the pentagon has has been hacked as well. They most likely keep the most secret stuff on pen and paper anyway.

We should focus on whether having a private server manned by your own tech team made it harder for FOIA to function.

cmon. there is absolutely no evidence State's "high side" server was ever hacked. "The pentagon" is a lot of databases.

Like it or not open and paper don't cut it -the info still has to be transvered.
