For anyone who actually read the report it is neither scathing or devastating, it's a boring dull IG report like every other one. She violated parts of the Foreign Affairs Manual and Foreign Affairs Handbook, the worst that could’ve happened is she could’ve be fired from her job depending on the severity of the violations. I’m not going to defend it because it was wrong, but she didn't break any federal laws nor did she commit treason. There’s no evidence that her server was ever hacked, or that she transmitted classified documents.
Outside of the military there isn’t one government agency that isn’t lagging behind in cybersecurity and I can assure you that worse violations than these still happen, not making excuses just pointing out the reality of it. Try writing new security regulations then getting all the agencies involved to review them and the AG’s office to sign off on them, (think herding cats times 10). Once you’ve managed that take an underfunded, understaffed agency that routinely has its budget cut that relies on a centralized one size fits all IT department, then hand said agency the responsibility of training a typically non technological management, all of whom are way above your pay grade and tell them what they can and can’t do. If Hillary has had her email account and server gone over with a fine tooth comb for two years and no one has said yes she knowingly transmitted classified information, or her email server was definitively hacked, etc, etc, that maybe there is nothing to see here.
The report came to this conclusion "Longstanding, systemic weaknesses related to electronic records and communications have existed within the Office of the Secretary that go well beyond the tenure of any one Secretary of State. OIG recognizes that technology and Department policy have evolved considerably since Secretary Albright’s tenure began in 1997. Nevertheless, the Department generally and the Office of the Secretary in particular have been slow to recognize and to manage effectively the legal requirements and cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications, particularly as those risks pertain to its most senior leadership. OIG expects that its recommendations will move the Department steps closer to meaningfully addressing these risks." Notice they don’t mention Hillary by name. The IG’s office is trying not to appear insignificant.
For anyone who cares my official title is Information Security Analyst and I work for a government agency.
