Hillary Knew the Dangers of Private E-Mail but Didn’t Let That Stop Her

From National Review:

The use of personal e-mail was pervasive among Hillary Clinton’s senior staff, at least according to an e-mail released yesterday by the State Department in response to Freedom of Information Act requests. That e-mail shows that Hillary and her close associates were well aware of the security risks presented by the use of private e-mail to conduct official business. They were also concerned that advertising their use of private e-mail for official business would draw hackers like sharks to chum. What was Hillary’s answer? To order the rank and file not to use private e-mail – all the while continuing to conduct her own business on her home-brew server.

Yet the State Department did not tolerate the same personal e-mail practices among career employees. A mere three weeks after this e-mail exchange, a cable signed by Hillary Clinton went out to diplomatic and consular officials serving overseas, alerting them to the security risks brought to light by the Gmail hack and warning those officials to “avoid conducting official Department business from your personal e-mail accounts.” A year later, Mrs. Clinton accepted the resignation of the U.S. ambassador to Kenya after an inspector-general report criticized the ambassador for using commercial e-mail systems to conduct official business.

Laws and rules are for the little people.
