But her e-mails...


Pence used personal email for state business — and was hacked

Emails released to IndyStar in response to a public records request show Pence communicated via his personal AOL account with top advisers on topics ranging from security gates at the governor’s residence to the state’s response to terror attacks across the globe. In one email, Pence’s top state homeland security adviser relayed an update from the FBI regarding the arrests of several men on federal terror-related charges.

Cybersecurity experts say the emails raise concerns about whether such sensitive information was adequately protected from hackers, given that personal accounts like Pence's are typically less secure than government email accounts. In fact, Pence's personal account was hacked last summer.

Furthermore, advocates for open government expressed concerns about transparency because personal emails aren't immediately captured on state servers that are searched in response to public records requests.

Really?? Can't leave breadcrumbs laying around very long before they are snapped up. The only way to spot a leak is to put the system under some pressure and the area that fails shows who is leaking info.

So far as intelligence is concerned I don't have to pretend. What is your excuse? Inbreeding?

Ludlow is right:

As Governor, Mr. Pence fully complied with Indiana law regarding email use and retention. Government emails involving his state and personal accounts are being archived by the state consistent with Indiana law, and are being managed according to Indiana’s Access to Public Records Act.”

Indiana law does not prohibit public officials from using personal email accounts, although the law is generally interpreted to mean that official business conducted on private email must be retained for public record purposes.

Did any of Pence's e-mails reveal classified information? If not, this is just another turd-fling.

Has the FBI started their investigation, yet? How can you possibly know until that has happened? Wasn't Hillary innocent until the Director of the FBI opened his mouth five days before the election?

Meh. How many times has the White House been hacked? The US really should hire some Israeli counter-hackers. They'll not only locate the hackers, they can hack them in way that causes them to expose themselves, including pics and personal info like name, age, address and if they're feeling particularly vindictive, their financial info as well like bank acct numbers etc.
