:clapping: Sorry that I can only like this but once....
You realize that by voting for Jeb, you're the Republican version of the clown army of Democrats who are going to line up and vote for Hillary.
I don't see either one as very different from the other, especially once all the grandstanding and posturing ends. I believe they would behave extremely similar in their presidency.
Bad source, will not click. Please find legitimate source.
Very soon after the Ambassadors arrival in May 2011, he broadcast his lack of confidence in the information management staff. Because the information management office could not change the Departments policy for handling Sensitive But Unclassified material, he assumed charge of the missions information management operations. He ordered a commercial Internet connection installed in his embassy office bathroom so he could work there on a laptop not connected to the Department email system. He drafted and distributed a mission policy authorizing himself and other mission personnel to use commercial email for daily communication of official government business. During the inspection, the Ambassador continued to use commercial email for official government business. The Department email system provides automatic security, record-keeping, and backup functions as required. The Ambassadors requirements for use of commercial email in the office and his flouting of direct instructions to adhere to Department policy have placed the information management staff in a conundrum: balancing the desire to be responsive to their mission leader and the need to adhere to Department regulations and government information security standards.
Bump for LG's take:
Directly from the State Department's IG report (though I'm sure you'll find a way to tell us that it's not a legit source either, because the world's gotta keep on spinning):

Emphasis mine:
So, the policy of the Clinton State Department was that is was completely unacceptable for ambassadors and embassy staff to use non-agency email systems to conduct State business.
Can you explain why what was good for the goose was not good for the gander?
Its 67 pages long. Can you tell me where it discusses the actual policy so i can take a look at that? Thanks.
The policy is not listed in the report. The report repeatedly references regulations and rules, references instructions the ambassador was given, and thus assumes that he knew he wasn't in compliance with those regulations and rules.
So, given that he was instructed to use Department email systems, why was his boss not expected to do so as well?
That seems a bit over the top.
Its this weird psychological problem the entire far right has. They just can't understand why none of the faux scandals has ever gotten any traction. They figure that if they screech loud enough, maybe people will start paying attention to them.
But pretty obvious all they do is drive people away. Tired of hearing them cry "wolf!" only to once again have it turn out to be some manufactured controversy, based on half truths, lies, and speculation without foundation.
