    Just a friendly reminder.....This is wrong.

    There were paragraphs marked with paragraph markings (c) (s) (ts) that identified those paragraphs as classified.

    Well I recall a convenient exit.

    In what respects? Why is one acceptable and the other not?

    It depends on the nature of the emails, and whether or not he was authorized to use that account for non-classified communication.

    The thing that liberals love to forget is that the reason Hillary's email server is such a big deal is because, first of all, it was secret; secondly, it was unsecure and basically wide open to any foreign government who wanted to login and take a peek; and third, she used the server for sending and receiving classified information.

    So unless all or some of that also applies to Pompeo, there is no analogous circumstance here.

    Just a friendly reminder there were no at-the-time classified secrets on Clinton's email server.

    However, my question was about parity and probity. Clinton was vilified with chants to "Lock her up". So, if it is sauce for the goose is it sauce for the gander?

    It really depends on what type of material he was sending through private email. Schedules doesn't sound like a big deal. Classified information does. Why haven't the democrats condemned Clinton for sending classified material through a server she had in a closet? But they are ready to jump on Pompeo for sending a schedule through to his private email? Sounds like a double standard.

    I stand corrected. I meant classified material would compromise security, not something like "Hey dude, glad to see you back at work."

    But as standard practice, people who deal with security matters shouldn't use anything other than a secured email system for work - regardless of individual email content. Mistakes can be made.
    That's the purpose of the cc or the forward. So the record auditors can make sure they don't.

    Your use of Russian propaganda techniques aside, do you think Pompeo did anything wrong?
    Hillary sent CLASSIFIED information through a non-classified personal server. HUGE difference. One's legal, the other isn't.

    Why do you laymen think this is an issue? He sent and received schedules. That's all that is provided. Official schedules aren't classified. Heck, any of you clowns can request the official schedule of ANY government official with a FOIA request. There is nothing wrong with receiving schedules on your personal email as long as you are copied on your official email as well, or you provide access to those records if they aren't. Nothing in this latest fake "bombshell" says anything about whether or not those records were cc'd to the official account, so this is a fine example of ignorant outrage porn.

    But wait - what if that statement is a projection? Perhaps you're projecting about projecting.
