Subject: RE: BS: Understanding the other political side
Dang, Bruce, I thought from the first message that you had finally come to understand and respect the rest of us, and then quickly you moved back to wanting Hillary in Prison and Trump on the Golden Throne.

All that "Hillary for Prison" stuff is kind of a moot point by now, not that it ever had much weight. She did the best she could about Benghazi, in an impossible situation. Her "What does it matter?" remark has been twisted in so many ways, that nobody seems to remember its original context. I heard the remark in context, and it seemed to me that she was expressing anguish at the loss of people who were working for her and wondering why this was a time for her questioners to be working to make political hay off the tragedy.

As for the email question, were Hillary's emails stolen by anyone, by any foreign power or by Wikileaks or somebody? Don't agency heads have authority to make policy regarding the security of their agencies' communications? She may not have followed procedures exactly, and for that she might be blamed for carelessness or failure to follow rules - but treason? No, I don't think it's treason.

And for that matter, the security of Hillary's email seems to have been better than the failed security of the communications of most federal agencies, including my own.

But anyhow, Bruce, I'm disappointed that you haven't come to understand us. We're very nice people. So are you....much of the time.

P.S. Bruce, you may have had security training, and that's nice. I gave security training, and conducted security clearance investigations for 25 years....and I'm not particularly impressed by people who say they had security training, even if they are nice people.
