Hillary Clinton and her senior aids did not comply with the State Department’s record-keeping policies according to a new 83-page report from the Inspector General. While former secretary of state officials such as John kerry, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell “handled classified material on unclassified email systems”, Clinton failed to follow federal records laws and potentially jeopardized official secrets by failing to ask or be granted permission to use a personal server, “never demonstrated” to State Department security officials that her personal server or BlackBerry “met minimum information security requirements” and chose to forgo using an official department email address. The internal watchdog report is separate from the ongoing FBI investigation into Clinton’s emails. Elliot Hill and Mark Sovel take a closer look at the state department report on the Lip News.
