Really gives me a lot of confidence that the CIA knows what they are doing when the Director not only gets his personal email hacked, but far worse, he had been forwarding sensitive emails and documents from his CIA email to his personal AOL email.

Regardless of any security systems or policies at the CIA, you'd think that he would have known better then to even attempt to forward sensitive emails and documents over the internet.

It beggars belief that the head of "Intelligence" could do such a thing.

Sorry, this is like the first user training and IT agreement that people must sign. No excuse for Clinton or this clown. The elitism that some say it is OK is disgusting.

There are few things that strip you of clearance and get you walked to the door faster than mishandling sensitive, PII and especially, classified material.

No "mistakes" here. Its the first training you get and its beat into you each year, unless you're one of the elite.
 
He was appointed. That has nothing to do with being qualified for the actual job, absolutely nothing. His CV is a fabrication. The administration has put ordinary working people in jail that have violated even minor security regulations regarding e-mails but never a favored person that was appointed to their position even if the e-mails were marked confidential, secret or top secret or even top secret with special access. Believe me, this CIA appointee/director is there because he follows directions. He and the kid have something in common, they're both hacks.
 
Homeland Security Advisor and the Director of the CIA.

And still dumber than a bag of hammers.

AOL? Are you kidding? These old people just get so stuck in their ways, and just can't move on. I suppose Hillary went back to using her AOL account as well.
 
What do you expect from the [censored]-tastic intelligence community and defense contractor clowns that managed to lose two wars in ten years against savages armed with 50 year old Soviet rifles, and took four years to build a working health insurance website?

Their incompetence doesn't surprise me at all.

Absolutely correct. The constant discussion of what was "marked classified" or "Was any law broken?" is completely superfluous. Public information available already out there supports pulling the clearances of Clinton, her staff and many outsiders who communicted with them. The question in my mind is how are you supposed to be POTUS without a security clearance?
 
AOL? Really? I'm not saying all senior citizens who cannot master technology should be publicly flogged, but if you make an example out of a few of them, the rest might have more incentive to learn, to paraphrase Sheldon Cooper.

I think the big news is that AOL is still around. This is not something unique to computer novices. I have supposed IT experts who can't figure out or be bothered with using their corporate email. I'll get a gmail.com email from them working their cases.


I'm not making excuses for these clowns, I'm simply suggesting there are those who know better, but don't care about the rules.

:-)) Ditto
how many years/decades of emails archive they need to have handy?
 
.gov will ignore this idiot and focus on the kid. I think hackers should be given awards and $$$$ when they manage to hack .gov systems and officials.

Yep, and I'd tell them if they can't handle using their company email properly, they can still buy typewriters from Staples.

Wikileaks says they will be releasing the emails shortly. Brennan is in big trouble.

What a fool. No one should be in the intelligence business if he can't handle encryption, much less his own work email. I'm still flabbergasted that he was using AOL. What year is this?
 
You might think that a secure email system could be built that halts sensitive email from being forwarded off their system. Oh wait, you can build a system like that if you aren't incompetent. The whole thing seems like it could be done better, from end users like this to the supposed engineers that built it.
