I agree that 90% of the scandal is complete b.s. But 10% is very troubling.

I'm sorry, but if I can manage to carry two cell phones -- one personal, one for work as a government employee -- so could Sec. Clinton. Especially considering that she has assistants where I don't.

Additionally, the fact that it took months for her campaign to recognize that this was actually an issue -- at least to those of us who were taught by our grandmothers that "two wrongs don't make a right; just because someone broke the rules before you and got away with it doesn't mean you can, too" -- and that it took months for her to actually apologize are valid issues and concerns.

It's a pain and she's the boss so she didn't. Just like her predecessor. -- nm - pmb Nov 5, 20:05
Heh, I also carry two phones daily. A work phone and a private phone. I mean it's SO HARD TO DO!!! -- nm - Bacon Nov 5, 17:51 5

      - Heh, I knew I worded that wrong. What do you want to know about how I handled it. What the rules were. We had a ton of training about it. -- nm - Bacon Nov 5, 18:18 1
        
        By the way my MOS was to send and receive classified communications. :) - Bacon Nov 5, 18:24
