Maddow's shameful lies last night

Rachel gleefully presented a giant stack of paper with a flourish, to demonstrate how hard it would have been to comply with the Department of State "Print and File" rule for e-mail retention.

She failed to mention one little detail. That rule only applies to the rare cases when a Department employee is forced to use a private e-mail channel. It was intended to discourage the use of private e-mail. Had Hillary used the normal government e-mail system, she would not have been bound by the print and file rule.

In a sense, it doesn't matter, because she flouted both rules, and numerous others anyway.

On Thu May 26, 2016, 09:13 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Wow. Of all the lame hilly fan posts defending your dear leader, this is the weakest.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2056469

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

dear leader is a reference to the dictator of North Korea. Comparing Democrats in such a light is not only disrespectful but smacks of republican tactics.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu May 26, 2016, 09:18 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Borderline but not quite hideable
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If the post to which this one is a response stays, then this one must stay. Else, hide them both.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Cali is mocking a poster's devotion to Hillary, not equating Hillary with the leader of North Korea--and Cali is no Republican. (Stop that, alerter.)
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Poster was responding to a trollish post. Unsavory, but not hide worthy.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Thu May 26, 2016, 01:49 PM
May 2016

Back in the day, when I had cable I enjoyed her appearances on Keith Olbermann, couldn't wait until she had a show.

But she quickly established a format which didn't gel with what I expected, the friday cocktail schtick, she obviously thought was cute and funny was lame to me. Her Republican guests were soft balled I didn't much appreciate.. begging they accept her invitations.


I think she's very intelligent, I did enjoy her participation on MTP a couple of occasions I had seen her on, back during Dubya's term. It's not as if she's lacking in skill set and acumen as political commentator. Unfortunately, she's no journalist, but that's no longer a requirement these days.

Now the few times I watch her are in short clips underscoring the point being made in an op. Our biases are in conflict with the other which makes it quite difficult to listen to her anymore, as she's obviously throwing away a great deal of credibility for her candidate at any cost. That's sad.

...but putting that preconception aside, I really don't want to watch a reverse carbon copy of Shawn Hannity's show where the host belittles everyone who doesn't steer the show to an idealistic goal. That's the kind of screamfest that Jon Stewart railed against.

I want to hear what a guest has to say and let it get sorted out later. Certainly an interviewer can ask follow up questions, but many want to see the host pound the desk and call the guest a fucking liar. I actually enjoyed "Uncle Pat's" visits before he got banned from MSNBC.

just as one example.

I totally, totally agree with you.

I don't want a"counter" to Shawn Hannity types.

I would rather a counter to the Wolf Blitzer types. I want a straight up journalist with a show, not from the left pov or the right pov or even the CENTER pov No sensationalism, no missing the point of the matter at hand. Apparently that's just too hard

But wouldn't it be refreshing for a change?

There was this one guy on MSNBC for a very short run, and I can't for the life of me remember his name, but he had a show in the period during the crash and Obama's inauguration. I think his last name started with a D. if that helps. (sheesh, my memory sometimes)

His beat was Wall Street, The Crash and how that impacted Main Street.

He was awesome. He reported and interviewed with a manner that was hard, straight up to the point with meaningful follow ups..

Then one day he was just disappeared from the network. No explanation.

*poof* After that I cut the cord.

PBS Snooze Hour is about as soft ball as I can handle without screaming at the tv, and still do that sometimes, LOL.

Considering that literally no one takes the position that Sanders is neck & neck with Hillary I have to wonder why Bernie supporters even have cable TV. It has to seem odd that the only "unbiased news" is on The Young Turks.

I saw a post yesterday that said DU has been taken over by the oligarchs.

Hillary herself was doing that, over and over, changing the subject away from the server and using the term "personal email" as if it was the same thing.

No, Hillary. Three things she did wrong, and the second two were NOT done by others before you or since:

1. Used personal email for state business.
2. Ran personal email through their own domain: clintonemial.com
3. Ran that email and domain on hardware housed in her personal residence.

She had total control over everything and then decided herself what to save and what to delete before scrubbing the hard drives and then sending the drives out to a professional drive-destroyer.

It's like she was her own country.

Their use, per the IG report, was minor, not normal practice. Clinton had her own private email server (not the same as a commercial email account) that she conducted almost all of her Dept of State business l, as well as Clinton Foundation business, as well as personal business.

In no part of the private or public sector is an employee allowed to subvert IT security and record retention policies because they don't like them. Why is she special? Why is the stand of conduct being reduced to the lowest common denominator?
Just because "everyone else" is speeding doesn't mean you should not get a ticket for speeding if you get stopped by a cop. Real life soesnt work that way.

Bernie folks probably give less of a shit about it than most demographics. Bernie could have been attacking on this point for months now and hasn't. The media and political class going nuts about this (some with reason, some less so) are 95% not for Bernie. The one who will use it the most - Trump - is not "Bernie folks." Wise up.

They are relentlessly attacking all things left. It is why we are seeing story after story about Sanders supporters coming back home to Clinton. His supporters attacks on all things progressive looks really bad to those who truly do support a progressive agenda.

Keep up the good work. It's not costing Clinton a dime.

that State implemented the SMART & Capstone systems to provide an electronic alternative to print & file.

Quote from the OIG report (Emphasis mine):

At the Department, compliance with this regulation and preservation of emails that constitute Federal records can be accomplished in one of three ways: print and file; incorporation into the State Messaging and Archive Retrieval Toolset (SMART); or the use of the NARA-approved Capstone program for capturing the emails of designated senior officials.

Just like the "Nobody cares" or "No laws were broken" claims by her supporters. Clearly one was broken (gross negligence) but it doesn't matter because Sec Clinton, as a "leader", is not responsible. Ever,. For anything.

All negative stories about her are the RW's or Sanders' supporters fault.
Criticism of her policy positions are misogyny.
Policy shifts on her positions are "evolution" not pandering.
Losing to Trump will be Sanders' supporters fault and not because she's a poor candidate.

Other leaders are accountable not only for their own actions but for their subordinates actions but Sec Clinton? No. She's a victim.

So stop all this whinning and move onto so e cool stuff....lime she just released thirty really groovy songs on a play list and President Bill Clinton is going to be Czar of something. So sort of like wow two for one!!!!

of those that are committing serious crimes. But Hillary supporters here tend to be the strongest anti Snowden and Manning voices on DU. Manning exposed mass-murder and Snowden exposed unconstitutional behavior.

Hillary likely gave up, with her selfish behavior, far more actual classified information than Snowden and Manning did.

Trump and his supporters aren't the only authoritarians in this race.

Additionally, there are other approved retention methods including PDF, Floppy Disk/Memory Sticks even photographs and microfiche are acceptable under some circumstances.

And, get this, HRC had people working for her.. they were recording her TV Shows, getting her Tea, finding her glasses....maybe one of them could have done some e-mail retention for HRC a couple days a week
