Security features turned off on State Department servers...

so that the State Department's computers would stop putting Hillary's emails from her private server into spam folders.
A 2010 decision temporarily disabling State Department security features to accommodate Hillary Clinton’s private server effectively laid out a "welcome mat" for hackers and foreign intelligence services, a leading IT official who oversaw computer security at the Defense Intelligence Agency told Fox News.

"You're putting not just the Clinton server at risk but the entire Department of State emails at risk," said Bob Gourley, former chief technology officer (CTO) for the DIA. "When you turn off your defensive mechanisms and you're connected to the Internet, you're almost laying out the welcome mat for anyone to intrude and attack and steal your secrets."

He was referring to revelations from new court-released documents in a lawsuit by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch. They show the State Department temporarily turned off security features in 2010 so that emails from then-Secretary of State Clinton's personal server would stop going to the department's spam folders.
This is far worse than I first thought it was, I though that Hillary had just turned her security features on her server, but she apparently had the State Department turn theirs off just to keep her emails from going to spam. Gross arrogance and complete lack of carrying for the American people.

Imagine all the State Dept and White House staffers who had to know, for four years, that this was going on.

An ordinary citizen with a private server could not simply email State Dept officials or the White House without the email being blocked or sent to a spam folder.

This is a crystal clear violation of the law regarding custody of sensitive documents, but the DoJ under Loretta Lynch has not done a single solitary thing about it.

That's because Hillary has already pointed out, everyone knew I was using a private server including Obama, so what's the big deal? If the DOJ goes after Hillary, she'll point at Obama and say "why didn't he say something if I was wrong?"

It's big government corruption.

We are still waiting for Trump to come up with the source who he quoted as saying that Clinton's server was hacked.

One source would be Clinton's own email.

The hacker had it, and he was in another country.

But that's not the statutory test for breaking the law.

Hillary failed to use proper custodial control over sensitive info, and she did that repeatedly and consistently for four (4) years.

Loretta Lynch has to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to proceed on her own given such a shockingly clear violation of the law.
