The State Department missed a court-ordered deadline to release documents about whether Hillary Clinton and her top aides took important security training — because a government lawyer didn’t know how to use his smartphone, a new report said Tuesday.
The Foggy Bottom legal eagle tried to send 8.4 megabytes worth of documents at 7:58 p.m. Monday to the Daily Caller to meet a midnight deadline, according to court papers filed by the government on Tuesday, The Hill reported.

These people are just too unbelievable for words.
I know a government attorney that was on the road and was upset because she was missing her deadline to file a travel voucher. She was convinced that the only way she could file that report was on her own computer at her own office.
So, this story of the Hillary attorney is actually possible!
So, this story of the Hillary attorney is actually possible!”
The State Department claimed it needed 100’s of people to work on this. Supposedly, none of these people have any idea how to use a smartphone.
She may not have been properly motivated to ask her associates how to do it (i.e, in the tank for Hillary) but her ignorance is believable imho.
Government attorneys are mostly baby boomers with very limited knowledge of technology—and most are Hillary supporters.
i am sure they mean to forward 8.4MB of docs in an email, right? He was not attaching and sending this? This is thousands of pages of docs and they would not be on his phone or SD card, right?
I’ll bet she knows how to file billable hours with it though.
Give him a couple of years in the Graybar Hotel to figure it out.
Pure lying BS from the left, as usual.
It would probsbly be good for you to brush up on the meaning of the prefixes to memory storage units.
"Kilo" means a thousand = 1,000 units
"Mega means a thousand kilos, which is a thousand thousand, or one million = 1,000,000 units
"Giga" means a thousand megas, which is a million kilos, or a billion = 1,000,000,000 units
"Tera" means a thousand gigas, which is a million megas, or a billion kilos = 1,000,000,000,000 units
********
Now, what does that mean in terms of an email memo?
Well, one letter of the alphabet, or one apostrophe, or one comma, or one character causing a jump to the next line uses two bytes. In terms of the size of the code to make a short business memo, like this one, up to this period >.< takes almost exactly one thousand bytes, or one kilobyte.
Therefore, it would take about one megabyte to hold a thousand of such brief messages. That would be equivalent to one of the old 3 1/2 inch floppy disks, so the "8.4MB" (eight and four tenths of MegaBytes) would take up no more than, say, ten of those floppy disks.
But what does that mean in terms of a smartphone memory SD chip? Well, my cell phone is almost ten years old, but I bought a little teeny microchip for it that is sixteen gigabytes (16GB), and that would be equivalent to about 2,000 times the amount of information that the government lawyer was supposed to transfer by email.
Could that 8.4MB fit on an up-to-date smartphone? Well, sure, it would be a miniscule amount of the information storage needed to complete just one internet session on the internet for a smartphone.
A knowlegeable friend or associate can help you to grasp this concept.
But just think, how little smartphone space it takes for these thousands of simple text messages (SMTs) it takes to move whole nations in the wrong direction!
(2KB = 0.002MB for the total text of this response to you, up to this point ==> X)
When they have a secretary that is the first clue they are lost in the modern age... ;-)
Funny story—the last time I had a secretary was about twenty five years ago—I had to fire her because she disagreed with me about the _content_ of my correspondence.
Computers never argue!
Done all the time. They store various types of doc’s, images, videos. And can email them. 8.4mb on a 8 or 16 or 32 or 64gb phone is nothing. Email server mb limits or weak cell signal are bigger snags.
So many people use PCs and smartphones, every day, all day, but know so very little about their capabilities, it amazes me. They only know those certain things they use to do their job or entertain themselves.
The lack of understanding of how many things work is why when SHTF so many Americans will be utterly helpless.
Unless she had a government issued laptop with her, that was probably true. You can't fill out a travel voucher with a a Blackberry, and you can't access the secure systems with a personal machine.
My smartphone has things on it that I don’t even know WTH they are! So I could see that being a valid excuse, for me anyway!
That’s the lamest excuse ever.
Just more excuses from the "best and brightest."
Lawyer has to use phone - therefor lawyer was not at office computer
Response was not ready until 8PM - why wasn’t lawyer at office preparing response?
It seems pretty clear the lawyer is lying.
