Welp… Hillary doesn’t know how to use a computer

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton never used a password to protect her computer emails, and she was clueless about how regular emails work on a conventional computer, according to a deposition of a foreign service officer at the State Department.

------------------------------------------------

In a two-hour deposition with the conservative legal watchdog group Judicial Watch last week, Lewis Lukens also said he offered to set up a “stand-alone” computer for Clinton to check her personal email account, only to be told that she “does not know how to use a computer to do email.”

------------------------------------------------

“The crux of the issue was that BlackBerrys and iPhones are not allowed in the secretary’s office suite, so the question was: How is the secretary going to be able to check her e-mails if she’s not able to have the BlackBerry at her desk with her?”

Hillary Clinton was so attached to her BlackBerry as secretary of state that she was sometimes spotted in the hallway outside her highly secure office using the device, according to a State Department official.

------------------------------------------------

Summary: Clinton circumvented the secure offices at the State Department so she could check her private, unsecured emails on a non-secure, over-the-counter Blackberry. A staffer at Foggy Bottom was asked to install a stand-alone PC so his boss could access personal email with family and friends (or so he was told.) It turns out the email account was actually used for all of the Secretary’s business, including classified communications. But, that plan didn’t work because Hillary Rodham Clinton doesn’t know how to use a computer.

Read the whole thing. It boggles the mind how little the Sec of State for the United States of America cared about the security of our most sensitive communications. She was only supposed to check her emails in ONE secure room in the State Building and Blackberry's were strictly forbidden because they were the least secure device available. She was told this multiple times by the security experts at State. And no password!!! The woman is a monster on the scale of the worst spies in our history.

If she can’t figure out these simple tasks, what qualifies her to be president.

While she may not know how to use it, she clearly knows how to ab-use it.

How many times have we been told “Ignorance is no excuse.”

Usually, that’s in matters of law. But, there’s also the question of competence for her position.

What I want to know is, how can she pretend to be so dumb about this, and so devious about skirting the law, confounding bribes and contributions, and destroying evidence for the past 40 or so years?

She is too stupid and too impatient. I wouldn't trust her to house sit and watch my dog.

Another thing that is only a problem when the candidate has an R after her name.

If you go back over the past twenty years and had to write her resume....it would not go longer than a 3x5 card. The first line would be: “Wife of Bill” and likely to dominate the entire resume.

She also had a famous incident in which she struggled mightily with a fax machine.

I’m glad to see her slowly trapped in a legal corner but I fear that her frequent total incapacitation and staggering health problems from chronic alcoholism will never come to light, at least during her lifetime.

I can boot up my PC, move a mouse, type on my keyboard and run my programs.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to run a personal desktop computer.

If Hillary really is that dumb, she has no business running for President.

Abject ignorance and incompetence cannot be used as a defense for security violations. At least for ordinary citizens.

And she is so.dumb about all of this, yet allegedly she is the smartest woman in the world. Go figure.

You have to approach every breach in communications security with the thought that it was deliberate.

I have a feeling that, at least for the short term, we will learn much more from Judicial Watch.

Well, other than being a criminal and a full-time liar, I do bet she does know how to slip on an orange jumper suit...which she so blatantly deserves to be wearing.

Right.

If you get this, basic modern technology isn’t something she couldn’t get up to speed with but she thinks she can make life and death decisions from the Oval Office.

Technological illiteracy only hides the real problems Hillary has with day to day life.

The hildebeast could learn computer use if she wished, but that type of menial task is so beneath her station it is only for flunkies and functionaries.

If she doesn't know how to use a computer then why did she need a server for herself? Who sent the emails to her daughter?

. white trash lying scum.

I call bullsh**. Evil and nasty as she is, she was a National Merit Scholar in high school. Unless she has Alzheimers, alcohol-induced dementia, or some kind of stroke, she is NOT “stupid”. Everything she did was deliberate, including the feigned ignorance of the “wiping” the server.

So when she said, "Wipe the server? Like with a cloth?" she wasn't kidding?

These, our self-named lords and rulers, are stupid people. Eagerly, perversely, mind-numbingly stupid. And God help us all, they're in charge.
