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.

People found in possession of large quantities of cash usually have it confiscated by police on the assumption it was acquired illegally.
We know Herself didn’t do much for her many millions. But her actions did make national secrets available.

She was told this multiple times by the security experts at State.

You are working WITH a bunch of self-important Politicians & Lawyers (professional liars) who are concerned ONLY with their 'careers'.

You are working FOR the People of the United States of America. Your job is to DEFEND the Constitution against ALL enemies, both Foreign & Domestic.

STEP 1 - If you learn that one of the aforementioned Professional Liars unknowingly is doing anything detrimental to the country, correct & instruct them in proper procedures.

STEP 2 - If this has no effect, call in your supervisor.

STEP 3 - if this has no effect, use:

Once again, Hillary has painted herself into a corner. Based on this information, there are only 2 choices available:

1) Queen Hillary is so stupid and so out-of-touch that she doesn’t even know how to do a simple task on a desktop computer...and is thus FAR from being the “world’s smartest person” ... and is thus unqualified to be President; or

2) Queen Hillary is a liar, under oath, and is therefore not qualified to be President.

Take your choice, Hillary - it is up to you: either your as dumb as a box of rocks, or as corrupt and dishonest as most people believe you to be.

Does anyone remember this blast from the past?

Bush Encounters the Supermarket, Amazed By ANDREW ROSENTHAL, Published: February 5, 1992

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 4— As President Bush travels the country in search of re-election, he seems unable to escape a central problem: This career politician, who has lived the cloistered life of a top Washington bureaucrat for decades, is having trouble presenting himself to the electorate as a man in touch with middle-class life.

Today, for instance, he emerged from 11 years in Washington's choicest executive mansions to confront the modern supermarket.

Visiting the exhibition hall of the National Grocers Association convention here, Mr. Bush lingered at the mock-up of a checkout lane. He signed his name on an electronic pad used to detect check forgeries.

"If some guy came in and spelled George Bush differently, could you catch it?" the President asked. "Yes," he was told, and he shook his head in wonder.

Then he grabbed a quart of milk, a light bulb and a bag of candy and ran them over an electronic scanner. The look of wonder flickered across his face again as he saw the item and price registered on the cash register screen.....

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

Are you assuming that she knows how to type?

[4yearlurker]

The reporter should have answered Clinton: "Yes like a cloth" did you wipe it?" Hillary says yes and the reporter's headline to the article could read: "Hillary Clinton admits wiping computer!" She would then have to keep bringing it up and answer questions about the article.

They made up the story about Bush. Not surprising that Hillary is treated in a different manner.

I guess this means she would not be able to design and build a computer to replace herself like Landru did in Star Trek TOS “Return of the Archons”?

What did ya expect from trailer trash klintoons!??

[WKUHilltopper]

No problem...she won’t have access much to a computer in prison anyway.

[sheana]

Yep. That’s how my desktop is set up. And most email works mostly the same whether it’s on my desktop, iPad, or iPhone.
This is just more BS and that’s the excuse her peon used to shut up the IT guy.

[chuckee]

Bottom line simple fact of the matter and cut to the chase is this woman was committed to keep all of her correspondence sent and received under her exclusive control regardless of state rules and regulations and Freedom of Information law so no one other than she had access to it. It was just as important that e mails she received were shielded from all as well as e mails sent because deniability of knowledge is stock and trade to her constantly carefully weaved defenses that someone else was at fault and she was kept out of the loop. Destruction of the 31,000 e mails that she refused to turn over to State were in keeping with her history of concealment and denial.

few public officials have pleaded confusion and ignorance and been more credible

[B212]

and so...someone had to set up the server idea in her brain....or did it without her knowledge.....the plot(s) thickens

And she’s beyond teaching, I guess?
