They are talking about a Windows password to access the computer. Many home computer users do not use passwords, since they don’t think anyone can get physical access to their keyboard.

Within the computer, she would have had Outlook installed to view her emails. It would have to set up to authenticate to her home server in some manner. Presumably, an https connection would be used.

The danger is obvious; anyone who had physical access to the computer could sit down and use it. That person could not only read Hillary Clinton’s email, he could send emails ‘from’ Hillary Clinton.

So there is not even any proof that Hillary Clinton actually sent the emails that are ‘from’ her. She could have had Huma Abedin or Cheryl Mills sit down at that computer and compose emails.

Well, that is certainly true.

However, ZERO home computer users have classified material from the State Department on their home computer.

I’m confused about what computer Lukens is talking about. There was also a standalone desktop computer offered to Clinton in her office which would not have had a password that was declined and never set up. Presumably, based on bits and pieces of testimony that have come out, this is because it was not technically possible to log onto the State system without multiple layers of security but also because it was thought that she was using it to email family and friends and not for official business ??

My home computer that either only I or my husband use has a password, and it’s different for each of us. It’s just not that hard.

Considering the time-frame that she graduated from college...is it not likely that she never took a typing course, and can’t type either? That might be an obvious reason why she liked the Blackberry because of the ‘hen-peck’ method of typing.

Correct me if I’m wrong but couldn’t remote access be utilized? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some hacks for remote controlling computers.

I never had passwords on my first two computers, just my third, an imac. I always had to have a password to access my email. And after the first account, I always had to configure my own email settings (with some help from isp walkthroughs).

Gmail has been a trip. I got it set up with help files, just click on the damn stamp on the dock. Then I decided I wanted to access my isp email account and combine with my gmail email, went for years accessing it on the web and not being able to download. Then I got sick of that one day and googled and found a walk through.

It's all set up the way I wanted, but I sure have to enter my password a lot if I get logged out. Anyway, the only thing I don't like is I haven't been able to figure out how to archive anything. And I download my isp emails (it shows me which are which) and chose leave them on the server also for backup. And a couple more points I shouldn't bother people with. It works.

I have too many passwords for so many different accounts now I forget them and am locked out until I find them or change them. I never record them on my computer though except when I have to type them when I sign in somewhere.

Hillary is totally inflexible and unable to adapt, not a good trait for a POTUS.

And in spite of spilling a lot of beans, I got a feeling this Lukens guy wasn't totally truthful to protect Hillary and her staff and probably his own skin. He knew things he said he didn't.

on the other hand, by having no secure access to her Outlook, her minions had access to her Outlook account and so did Bubba

you could have access to my account if you were given the ID and pass word

I was wondering what kind of lie she would use to wiggle out of responsibility... Thanks for the hint.
