Nothing that links to the daily caller is a serious news source.

Plus the article is a pile of stupid innuendo that conflates what Hillary did with Petraeus providing contemporaneously classified documents to his journalist fuckbuddy.

Further, clearly nobody in government had a contemporaneous problem with it since they saw the email address every time they communicated with Hillary Clinton. Whenever they sent her an email, they saw

   Hillary Clinton <hdr22@clintonemail.com>

show up in the email composition window, which certainly cannot be mistaken for a state department email...

In the just released state department report, there are several instances where staff complained about Clinton's use of a private server, and they were told that she had permission to do it and never to mention it again. In fact, no permission was ever sought or given.

IT staff reported issues with clintonemail going to SPAM folders and insisted Clinton use her .gov account, and she refused. IT staff further complained of security issues with her email server and were ignored.

It is simply not the case that no one had a problem with it. Many people did, and they were told to pound sand.

I worked in Federal Government for 7 years. She knew about Records Management, had a records custodian that worked for her, and clearly used clintonemail.com in an official capacity, circumventing State Department and other Federal regulations regarding official records.

My email client just shows the name…

And in any case, “nobody complained about it” isn’t actually a valid legal defense.

Ad hominem?

Sure, news sources can be biased and we should be discerning when we look at them, but that doesn't automatically mean that the source is automatically wrong 100% of the time.

Secret Muslim Barack Obama's new house is near a mosque, and the daily caller is on it!

Neither is linking to the LA Times for that matter. I was simply fighting fire with fire.

The LA Times is a news source while the Daily Caller is an avowed conservative publication founded by Tucker Carlson and one of Dick Cheney's advisors.
