People really should learn to not reuse usernames. Unique password per site, and unique name as well. This won't protect anyone from government agents, but it will make it harder for an Internet mob to determine your identity.

I use 'redblacktree' everywhere, but I'm very aware that it's public and traceable to my real-life identity. (though, there are unfortunately a few sites where someone else took the name... Notably Twitter)

"a racist, mysoginist[sic] demagogue" "Hillary may have issues but she is also possibly the most experienced presidential candidate of the last couple of decades." s/Trump/Clinton/ and your statement: "Essentially your response is repeating talking points of the Trump campaign." serves as a valid critique of your own response. - Qualified for not, Clinton's corruption has been confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt ov…

At least vote. Write in your dog, if you have to. Otherwise future politicians won't aware that you will be at the poll, ready to vote for them, and they'll pander to someone else.

> The removal of private email addresses should be left to the State Department who was in charge of releasing those emails. Only for her work email account.

Yeah, a private email account which was used extensively for official government business. With no work email account ever setup. It's a matter of law that any and all work related emails on a personal email address are to be handed over for future FOIA requests, etc. upon leaving office. If I used my personal email address for all communication with my companies clients for work, they'd demand all of those emails wh…

> If I used my personal email address for all communication with my companies clients for work, they'd demand all of those emails when I left the company.

But they wouldn't be able to get them, no matter how hard they demanded.

Personal email addresses exist. Companies have to deal with that fact.

The actual facts aside, this makes her appear far less electable, as her campaign camp looks like it's being run by a bunch of clowns. Just from a PR perspective, this could not have come at a worse time. The collapse at the 9/11 memorial, the "basket of deplorables", and the mention of the Pepe meme on her official website. Right after a couple of muslim terror attacks, some evidence surfaces purporting that she tri…

It's going to be mildly amusing when our bizzare micro-obsession over State Department email retention policies leads to domestic ethnic cleansing.

Yep, but it became under their jurisdiction when it was discovered that she did government business via the private server. There are various different reasons why (and when) her email was requested by investigators. If I'm not mistaken, the existence of Clinton's private server was alluded to when Guccifer 1.0 hacked Sidney Blumenthal's emails, which included memos to her private address: http://www.thesmokinggun.co…

No, it didn't.

It's still her private email account. They can request nicely to see them, but they can't forcibly see them without a warrant.

What's wrong with HRC calling white supremacists and nationalists deplorable? (edit: I'll proudly take downvotes for calling a spade a spade.)

Because she's trying to assign guilt by association. I'm sure most people that support white supremacy are, in fact, Trump supporters. Does that logically make all Trump supporters white supremacists? And what is wrong with a bit of Nationalism? I personally feel globalization has most been a clever campaign to allow large business to play wage arbitrage. The current division of wealth in the US supports my idea.

White nationalists support him more than any other Republican candidate and it's largely because he panders to them with thinly veiled or occasionally overt racism.

I honestly can't understand how anybody is considering voting for Clinton or Trump. If this world was anything close to reasonable, Gary Johnson would win in a landslide. shrug

I usually do like the Libertarian candidate better than the other options... but not this year.

What's not to like about "What's Aleppo?" Gary and his RINO running mate?

Maybe you should tell the State Department that:

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/0801b24d47274f0fac60beedc5f2e...

^ Former Secretary Hillary Clinton failed to turn over a copy of a key message involving problems caused by her use of a private homebrew email server, the State Department confirmed Thursday...The email was not among the tens of thousands of emails Clinton turned over to the agency in response to public records lawsuits seeking copies of her official correspondence. Abedin, who also used a private account on Clinton's server, provided a copy from her own inbox after the State Department asked her to return any work-related emails.

The State Department did not get a warrant before asking Clinton and her staff to turn over emails that went through Clinton's server.

I don't think he's said anything about having a problem with legal immigrants.

Incorrect. He wants to end the H1B visa program (despite the fact that he uses for seasonal work at his club in Florida) and he does not want to accept political refugees attempting to come to the US legally.

There's a difference between immigration law and immigrants. Your comment doesn't address what the parent commentor said.

> "As a PST file or exported MSG files, this could be done though, yes? > The issue is that these emails involve the private email address of someone you'd recognize, and we're trying to replace it with a placeholder address as to not expose it." From the way it reads it looks like he is asking how to bulk remove an email address from the archived messages so when they are turned over they don't contain the redacted…

I don't care much for Hillary or Trump, Democrat or Republican.

I think noting Bush's similar actions does not make Hillary's actions right. The old 'Two wrongs don't make a right' bit here.

There was plenty of anti-Bush press during his term too, so I can't answer to the lack of public outcry specifically on his email doings; perhaps, there was just too much other low-hanging fruit. Although, suspicions were raised blaming the Bush administration for the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that devastated parts of Indonesia and Thailand, and other earthquakes [1,2]. Sure a lot of them are flat-earther types, but you'd be surprised how some of the links I googled on this were just political forums.
