Anyone?

I’m sorry Horowitz but this dog won’t hunt. As we have found out among cries of ‘lock her up’ ALL of them do it. Republicans, Democrats, Cabinet officials, ever hypocritical Congresscritters. THEN they dance around the classified/not classified but SHOULD have been classified, maybe, shoulda, coulda, woulda…

And that’s the hypocrisy of the lock her up call. Unless and until that same chant is used against Comey and everyone else, including Trump (who tweets regularly from his personal phone), this needs to stop.

And the media need to make it stop.

Yeah, I know - stop laughing.

Yeah, pretty much everyone who ever used email has done that. Luddite exceptions like Trump prove the rule, but then he blurts out classified information to Russian visitors and also tears up official documents, so there’s that.

Let he who has sinned not throw the first stone.

“And so, it is not uncommon for either one of us to just either switch to our personal phones or, or in this case, where it was going to be a, a fairly substantive thing that he was writing, to just save ourselves the trouble of not doing it on our Samsungs. Because they are horrible and super-frustrating.”

Honestly who can argue that Samsung’s are horrible and super-frustrating? This something we can all agree on.

Correction needed: the FBI phones were frustrating agents by the PRESENCE of autocorrect, not the LACK of it. Many of us would aggressive with this feeling up.

I remain continually discouraged that my own personal security practices are often superior to those of super serious senior people who ought to know better.

But then I remember the super serious senior people are the same everywhere, no matter the color of their tie. Nearly all of them behave as if the rules don’t apply or don’t exist.

(Maybe the problem is that Hillary Clinton doesn’t wear a tie /sarc)

Well… what the fuck.

The bias against Hillary is fucking insane. And real.

Nope, no “everybody does it” excuses. This is the motherfucking director of the motherfucking eff bee eye. Comey has skated on his height, his reputation, his being a victim of the Orange Loser for too long.

Lock HIM up, goddammit.

But first, put him under oath and ask him this one publicly humiliating question, to make up for all the public humiliation of Secretary Clinton:

“Isn’t it true that the real reason you sabotaged Secretary Clinton’s campaign is that your fanatically Hillary-hating wife threatened to never suck you cock again if you didn’t?”

Self-righteous asshole.

Trump: And Crooked James Comey probably used an unsecured phone to Tweet messages, too!
Oh, wait…

Any of us who have lived in Government/Big corporate IT world understand these motivations all too well. The Corproate Information Security Officers of the world basically don’t care how much their standards and diktats gum up everything for the worker bees. So the worker bees find ways to function.

Oh, and pompous as they are about their dictated standards, their track record for protecting the data is not really much better than what many of us (John Podesta excluded) do by using gmail, etc. Just ask, say, the OPM.
