U.S. spy agencies have told Congress that Hillary Clinton’s home computer server contained some emails that should have been treated as “top secret” because their wording matched sections of some of the government’s most highly classified documents, four sources familiar with the agency reports said.Readers of the Hall understand that this last is a remarkable understatement. Not only must you not transmit Top Secret information through a .gov email, you may not transmit it through a .sgov email -- the secured, air-gapped system for merely Secret information. Top Secret information has an even more tightly controlled system where physical access to the computers is restricted by lock and key, as well as by additional information controls should you manage to physically reach such a computer.
The two reports are the first formal declarations by U.S. spy agencies detailing how they believe Clinton violated government rules when highly classified information in at least 22 email messages passed through her unsecured home server…
Under the law and government rules, U.S. officials and contractors may not transmit any classified information – not only documents – outside secure, government-controlled channels. Such information should not be sent even through the government’s .gov email network.
But no, let's just retype the same information into unencrypted, unsecure private email and transmit it via a server kept in some Mom and Pop's bathroom in an industrial park. That's just as good, right? Who'd think to look there?

PlameGate.
I'm sure it's all unintentional, of course, as many normals have claimed. Nothing unusual going on here to see, people.

Actually, Civilian security these days is better than Government Encryption or even NSA military level security. Just as Civilian H2H training is at times much superior to military H2H training, if one considers equal hours spent.
This time they didn't make use of it, perhaps because they suffer from government Democrat bureaucracy and inefficiencies. Due to the nature of a cell distributed de-centralized organization, security is generally harder to break than a unified top down hierarchy of "obey Orders at All Costs" culture.
