Politico reports:
Hillary Clinton never received training on how to handle classified information. By her own admission, she had little ability to discern whether a document included sensitive information. And when she did handle sensitive materials, she relied on her subordinates to ensure that nothing important was compromised.
Taken together, her responses to questions from FBI [US' Federal Bureau of Investigation] investigators reveal a high-level government executive who apparently had little grasp of the nuances and complexities around the nation's classification system — a blind spot that helped allow classified communications to pass through her private email server.
While Clinton is clear that she never had any intention to mishandle classified documents, a fact that FBI Director James Comey noted as a factor in his decision not to recommend any charges against the former secretary of state, answers she gave to FBI agents during a July 2 interview are likely to reinforce the Republican characterization of her as having been reckless with government secrets.
Bloomberg reports that Clinton Used Eight BlackBerrys, but [the] FBI Couldn't Get Them:
In addition to the eight devices she used as secretary of state, the FBI said there were at least five additional mobile devices they sought as part of their inquiry. Clinton's lawyers said they could not provide any of the mobile devices she used. One person interviewed by the FBI said he recalled two instances in which Clinton's devices were destroyed by "breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer." The FBI released the summary Friday to provide context on its decision not to recommend prosecution of Clinton or her aides for using the private system. The Democratic presidential nominee was interviewed about her use of private e-mail by FBI agents and federal prosecutors for 3 1/2 hours on July 2. The bureau then recommended that the Justice Department not pursue criminal charges.

Ignorance of the law does not absolve one of violations of the law in America.
Except for Hillary. She can escape prosecution of the most egregious crimes against the nation because:
(1) She can blame it on her junior IT staff
(2) She can blame it on her own senility
(3) If she goes down, a lot...A LOT...of other fifth-columnists within the American government are going to go down with her. THAT is the true reason why many are so desperate to see her beat the rap.
(4) She practiced shitty OPSEC to a degree that left the whole nation open for blackmail. Which is why we have to stop them all at step (3)

More likely died due to illnesses relating to his obvious alcoholism and various mental illnesses...

You think you response does anything but add further evidence to my hypothesis? Think again.
You betray more about your character than you think you do with your posting.

I like it when bigots out themselves. Makes it easier to discriminate against them.
Tit for tat and all that.
Also I find it hilarious that you think using the word nigger somehow hurts me. Like a naughty school boy mooning someone. Also, I am neither black or a yank.
For the record I LOVE that he posts here. People should be reminded how bad the scum of the earth really are.
If you only ever expose yourself to the intelligent, empathetic members of society you forget what is out there and become complacent.
So good work!

I don't disagree with the tone of your comment but, to my eye, you used the wrong term.
I think of a fifth column as an anti-establishment (sabotage) group.
ISTM the term that you want is the Deep State [wikipedia.org] which seeks to more deeply embed the status quo and to resist reform.
