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.

"the US military is getting antsy"
Well, it's about time. Many of the best leaders have already been fired, retired, or flushed from the system, because they resist all the social justice warrior bullshit forced upon them.
It's about time because homeland security and the TSA is being promoted to the level of the DOD.
It's about time, because this farce of a two-party system could come crumbling down at any time.
I am positively sick of what they have done to our military, and the military has just gone along with much of it. Our air power has taken a tremendous hit with the F-35, the damned thing can't fly, can't fight, can't do shit. It's only purpose is to make some select people unbelievable rich, while at the same time weakening our military. Ditto for that piece of shit destroyer the navy has had shoved up it's ass. We already had better littoral craft than the Zumwalt, but we just had to have a billion dollar POS that can't sail in a storm.
The military is finally getting antsy?
They've been asleep at the wheel for the past fifteen years and more.
It's about time they wake up.
