On March 19, an IT employee at the Hillary Clinton campaign gave John Podesta, the campaign chairman, some computer-security advice. “John needs to change his password immediately,” he wrote in an email, “and ensure that two-factor authentication is turned on his account.”

The helpdesk staffer was responding to a Google alert with a bright red banner that had been sent to Podesta’s personal Gmail account. The alert said that someone in Ukraine had tried signing into Podesta’s email, and prompted him to change his password. An aide to Podesta had forwarded the warning when she saw it in his inbox.

Now, it is a typo that cost Hillary Clinton the election. Too many excuses!  :mental:

Well, she didn't know that "C" meant classified and/or confidential.

You tend to think back about a video that caused the raid on Benghazi. I am starting to see a trend here.
