This story about the state Department Inspector general report took the front page. Spot in most major newspapers. In the usa today, clinton broke security rules is the headline for the front page of the new faults on, clinton email server. Clinton violates policies on email is the front page of the Washington Post. State Department Watchdog rebukes clinton over email. It was first reported by politico yesterday. Their headline, clinton violated email rules. One of the reporters is rachel bade. Good morning. Caller good morning. Host what did Hillary Clinton do . How critical was the Inspector General of the secretary herself in this report . Caller very essential. The report contradicted core defense that she has had on the email issue the whole time, the notion that what she did was allowed and she broke no rules. The Inspector General found that is not the case. That she was not allowed to do this and broke a number of rules that i been on the books for years before she came to the state department. She was supposed to use an authorized account and had an. Bligation, it sounds like she tells the Top Technology officials at the state department. These officials told the Inspector General had she told them they would have said stop doing this. Soundsart is that it like this is hushhush at the state department. Some people brought it up that had heard about it. They said, listen him a we are not sure if it follows the rules. They were told to sit down, be quiet, mind your own business, and never bring this up again. Host the clinton camp, in their response to the report, it was leaked after numbers of capitol hill received a copy, correct . Caller basically, yes. Say and a lot of people used private email. To an extent they are correct. The state talks about department having issues with people using private email for work. They are changing the story. The main take away from the report was that her extensive use of this and the private server went beyond anything we had seen at the state department in past years. Number of things she contradicted in the past. Clinton has said there were no hacking issues, they were not concerned, no one ever brought up anything about hacking. Which is important because she had content that was classified on the server. Staffer, ones top of his top staffers, who set up the account and server for her emailed one of her closest , we have to shut down the server because we are getting hacked. Sign. S a telltale the red flag shows that her closest staffers knew a bout a job. Tial hack what does that say about the security of the information . Her critics will highlight this and say she had horrible judgment in this area. Host can the Inspector General against secretary clinton for this . What does it mean for the ongoing separate fbi investigation . Caller it will definitely be something they are reading. The fbi is coordinating with for thers general state department and intelligence community. Mail will be something they are watching to see if anyone knew this was a potential security threat. One of the biggest repercussions beyond the legal question is what this will mean for the next couple of months. This plays very much toward her biggest negative, that people do not find her trustworthy. We have donald trump in the corner calling her dishonest hillary, or hillary the liar. This is playing right into his hands. There are so many things in this report that contradicted a lot of stuff she said about the email and her email use on the private server in the past. Host is the Inspector Generals job done . Caller i think there will be followup. Hillary clinton and her top staffers refused to be interviewed. There is a lot of information that has yet to be gathered and put out. They say they did not cooperate with the probe because they are under investigation with the fbi and they just want to work with the fbi. That they will talk afterwards. She had said from day one that she would cooperate with any probe on the issue. This is sort of a change in workegy almost to only with the fbi and not with a nonpartisan entity of the government charged with looking into the issue. Host rachel bade has been covering this story since nearly day one with politico. You can check out her work at politico. Com. Thank you for being here. Caller happy to be on. Asking for your reaction to the Inspector General report we will go through in our first 45 minutes of the washington journal. Democrats, republicans, and independents. We will start with max in michigan. Good morning. You are up first on the host washington journal. Caller it goes to how untrustworthy Hillary Clinton is. I voted democratic in a most every election since i have been able to vote. This year, if hillary is the nominee i do not think i can. I do not trust her. I think she has too many negatives. There has never in a president ial candidate with this kind of investigation over her head. If the Democratic Party wants to defeat donald trump, they have to consider dropping her from t and nominating Bernie Sanders. There is no way Hillary Clinton can be donald trump. I know many people who consider themselves independent now who used to consider themselves democratic. There are too many things that Hillary Clinton has done the way she is shown bad judgment. She has driven people away from the party. I think it is not going to get any better for her. She has to drop out of the race if she wants to stop donald trump from becoming president. Host you mentioned the trustworthiness issue. Heres the latest at the cbs New York Times poll that came out last week. Is the candidate honest and trustworthy . Said shelinton, 32 was honest and trustworthy. 64 said she was not honest and trustworthy. Showing Donald Trumps honest and trustworthy rating 31 . 64 saying she is not honest and trustworthy. See if this report from the Inspector General changes anything. Erwin in florida. The mccracken. Democrat. Good morning. powell, he should let the public know exactly what he did and how he did it. Email. Ll americans own they know what they are. The atomic bomb secrets were smuggled out of los alamos on the back of a jello box. What im saying is that people were amazed as a witness during that period. 40 years later i was talking to a friend about how this was smuggled out of loss almost. I remember my parents talking to friends. Family members talking about the jello box. It doesnt happen with emails. Almost everyone owns an email. It is nothing secret. Nothing that people do not have. The last point is donald trump. How can a man who is a psychopathic liar make an issue of it . Has so many things he is carrying on his back. France,r of paris, the mayor of london, the donald d and to pay no heed to him. Donald trump, if you keep to it up it will reverberate against him. Host donald trump wringing it up yesterday at a rally. We will get to some of his statements. , the spokesperson for the Hillary Clinton campaign , how they have described this report. They picked up on some of the themes you talked about in light of other secretaries of state. The report shows problems with the state departments electronic recordkeeping systems were longstanding, and there was no precedent of someone in her position having a state Department Email account until after the arrival of her successor. This report shows that her use of personal email was not unique and she took more steps to release her records. That is part of ryan phelans statement. You are hearing about the actions of other secretaries of state. Also picked up by nancy. She had her weekly meeting at the capital. She was asked about this Inspector General report. [video clip] insecretary clinton did act good conscience. I saw a statement, what you are the reformd what committee has said. The what secretary consistent with what other secretaries of state have done, including colin powell. Longstanding systemic weaknesses that go beyond the tenure of any secretary of state. She has released her emails. The others have not. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi yesterday. Their reaction continuing throughout the day to the Inspector Generals report. Our phone lines are open. Arthur in glen bernie, maryland. And independent. Good morning. Caller good morning, cspan. Broke lastssue first year sometime, i had the honor of being able to get through to cspan that morning after she came out before the media and said she had done nothing wrong, that it was a matter of convenience that she was running her own private server. She said of her own private server to maintain the data. To the detriment of the people in the country. It is incredible. The adjective i used to describe superiority. Host you wouldnt change those adjectives . Caller absolutely not. It is clear as a bell. Ask this individual, a straight typical question like what is your neighbor it color . She answered plaid. She is the slickest of all of the professional lawyers turned politician that would do anything for power that happens to be married to the former slickest of the slick lawyers turned professional career politicians who would do and say anything or power. As far as politics and the president ial race, she will be a 2time loser. Host a republican. Good morning. Your thoughts on the Inspector General report yesterday. Caller good morning, cspan. I cannot imagine why this news would not make the headlines of all of the major Mainstream Media outlets in the United States. That yesterday i got in the mail and i hope you would have some of this organizations people on your panel for discussion in the next few days from Judicial Watch requesting that Judicial Watch issued many years ago, the roler years, about of secretary of state lintons aide working on other projects. Judge sullivan closed the fouryear request and Judicial Watch did not proceed. Ofh the latest scandal finding out from other News Agencies that wrote the story about these emails on a private reopenedudge sullivan the fouryear request. It goes to prove, as others have pointed out, hillary and bill are two peas in a pod. Server for email which other secretaries of state departments were told to shut their mouth and never question about why other staffers could not get emails, goes to show she was using that for, i believe,raising Clinton Foundation cash and special favors with foreign governments. A woman who had the nerve to tell the people on the tarmac at the airport that we are going to get this guy who created this reason others were killed at benghazi had no nerve. She has one goal, to get elected president. It is not about helping the American People. Host you mentioned Judicial Watch. On may 14, the president of Judicial Watch joined us on the washington journal. That comet to watch you can watch all of our segments on our website, cspan. Org you mentioned the incident. Trey gowdy put out a statement yesterday. Trey gowdy, the republican of south carolina, saying that if anyone wonders why the investigation is not yet complete, the benghazi investigation, the problems in this report are exhibit a and city has faced delays from day one at the hands of Public Officials who sought to avoid transparency and accountability. Among those who talked about the report were donald trump. He had a rally in anaheim, caliph anya. Anaheim, california. [video clip] said, the geniuses back there, that hillary, as i hillary. Ed she is as crooked as they come, she had that news today from some reports came down, werent so good. Not so good. Inspector generals report, not good. I want to run against hillary. I just want to run against her. I dont know if he will be able to. It could be we will run against crazy bernie. It could be crazy bernie. He is a crazy man, but thats ok. We like crazy people. Host donald trump at his rally in california. Michael in atlanta, georgia, a democrat. Go ahead. Caller good morning. A couple of things that i heard about the Inspector Generals report. They were critical of the state departments policy so in regard to emails. She,also said that although she broke policy she did not break the law. I think part of the problem is is if you went through with the clintons went through, that led to her trying to have her own email server. She was trying to protect herself from this crap. Host i will redo directly from that report that was leaked yesterday, posted on several news sites. This is one of the key passages talking about Hillary Clinton. As previously discussed sending emails from personal account to employees at their personal account is not an appropriate method of preserving those emails to constitute as a federal record. Therefore Hillary Clinton should have recorded any record by printing and filing those records with the related files in the office of the secretary. Adding minimum Hillary Clinton should have surrendered all emails having to do with business before leaving. Because she did not do so she did not comply with policies implemented in accordance with the records act. We can go through other parts of the report as well as we talk about it for the next 20minutes or so. In verona, wisconsin. Good morning. Caller good morning. One of the things that people try to portray is that colin powell did the same thing. Colin powell did not have his own private server. That is a huge difference. In regards to him doing that, because he did that the state department set up stronger rules. They did not want the same thing to happen again. With those stronger rules, Hillary Clinton knew about the stronger rules and still broke the rules. It, she says she gave back all of her state Department Emails. She is the one who decided what emails she gave back. She said, i gave back 30,000 emails. 30,000 were deleted by people who did not have clearance, security clearance. , her i. T. Guy, did not have security clearance to set up the server. In so many ways, she flouted the rules. Is what is so disturbing about all of this. Host to your point about the Inspector Generals report, comparisons have been made to other secretaries of state. The Inspector General saying in his report there were more stringent rules in place by the time Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Clintons tenure the guidance was more detailed and sophisticated. Beginning in 2005 through 2011 the department issued memoranda discussing the obligation to use Department Systems in most circumstances, and identifying the risks of not doing so. Clintons Cyber Security practices must be evaluated in light of those more comprehensive directives. If you tweets from viewers. Hillary clinton broke rules, but broke no laws. There is a difference. Who in d. C. Hasnt broken rules . You need to make it clear that no other secretary of state had a private server. She never released all of her emails. Some were deleted. This shows Hillary Clinton to be reckless and not very bright in making decisions that affect the security of the United States of america. We are asking you to call in for the next 20 minutes. Eugene, houston, texas, a democrat. Good morning. Aller good morning i would like to comment on the reports of other secretaries of theirand how they used emails. These people used webbased emails. None of them had a private server. I am a webmaster. Have servers. There is reason i control my servers. Sometimes i do things that cannot be seen. Some things i need to remove off of the server, wiped the server clean. There is a reason ever used the server. It has been touched on a few callers. It has to do with the Clinton Foundation. The previous caller says hillary had to do this because she has had so much scrutiny. Hillary is a victim of hillary, not some rightwing conspiracy. Host you say this makes it easier to hide things. This is the reason someone would use this kind of set up . Caller without a doubt. I have servers that are colocated. Me as muchot protect as eight home server. A server in my closet allows me to take out the hard drive and vanish it. If you follow what has been going on, this is what hillary has been doing. She knows what she is doing, everyone knows this. She is trying to hide what is going on. She is a politician, this is what they do. Host who did you vote for in the primary in texas . Caller ted cruz. Host Bernie Sanders said he was sick of hearing about Hillary Clintons emails. More abouty talked hillarys emails, this set up, and why caller yes. For a long time i felt like the has done its
