Executive Order 13636

On February 12, 2013, (click here) President Obama signed Executive Order 13636, “Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.” The Executive Order is designed to increase the level of core capabilities for our critical infrastructure to manage cyber risk. It does this by focusing on three key areas: (1) information sharing, (2) privacy, and (3) the adoption of cybersecurity practices....

This is an example of the ongoing Executive Orders signed by President Obama in his administration. This is not the only Executive Order nor is it the first. If my memory serves me President Obama's first Executive Order regarding the Electronic White House was September 2009. This has been his project, if you will. 

It is difficult at this point to determine whether or not Hillary Clinton's emails on a private server is being scrutinized on an ongoing basis WITH a shifting baseline of the degree they are reviewed. Any Inspector General would be writing their response to a Congressional member based upon his current standards and work ethic. 

The letter from the Inspector General (who's name and political affiliation is not necessarywas dated January 2016. That is a long time ago considering Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State from 2008 thought 2012. The standards by which such electronic communication is handled and classified is very different today than when she was in office. 

The issue regarding the private server emails has to be put to bed. This is ridiculous. 

The letter dated January 2016 is completely irrelevant to email written between 2008 and 2012. The FBI is the only indicator otherwise and I already stated what I believe.

End of discussion. 

Hillary Clinton is a remarkable woman. She deserve to be in the nomination process for President. If she is nominated to run for President, she will be a great President.

This 'email thing' is nothing but sour grapes. The lady needs to move on.
