Politico: Hilary's Aides Actively Pushed to Put Top Secret Documents on Their Personal PDAs
Before getting to that, let me note how Huffington Post Politics headlined all the disclosures about Hillary's emails yesterday:
Hillary Clinton's emails illustrate the difficulties of achieving work-life balance http://t.co/jP3mzP0bip pic.twitter.com/ehsgPLSxIT
— HuffPost Politics (@HuffPostPol) September 1, 2015Hillary Clinton's aides appear to have pushed for handheld devices capable of handling classified material soon after Clinton was sworn in as secretary of state -- a request that was discussed by senior security personnel at the agency, according to newly-disclosed emails. Some of those top-level security officials also appeared to have concerns about requests from Clinton's aides that they be permitted to view "SECRET" and "TOP SECRET" material on personal electronic devices, the heavily-redacted emails indicate.This was probably done out of convenience, to help Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin maintain a proper work-life balance. After all, you can't just go running off to a SCIF every time you want to view Sensitive Compartmented Information. Other people can do that, but they don't have the problems with work-life balance that Hillary and her aides apparently do.
... [T]he messages show that a request for portable devices that could handle classified information seemed to cause some consternation among the security personnel. "On the off chance that S [the secretary's] staff continues to push for S or TS-capable PDAs..." Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security Eric Boswell wrote to State's Senior Coordinator for Security Infrastructure Donald Reid on February 2, 2009, copying in Assistant Director of Diplomatic Security for Domestic Operations Patrick Donovan. The rest of that sentence was deleted by the State Department's Freedom of Information Act personnel under an exemption for internal deliberations, but in the same message Boswell asked for "a briefing on what we know."State, however, refuses to answer about their exact level of knowledge that this was going on, or if anyone approved it, or... well, anything, really. They won't say, for example, if this demand was explicitly refused, or granted, or simply ignored (and therefore winked at). And: What did Obama know? Seems like one of his Secretaries demanding the right to violate top secret information-handling protocols would be the sort of thing you'd call him in from the golf course to apprise him of. Work-Life Balance More important than national security considerations. Also, you need to make time for Fundraising and Foreign-Government Bribe-Solicitation.

Clearly this doesn't include the current Boy King, who obviously doesn't give half a damn about national security considerations. Having entered the YOLO phase of his presidency, he's all about going around once in life and grabbing all the gusto he can, like loading up on gelato and pastries in the face of a glacier, and renaming stuff.
The SCOAMF's idea of a "work/life balance" is skipping the work part and enjoying life. Damn him.

I suppose being able to read one's sensitive emails while sitting on the toilet during that 'sensitive' time of the month might improve work-life balance.
I mean think about it- Shrillery could have carried ONE device to share all those tv schedule emails on and still send out copies of NORK satellite photos...

Im still pushing the idea that Ambassador Stephens and a security team is DEAD because of loose classified shit over at the State Department.
Actors in the area found out what the administration was up to in Benghazi and coordinated an attack on the consulate to deter the transfer of weapons.
This is why Hillary jumped so hard on the "antimuslim video" meme. She was NOT trying to avoid an embarrassment for the administration.
She was trying to avoid culpability for lax security that lead to the deaths at Benghazi.

But Hillary's emails contradict this: she has people doing the shopping for her, cooking etc., even looking up TV show times.
Ironic that the excuse as to why she has had the email problem is directly contradicted by the emails themselves.

Newsflash, girls: people at the top of a profession do not have work-life balance, or they wouldn't be at the top. They work, and fit their lives in here and there as time permits. To compete and succeed at that level you have to be single-minded, driven, and so utterly focused as to be obsessive even. In short, exhibit typically male behavior to the extent of being borderline Aspberger's.
If that's a problem, and I can understand that it is, accept that you won't be at the top of your profession, whether it be politics, academia, athletics, law, medicine, acting, music, writing, what have you.
Simple, really.

I'll bet she had no qualms whatsoever about leaving the kid with the sitter or nanny or at daycare as much as she could.
Lord, I can't even imagine her cuddling her granddaughter - only holding the baby for photo ops and then scornfully handing the kid over to a SS agent. " Go change her diaper, the smell is disgusting."

*clambers up on soapbox*
I am so beyond sick and tired about hearing about work life balance skewing overwhelmingly towards oh those poor mothers who miss their kids and what should we do to help mothers and oh women are penalized for trying to have it all.
What. About. Fathers.
From my various observations of both fathers with whom I've worked, fathers I know personally and fathers I've seen in church and other places, fathers care just as much about their kids and miss out on far more events and feel just as guilty that they have to work so hard. Very little public attention is given to the fact that fathers have exactly the same problems as mothers and love their children just as much and feel just as awful.
It's part of the entire devaluation of fatherhood that sets my teeth on edge.
It really does drive me nuts when people (not you, ace) act like the work life problem is mainly a problem for mothers. It's not. It's just that fathers suck it up and don't whinge about it all the time.

Then post the video on the Web to show the world what goes on in these things.
If the presenter refuses, ask what he or she has to hide, if the session is beneficial and innocuous?

Yep. I once had an undergrad in my lab who asked me to review his grad school application, which ended with a recitation of his interests and hobbies.
"What the hell is this?" I asked.
"It's to show I'm well-rounded."
"Look at me and my faculty colleagues. Do we look well-rounded to you? We want driven, neurotic, work-obsessed, single-interest fanatics. In short, people just like us. You know what my hobby and interest is? Sleeping. Occasionally."

I say this as someone who once worked at a company where there was always a competition to see who was working the longest hours, which was usually the result of some management f$#@-up:
If you work 100 hours straight it's an indication that something is not right. Either:
A] You're terribly slow or incompetent and can't complete your job in a normal time frame
B] You are working for someone who is making unreasonable or erratic/constantly changing demands
C] You think more hours = you're a better worker and this is all for show

I just thought it worthwhile making explicit. Raising a family IS a sacrifice, and most definitely a respectable career/ work choice. In no way am I deprecating it; perpetuating the species with decent people is probably the most important job out there.
The annoying thing is that many feminists seem to think that if they can't have it all, that they've somehow been cheated, little realizing the sacrifices men have to make to get to the top.

" ...one State Department speech writer stayed up 100 hours straight writing a speech for Clinton"
No
f*ing way. A college freshmen genders study major could write one of
her speeches in 30 minutes. If that is actually true, things are worse
than I thought.
.
.
.
.If that is actually true that person was a functional zombie and not writing anything. We did extremely extended hours on multiple deployments and I can't recall a single time that people didn't physically crash and burn at the 3 day mark. Over 4 days is nearly physiologically impossible without extreme medical assistance.

Story time!
I was the only single person with no kids at the Old Firm. There were several people with school age kids. As a result, guess who got told oh hey you need to stay late to finish x y z because everyone else has family stuff and you have nothing to do. Needless to say, this peeved me and I would draw lines when people (by which I mean one woman in particular) abused it.
Then there came the time that I was to do a training session and I put in hours of time after 5 to get it ready and all I asked was that it be at 4:30 p.m. and go to 5:30 p.m. on a midday night. I made sure that people had a few weeks notice of this so they could make child care arrangements or whatever.
The day of the training session, the Big Boss pulled me aside and announced hey it's not happening because so and so and so and so were upset because it disrupted their evening plans.
I. Lost. My. Shit. I'm talking full out shaking with anger and ultimately humiliating myself by rage crying shit losing. However, in the middle of losing my shit, I went on this tirade about how I had no one to help me. No family. No significant other. No close friends since Boy BFF had moved away. It was me all alone and the only one to do my grocery shopping and pick up my dry cleaning and clean the apartment and take the car to the shop and run errands and go to the bank and all the errata of daily life was me. I had no help. Everyone else did. But somehow my not having a kid meant I didn't count.
Once I calmed down enough, he said you know what I never thought of that and, bless him, he laid down the law that I wasn't to be assumed to be able to stay late just because no kids.

This intensely focus grouped excuse, is her last vestige effort. She's not denying anymore she's looking to garner sympathy from her core voters - professional women. This is designed -and by designed I mean they consulted psychiatrists to tailor this message - to sway professional women back to Hitlery.
There is a substantial risk of backfire here. Its as if Bill Clinton were saying the only reason he had sex with the intern was because his wife is so cold. Hillary has out cynical 'ed Bill himself.

You work for a living, not a balance. Unless you're in the circus and your work is a balancing act.
Most people separate their work from their home life. HRC had that option with a state provided secure server and rejected it for a private server to keep the record of her decision making/process secret from oversight.

Went through the hallucinatory phase of sleep deprivation while attending XVIII Airborne Corps Recondo School when I was young. My hallucinations were auditory: I kept hearing whispers that I couldn't make out--horror movie freaky. Other guys were seeing shit that wasn't there, like soda machines in the woods, so I felt pretty lucky, all things considered.

That's right. Alek Skarlatos, the U.S. Army specialist who recently received France's highest award, the Legion of Honor, will be taking part in the reality TV show alongside a slew of entertainers.

Nah.
Not pleasant, but I think most people can (and have) at one point completely missed a nights sleep. You can function surprisingly well this way too, especially if you do it a lot and become accustomed to doing so. IE, this is pretty much the NORM for surgical residents and such. .
Its also possible to go several days in a row or even a full week with only LIMITED sleep (ie only 4 hours) and still function mostly OK. Short "cat naps" of a few hours at a time interspersed through the day can also be OK.
But staying awake with ZERO sleep for 4-5 days? Can't be done without drugs. Again, normal people trying it will either just pass out from exhaustion or start to hallucinate (or both).

Stayed up 75 hours during a Reforger exercise when in Germany with the Cav. Don't recommend it.Hallucinations. Took all the mental strength I had to control my emotions. Kept wanting to cry and scream intermittently. And you don't dare close your eyes for more than a second or two, or else you'll fall into a deep sleep.
Pretty fucked up.

What really pisses me off is when a co-worker goes on maternity leave, and then on her first day back resigns. Like, we could have used all that time to search for your replacement instead of redistributing work so that you would have a job when you returned.

Been there (hallucinations, not airborne school). IIRC, I think it was only about 2 days of sleep deprivation to get there.
I just started to see things. . .it was so long ago I don't remember exactly what, but it was like dreaming while awake.
One time I was doing some extended travel to the middle east, and I stayed awake for over two days. Didn't hallucinate, but I was pretty tired when I got to my destination. Got in, took a nap.
Woke up, felt great. People I was with asked me if I was Ok. I said, yeah, no problem, why? Apparently I had slept continously for 16 hours!

I've done it. 5 days w/o passing out or drugs or hallucinating. I was in a dangerous place where I couldn't find a safe spot to sleep in. I still often go 2 days without sleeping.

One of the really sucky parts about being in the military is being up all night on duty, anticipating joyous sleep at the end of your duty, and just before you're scheduled to be relieved at 0600, the First Sergeant walks in and announces a company Health and Welfare Inspection. Which means the whole company (and you) goes and sits in the dayroom for about 3 hours while they pull you out 1 or 2 at a time to search your barracks room for contraband.

Anybody ever have the luxury of going through REFTRA at GITMO?
Possibly as a member of the ships Engineering Department?
It's amazing what one can do on several weeks of limited cat naps.
Ain't pleasant.

24 hours without sleep will make you hallucinate.
You can go a long time sleep deprived,anhour or two here or there. Its prettyawful however, and you are not really functional.
Never fully appreciated whatmy parents did for meuntil I went throughyears of not sleeping but a couple ofhours a nightdueto children with significanthealth problems.Some truth in thereabout sacrifice and true love, butits beyond me to explain it, you have to live it to fully get it.
