Here’s what the report says: “(We) found no evidence that staff in the Office of the Legal Adviser reviewed or approved secretary Clinton’s personal system.” When stories surfaced that she’d set up a home system with the email address Clinton said she was allowed to do so by the State Department. Clinton has withheld thousands of additional emails, saying they were personal. The State Department has released more than 52,000 pages of Clinton’s work-related emails, including some that have since been classified. Republicans said Wednesday the audit showed Clinton was in clear violation of the Federal Records Act and endangered national security. “Secretary Clinton’s cybersecurity practices accordingly must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives.” “By Secretary Clinton’s tenure, the department’s guidance was considerably more detailed and more sophisticated,” the report concluded.

I’ve made it clear that I’m more than ready to talk to anybody, anytime. But the failings of Clinton were singled out in the audit as being more serious than her predecessor.

The staff’s director responded that Clinton’s personal email system had been reviewed and approved by legal staff, “and that the matter was not to be discussed any further.” Twice in 2010, information management staff at the State Department raised concerns that Clinton’s email practices failed to meet federal records-keeping requirements. She never sought approval to conduct government business over private email, and never demonstrated the server or the Blackberry she used while in office “met minimum information security requirements.” The 78-page analysis, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, says Clinton ignored clear directives. A spokesman for Clinton, who served as the nation’s top diplomat from 2009 to 2013, declared the audit showed her email use was consistent with what others at the department have done.
