He said &quot;whoops, yep, I did it. Sorry. Let&#39;s move on.&quot; She did &quot;something else&quot; and dragged the process on.<br /><br />Every time, in my military and civilian career that I have said &quot;#%^&amp;$, my bad. Won&#39;t happen again.&quot; As long as there wasn&#39;t malice, or an attempt to cover it up, it&#39;s been a butt-chewing offence and quickly forgotten as long as I didn&#39;t repeat it. Lying about things causes &quot;exponentially greater&quot; problems. <br /><br />Had Ms. Clinton said &quot;Yah, I was using a private server.&quot; and then &quot;Oh hell. I didn&#39;t realize. Yah, I should have known better. No, that&#39;s WAYYYYYY below my paygrade of things I thing about. My bad&quot; this would have been over last year.

It seems like the President likes him and he is following the program. What he did is unlike Hillary who set up her own server. Its completely different. <br /><br />For those of us in Govt, its ill advised but not uncommon, to occasionally use private emails, private phones, for business. Smart phones have made it even harder to have proper OPSEC as everything is available by phone nowadays. Carrying around two (or more) cell phones is a pain in the neck. He probably just got lazy, like many government employees. <br /><br />Like many civilians, he doesn&#39;t understand the ramifications of OPSEC. He has never been in the military, nor has he studied it. He has a doctorate in Physics and was a college professor at several universities. Although, he has been working with DOD is some capacity since the 1990&#39;s, so I guess he should have known better.
