He was not a duck either. What's your point?

^Not sure I understand your point. American diplomats serve abroad, not in the US (with the exception of the UN in NYC).

Hillary is not a US diplomat.

Nor was Rove.

The USG has regulations governing use of USG information.

Whether either of the above are/were diplomats really doesn't factor into it.

When HRC was Sec of State she was a diplomat.

I watched the interview of the specific laws.

And she came under heavy rocket attack one time when flying into Kosovo too.

Heh...which later turned out to be another lie.

See the above posts, which are quite clear. I don't care what interview you watched on TV...you're wrong. She was not a diplomat, she was SecState.

DN,

Thanks for this.

I stand to be corrected. (I admit when I'm wrong because I want to learn and work with the correct terms.

I thought the Sec of State was considered a diplomat, but this is not the case, although diplomatic regs are under the Secretary of State Department.

This stated and again, I am now corrected - the laws for emails and transparency DO and DID apply to HRC when she was Secretary of State.
