The President of the United States characterized his Secretary of State’s deliberate decision to keep all of her official government business on an unauthorized, unsecured, non-governmental home-brew email server that left top secret information vulnerable to hostile foreign nations as “an honest mistake.”

In an interview with NowThisNews that Allahpundit focused on Wednesday, Obama showed that he is clearly more interested in securing his legacy by keeping Donald Trump out of the White House than he was about the protocols of our basic federal document procedures or the security of state secrets under our nation’s espionage laws:
