Hillary Clinton skipped a special 2011 briefing on cybersecurity that members of her staff at the State Department organized specifically for her, according to information revealed Friday.
Julia Frifield, a staffer at the department, divulged the information to Congress last month. A March 3 letter from the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, addressed to Secretary of State John Kerry, described the revelation.
"On February 18, 2016, Ms. Julia Frifield, the Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, sent us that classified PowerPoint presentation used in the cybersecurity briefing, along with an unclassified cover letter," states the letter authored by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
"The unclassified cover letter noted that 'although the PowerPoint indicated the briefing was for former Secretary Clinton, we understand from the testimony of the briefers, that she was not in attendance,'" Grassley adds.

So that makes her illegal email server okay, right?
SOP for Hillary. She had an appointment for a $600 haircut at the time.
It leads to "plausible deniability" regarding protocol and email security. If she never received the briefing then how was she supposed to know?
Just my two-cents.
11:14 - intentionally missing the briefing should have led to lack of access - or temporary closure of the account.
I say should - because whoever locked her account would end up dead!
