She played by the rules. So did the Bushistas. Neither committed any crime. Well, not wrt email, anyway.
And, remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Yeah that may be true but the choice should never, ever, be up to a politician to decide. Do you removed the lost email from the bush admin? Did you blow that off? There is no reason why someone who controls their emails couldn't "lose" important emails that at be embarrassing or detrimental to them. Why even tempt someone with that power?
I doubt clinton did anything wrong but if you excuse her behavior then you are excusing future behavior and the next time it happens it may not be someone on "your" team.
lolIssa a long, hot Summer ahead of us.
It says she hosted it from her home. If that doesn't mean the server is in her home, then it doesn't mean anything, since a server can be administered from literally anywhere with a link.The physical location of the server is unknown. It could be in Iceland, part of an array in a data center for all we know.
Why do you hate women?So we may actually have a progressive candidate in 2016? Sweet.
Brian Schweitzer, get in there

The public is pretty much powerless when it comes to these decisions. Politicians decide which politicians will be prosecuted and the extent of their punishment. IMO it's unrealistic to expect politicians to drain their own swamp to paraphrase madame Pelosi.If the public held more politicians accountable for doing bad things regardless of legality and team (party), we'd have a much better set of leaders for sure.
That said; yes, she should have used a government e-mail for government business.
Hillary Clinton set up an email server in her own home?
If I knew that every e-mail I ever wrote was going to be scrutinized for wrongdoing by legions of Republicans rooting for me to fail, I would probably use a privately hosted mail server as well!
If you are afraid of your actions being scrutinized, then don't take a job where your actions are going to be under a microscope and where there are regulations requiring the documents to be retained. Simple. Saying "yes, I'll do the job, but I'll hide all the emails of the stuff I don't want anyone to know I was engaged in while in my official capacity" is not acceptable -- for anyone, including Hillary.

If Hillary was actually had enough IT savvy to set up and secure her own e-mail server, I'd vote for her in a second. It's about time we had a politician who understands the technology they are trying to regulate.
The real question is who set up the server for her, and did they follow the DOD security guidelines when they did so.
Breaking news story here and a potential presidential bid killer.
Once again the liberal media is silent on the subject!

I can't even remember a time when VIPs did not do exactly those things about which they bitterly complained.
Doesn't affect the legality or propriety, but that is a good point.Probably more secure then GOV system, wasn't in the Snowden release was it?
Our Constitution is being shredded. We know about the secret wiretaps, the secret military tribunals, the secret White House email accounts....Its a stunning record of secrecy and corruption, of cronyism run amok. It is everything our founders were afraid of, everything our Constitution was designed to prevent.
Hillary Clinton, 2007
The nice thing about the Clintons is that you never have to disagree with them.
All you have to do is wait for the political situation to change.
And you'll discover that they are on both sides...
