"she can do it because she thinks she can get away with it - that she is above the law" She can do it because Powell and Rice did it, and cuz Jeb, Walker, and a host of others do it. Only really tiny minds want to read every e-mail a pol ever sent, and, strangely enuf, they only want to see Hillary's. " I do care that he looked the American public in the eye and lied to us. I was a fool to believe him " No, you're a fool to care about it. You're a bigger fool for wanting to read Hil's e-mails because her hubby cheated on her.

Maybe what she really thought was that the State Dept servers are not really safe and she knew some folks would be very interested in her personal emails and how they might be distorted, so she wanted to have a server of her own that could be protected. Unlike the State Dept servers-- Sources: State Dept. hack the 'worst ever' By Evan Perez and Shimon Prokupecz, CNN Updated 7:49 PM ET, Tue March 10, 2015 (CNN)Overlooked in the controversy over Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, is the fact that suspected Russian hackers have bedeviled State Department's email system for much of the past year and continue to pose problems for technicians trying to eradicate the intrusion. Federal law enforcement, intelligence and congressional officials briefed on the investigation say the hack of the State email system is the "worst ever" cyberattack intrusion against a federal agency. The attackers who breached State are also believed to be behind hacks on the White House's email system, and against several other federal agencies, the officials say. more at cnn.com And of course it isn't just the computers at State that have been hacked in recent years. The IRS, the Pentagon, the WH, SS--probably every computer that anyone would actually want to hack has been hacked. I don't think it is that difficult if someone has the resources to do it. Of course, neither she nor any other govt official can just say, "Geez, our govt computers are hacked all the time," because how would that make them look? And be it noted--it isn't just govt computers. Plenty of big corporate computer systems have been hacked over the past couple of years. The problem isn't that security isn't what it used to be. It is just the opposite--actually, security is what it used to be, the hackers have just caught up to the security, and it has become pretty easy to hack.
