"Secretary Kerry is the first Secretary of State to rely primarily on a state.gov email account."

117. What evidence do you have to say this?

"But, as another post of mine downthread says, the important issue under the Act is not which computer or email account was used, but that records are preserved and archived. And she did not do that, either."

There are public reports that Google and McAffee both backed up Hillary's server to preserve it. The State Department has reported (even as long as a couple years ago) that they had copies and access to Hillary's email.

There have always been controls (stuff labeled secret, users cleared to see material, etc.) even before something becomes email.

Just because Hillary, (like LOTS of other government officials in recent years), kept email and other documents out of the hands of the public, GOP operatives in the government, etc. doesn't mean you have any reason to say there was no archive. In fact, what we have as evidence to date is that all emails are more available than any thing Bush, Rove, Governors like Jeb Bush, Rick Scott, and previous cabinet members did in exactly the same way.

The Act you refer to was likely the one amended and put into practice AFTER Hillary left office. Other than that, she appears to have complied with the law. She also has told the State Department that they are free to release the emails. Please note that it was a major problem in Florida when Jeb released all the emails. Peoples' personal information and all kinds of legal, but annoying stuff was included.

I personally look forward to reading about the cake that Hillary ordered for her daughters wedding.

In other words, I think we need to look at Hillary's use of an email server in context of 2009 and why she did what she did, not just to create another random attack because someone disagrees with Hillary as the best candidate. It was probably a smart move, and if Elizabeth Warren had done the same thing as a member of Obama's cabinet, would you be as outraged? In fact, do you know if Warren had/has a private email?
