I am off the Hillary bandwagon

41. This is then a copout for those with legislative responsibilities to take this attitude...

If the Democratic Party is all about making government work for people and have it be viable to do its job instead of tearing it down which is a REPUBLICAN notion, those Democrats in government with legislative roles are ceding power to the Republicans when they use private email instead of making it public that IT infrastructure should be fixed so that it does its job, so that there is no excuse for government personnel to not use publicly owned, controlled, and accountable systems to do their work on to be responsible and accountable government servants.

If we just say that there's no way to fix government systems to do the right thing and make it so that employees don't "have to use private email" to do their jobs, then we're taking the DINO and Republican approach to government of privatizing everything so that we can't provide proper scrutiny to those who are abusing and corrupting it.

Hillary Clinton was in the Senate with responsibilities to ensure legislatively that IT can function properly in its role to provide publicly accountable means for government employees to communicate with each other and the outside world. As a member of Obama's cabinet, rather than just use her own email surreptitiously instead of government provided infrastructure, she should have made it a documented concern in cabinet discussions with the Obama administration that government run IT infrastructure should be fixed to address any problems that might exist that she might have used as a rationale for using a private email solution.

If we allow this to continue, we're just enabling further corruption of our system, rather than fixing government to work properly and provide more incentive for decent politicians to be the ones that want to do their work properly to succeed and survive instead in their positions, and keep corrupt politicians from being able to carry out their agendas.

Just claiming that "she didn't do anything illegal" is like us saying that the NSA didn't do anything illegal based upon corrupt laws passed since the FISA court, etc. was set up to reform the system after a corrupt Nixon administration abused it to the point of failure as well. It's a copout and I would rather have a politician that wants to fix these problems instead of work around them in the way a corrupt Republican might want, even if she didn't have any corrupt intent in what she was doing.
