I am off the Hillary bandwagon

64. But we don't KNOW that the records are available when they are privately managed...

Many emails that she doesn't want the public to see could have been deleted by now on her own private server, which she wouldn't have been able to do had they been publicly owned and run servers.

That is what had our governor Kitzhaber forced to resign. It was when he requested that certain emails be purged in the face of an investigation of his fiancee's activities that probably left many Democrats who would otherwise have supported him no choice but to recommend that he step down. If Hillary had her mails all on public servers and had tried to delete them like Kitzhaber did, instead of having privately run servers, where we DON'T KNOW if she's already had some emails purged that she doesn't want seen that is the big difference. If she had publicly owned servers and her emails were shown to be not a problem, then there would be no issue. There likely wouldn't even be any effort to try and get them made public, if Republicans had no meat in anything they might have found out trying to spy on her.

Now if she's concerned that there will be some partisan spying on her email content by Republicans or those with agendas counter to hers, even if what she's doing is proper, then she and other Democrats should be working to prevent that sort of spying and abuse, instead of trying to work around the system to hide from it and in so doing also hide from accountability, that the right wing will use (and likely is using) against her later. I'm willing to wait and see, like I was with Kitzhaber, before he ordered that mails be destroyed, but with Hillary, at this point I'm disappointed that she preferred to work around the system in a way that can be deemed improper instead of getting it fixed so that it couldn't be abused, if that's her rationale for working around it.
