to know that while she did nothing 'illegal' as of yet, she most certainly acted with intention to avoid government sanctioned and monitored systems. She did not simply use her Gmail account, she had a damned email server with her own fucking domain setup in her home!
That is unethical, inappropriate, and is replete with potential negative consequences from the very difficult questions that now must be asked. Who managed this server? Did they archive all emails? Were all of these emails turned over as they are legally required for archiving? Were emails deleted? Was this server ever hacked or in any other way compromised? Who else had access to the server and its administrator password?
Now let's discuss the political ramifications. Hilary Clinton unfortunately has a bit of history with 'expedient' lies. Two huge ones were being under fire in Bosnia(she wasn't & had to admit it) and that her daughter Chelsea was jogging near the Trade centers on 9/11 (she wasn't & had to admit it).
Now this? Do we believe her? Do we trust her? Yes, the Republicans will use this to fight her, and they should. It is a damned good political strategy and she sets herself up for this shit. And now Democrats are rallying to her defense in predictable "party before personality style".
Weiner was pilloried for his unethical yet not illegal behaviors. Edwards was disgraced because of inappropriate, unethical, and illegal actions. Has Hillary violated any laws? We don't fully know yet, and it may take months to find out. But she is unfortunately the front runner in the primary season that has not even started, and she already has a scandal brewing around what is assuredly unethical and highly inappropriate behaviors. This does not bode well for 2016, and I am surprised more here do not think that far ahead when looking at this situation objectively with the current facts.
