Anyone recall the level of media scrutiny for the millions of emails Bush-Cheney-Rove 'lost'?

67. I'm trying to avoid this being just about Hillary, but SHE helped make it that way...

... especially for Republicans that are trying to use it against her. I'm just as much against it when the Bush crowd did it, and they should have their asses hauled out for this if the right wants to pursue this and just try to go after Hillary.

WHY would she not use a government-based system for her email? THAT is the question that needs to be asked. Not questioning her ethics, which at this point we really don't know. But her doing what she did opens her up to such ethics questions from the right who wants to attack her on those. So, why did she decide to do this and open herself up to this criticism?

I think it is an important question for us to ask, given that she's being considered as being a candidate as our leader in the 2016 election. I want someone in charge that has the capacity to make good judgements, and to feel that that person's judgement is in all of our interests, and not just her own.

I also want to fix the system so that the right doesn't have further reasons to try and privatize yet more of our infrastructure. If she has good reasons for doing this, then let's hear them, and if her reasons document the need to fix our government infrastructure, then let's use that as a pretext to getting that done. Had she done that earlier without being pushed in to responding to someone else's inquiry, I think most people would hear her reasons and feel the need to address them, and would have seen it as a reason perhaps to vote for her, rather than against her. For me personally though, there are many other concerns I have over her track record that aren't related to this.
