197. Question...

Mar 2015

"WHY did she choose to move mail to a private server and not have it be on public record why she did so?"

She did not move mail to a private server. She started a new account on a private server. She turned over her work mail for the "public record." Of course, her people decided what was work related.

"then why couldn't she just simply go on record and state that these problems existed"

Lots of potential reasons. The most likely one was that she knew what she was doing was legal and she didn't want the exposure of a .gov mail server. We saw that those were being spied on and we know republicans would want to dig through her mail. That's why I like what she did in this case. She basically protected herself from RW fishing expeditions and did so legally.

"WHY should she do this just because the Bushies did it? If they did it, in my book it would be a reason NOT to do it!"

I agree. It is unethical. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't have its advantages.
