Jeb Bush’s email troubles grow more serious

It’s equally baffling that Bush had no idea
how vulnerable he was on the issue he’s chosen to complain about.
Jeb Bush used his private e-mail account as Florida governor to discuss security and military issues such as troop deployments to the Middle East and the protection of nuclear plants, according to a review of publicly released records.
The e-mails include two series of exchanges involving details of Florida National Guard troop deployments after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the review by The Washington Post found.
The
Washington Post’s report on the security risks surrounding Jeb Bush conducting official business on his private account coincided with a
New York Times article, which noted that it took the former governor more than seven years “to comply fully with a Florida public records statute” on email disclosure.
The report quoted a non-partisan expert with the Florida-based First Amendment Foundation who said Bush’s disclosure policy was “a technical violation of the law.” The governor was required to turn over records pertaining to official business “at the expiration of his or her term of office,” and the Republican waited more than seven years to meet these obligations.
And funny that Jeb criticizes her for what he's guilty of himself.
In my book, she likely hasn't done anything wrong with the security issues of her email. In my book, the bigger question for me as a progressive, is her in effect secretly providing endorsement for the "privatizing" of government email which provides transparency in the right capacity for the rest of us if the IT infrastructure is being properly run and managed and moving to a Republican style "privatized" email solution. If she had at the time come out to us and stated that there are problems with our current IT set up that doesn't let her do her job with her emails appropriately and asked for it to be fixed while she moved her email to a private server to avoid these problems, she'd in my book have a GREAT qualification as a leader wanting to FIX problems like that and wanting to move our government towards Democratic principles and not Republican ones of privatizing government if not destroying it when politicians look to walk away from government infrastructure instead of getting it working properly.
For me this email "scandal" is more a question of Hillary's judgement, and not whether she did anything "illegal".
