to use the .gov email system than to hire a former campaign staffer to set up and manage your server on your own payroll (in addition, she got Pagliano a position at State--which hat was he wearing at any given time?). What's easier, two devices or carrying around your own fucking IT guy? Intent--well, if she set up her own server and didn't manage it in a way that only completely unclassified or personal correspondence was on it when the emails were turned over, and she's still insisting that the stuff on there is "innocuous" and should be released--then she intends for this material to be on the server. Of course, in no way will it be released, because it's classified and no one else wants to get into trouble.

I think that excuse has worn thin. The information was classified, even if it wasn't

I think you are entirely unaware of this whole issue. You need to educate yourself on the facts.
