(17,862 posts)by going with a single email for personal and State department business. Even though the precedent existed for some mixing, she basically did not use her official State department unclassified email. I still cannot understand why she would do this. Understanding the complexities with obligated retention of government material and the fact that, while the system was not classified, it did deal with sensitive information. Ownership of that security legitimately resided with the State department and not her.
Emails that were under subpoena where also destroyed. See above for why that was a problem. That is a huge no no and a red flag. Who gave the order? Apparently they were already supposed to have been destroyed prior to the subpoena.
If they are going to try to throw her in jail for having classified content on an unclassified system (whether it is the State department system or her own server), then everyone who stripped the classified information from classified documents should also be prosecuted going back as far as the statute of limitations through all past and even the current administration.
