(6,324 posts)First and foremost was to no comingle personal and private emails. Thats not the way any competent IT advisor or legal advisor would tell you to do things. She should have had at least 3 accounts- State, personal and business/political. They could have been all on the same server but that seperation should have happened.
Second is that if it really is that State systems were so unreliable and insecure that you needed your own system then it should be your first priority to fix that so you can get back on the proper system and so everyone else at State has secure systems too. Tell everyone this is just a band aid until the problem is fixed correctly. As head of the agency she could have fast-tracked a system at least for her and close advisors but it appears that wasnt tried, once they had something that worked they were comfortable with they let it rest that way.
Third is to make sure that all official emails are provided to the government as required by public records laws.
None of this happened. And I dont blame Hillary for any of that. She from all reports is not a tech savvy or technology friendly person, as it not uncommon for people her age. Nothing wrong with that. But she told people what she wanted and needed and those people she trusted to do it right did it almost textbook wrong from start to finish, and they set her up to have the whole mess explode like it did.
