In reply to the discussion: Clinton: Trustworthy or not? [View all]0rganism
(24,112 posts)5. the email "scandal" is largely phony, hence not a solid criterion on which to rest such a judgment
she's not the first SoS to run a private email server - probably a mistake, but not a sign of intrinsic dishonesty.
nor was it illegal.
and with all the compromised security of the official government servers that's coming up lately, she might even be able to make the argument that her private email was more secure.
anyway, i recommend finding something else on which to base an evaluation of her trustworthiness.

maybe not, but in general, it's not just the email issue, but the trustworthiness issue
