As Clinton was preparing in late 2012 to leave office, Abedin also was considering her post-government career options.
Her work at Teneo gave her a taste of the private sector even as she continued her duties at the State Department.
The company, founded in part by longtime Bill Clinton aide Doug Band, describes itself as an advisory firm that works with corporate CEOs and leverages deep global relationships on behalf of clients, which have included giants such as Coca-Cola, the FIFA soccer organization and Dow Chemical. Teneo executives, including Band and chief executive Declan Kelly, declined to comment.
Abedins dual roles have drawn scrutiny from Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), who has questioned whether she was in a position to do favors for a company with international interests.

Yes, she needed a private server to protect herself from government employees

It wasn't even a new server! It was an old deal used by Bill, less secure than ever.

The domain didn't exist until January 19th, 2009. It was not an "old deal". (nt)

Chelsea Manning did not hack the servers, she released information that he had access to.

I have a similar problem, and had to get in the habit of double-checking when talking about her. nt

You do realize that she sent classified info using SECURE measures, not her server.

A large number of emails she sent would have been classified simply because she was SoS.

Piece of cake to do an email server, you can set one up on a Mac with the server app.
