1. Way into the minutiae

Stories like these is just the media spinning out more content. The reality is if the server were actually compromised, it might not be detectable. Talking about attempts doesn't amount to much.

The only question in this story, one that has yet to be credibly answered, is why did a high ranking government official conduct all official business through a private server that shields those communications from FOIA requests and oversight?

The fact that current oversight activities are a political witch hunt does not change the fact that this is super shady and should not be tolerated in an country with "open" government.
