When Wikileaks/Manning dumped State Department records, they didn't dump Hillary's,

except for those saved on the other end.

Because hers was on a non-governmental server Manning had no access to. That must have been frustrating for them.

However, Al Jazeera (not exactly an impartial media outlet when it comes to U.S. foreign policy) contends that State Department email systems were insecure as well. They quote a former presidential innovation fellow, Clay Johnson, as saying that State Department official email was compromised as part of the WikiLeaks/Chelsea Manning debacle. Therefore, he contends, she might have been advised to use her personal email.

There is some limited plausibility to that claim, at least in that no clintonemail.com messages were included in the Manning dump, unlike thousands of emails from State Department servers.

to Wikileaks, I wondered if it was more than a coincidence re Clinton's use of a personal email account. It would be interesting to know when the use of her personal email account began and if it coincides with the Chelsea Manning leaks.
