(19,537 posts)... and not have that publicly on the record that she's doing so instead of using government infrastructure, which would be preferred by most politicians who consider themselves Democrats.
Now, still the fundamental question you and others here are NOT answering is WHY did she choose to move mail to a private server and not have it be on public record why she did so? If there were problems she either was aware of herself or was made aware of by others (if you feel a director of IT is needed to make that recommendation) that had her wanting to do this, then why couldn't she just simply go on record and state that these problems existed, and that until the "months" that you say it should take to fix these problems were fixed, that she would choose to use a private email solution to avoid such problems. If she had legitimate reasons for using private email, why couldn't this have been done?
WHY should she do this just because the Bushies did it? If they did it, in my book it would be a reason NOT to do it!
I'm a techie and I fully know far more than many here how long some technical issues need to get fixed. And some issues aren't technical either so much as they are that of access (NSA, etc.). I could see perhaps some legitimate concerns she might have that would have her want to avoid using some broken IT infrastructure, but the answer again is to push to get that infrastructure fixed, and not to just surreptitiously do something stupid in effect hiding email and pretend that voters won't think feel that doing so raises a lot of unanswered questions.
