Clinton says she relied on State aides for classification decisions

22. Huh. I didn't know that. I still don't think I know that.

The .gov 'system' isn't, like, a single server farm all running together. It's a domain that's used by a vast number of agencies and institutions. There are numerous email servers operating within that framework.

Now, I don't know how you know so much about the intrigues between 'Intelligence' (which agency or agencies, exactly, do you mean?) and the Department of State, but I do know a fair amount about email servers. And data security (well, I'm not an expert but a practitioner.)

I agree that when a government official responsible for investigating possible crimes declines to recommend prosecution, the official should not, when making this decision public, also make prejudicial statements to the effect that the crime or crimes under investigation may have been committed. Certainly not the Director of the FBI.

But all that intrigue you seem to represent yourself as knowing a lot about is not a basis for what Hillary Clinton did. She's still not said why she did it - was it because of a poorly functioning or inadequate State Department email system? She's never said that. If that was the case, it would mean that she, as Secretary, had recognized problems, and therefore should have acted on them. That didn't happen. Or was it because she believed that the standards for classification of documents and information in one agency shouldn't have been the standards for the agency she headed? Again, she never said that. All of the arguments like those are after-the-fact examinations of circumstances which were never cited by Clinton as a basis for her decision to run all her official email out of a single private server (and I'm quite certain that 'clintonemail.com' was successfully targeted by foreign intelligence agents - it would have been easy pickings.)
