2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: So, Hillary had a server at her house [View all]Maedhros

is an actual, serious issue.
If a bank were to allow an employee to store confidential customer information in the same manner, it would be subject to audit findings from the OCC that involve severe penalties and fines - and that's just because of the threat of identity theft. State Department communications are orders of magnitude more sensitive and their compromise can lead directly to people dying.
I understand that you desperately want this to be a non-issue, but there is a vast chasm between what you want and what is.

Remember, this was back when Sarah Palin and other politicians used private emails to skirt FOIA.
