And all for a political angle/payback agenda.

That is infinitely worse - i.e., more risky - than maintaining a private email server, and the point is that if any republican was NOT outraged by the Plame incident, then they have zero credibility for any opinion on HRC's emails based on National Security concerns. They don't really care about security - they want to pile on Hillary. I think it's a BETTER analogy/talking point than the Bondi-gate scandal.
