It seems to me that the Department of State is an organization in which communications is even more critical than it is in most forms of human endeavor, a matter of war and peace, life and death.
At no point have I heard of any effort by SoS Clinton to improve the allegedly atrocious DoS official email system despite the fact it is so bad she could not depend on it for her own official communications. Indeed, rather than moving to at least bring attention to the problem Secretary Clinton worked around it for the benefit of herself and her closest aides and let the rest of the crucial global endeavor known as the US Department of State just deal with a system that by all reports makes AOL look like cutting edge technology.
Putting aside any questions of propriety or legality Hillary's behavior in this matter strikes me as poor leadership, when the leader makes sure their own needs and those of the inner circle are met but the needs of their troops go unfulfilled and indeed unrecognized that breaks every rule of being a good leader I've ever heard.
