Related: About this forumClinton: Experience vs Competency
In 4 years, Clinton did not stop and think that using an UNSECURED server was a bad idea.
"I was not thinking a lot when I got in . There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world. I didn't really stop and think what kind of email system will there be."

Brokaw said, "When she said, I didnt think about the effect of e-mail, I was stunned, I mean, we were deep into the digital age at that point. shes secretary of state.
.... You can have something off to the left like Colin Powell always said he did. But at this point to suggest that as secretary of state, as much as she'd been around, she didnt think about the impact of the possibility of hacking just astonishes me. And I think it takes away from her big argument, Ive been there, I've done that, I know what Im doing.'

(10,494 posts)The government would have set her up with whatever she needed. I believe she tried to get around Freedom of Information requests (FOIA) and have a back door email system where she could communicate her real messages!
Did the FBI get everything, or did her wiping her server "...with a cloth" hide the real incriminating shite? HILLARY CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!

(16,858 posts)But she thought enough to create the private server. Personally, I think it was created out of deep insecrurity and an attempt to buffer herself from attacks. While it may have been legal, it reeks of nefarious intent, and that is how the average voter will see it. At every turn, for more than two decades, the Clintons have skirted the lines of legality on many fronts. As a life long Dem, I'm exhausted from making excuses for this couples' behavior. At the end of the day, not every attack or criticism is a right wing conspiracy. It's far past time for the Clintons to actually take personal responsibility for their actions, and the server issue was a self inflicted wound which will have far reaching impacts on this current election cycle. Dems brush this off at their own peril.
