(59,503 posts)If the REAL reason was just not having phones - not a huge inconvenience in reality, why didn't she regularly have aides sort the email and give it electronically to the State Department to archive? At minimum why wasn't this done within months after she left the State Department?
I don't think she did anything nefarious - I do think she has a near paranoid desire to keep things private. The problem is that for the entire duration of her term and the last two years, every inquiry made on the State Department that should have covered her email - didn't. (This is especially true if it turns out that some top aides - Mills, Abedin and others - were also on the server. It means that ANY emails between them, that did not include others, were not there.
None of this proves - or even suggests - the Clinton did anything wrong as SoS (other than knowingly not fully comply to inquiries AND leaving a situation where after she left, the SD could not fully comply until getting those emails - AKA stonewalling), but it is a gift to the Republicans who want to make it seem like untoward things happened.
