If there is a failure of the Federal mail server she is "allowed" to use a private account for non-privileged state business AND immediately make a paper copy and submit it to the federal archive. Since she just turned over 55k emails it's clear even that rule wasn't followed. Don't play this game with me, I do this for a living. There is no possible way that a private server in your own home is within the laws narrow allowances.
She has a misdemeanor potentially in holding classified data on a private computer (what Petraeus is charged with) and a FELONY of hiding and/or destroying federal documents. That she did not turn these emails over on the previous 7 requests from Congress is pretty clearly hiding federal documents, and if it is determined that she has deleted any emails from that server then she also destroyed federal documents.
Could she just be monumentally stupid and not entirely crooked? Maybe. But then that is why YOU USE FEDERAL FREAKING SERVERS instead of a bullsh** homebrew mail server in your f-ing basement.
It's an either or, situation isn't it?
Either she broke the law deliberately or she is the dumbest attorney/public servant in existence.
What I love is how the Grubers deal with it, paralleling every scandal. First they say there is "nothing there". When that fails they claim "old news", and when the news doesn't get old, they claim "XXXX did it too" as if that changes anything. Then when that fails, they begin mitigating about exceptions and 'what ifs" etc.
When that fails they go back to "old news"
You never see anyone ever admit anything wrong was done...
