There's already been direct testimony as to that topic... Aside from the Russians (and many others) having copies of everything on Clinton's e-mail server, the INTENTIONAL act of using a private server to avoid FOIA requests then withholding required e-mails when she left office (again, to avoid any FOIA requests) once again runs counter to the whole 'most transparent administration in history' meme that Obama had going.
I'm less concerned about non-password protected secret or above e-mail and MUCH more concerned by the intentional act of hiding government documents on a private machine because she wanted to avoid accountability to the people.
There is no question this was done, it was done intentionally and with malice of forethought. Oh, and just happens to be a crime.
Your position on Hillary possible reason (wanting to 'avoid accountability to the people') is charitable to say the least... Knowing the Clinton perchance for selling influence and anything else not nailed down - I would assume worse. "Oh thanks for your $500,000 (for a 42 minute speech) and here's my private email address so we can keep in touch" - swap yoga positions etc...
Still as you say, it's a crime - but as stated on that's not quite that easy to understand for the average citizen. And that IS the goal of liberal elites.
