Thanks for the insight Lordp....
FYI for everyone else i
I’m going with a zot.
I was a GS employee for a DoD agency for 3.5 years. If I ever left for two weeks of leave....I can tell you that when I returned...there were typically 300 emails waiting for me. I’d waste two hours deleting the bulk of these of no significance, and spend two hours on thirty that required a response out of me.
In this case for Hillary, if she didn’t provide this address to all of the ambassadors and various top-heads of the State Department, plus the White House staff (forty folks minimum)....then HOW would they correspond and direct serious issues to her?
This is the big question. It’s like she just existed in her own world and kept to email chain to five or six people at best.
I also don’t think she ever sent emails herself...she simply drafted them...saved them in some server, and someone came up hours later to review....correct...and actually hit the ‘send’ button. This would beg dozens of questions about who this reviewer was, and if they were even a paid-gov’t employee (which I doubt).
In a way, you might be making a good case for the way Hillary handled her e-mail. Certainly your boss had a gov’t e-mail address that was readily accessible so he/she was swamped with all of those e-mails that required employees to go through it all and sort it out. She can argue that she was avoiding this very situation.
My distrust of the Clintons is so acute, I don’t know if I buy this e-mail scandal. It’s too easy, and too much of a “rookie mistake.” I worry that there is either something else going on that they are hiding with this smoke, or they are sandbagging and they are planting nasty information about Republican rivals in the e-mail traffic that will now be exposed. What if demands to see her e-mail expose embarassing correspondence with Netanyahu, or info about Putin that they want revealed, or maybe damaging civilian casualty numbers from Iraq/Afghanistan- just about anything. The Clintons have a liftime of shady dealings and I think they are pretty good at it. Too good to be caught up in something so obviously stupid.
Yes, you are right. Hillary is utterly unbelievable.
I agree with you. My husband is in charge of education and training on our base and deals with 75 - 100 emails per day. Sec of State less than 40? BS
It is unbelievable. I was in middle management for Chesapeake Energy years ago.... and I averaged around 250 emails every day. 365.

That’s interesting. Hilldog became SOS in 2009. That is when clintonemail.com was registered. January 13th, 2009.
I don’t think the e-mail server was at the house. The IP with the domain is in Texas (Confluence Networks Inc). The server has changed addresses three times over the past six years. (that happens but, not often). The company that runs it is in Florida (PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC). All she needs is a cloud based router in the house (AT&T MPLS?). What I am getting at is if the server is not in the house, who is managing it and what is their backup routine?

More importantly, I think, are Huma’s emails. I’m betting Hillary was a big delegator.
Here is a question I have not yet seen asked. Where are the state department staff emails now?
There must be staff emails to hillary regarding various issues re meetings,travel,follow ups,etc which should be on SD servers along with copies of her replies..another trail to follow in retracing her actions etc.
Normal email as we know it is based on a universally adopted standard mail transfer protocol (SMTP), a routing standard adopted early on as a way to essentially nit all the various proprietary email systems together so the users across such desperately located email systems could communicate with others. Think of the SMTP system that enables normal email as many thousands of mail stops (servers connected to the Internet) where to varying degrees email messages must route or hop through to get from senders to intended recipients. Such servers will typically momentarily store (copy) such messages and then forward them on down the line to the next available server along the route to the address of the email server used by intended recipients. It all happens over a matter of seconds. It is not uncommon for an email to have to hop through multiple such servers before reaching their destination. Most such servers are privately owned and are therefore hardly as secure as they need to be. similar. This standard routing protocol worked wonderful for years and now, like most any other standard, once universally accepted, is almost impossible to change. While all sorts of encryption and secure email approaches have been developed and introduced, none have achieved mass appeal and the old SMTP standard remains unchanged. If one looks at the header of any normal email it identifies the servers that email hopped through to get to you...which essentially provides a road map as to which servers any sufficiently talented nefarious hacker might want to hack into in order to capture emails to or from a target. Better yet, someone with even pretty low level computer skills could hide a proxy server somewhere where the Internet connection leaves a location and capture all email going in or out...and unless a target (especially a typical or unsophisticated user such as Hilary) actually periodically takes the time to check, they will never know their pants are down.
She deleted the rest.
