The email was set up while Bush was still president, more than likely for plausible deniability, Obama could claim he had no idea what Hillary was doing.
It’s not the job of the SS to tell Hillary what email server to use. Their job is to make sure it is secure so no one can learn from hacking her email where she, or B Clinton for that matter, is going to be on a particular day and set up an ambush.
If the server was in fact in her house as is claimed, then you can pretty much guarantee the SS made sure it was secure.
I wonder if there was or is a second server.
It’s been reported the address of the server has been traced to a govt building in NYC IIRC, not her house.
I would think that a system set up for personal use in a basement does not have the same security that a State Department email server has. I'm sure that our government could still get into the system. And if our government can, then foreign governments may be able to hack into the system. An email server by definition is connected to the Internet and is vulnerable to hacks along the email route. Her email was discovered when the hacker hacked Sidney Blumenthal’s email, so it wasn't so secure after all. At least if she had been sending her email through the State Department, there would have been more checks along the way.
I hadn't seen that. If that's true, you can bet there are backups. This actually makes more sense, because you have to have an email admin. Either the government or some private company was the admin for this email server.
The congressional investigators need to find out how this system was actually set up and if there are backups. Hillary may be in for a big surprise.
