Smokescreen...building the meme that the state dept IT was so awful, HRC’s best and most secure choice was to use her own server. Complete BS.
State department is always whining that they are second class to the DOD with respect to planning and funding. Wel, now they prove that that are. Bunch of unprofessional turds.
Good point IMO. It’s a side scenario they most definitely would create to make a convincing argument as you have outlined. They aren’t beyond this sort of creativity.
