Back in the summer of 2008, at the Dem Convention....Hillary was offered the VP position (it’s been told by multiple sources before), and instead wanted the State Department job. The reason I think was the money funnel to the foundation and prestige for running in 2016, plus another book to write after 2013 to help her cause. So, she knew way before 13 Jan 2009 about her situation.
I would surmise that her handlers looked at the way she operated and that she needed people outside of the State Department and US Gov’t who reviewed her emails and edited as necessary before sending on.
I would also suggest that no one in the White House knew this....they had an established account for her with the gov’t server and just kept sending their emails into that established account, which she never saw or read. So, for the four years....she probably never got a single email from the WH. A shocker, if proven true.
Makes sense about the Veep turn down. How could she after 4 years walk away and start planning her own run. Taking S.O.S. gave her much more leeway and freedom to go about her own agenda.
Nope, she had no .gov accounts. Zip. She didn't want anyone to have that out, to be able to say they only used her .gov account. She made the whole government complicit, with no escape, to blackmail them into protecting her making confidential emails available to enemies, hackers, countries and NGOs through guaranteed poor security.
