A look at some of Clinton's past claims about her unusual email set-up and how they compare with the inspector general's findings:
CLINTON: "The system we used was set up for President Clinton's office. And it had numerous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches." - March 2015 press conference.
THE REPORT: Evidence emerged of hacking attempts, though it's unclear whether they were successful.
On Jan. 9, 2011, an adviser to former President Bill Clinton notified the State Department's deputy chief of staff for operations that he had to shut down the server because he suspected "someone was trying to hack us and while they did not get in i didnt (sic) want to let them have the chance to."
Later that day, he sent another note. "We were attacked again so I shut (the server) down for a few min."
The following day the deputy chief emailed top Clinton aides and instructed them not to email the secretary "anything sensitive."
Also in May 2011, Clinton told aides that someone was "hacking into her email," after she received a message with a suspicious link, the new audit report said.
The Associated Press has previously reported that, according to detailed records compiled in 2012, Clinton's server was connected to the internet in ways that made it more vulnerable to hackers. It appeared to allow users to connect openly over the internet to control it remotely.
Moreover, it's unclear what protection her email system might have achieved from having the Secret Service guard the property. Digital security breaches tend to come from computer networks, not over a fence.

I can’t say she’ll ever pay for her sins. But, she won’t be president either. The tide of public opinion has shifted and is now strongly running against her. We’re seeing people like Andrea Mitchell turn against her. AS more people go on record swearing off Hillary, it will increase the impetus to retire her.
Electability is key. Her electability is eroding every day now that the media has lost its single minded focus in her defense and adulation.
She’s a goner. It will be up to someone high up in the hierarchy in the Democrat Party to deliver the news that she’s no longer the candidate of choice.
Hillary will suffer some sort of extreme medical development that will be the excuse for her withdrawal.
All good comments; I was just too lazy to make them.
Also she claims the documents were not marked classified. That’s lawyer speak technically true also, because none of the documents that I’ve ever seen were marked “Classified”. Instead, they’re marked “Confidential”, “Secret”, “Top Secret”, or “Top Secret” with some special compartmentalizing stamps.
Yep - with the actual classification markings, the "classified" may or may not be in evidence and is usually in a statement about the document containing classified data vs. being a classification marking.
“misstates key facts” = LIES
Well, THEY see us as rubes... it’s one more way for them to insult us.
“too lazy to make” - LOL - seriously funny...
