Can someone tell me how it is more convenient to buy, setup, configure, maintain, and manage your own email server versus using the @.Gov.
Hahaha... Good question... obviously no one had the nerve to ask?
I think a hand full of High Computer geeks could question her alot stronger than our own press corps.
My brother has been running our private mail server for years, he uses Ice Warp I think. It is not that difficult, simple desktop and a fat pipe connection.
H*****y's "convenience" excuse is just a smokescreen. That has nothing to do with the reason for using a private server. Recall her statement that all her work related email would have been with other people on .gov servers, so the mail would be archived that way.
But her emails with non-US government entities would be off the record entirely. Given the Clintons' penchant for doing dirty under-the-table deals with countries, organizations, and individuals that are not, shall we say, friendly with the US, H*****y's server would be the only place in the US (besides the NSA, of course) where those emails would exist.
