Didn’t Clinton effectively alter and clandestinely augment the structure of the State Dept’s already-in-place and otherwise secure computer network system in the first place? How would she have been authorized to act as an IT manager other than by her having assumed the role or illegally outsourcing the task? Were there any actual State Dept. IT managers that were made aware of her actions? Who are they? Comey needs to answer some questions.
No, she didn't. People simply got in the habit of sending email to Clinton on her own server. If they didn't, her staff would forward it to her.
There was no overt connection from Clinton's server to the State Dept. insecure systems. And, there's also no direct connections between secure and unsecure systems -- everything transiting between them goes through a review process that can take at least 24 hours.
