I'm guessing here...but shouldn't somebody in an IT department have the job of setting up email for any new employees? "Madame Secretary, choose a password with letters, numbers, and a special character with at least one upper case letter." Then she is like, "No thanks I'm already using [email protected]." So IT guy tells his boss, boss realizes this is not standard, questions arise, Hillary is told to use official email, the end. Why didn't that happen?
Better yet, why did NONE of the people she emailed ask ONE of the 50,000 times they got an email "Why are you not sending this classified stuff via official email?" I would have.
I hate Hillary. I really do...but so many other people dropped some giant balls (ha, giant balls...) in all this.
Maybe all that came up, but I don't recall it...

This is a different issue then her personal sever. This is bringing a private BB into a secured Govt area. I currently work in a government building where you are not even allowed to bring your own phone for many reasons – photographing sensitive documents or top-secret systems, using your phone to eavesdrop on meetings, etc.
Not saying she was right with the personal server – just say that this seems like another issue – one where she asked permission and was told “no.”
Maybe why she did not ask about the personal server.
US EXCLUSIVE: Clinton Aides Resisted State Department Suggestion That Clinton Use State.gov Account Photo of Chuck Ross Chuck Ross Reporter 3:25 PM 01/18/2016 Bombshell emails from the State Department show that a top official at the agency suggested to Hillary Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin, in August 2011 that the then-secretary of state begin using a government email account to protect against unexpected outages of her private email server. But as the emails show, Abedin pushed back on the suggestion, telling the official, Stephen D. Mull, then the executive secretary of the State Department, that a State-issued Blackberry equipped with a state.gov email address “doesn’t make a lot of sense.” Besides showing that Clinton’s top aides were against the idea of her using a state.gov email account, the emails show for the first time that top State Department officials were aware of Clinton’s private email server arrangement.

Obama communicated with Hillary via email and he was sending/receiving to and from her private email address. He is also on record after the story broke as saying that he found out that she was using her personal email for State Department business 'the same way everyone else did, on the news'.
It was known by many.

When ?
That's what I want to know. Every week you repost at least one article about Hillary Clinton's emails from DailyCaller, WND or the like and it's always about some impending something or another that never happens.
Does it concern you that she broke the law by having her own private unsecured server in use for classified emails and is getting away with it so far?
Does it concern you that one week she says for the record she is moderate then the next progressive (at a mostly moderate then a mostly progressive meeting respectively)?
Does it concern you that she takes massive donations from Wall-Street and Corporate America?
Does it concern you that she was one of the biggest pushers to get the TPP through and NOW she opposes it now that the citizens are expressing their disdain en mass?
Does it concern you that she is not concerned about us and that she is a huge pile of lying dog $#!T ?

No. She very likely broke the law.
At issue are four sections of the "law. period.": the Federal Records Act, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA) regulations and Section 1924 of Title 18 of the U.S. Crimes and Criminal Procedure Code.
In short:
The Federal Records Act requires agencies hold onto official communications, including all work-related emails, and government employees cannot destroy or remove relevant records.
FOIA is designed to "improve public access to agency records and information."
The NARA regulations dictate how records should be created and maintained. They stress that materials must be maintained "by the agency," that they should be "readily found" and that the records must "make possible a proper scrutiny by the Congress."
Section 1924 of Title 18 has to do with deletion and retention of classified documents. "Knowingly" removing or housing classified information at an "unauthorized location" is subject to a fine or a year in prison.
Now just stick your head in the sand and go back to sleep.

I see people try to say this a lot.
It doesn't matter whether or not the material is marked with a classification. It's the content that makes it classified not a word stamped at the top.
The mishandling of classified information whether marked or not is a federal crime punishable by up to life in prison.
