O'Donnell: Clinton's Use Of Private Email "A Stunning Breach Of Security"

Did Henry Kissinger use a government e-mail account? How about Edwin M. Stanton? He served "Honest Abe" during the Civil War for Christ's sake, yet we have no e-mails from this guy. A republican administration gets a pass as usual. Just another vast right wing conspiracy to attack Clinton. No story here. Move along.
I thought you'd get it. If we're going to hear absurd excuses by Hillary and her team, I just wanted to help.
Just wanted to make sure. Sometimes sarcasm can be a little too authentic.
I don't think it takes a whole lot of imagination to figure out why Hillary, with her experience and demonstrated expertise at stonewalling investigations, would not want to use governmemt email.
It just shows how the Clintons are playing an entirely different game than the obama amateurs, like Lois Lerner.

Clinton ran own computer system for her official emails

The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Clinton's emails — on a private account she used exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state — traced back to an Internet service registered to her family's home in Chappaqua, New York, according to Internet records reviewed by The Associated Press.
The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, impressive control over limiting access to her message archives. It also would distinguish Clinton's secretive email practices as far more sophisticated than some politicians, including Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, who were caught conducting official business using free email services operated by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc.
Most Internet users rely on professional outside companies, such as Google Inc. or their own employers, for the behind-the-scenes complexities of managing their email communications. Government employees generally use servers run by federal agencies where they work.
In most cases, individuals who operate their own email servers are technical experts or users so concerned about issues of privacy and surveillance they take matters into their own hands. It was not immediately clear exactly where Clinton ran that computer system.
Clinton has not described her motivation for using a private email account — hdr22@clintonemail.com, which traced back to her own private email server registered under an apparent pseudonym — for official State Department business.
Operating her own server would have afforded Clinton additional legal opportunities to block government or private subpoenas in criminal, administrative or civil cases because her lawyers could object in court before being forced to turn over any emails. And since the Secret Service was guarding Clinton's home, an email server there would have been well protected from theft or a physical hacking.
But homemade email servers are generally not as reliable, secure from hackers or protected from fires or floods as those in commercial data centers. Those professional facilities provide monitoring for viruses or hacking attempts, regulated temperatures, off-site backups, generators in case of power outages, fire-suppression systems and redundant communications lines.
