I don't know, for example, whether the private server here was better or worse secured than the official one - I could easily imagine it being more secure, though that is unlikely to make using it the right course of action. I don't know how common it is to use independent servers instead of the official ones for people high in the US administration - certainly Trump's family did exactly the same thing. Perhaps it is common practice. I don't know to what extent, if any, Clinton was actually involved in the use of the server or the choice of it - I would find it very believable to think that she had no more clue about the technical details than the average politician, and relied entirely on an IT staff member. It is certainly clear that Trump scored a lot of points in the election campaign by focusing on Clinton's email server. But it is far from clear, to me at least, that it was her fault (not just her responsibility), whether it was a real national security risk, or whether it was an unusual situation. It is not even clear that it actually affected the election in any way - if it hadn't happened, I am sure Trump would have found something else to focus on instead. There is a lot more that goes on in politics than the simplified versions shown in the media, and perhaps we /should/ be humble about expressing opinions on much of it. On the other hand, that would spoil the fun of discussing politics. Maybe these folks have got it right: <https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-35524966/house-of-shame-parliament-brawls-around-the-world> That seems a much more civilised way to settle political disagreements, rather than fixating on email servers...
