Keep on lying to yourself if it make you feel better.
The State Department says that Mr Kerry is the FIRST Secretary of State to primarily use his government e-mail account. That would mean that previous Secretaries of State did not. I'm not lying to myself. I'm accepting the State Department's word because I have no reason not to accept it.

In the very article the OP is based on it says Condi Rice did too. Of course the corrupt State Dept. is going to try and protect Hillary.
Hillary was right or wrong?
I lean left - I condemn Hillary's use of a private email account for official business
I lean left - I defend Hillary's use of a private email account for officoal business
I lean right - I condemn Hillary's use of a private email account for official business
I lean right - I defend Hillary's use of a private email account for officoal business I don't care, this will come to nothing
Do I wish that our entire government actually behaved thoughtfully? That people in power paid heed to the law, and why laws are passed, and what the intention of the law is? Yes. I wish those in power, and those who seek to lead us, actually behaved like thoughtful, responsible adults.
Do I understand that Hillary Clinton did exactly what her predecessors did, thoughtlessly following their lead? Yes.
So while I'm loathe to defend this, I'm more loathe to let people attack Mrs Clinton while hypocritically ignoreing that all Mrs Clinton did was follow the precedent set by previous Secretaries of State.
I WANT our government to be as transparent as possible. To operate to the highest standards. I want the people who serve us, the people, to have the highest moral and ethical standards. I'm just reconciled to the fact that what I want is an uphill battle, and in the meantime, partisan politics are a part of the problem.
If you think Mrs. Clinton does anything thoughtlessly you are indeed naïve. She set up this personal email account just before being appointed by President Obama. Do you really think she is so stupid not to consider that she needs a .gov email account to conduct official business? Someone who lived in the White House for 8 years? Really?

I think one of her aides asked how previous Secretaries of State handled their e-mail, and followed suit.

Emphasis on ALL. In other words the ONLY system she used was her PERSONAL account."
NO other Sec, of State did this. They used BOTH systems. So saying others did the same thing doesn't hold any water.
"There are e-mails in the archives coming from and going to Mrs Clinton's private e-mail address."
You are missing the point, AGAIN, if it is her PERSONAL account we do NOT have an archive of those emails.
Her staff scrubbed the emails BEFORE turning them over. If we DON'T have ALL her personal emails how do we know who she was conversing with? If her staff scrubbed EVERY email to and from YOU there would be NO RECORD OF IT.
You have lost every point you have tried to make.
