If I found out it was W, I might care .. I really wouldn't.. I'm actually not petty, but let's just say I would care. Flagrant arrogance and scoffing the law, I'd shout perhaps. The moderates wouldn't care. They just wouldn't. They're going to see this as an incredibly stupid thing to get bent out of shape about.
I know some people will care it was illegal, there are actually people who still believe in the law

It's all going to boil down to intent. There's knowingly breaking the law and then there's unwittingly doing so. So this law was passed relatively recently? Colin Powell used his personal email? So did other secretaries of state? Well then, who gives a flip? Tell her to use her official account for official business from now on and move on.

LMAO..Ignorance is no excuse to break the law. She knew what the law was, she chose to break it. And NO, Condi Rice did it legally. The law wasn't in place for Powell. That leaves CLINTON as the SOLE perpetrator.

I can read your passion for this. Still, it's just not going to rouse the moderates much. Go ahead and keep trying to make "email-gate" happen, and please don't be disappointed when it doesn't. I knew way back when that Rev. Wright's sermon wasn't going to sink Obama, and I can tell you know ... this one's going nowhere fast. It doesn't even have the sexy factor. This is just bad. What's next? She took home pens purchased for the office?

She created the e-mail account the day of her hearings. This wasn't an accident, she created the account to use for this purpose.

And — not that shoe-on-the-other-foot comparisons have much power to embarrass in politics these days — but it contrasts with Democrats’ howls of outrage over disclosures that operatives in the George W. Bush White House conducted official business on private e-mail accounts.
Indeed, Clinton herself was once worked up about this very issue. “We know about the secret wiretaps, the secret military tribunals, the secret White House e-mail accounts,” she said back then. So what to make of the revelation that Clinton avoided official e-mail entirely while at State? This had to be a deliberate decision. After all, the issue of the Bush e-mails was still in the news.
And, as The Washington Post’s Philip Bump reports, the e-mail domain clintonemail.com that she appears to have been using was created on Jan. 13, 2009, the day Clinton’s confirmation hearings began.

Like I said, too many people don't care if their elected officials break laws that you or me would be in trouble for. It's as if people WANT to be ruled by a dictator. It's shameful and dangerous.

I'm not so sure you or I would get in trouble for this, Sour. If we were low level State employees conducting official business on personal email, this would only become an issue if it caused a problem. If it didn't cause any international incidents, I think we'd get away with it. If caught, we'd be told not to do it again and that would be that.
My money had her as easily the next president, hands down. Now I won't vote for her, and she will unlikely win the election if she somehow manages to be nominated. Real bad moral lapse.
It is unconscionable that she ignored this very important legal requirement. I work in an industry where every single piece of correspondence/communication/email/tweet etc. is archived for ten years. It better be there when the authorities go looking, or you are toast.
And my industry is nothing compared to the State Department. Hillary should have known better, and if she didn't, she is too dumb to be President.
Yes, imagine following the same protocols your predecessors did. How stupid.
