Again, one thing is not like the other.  She was hired to be SoS by the President.  If she becomes President, it will be because she was _elected_ by the people.  You can claim being elected President is just a different kind of way of being hired, but this comes down to a legal distinction.

Also, as I said before here, there is a systemic issue in the government at nearly all levels where IT infrastructure is massively underfunded.  Had Hillary not done what she did, and by extension been allowed to do, she could still have been hacked because the government has been hacked multiple times (including the State Department) already.

I know it's a different jurisdiction. My comment is just that it's ridiculous.

And on the IT infra... it's partially the fault of her higher up and president that she wants to succeed and probably says is fantastic. Second, you can't say that because the system would fail anyway you decided to fail first.

I lay the blame on the current state of government IT infrastructure mostly on the congress.  They are the ones who pass the budget.  

That is not the say that I think Hillary doesn't make bad decisions.  If she had wanted to follow procedure and use a 'secure' and sanctioned State Department server for her emails then it would have been done and we wouldn't be dealing with this stupid side show.  Instead she decided to be selfish and careless.  Also, plenty of people who _should_ have told her no, did not.
