Clinton's email scandal was certainly a factor and it was her own fault. What she did was stupid and negligent and it rightfully made people question her decision making ability. It probably wasn't criminal but it hurt her bad enough that I would consider it just punishment.

As for this situation now, the truth is that we don't know anything. There is actually nothing wrong with using private email for SOME types of correspondence. In fact, if the content has to do with subjects like campaigning or party functions, then they're SUPPOSED to use private email.

The content is the important part.
