Speaking as a leftist, keeping her email off of government servers means that there’s no audit trail and no record of her communications as Secretary of State and it also potentially left her vulnerable to snooping. We don’t know if she was snooped. We don’t know if she broke the law as SoS. We can’t know, because she broke with normal procedures and thus nothing is transparent or discoverable. the federal government has an IT department for very good reasons.
This isn’t a ‘tea party criticism’ about ‘email practices’, it’s concern about government transparency and procedures. I find the apathy about this to be perplexing, but I guess most people aren’t very computer literate. Still, I’d expect a bit more from BoingBoing readers, at least.
