What about the threat of the agency who secures the system simulateously compromising it in order to gain blackmail material on its user?
conspiracy theory.

This is a strange election. We have a Democrat who is pro-war, anti gay marriage, and backed by Saudis and wall Street.
It's between a republican who used to be a democrat and a democrat who used to be a republican. It's going to be odd.
Among the more disappointing things in all of this is that there is a rational, important conversation to be had about everyday awareness of security and government inflexibility. But there won't be, because she is Hillary Clinton and it is 2016. Supposedly she got the server set up because the NSA refused to give a politician who travels frequently a secure smartphone. She (I personally believe) was likely ignorant…
This wasn't just poor IT security, this was willful ignorance of the consequences of state secrets being in the open. It is incredibly likely she was targeted by foreign intelligence. And perhaps Russia found it useful that no one was talking about their impending invasion of Ukraine or Iran learned how desperate the administration was to cut a deal? There were a thousand ways this could have undercut US foreign policy, which has recently been disastrous (Like when Hillary hung up the phone on her Russian counterpart in 2012 when Russia was trying to negotiate a peaceful conclusion in Syria - according to the Wikileaks embassy cables).

18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f)
Applying that to Hillary's case is a bit of a stretch. It's not like she was downloading all the confidential stuff at the White House and emailing it to herself. And anyone emailing to clintonemail.com would presumably guess that was going to the Clinton's email server.

I have a very hard time believing that the 3rd (possibly 2nd) highest person in the US government couldn't get their IT requests fulfilled.

Careful with the phrasing - it has been said others have used "private e-mail" but that is, to me, not the same as setting up a server and using it exclusively.
Do you know anybody with their own home email server?

Maybe it was rhetorical but I know dozens of people with home email servers. I set up my first one, personally, in 1997.
And I think the OIG report expressly said that Clinton was the only one to have done so.
OTOH, one could argue that a third party non-government, non-sanctioned, email system that the official does not control is potentially worse in many ways than a personal email server, as in the latter case the official at least in principal had control of retention and access and other aspects of the behavior of the system.

Not sure I'd agree. Seems like her voting record aligns more with neocons than liberals (war, traditional marriage, super predators, etc)
> Seems I'd love to hear a shred of fact on this, beause everything I've read that's researched it shows that's an absolute falsehood.

Hard to believe she is a Democrat.
