Nobody has suggesting that setting up an SMTP server is a crime. Heck, nobody has said she shouldn&#x27;t be using clintonemail or w&#x2F;e for her personal communications (inc. Clinton Foundation business).<p>The issue was and is only with her use of a privately run SMTP server for her government job. There&#x27;s three key problems, first off it avoids FOIA requests, secondly it can avoid other legal discovery, and lastly information was sent through it of a sensitive nature.<p>And before someone replies with &quot;nothing was sensitive!&quot; if that were true then why has the government redacted and withheld emails from the public? And retroactive classification is largely a myth, things inherit classifications from their source.<p>So for example if you attend a classified meeting and you or your staff take notes on that meeting, those notes are classified at the second pen touched paper. It doesn&#x27;t matter than it lacks a classification marking.
