Clinton's private email server doesn't bother me from a national security perspective as it was probably as or more secure than our crappy government servers. But it's bothersome from a transparency and judgment perspective. She should have foreseen the problems it would cause and used the official server.
It's been revealed that Clinton told the FBI that she took the advice of Colin Powell in setting up her email system. Powell used a private email account for business and work, except for classified information. She went much further than that by using both a private email account (except for classified information, though some classified info reportedly got through) hosted by a homegrown server in her basement. That was not approved by the State Department.
Colin Powell contradicted what Clinton told the FBI. He told the press today that he doesn't recall a dinner conversation Clinton communicated to the FBI. He also said that he never recommended a private server to Clinton, in any case.
