I believe the motive may also have been to facilitate the selling of state secrets to foreign agents. The hard part of espionage is transporting the secret material out of the secure area. Clinton automated that.
I think you are right about that...all part of the Clinton pay-to-play schemes. What was exposed to the light of Day was bad enough: selling national uranium for $500,000 “speaking fees” paid to her slimeballs husband, $250,000 “speaking fees” to her. Just imagine the transactions that occurred on that server.
Good point about getting secret materials out of the secure area. Chambers’ book “Witness” discusses that a lot. Microfiche in hollowed out pumpkins on a farm! Sure a lot easier these days, especially when your own SOS is selling.
Why doesn’t the MOTIVE for her setting it up never get discussed? Something is fishy here.
