I spent eight years as a foreign service specialist IMS performing IT and had I or anyone else in the Department used personal Email for Official Business we would have first had our computer access suspended. Hillary knew, period that what she was engaged in was completely wrong but as we have seen from the Obama Administration across the board is that they all have utilized commercial Email accounts to circumvent government records achieving.

All US Department of State Email is consider Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) which is the rest of the Government's Unclassified. SBU was put into place to ensure all communications were covered under the NIST guidelines and government regulations, Foreign Affairs Manuals, Pamphlets, etc. so that no one was able to legally conduct any business with private Email accounts.

State Department Email is normally conducted on MS Exchange Servers. If the mail is to the same server's users it says locally to that network segment. If it goes elsewhere to someone in State, then is stays in the Departments Cloud, if it goes outside, then it transits public servers. It is not improper to send Email to a public server. It is improper to send Department Business from its employees from public servers. State Department communications are encrypted and decrypted as it travels different paths. This encryption is to prevent compromise, and is for all SBU workstations and network communications.

The entire Obama administration has been caught using personal email to conduct official business. Just because they do this does not make it legal. They should all be given the Gen. Petreas Treatment and put in jail as felons.
