From the first paragraph of the article:
"In February 1987, at the height of the Cold War, a top official at State caused a leak of extremely sensitive material, classified above top secret. It was distributed far and wide—to nearly every country in the world. And for that serious information breach—much worse than anything Clinton is accused of—he received nothing more than a letter warning him to be more circumspect in the future."

I don't see a premise that no emails were classified, only that the breach in 1987 was far worse, yet resulted in nothing more than advice to not do that again.

FBI director Comey was quite clear on the details of how much and what level of classified information was on Hillary's server.


My opinion of Mr. Trump suggesting that Russian hackers should actively interfere in US presidential politics, is that such a statement rises to the level of treason.
He can't pass it off as sarcasm either. At that level one is not at liberty to make jokes about our national security.

First, is it legal to use a private server as a govt employee to do govt business?

Correct me if I am wrong. It doesn't seem against the law. It seems as long as you seek permission and check with security experts in the govt, you can have it setup. There was precedent in Bush admin as well. Now, did Hillary do it on her own or after going through established protocols at that time?

If it was done not following the protocol, then she should be liable for that.

Second, what type of security and what cryptography standards is that server using? Till wiki leaks, most of govt cryptography levels are crap with the exception of maybe NSA et al. For gods sake, the private sector banks are not being hacked left and right, otherwise all the bank deposits would have been left with zero balances. Nobody is talking about the standards that private server is using. I don't know why nobody is asking if that server is using standards at par, below or above what SOS uses.

I personally would not advise using a private server, but I would also look into the actual facts how it has been done and how it's being carried out assuming that it is legally allowed.
