75% of people probably don't understand domain names/servers; in his position, I would have assumed it was a secure, govt server. Plus, the past secretary of state did the same, and the Bush administration deleted millions of emails (not just a few thousand)

  How often do you read the domains of the people that send you emails? Also how is it surprising that Hillary, who is almost 70, can't use computers. I'm sick of these scandals on both sides with one side assuming Clinton is a Bond villian and the other side perfectly ready the think Trump is literally Hitler

    The IBM PC was available when Hilary was 35, hardly an old person to learn how to use a computer, especially since she is a lawyer who would presumably use computers (as lawyers do) for typing legal documents, performing searches through WestLaw, etc. Hilary was 50 when web browsing on the Internet became available. She was intelligent enough to get into Yale Law school, so one might expect she might be intelligent enough to understand a little bit about email. Clinton, according to a former Attorney General, broke the law as mentioned in the WSJ column as linked above. She used her own private email server for government email so that emails could be destroyed so as not to be made public through Freedom of Information Act requests. Many of the political and media elites are critical of Trump, but nothing he has done is as serious as what Hilary has with the emails and the attempts to cover them up. Many of the elites misstate Trump. He is not against immigrants, he is against illegal immigration. He is hardly a misogynist, since he hired a woman to be in charge of his construction company in the 1980's.

      I work for a legal software company so I can tell you that there are still lawyers practicing now who cannot use computers almost at all despite being very smart people. It's just a matter of perspective. She talked to the previous person in her job to figure out what to do and then she did what he said. There was nothing found that was marked classified, which would have made is so she obviously knew exactly what she was doing, so it just seems to me that she didn't really understand the situation and was lax in dealing with information that should've been classified. I haven't seen anything not circumstantial that she purposefully put classified information on this server.

Don't they have to type reports or briefs while in law school using Word? Don't they have to use WestLaw and other search programs in law school? Don't they buy things on Amazon? Search for articles in Wikipedia? > so it just seems to me that she didn't really understand the situation.... There were people telling her not to use the private server. Moreover, I think almost anyone working for government would understand that official Secretary of State business belongs on government emails and servers and not an email server in one's home with private email addresses. She was doing what she was doing so she could delete the emails so that people could not do Freedom of Information Act requests.
