Google’s advanced protection program is probably the most secure way to have an email address if you believe you are likely to be targeted by a sophisticated attacker. It requires a security key to sign in every time, limits sign in with Google, and only lets you use Gmail, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird as your email client. Why Senators? They’re high ranking US government officials, they’re a prime target for state sponsored attackers. Other than Protonmail I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my email. Gmail is close to if not the #1 non-governmental target for state sponsored attackers. The NSA runs secure email for TS-SCI communications but they don’t want to have to teach John Podesta how to not get phished, and Google has the best defense against those attacks if you enable advanced protection.
