http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/clinton-email-scandal-hillarys-documents-flowed-openly-across-web/Corruption: Its been known for some time that Hillary Clintons personal email contained top-secret government material. Were also learning just how vulnerable her system was. She might as well have posted documents on an open blog.
While secretary of state, Clinton conducted State Department business through a personal email account handled by a private server that did not meet the governments security standards. The homebrew system was probably the most susceptible to hackers during its first two months of existence when emails passed through it without encryption.
...
The security risks posed by Clintons email arrangement went beyond just the first months of her tenure, though. Remember, it was never a secure government system and it was used by someone who has a frighteningly outdated view of email security, Computer World said last year, and who tried to argue that it was secure because the server was on property guarded by the Secret Service.
But all cant be blamed on naivete, or an antiquated understanding of technology security. Clintons choice to use a nonsecure personal email account rather than a secure government account was made consciously and deliberately. She wanted to conduct government business outside of the sterilizing effects of sunlight. That she might endanger national security didnt matter to her. The public would do well to remember this as she gets closer to the Democratic nomination.

She had to email Huma and ask for help.

I can't take anything said by a wingnut rag seriously, and I don't expect to be reading this garbage on a Democratic site.

Also, Google is a right-wing source.
