Hillary Clinton has an email problem. No, her email wasn’t hacked. No, the email servers didn’t crash. It’s a wee bit different than that. You see, during her tenure as a federal employee where she was cleverly disguised as Secretary of State; Hillary used her email to correspond with lots of people. Well of course she did! They all use email to talk to each other! What’s the big deal?  Let me ask you, does this look like an assigned State department email address?

I thought not. First of all, why was a federal employee allowed to use her own email account? Michael J. Schmidt at the New York Times asked that very question:

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record.
Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act.

Did you catch that? The entire FOUR years that Hillster served as Secretary of State, she used a personal email account for all her business. Not only that, but she set that email account up on a PRIVATE domain at her house. Phillip Bump at the Washington Post points out another little fact that could make a BIG difference to Hillary’s campaign:

Examining the registry information for “clintonemail.com” reveals that the domain was first created on Jan. 13, 2009 — one week before President Obama was sworn into office, and the same day that Clinton’s confirmation hearings began before the Senate.
