Hillary was concerned about security

It is not true that Hillary Clinton chose to use a private email account while Secretary of State because she didn’t value security. The problem was that she valued security against Congressional committees over that against foreign enemies, and the scheme worked very well: Keeping complete control with the private server permitted her to discard everything she considered politically damaging before Congress could get their hands on it. The fact that she had to step on a few rules and possibly laws in the process was a small price to pay, and the current brouhaha will die down by election day. The only danger is that (as Jonah Goldberg put it) “another fetid cloud of Clintonism erupts” in the meantime.
