HILLARY CLINTON #39;S BIZARRE SPEECH: We REALLY NEED Camps for Adults! ROFLMAO!

HILLARY CLINTON'S BIZARRE SPEECH: We REALLY NEED Camps for Adults! ROFLMAO! - Video
Summary:Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed email concerns in a statement followed by a question and answer segment with the press. We have the full video, plus analysis of her comments.
In a press conference today (video below), Hillary Clinton confirmed that she and former President Clinton did run their email through a private server "protected by the Service Service."
In answering questions, she stated that no classified email messages were sent through her private email account and that at the time of joining the State Department it seemed easier to keep using one device and one email account.
She addressed concerns about deleting private emails and the archiving of government emails. Her premise was that others in the government were mailed on their .gov accounts, so those messages would be archived at the receiving end.
She further said that after reviewing and turning over all government related emails, even those that could only tenuously be considered government-related, she then destroyed those emails that were personal.
This, of course, is one of the big areas where the Federal Records Act gives latitude to government employees that may not be in our long term best interests in the form of disclosure.
The way Mrs. Clinton described her actions regarding personal vs. government email is well within the law, but that law does have some failings. We will continue to address these issues years into the future until we decide whether or not we want all email messages (and texts and chats) archived, regardless of whether they are personal or government-related.
In any case, she confirmed that the family is operating a server, stating it began with President Clinton's use. It was not clear whether that use began while President Clinton was in the Oval Office (which would possibly be 1990s tech) or whether it began when Mr. Clinton started using it at some date following his departure from the White House.
Mrs. Clinton further stated that there were no breaches of the server itself, but as we well know, there was at least one "Guccifer" breach in the email messages that were sent to her and her server.
In this context, then, my earlier analysis stating that it was unlikely she had a server was incorrect. I now find myself intrigued by what, exactly, they have been operating and exactly how it was configured -- details we're unlikely to get.

Hillary Clinton: Yes, I did operate a private server
Summary:Did she do anything wrong? Were federal record-keeping laws broken? Was security compromised? Email expert and presidential scholar David Gewirtz deconstructs Hillary Clinton's emailgate.
Credit: APLet's start with the elephant in the room. Hillary Clinton could be America's next president.
According to PredictWise, she currently has a 74.9 percent chance of winning the Democratic nomination (the next closest is Elizabeth Warren, with a 9.3 percent chance and Joe Biden with a 3 percent chance). Of definite concern to the Republicans, she has a 44.7 percent chance compared to Jeb Bush with 15.9 percent, Scott Walker with 6.4 percent, and Marco Rubio with 6.3 percent.
The point is, a fuss about Hillary Clinton's email isn't going away. The stakes for all the parties are way too high.
But did she do anything wrong? Were federal record-keeping laws broken? Was security compromised?
UPDATE 3/10/2015: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed email concerns in a statement followed by a question and answer segment with the press. We have the full video, plus analysis of her comments. Read Hillary Clinton: Yes, I did operate a private server.
As the update above shows, five days after this article was published, Mrs. Clinton acknowledged that she did have a private email server. Keep reading to see how my original, now clearly incorrect analysis was derived, and also for details that might shed light on more of her practices.
I'm basing this analysis on an aggregation of other press reports and public registry information because the sources who were so willing to provide information when I was investigating the Bush White House email situation are much less helpful when looking at a Clinton. That's not exactly a surprise. Politics is politics.
As was the case with the Bush email controversy, the press reports are confusing. Also, many reports are making incorrect assertions, probably due to a surprising (in this day and age) lack of understanding about how the internet works.
I'll start with an Associated Press report claiming that Mrs. Clinton (or, presumably, a staffer) "ran [her] own computer system for her official emails" out of her family's home in Chappaqua, New York.
