Even if it was the president of the company that ordered the server to |
| 8 |
be set up and told you to use it? It was certainly against previous |

State Department policy. OTOH, when the Secretary of State says "do |
| 10 |
this", that sort of becomes State Department policy. ;) |

They claim was that they didn't knowingly use the private server for |

classified stuff. It turns out they were wrong about that. |

Judging by the Trumpian rhetoric, it is. There are people who say she |

should be stood up in front of a firing squad and shot for it. And I |
| 23 |
don't think they were being hyperbolic. |
