They got what they deserved for being crooks. Didn't she applaud all surveillance laws? Well then she shouldn't care if she doesn't have anything to hide.
Those emails she deleted were only personal things, until someone joked about exposing them, then they became national security related.
It became a national security issue when the Republican candidate called on a foreign power to influence the election.
If the end result is exposing criminal behavior, it doesn't actually matter who does the exposing. I mean, that's why we have whistleblower laws - because we supposedly care about exposing corruption more than leaking secrets. If they don't find anything, then they're not influencing the election. If they do find something, then it's Clinton who should be held accountable for her criminal actions, not the person/people who expose those actions.
I find it interesting that the national media is more concerned with the hacking and who did it than with what the content of the emails was.

If Bernie Sanders was not given a fair shake and that is revealed in emails, why is that not the major topic rather than by whom or how the emails were hacked?

I've been saying this exact same thing since the initial release. The media is completely missing the point. Yes, it's mildly important who did it and why but how is that overshadowing that the winning campaign conspired with both the media and the DNC to divert resources and work against the Sanders campaign. Makes the whole issue of the Sanders camp looking at some voter records for a few hours earlier this year seem completely overblown.
They have to report the news, so they choose the lesser good.
This is the Clinton campaign servers. You are confusing two different incidents.
It is a different issue but it reminded me of the other one, sorry to hijack/piggyback.
At first it seemed like a brilliant Russian ploy to hack the DNC to make them look back and help Trump. Two strongmen unite! Great work!!

Now it's happened again and it seems like a brilliant ploy by the Democrats to make it look like Trump's call for hacking worked and he is totally irresponsible and a security risk!! Great work!!

Unless.....

They should probably just start using gmail.
It's funny to me that government officials are now all up in arms about their personal data being made available to the people when they've implemented program after program to make our personal data available to them. Doesn't feel so good when the shoe is on the other foot, does it?

But don't worry, as you've always told us: if you haven't done anything wrong, what do you have to hide?

This is the Clinton election campaign servers. No government officials involved.

Great. We should worry the ugly conspiracies come to life through these leaks rather than who hacked and leaked them.
