The secret email server is actually more interesting than you think. They found hundreds of emails containing classified info (including TS info, like a picture of NK that one of the media guys talks about in the dump). We also have an email between Hillary & Colin Powell discussing how to subvert the Presidential Records Act.

This is part of what Colin Powell said that I think it especially illustrative of how big of a security risk people like this are when put in power:

Now, the real issue had to do with PDAs, as we called them a few years ago before BlackBerry became a noun. And the issue was DS would not allow them into the secure spaces, especially up your way. When I asked why not they gave me all kinds of nonsense about how they gave out signals that could be read by spies, etc. Same reason they tried to keep mobile phones out of the suite. I had numerous meetings with them. We even opened one up for them to try to explain to me why it was more dangerous than say, a remote control for one of the many tvs in the suite. Or something embedded in my shoe heel. They never satisfied me and NSA/CIA wouldn't back off. So, we just went about our business and stopped asking. I had an ancient version of a PDA and used it. In general, the suite was so sealed that it is hard to get signals in or out wirelessly.
