If she legitimately didn't know that then she must have a few 'screws lose', as they say. You cannot be the United State's highest diplomat and not handle sensitive information. If Russia, China, DPRK, etc did not manage to successfully hack into her homebrew server then they should be ashamed of themselves.
This. I mean, look at Hilary's track record:
Attorney at a prestigious Arkansas law firm
First Lady
NY Senator
Secretary of State (with the power to determine who has security clearance, and what materiel requires such clearance)
There's very little chance that she's so unsavvy that she's unaware of the risks that using a private email server presents. From a legal standpoint, anyway, her resume suggests she's an expert at understanding the ramifications of not doing things the right way. And even if she doesn't get the technical necessity of keeping classified information on specified devices, her aides and handlers do/should.
So, she's either a criminal (and her lawyers (who don't have security clearance, mind you) destroying ~30,000 emails to the extent that they're impossible to forensically retrieve/piece back together certainly implies that), or utterly inept. Either way, she shouldn't be the nominee for President. And, no, I don't care if Colin Powell did something similar. The point isn't to excuse her because someone else did something similar and got away with it, but to demand that our elected officials don't act with wanton, perhaps criminally intended, negligence.
Anyone else handling secure communications and/or documents in such a manner would be fired.
