Eh, the handling of classified information is in itself an important thing to get right.  It's not about blackmail (although that is a small risk), it's about information security.  Maintaining your own server is difficult enough when you're not the most powerful woman on the planet.  Cloud backups are risky from an infosec POV.  Not only do you need to ensure the connection is secure, you need to ensure that the cloud storage itself is compliant with whatever security requirements (in terms of the hardware, software, and people with access to both) are necessary by law.  The more distributed and complex the solution is, the more that can go wrong.  So, her choice shows a concerning lack of understanding or care about potentially classified information which I find troubling.

Moreover, if she broke the law, she should be punished in accordance to that law.  It doesn't matter if 'everyone else does it' or if she didn't do it intentionally.  Laypeople get punished for things they see others doing, or for things they didn't realize were illegal all the time.  I don't see why she should be different, if she did indeed break the law.

I don't care about Benghazi.  I think it was handled sloppily by the Obama administration from a PR perspective in the days immediately following it, but it's completely overblown.  We suffered attacks on our embassies all throughout the Bush era and no one batted an eye.  What I care about is whether or not one of our elected officials, through a combination of stubbornness and ignorance, unwittingly compromised classified information, and if that's indeed the case, if she is treated as being above the law (as is the case with most politicians and celebrities, and part of the problem) or not.
