That's what annoys me the most about this. what was going through her head when she became one of the most powerful people in government, trusted with securing deals with foreign countries, and thinks that setting up a back channel wouldn't be looked at as suspicious?

It is almost like she doesn't give a damn what you think. I'm beginning to not give a damn about her.

She remembered how the Republicans witch-hunted her before, and wanted to keep all her stuff under her control so they couldn't FOIA all her stuff.

I empathize with that. I really do. But there's no exception to FOIA for "the people who want the information are meanie heads."

When you're actively orchestrating illegal coups, or using the American soldiers as guns for hire in order to curry favor from various billionaires and autocrats for personal gain or to shape the world according to your own vision of how the global pecking order should work, you might not want that on the public record during your time in office.
