State Dept.: Clinton IT aide's email archive is lost

If I told my employer that I refused to use a company email address, they would absolutely be suspicious.

And that's for a lowly developer job dealing with absolutely no classified information.

That's not the right analogy. It would be more like if you were a famous business person brought in to be CEO, and wanted to keep using your personal email.

You'd probably still catch some flak but you might have enough power/influence to actually do it whereas if you're employee #42593 of a big company there's no way in hell you're gonna get your way.

Oh, I agree that a CEO might get away with it. That doesn't make it right.

Similarly, Clinton will probably get away with it. That doesn't excuse her behavior though. Might does not make right.

You're absolutely right. I think a lot of people who get to the top in politics or business have an extremely high level of confidence and determination, but sometimes that turns into arrogance and a disdain for rules. Clinton is one of those people that I think has an attitude of 'rules are for little people'.

Hopefully she'll keep that character flaw in check as president, but I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't.
