Maybe it was rhetorical but I know dozens of people with home email servers. I set up my first one, personally, in 1997.

In context, that was implicitly "any previous US Secretary of State", not "any human being on Earth".
And I think the OIG report expressly said that Clinton was the only one to have done so.
OTOH, one could argue that a third party non-government, non-sanctioned, email system that the official does not control is potentially worse in many ways than a personal email server, as in the latter case the official at least in principal had control of retention and access and other aspects of the behavior of the system.
Careful with the phrasing - it has been said others have used "private e-mail" but that is, to me, not the same as setting up a server and using it exclusively.
Do you know anybody with their own home email server?
