Hillary is so hated on all sides that her saying ‘drinking water is vital to survival’ would cause just about everyone to consider, if only for a brief moment, crimping their taps shut.
True. And very much a key result of decades-long attacks on her by the usual suspects.
As much as the “but her emails!” crowd are stupid marks, her private email server was probably worse
No, for a couple of reasons: one, she never sent classified documents, that was what the whole shitshow FBI fuckup was about - you can bank on that being the case because Cheeto Mussolini would have seized on it in a heartbeat. Two, at the time she did that it was not illegal or even against policy (or even tradition - any way they want to look at it). It was inadvisable - Unless she’s got a good security person it’s probably a bad idea, but no dumber than letting Microsoft run free decades after being declared a monopoly or any other tech-related idiot political event.
And what the hell Three it’s absolutely nothing like taking boxes of classified documents home and sticking them in an unlocked, unguarded side closet / bathroom-with-a-chandelier and then LYING ABOUT IT MANY TIMES.
worse (from a national security perspective) than accidentally CCing an Atlantic journo into an airstrike discussion.
Also no for the above reasons and the additional point that classified information - guaranteed, no-shit, don’t-believe-the-pathological-lying-white-house - classified information was sent over an unapproved insecure (obviously) channel. By the Secretary of Defense.
All that FBI bullshit Hillary went through? Drinky Pete needs to begin that journey that will take years. YEARS.
No 'her emails" was not worse. Not even close. Her “hated on all sides” is not the case. And an opinion piece in the Times is nothing to get excited about.

There’s no reason a private email server is inherently insecure. If it was properly hardened, it’s a non-issue from a national security perspective.
Hell, given the old tech the government still uses, a private server might be more secure.
