There was no rule in place preventing Hillary from using a private server. What you posted was someone's opinion, not a rule.
You have to be related to Hillary.
"But according to the National Archives and Records Administration, there was a regulation in place governing Clinton's use of personal email for official business while she was secretary of state. And it seems she did not fully abide by this. In a statement issued today, the National Archives notes that it has "reached out to the State Department to ensure that all federal records are properly identified and managed." And the statement says:
Since 2009, NARA's regulations have stated that "Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency recordkeeping system."
This rule is clear: If Clinton used personal email to conduct official business—which apparently did not violate any federal rules at the time—all of those emails had to be collected and preserved within the State Department's record keeping system. That makes sense: The whole point of preserving official records of government business is to have this material controlled by the government, not by the individual official or employee. Yet in this case, Clinton and her aides apparently did not preserve all her emails within the system.
Did you realize that this contradicts your claims? I'll highlight the relevant part for you:
—which apparently did not violate any federal rules at the time—
The rest of the analysis is incorrect - Hillary was under no obligation to collect and preserve personal emails on her server - and was the sole arbiter of what was "personal" and what was not.
This has also been confirmed repeatedly.

Is it disgusting to lift out part of a sentence in a disingenuous way to attempt to prove your point. Here is the entire sentence you quoted.
This rule is clear: If Clinton used personal email to conduct official business—which apparently did not violate any federal rules at the time—all of those emails had to be collected and preserved within the State Department's record keeping system.
She chose to delete 33,000 of those emails that were supposed to be collected and preserved within the State Departments record keeping system.
Here is the link I should have posted.

As for the law you're trying to quote - here it is:
(b) Agencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency recordkeeping system.
36 CFR 1236.22 - What are the additional requirements for managing electronic mail records?
Hillary Clinton's personal emails do not qualify as "Federal records", and therefore she was not obligated to turn them over. You can argue that she may have deleted emails that should be treated as "Federal records" - but that's not illegal either, since legally she is the one who gets to decide which emails are personal and which are not.
If the private email is transmitted under a govt email server, the private email can be reviewed and the employee can be disciplined. That rarely happens but that is the law. So, if she was using a private server, she could easily conclude that none of her emails would ever be under review. I know this is anecdotal but I had to comply with sensitive information with the dept of the interior and was subject to such laws.
Perhaps she could "easily conclude" that, but I don't know what it has to do with what I posted. I'm not particularly interested in what you believe Clinton could have thought. I'm just talking about whether it was illegal or not.
