I really dislike HRC, as anyone can tell from reading a few of my posts about her and I ask my conservative friends to read the whole post before damning me as a sell out, turncoat or whatever..
But in a spirit of fairness, what are the worst, best and most likely mindsets we can plausibly imagine for her activities that the Inspector General and the FBI are or have investigated in her regards?
I honestly think that HRC wants to help people and that she believes herself to be the best person for POTUS to do that job, but she feels she has to engage in skulduggery to get to a place politically to become POTUS and be able to help people. She cut her legal teeth in the Age of Nixon, after all.
A huge number of honest people believe in HRC and trust her. A case in point is David Brock who after doing his attack book on Anita Hill was going to do a similar one on HRC. But he got converted into a HRC supporter. His fanatical support of her belies the idea that he was merely bought, such people simply drift into other endeavors or subjects to appeal to the established fan base, but not Brock. He willingly sacrificed the following he had to defend Hillary. This to my mind says he saw something in her that made him into a believer.
What is it about HRC that inspires such people if it is not a genuine desire to work for the betterment of society especially by helping the poor?
The trick is what you have to do to get the power to help anyone. How far will Hillary go to get that power and has she already gone too far?
And what explains the nastiness that she has inflicted on various people from her own husband to her SS body guards to journalists and the regular public? I believe that much of that comes from a certain kind of arrogance that grows from a belief in her mission, her unique qualifications to tackle that mission, and her contempt for all the other professional political class drones she has to deal with each and every day.
Yeah, maybe HRC is just an evil bitch, but that doesnt strike me as plausible given the Brock events nor in how many average people from across the country believe in her deeply. Were she as nasty in her heart of hearts as she is on the surface so often, these people would sense that and steer clear and they obviously have not.
The best scenario is that HRC is just naive and trusting for her subordinates to carry out all her instructions with little oversight. There is great plausibility for a person from her generation to not grasp the fundamental difference in having private email vrs a whole private email server. Hillary seems far to intelligent for this to be the case, IMO. So why take such a risk?
To me, the most likely explanation for Hillarys pratfalls is that she has a combination of seeing herself as a flawed champion of the people who means well and sometimes she gets caught by the day to day details, but who has never intended to break the 'real serious' laws and has no time to respect trivial annoyances in the law. And blend into this an unperceived arrogance that makes her proceed with what is most expedient for her when she feels it is a trivial matter. 'Out of my way; I am doing all this for the Little People!' I can hear in my mind coming out of her mouth with ease.
Unfortunately for her, the State Department has a long history of playing fast and loose with national security and the culture of that agency is such that 'minor' matters of classified document security are ignored on a routine basis, playing right into Hillary's worst practices and tendencies.
I dont think Hillary ever intended to break a major, serious national security law or rule.
The problem for her is that they are ALL major laws and rules for a reason; they are needed to safeguard our nations secrets, the lives of its agents and the common interests of our allies, all of which, intentionally or not, Hillary Rodham Clinton has betrayed.
At the very least she has demonstrated that she is incompetent with national intelligence and is therefore unfit to hold the office of POTUS. And growing thousands are beginning to realize this every day.

OBTW, Brock turned on the Republicans because they turned on him! They found out he was GAY and started disparaging him! Blame the bigot of your own party! ;-/
