2. It absolutely should not!

Only official government business should be. When government supplies or services are used they should only be used for official government purposes.

Hillary can't be accused of using government services for personal use in this case. Since she did both government and personal on her own privately paid server.

What many forget too is that Cabinet Secretaries and others in top level power don't have defined periods of time that are personal or business. They overlap or mesh at times.

The press is reporting this story as if email is the only way that Hillary (Cabinet Secretaries) communicate with people. And only she does the communication. If that were the case she wouldn't need the staff she had that handled incoming and out going calls. Or write letters and reports. Actual hard copies in many cases. How many of her staff do have govt email and the critical work goes through them?
