From FOIA.gov:

FOIA request can be made for any agency record.

Since the private email server is not part of the agency record, a FOIA request can not be made on it. I don't give a shit if you're an AC pretending to be some non-civilian. You apparently don't have a clue. FOIA requests are for public records, not private records. Her email server is a private record, so to get at it, you must have subpoena. The only hope you have with a FOIA record in this instance is that she didn't leave out any important emails. But good luck at getting anyone to willingly give up for record keeping incriminating emails.

Of the four Sec. of States that were around for email usage in the White House (Clinton and earlier). Two did not use email, Albright and Rice. The only other Secretary of State that used email was Colin Powell. He's admitted that he used a personal account for at least some of his official business. His emails are lost he says. Remember though, he was Sec. of State between 2001 and 2005. The means all of his emails are at least 10 years old by now.

More importantly, what previous holders of the office did does not matter here. Why? For at least a couple reasons. First, the push in recent years is for transparency. If previous holders did actions that are considered bad under the need for transparency and record keeping then continuing what they're doing is not right. Arguing that the previous guy did it and saying that absolves you of responsibility is wrong. Second, And pay attention here, Clinton in '07 in a speech railed against "secret emails" of the Bush administration, calling it cronyism and corruption; and then saying more transparency is needed. It's incredibly hypocritical to talk about that and then do what Clinton did.

Because no one else within either party is allowed to run in their primaries right? Seriously people, there are other folks in these parties. I was quite a fan of Huntsman back in the '12 Republican primaries, but everytime I brought him up, the liberals said he wasn't liberal enough and the conservatives said he wasn't conservative enough. It's so laughable.

Go vote in primaries people!!! SERIOUSLY! Open primary states are the easiest. But if you're closed primary, register as Dem or Rep and go vote. I'm tired of all of your lazy asses whining about lack of choices when you won't engage in minimal effort.

But that's a whole different debate and not exclusive to the PC Master Race crowd, as console gamers also complain about excessive QTE and overly easy games (Order 1886 is a good recent example). There are dumb downed easy games on PC as well. It's not some phenomenon that's due to consoles. I hear the same bitching and moaning about the dumbing down for MMOs as well. I hear it for the new Diablo from veteran Diablo players who think the loot rates are stupid high compared to the older games. To some degree it's the, "back in my day...something something...fifteen feet of snow...something something...both ways!" argument.

I don't deny that the PC is the more powerful platform. What I'm talking about is the sentiment that PC elitists have that console gamers are not real or can't be hard/core gamers. Trying to associate the console gamer with the casual smartphone gamer. When the fact of the matter is that consoles were a big part of the initial evolution of video games.
