#3 Must've been because Gmail sounds more official than Yahoo for the cabinet.

#5 Our company's policy is this:

Anything business related needs to use the official company email address each employee has. Period.

Failure to do so means you are fired. Period.

You can use as many private email addresses as you like for your private stuff but you may not use company computers to access it. Period.

#6 They think they are untouchable, that is the problem.

When I worked for DOD, any hint that someone was using an unsecured account would bring down the wrath. These people do not fear retribution and punishment.

New policy - Anyone caught using unsecured communication methods will have their hands cut off and their tongue removed from their head.

#8 My company won't even let you use personal gMail on its devices or network for security reasons. But then, we're serious about protecting our data, not in fostering cheap political theatre.

#9 I'm pretty sure there's a reason they all use GMail accounts...

#10 ...Eric Schmidt refusing to comply with future potential congressional subpoenas on those accounts.

#11 So in order to hide their activities from FOIA scrutiny they conduct their business on an insecure platform with a huge attack surface and expose their precious information to any foreign entity that isn't electronically deaf and blind?

How much does it cost to bribe a Google intern to download the content of their mail accounts on a USB stick?

The free world is lead be people displaying Bizarro level stupidity.

#12 One rather 'wild eyed' theory is that the email scandal was actually created by the Clinton team (knowing that everyone including POTUS does it) and introduced by the NYT in order to portray HRC as the 'underdog.' Underdog status being necessary to win against Trump.

If that theory proves valid, the created scandal appears to have gotten somewhat out of hand.

#13 A 'not so wild' theory that should be examined centers around the foible that both Carlos Danger and Bill Clinton appear to have in common.

'Two things make the world go around... and the other one is money.'
~ author unknown

The Clinton's have the money issue well covered. The 'other'.... if it is in play, is yet to be revealed.
