Report Traces Arc Of Hillary Clinton Server, Agency Failures

Buried in a footnote in a government watchdog's report released Wednesday, the reference to the registration of clintonemail.com was an early step toward building what became the private homebrew email system that has attracted an FBI investigation and raised questions about Clinton's judgment while serving as the nation's top diplomat. The findings — more than a year in the making — also show how the use of private emails by Clinton and other top aides caused internal headaches for the few State Department officials who knew of its existence and for an agency that has long struggled to comply with federal cybersecurity and record-keeping requirements. Over time, through media accounts and now details in the inspector general's report, a clearer picture has emerged of Clinton's email system and its use: A basement computer, running Microsoft server software, directly connected to the internet to handle communications between Clinton and her aides. Outside that privileged circle, other senior officials scattered across the department had "some awareness" of her use of private emails to communicate internally — often because her emails to them originated from a rotating cluster of private clintonemail.com addresses. In late 2010, two State Department staff members raised concerns about Clinton's private email account in meetings with John A.
