^ NotHillary demonstrating how to use an officially sanctioned channel of communication. Book your convention rooms now, Biden family.
There were official documents and policies pre-2010 that recognized the fact that simple security features such as public encryption and digital signatures were not available on government systems and detailed how employees were to use other email systems if they required those capabilities. The public evidence of this is that prior to 2010 you wouldn't see any mobile email device outside of a blackberry that was dedicated only to government email being used by the vast majority of officials. Those that didn't use them, had multiple accounts on their own devices at that time, or used a dedicated phone other than a blackberry were using their own solution.
There were few requirements on email until 2010 mainly because all the executive-level folks at various agencies had their own way of doing business. The vast majority used a government email for some things and personal email for others - but did not split them between personal/business and it was not required to do so. All that was required was the basics of record keeping and data protection which is entrusted to all government employees.
For a year we were encouraged to use encrypted Gmail with two-factor authentication, and had to print out our emails and store them. Even the DHS email system wasn't completed in 2008 - they were on Exchange 2003, without a comprehensive solution for encrypting or retaining all email. Don't make me laugh regarding US-CERT (or "Einstein" if you prefer) - that was nowhere 7 years ago, and when they realized exactly how many agencies and groups and individuals were using their own solutions the had to form an entire new program just to reduce the number of places US-CERT had to exist. A year after it was mandated it was in less than 1% of where it was supposed to be.
Maybe it's because I've seen that effort from the ground level that this doesn't move the needle for me - not if Hillary did it, not if Bush did it. What would matter is if records were destroyed intentionally. Emails from 7+ years ago being deleted through negligence... Meh. I mean, good luck finding anyone in government who can produce all their emails from 2007 if they weren't maintaining them privately. Everyone just thinks they're on a server somewhere or in a tape in some magic bunker or something - they're more than likely not.
The politico article on opinions in New Hampshire and Iowa are interesting. New Hampshire people basically said this is getting no press there but everyone is all in on the GOP letter. Interesting.
Any polling of voters outside of the local Dem headquarters?

I am becoming more convinced that Hillary will not be POTUS and Dems would do well not to nominate her...especially without a fight.

DC is full of two-faced people. My guess is this story broke from inside the Obama administration.
Doesn't really matter. I definitely don't think Obama cares about that, especially at this point. The Clintons and Obamas don't get along, and even if it didn't come from the top of the administration, I'm sure there are plenty of other people in the administration who would love to sink Hillary, whether they be for personal, political, or just petty reasons.
