The unofficial emails are an absolute disgrace and should be a huge concern to anyone with even a modicum of security sense.

Training the entire government that it’s totally normal to receive official orders from external domains is nightmare fuel for anyone who has had to think about organizational security.

Remember the days when Trump supporters chanted "Lock her up!" because Hillary Clinton used a private email server?

Good times.

She used the private email server for classified communications. Firing decisions are not classified. A little bit different.
Right, a little bit different. If only she instead hired randos without security clearance and gave them full access to systems containing classified info. Now that would have been no problem.
She was advised to do so by the outgoing (Republican) SoS because departmental systems were so creaky that vital emails often fell through the cracks. There's zero evidence that anything was ever compromised by her running a server in her own very secure home.

Haven't you ever wondered why the Trump administration, once in office, never made any move to prosecute her?

No. He won and for him it was all that mattered.

And besides, politics is about winning through any speech and slogan necessary.

I think all politicians are crooked in one way or another and have a ton of skeletons in their closets.

Remember: official emails will only come from .gov domains. Oh, and also now @doge.lol.
