M: Explain succinctly and as simply as possible what errors Hillary Clinton actually made with her email server. I’m under the impression that it might have been something as minor as using outdated security protocols. Try to limit your response to certain or near certain elements. Distinguish illegalities from protocol violations. If there is a certain issue, but with uncertain degrees of severity, please include in a separate section. Please include any major elements in question as a final separate section.

  2. Handling of Classified Information – Some classified information ended up on her private server, though the FBI found no evidence of intentional mishandling.
  3. Failure to Retain Records Properly – Government regulations required official emails to be preserved, but many were stored outside government systems and later had to be recovered.
