If Hillary couldn't handle an email address without exposing classified material to hackers, why should she be trusted to run the entire country?

Hillary's secret email was maintained by a tiny company that kept the servers in the bathroom

Hillary Clinton has repeatedly claimed that her super-secret private server was absolutely secure. It was a regular email Fort Knox. So, how secure was it? So secure that the servers were housed in the bathroom closet of an 1,800-square-foot Denver loft. You read that right. The company tasked with handling the classified emails that Mrs. Clinton wasn't supposed to be sending was a mom and pop firm called "Platte River Networks." ...And the titular river, was, apparently, the toilet.
The Hillary faithful will, no doubt, argue that the location of the server has little to do with how tough the encryption is. They'll say "So they were in a bathroom closet. The information was still locked down and that's all that matters." Unfortunately, some of the companies own former employees disagree. They express shock that such sensitive material was handled in such a shoddy way, and they can't figure out why Clinton was using their firm in the first place. If that's not enough, it seems they were told to keep it all a secret as well. From the Daily Mail, who tracked down the ex-Platte River Networks workers:
One, Tera Dadiotis, called it 'a mom and pop shop' which was an excellent place to work, but hardly seemed likely to be used to secure state secrets. And Tom Welch, who helped found the company, confirmed the servers were in a bathroom closet. It can also be disclosed that the small number of employees who were aware of the Clinton contract were told to keep it secret.
How did Clinton come to use what appears to be, at least at the time, a pretty dinky operation? No one's entirely sure. However, they do have a close relationship with another political entity: The Democratic Party.
The way in which Clinton came to contract a company described as a 'mom and pop' operation remains unclear. However Daily Mail Online has established a series of connections between the firm and the Democratic Party. Speaking to Daily Mail Online at her home in Castle Rock, Colorado, Tera said: 'I think it's really bizarre, I don't know how that relationship evolved. 'At the time I worked for them they wouldn't have been equipped to work for Hilary Clinton because I don't think they had the resources, they were based out of a loft, so [it was] not very high security, we didn't even have an alarm. 'I don't know how they run their operation now, but we literally had our server racks in the bathroom. I mean knowing how small Platte River Networks... I don't see how that would be secure [enough for Clinton].' Founded in 2002 by entrepreneurs Treve Suazo, Brent Allshouse and Tom Welch, Platte River Networks worked out of a 1,858 square feet loft apartment in downtown Denver up until this earlier year when they moved to a much bigger 12,000 sq.ft space. Clinton's 'homebrew' computer system housed her emails while she was Secretary of State between 2009 and 2013. Platte River Networks provided its services in mid-2013 according to Barbara Wells, the company's lawyer."
So.... Hillary said she turned over everything. She didn't. Hillary said she never sent classified material. She did. Hillary said all of her correspondence was saved because people at the other end of the conversations were using government addresses. They weren't. In fact some of them had private addresses on her server. Hillary said her server was secure. We're willing to bed the NSA, DHS, and Pentagon don't consider a bathroom closet in Denver "secure." Hillary still maintains that the 30,000 deleted emails were all recipes, wedding plans, and personal musings. Given that she's lied about everything else, why would any sane person believe that? Given her gross disregard for laws and rules, much less the sensitive nature of the information she was passing around, how can the DNC still pretend that Hillary is capable of leading the most powerful nation on Earth? If the woman couldn't handle an email address without exposing classified material to hackers, why should she be trusted to run the entire country?
