Stay tuned. Allahpundit makes a point I alluded to yesterday, reasoning that there must be something that allows Hillary to justify the huge inconvenience and political risk inherent in her email scheme: Why was a private e-mail server so important to her to begin with?

According to a report on the CBS Denver website, Colorado-based Platte River Networks was managing her email account and server after she served as U.S. Secretary of State, but instead of being a government account, it was a private one, raising questions about security and whether adequate protocols had been put in place.
“The developments suggested that the security of Clinton’s email setup and how she guarded the nation’s secrets will remain relevant campaign topics”, AP said.
The Intelligence Community’s Inspector General is in possession of the server now, and so far has found four emails that do contain what is called “exceptionally highly classified” information.
Now that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server, agents are trying to determine whether the information exists anywhere else or were backed up.
We finally have some insight into the content of two “top secret” emails found on Hillary Clinton’s private email server and flagged by a government auditor.
Look, Indrajit, this kind of nonsense comes with the territory of running for president. There’s no way that he could continue to hold those thumb drives once it was suspected that some emails on those thumb drives might have classified information on them.
All told, McCullough has pointed to seven e-mails that he said contained classified information, including two with top-secret material. In sum, he concluded that seven emails-nearly one-fifth of the sample-contained classified information at the time they were sent. In fact, she handed over too many -the Department said it will be returning over 1,200 messages to her because, in their and the National Archives’ judgment, these messages were completely personal in nature. But regardless of what the FBI said before, it is former Secretary of State Clinton and her inner circle at the State Department (18 U.S.C § 793(f)(2) could cover their actions) that may have problems moving forward. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Others have indicated her losing swing states against Republican opponents.
Clearly, the Justice Department needs to make up for lost time. And so the legal argument for the Clinton campaign to try to clean this up is that well, we didn’t know that it was classified at the time it was sent.
Despite his requests, the State Department refused to give the intelligence community inspector general access to the entire batch of emails. Among the communications Hillary Clinton received on her server included references to coded information and imagery obtained via secure methods.
