Secretary Clinton's Personal eMail Server
When Hillary Clinton received an email as secretary of state, the message landed at a server registered to her home in New York’s Westchester County and physically located in the area, according to Internet registration records.
That set up underscores the lengths Mrs. Clinton and her inner circle went to create a communications system that they could more closely control.
For personal email, most individuals either use consumer services such as Google ’s Gmail or rent space on a technology company’s data center.
The private system also meant that government officials would have had to go through the former cabinet member—and likely 2016 Democratic presidential candidate—herself to access her email, whether to check for hackers or in the case of a subpoena or records request.
