Depends on what your definition of is, is.
I dunno, will people really care a lot more about that? Are legal ramifications of that high enough to give her any real trouble?
Well done

Well, she's not a Republican so obviously people will say she's one of the good ones.
I agree with you it's a big deal. How much of a big deal it is to the average American is up in the air.
Also, 30,000 work emails deemed of a personal nature that she withheld? What was she doing?

No it's really not. Not even a Clinton fan, but nobody gives a shit I think about this.

I'm definitely not a fan of Clinton, but I could give two tiddlywinks of fucks about this email bullshit. It's like a birth certificate.

no its not
There it is.
IT WERE EMAILS TO THE NIGERIAN PRINCE! All scandals lead back to Africa.
C'mon man, it's not like she committed human trafficking for sex across state lines, nor did she steal customer deposits. Besides she probably did not know, not like she is a lawyer.
They're not work emails if they're personal emails, no?
I mean, a lot of the emails she handed over aren't technically 'work' emails either, like people sending her pictures of Putin and her sending back a "pls print".
This is the real question

Isn't the issue her signed legal statement about disclosing everything? http://www.politico.com/blogs/under...y-clinton-email-certification-released-212156
I don't what this means for her legally, but it sounds potentially serious especially if more work-related emails are uncovered.

What's the worst case scenario if she were to be punished in some way?
I swear, this whole thing is like bitcoins. The more people explain it to me, the less I understand.

Something substantial has to come from her emails for people to take it seriously. Unless it is 100% proven that her emails caused someone to get killed or she is going to jail for breaking a law, nobody is going to give a shit about this that isn't already trying to tear Clinton down.

Yep, like are we supposed to be upset that she didn't want us to know she was sending I can has cheezburger pics on her work email? I'm sorry, 99.9% of American people are too busy looking for change in the couch cushions to give a flying fuck about her emails.

Wasn't handing them the emails entirely voluntary anyway?
She technically did hand over the emails though. Because they found the current email chain through recovering data from the server she handed over.
It's not a big deal thus far in the context of her bid in the presidency, because the only people that care didn't liked her that much in the first place. I doubt many Clinton supporters jumped away when the emails came up. It's just too low key. The public needs something of substance to get angry.
She is currently the candidate most people believe to win. She has the strongest support in the democratic party and seeing the clowncar on the other side with Trump as best runner atm, she might have a very good chance to win the election. Of course many things may change over the year of course.

The People obviously need a new Benghazi phantom.
Misread your post initially. Sorry. I would assume that the general public simply doesn't give a crap. Not surprising really.

This won't turn a single democrat away to vote republican.
Anyone who knows me by now should realize I have absolutely no business discussing U.S politics (90% of what I say on it is nonsense tbh) but I am certain that your average voter could not give less of a shit about email servers. It's the content that matters, so until there's a smoking gun, I'd cool it.
Biden is not even in the race. Give a thumb for brother Sanders.

She went to Yale Law. She was a partner at the law firm she worked for.
It really depends on what her definition of work entailed. As a politician and as Sec. Of State, I'd assume that line blurs.
She has a weak Democratic field to compete against. Based on name recognition alone, she'll win the nomination.
Plus, first female President.
Show me a current GOP presidential candidate that held elected office and doesn't have their own private email problem
I just don't understand how people don't see this is a big deal. What she did is insane. The Secretary of State using a personal email address for work, sending and receiving classified information? This is something that just can't happen.
She's either incredibly stupid, or in deep on some very dodgy shit.

Unless the Republicans can point to her emails getting someone killed directly, nobody is going to give a shit about this. Show me the consequences of what she did wrong? What are they? That is the problem with this whole thing when people say it is going to matter.

Article's got you covered
Some other highlights: the results of a Fox news poll, the existence of email sent before Clinton's term as Secretary of State

Out of curiousity, how do you believe her predessecors handles their email?

Ah the old "Republicans can't statistically win ever"; I wonder if Americans ever think that if that is true then it shows the huge issues with a two party state.
Look; all the people who voted Obama are not hard nosed Democrats. He got through the first election on hope and the second on basically more of the same. People don't like the uncertain but next election both presidents will offer uncertainty - its a much more level playing field.
This will do harm and if the other candidate makes themselves look more competent and with better judgement - you really believe some Democrats might not move over considering their choosing a commander in chief rather than their representative?
Its not about how it makes her look; its about how the other person can use this to contrast themselves.

correct about everything
it may technically be a big deal, but unless one of these emails contains the plan for an attack on benghazi not many will care.
As long as she didn't get anyone killed. That's fine.
Its simply this - she should have known better. The impact? Was potential impact from security or a lack of audit over her email files. And announcing you handed everything over only for the government to find new internal ones? That's exactly why this is bad - it was poor judgement that now leaves an incomplete audit trail which in turn creates doubt.
Again to most she did nothing wrong but at the same time should have known better for someone in her position. That's where it can be used against her.
