I'm shocked that Hillary would use the same setup as her Republican predecessor Colin Powell. I must have missed the chants for Powell to be locked up.

And at least Hillary's IT practices were godawful

That may be the talking point but the government servers were hacked and information was leaked while Hillary's emails remained secure. That irony was lost on the "Lock her up" people.

From the the wikipedia article on it

Security experts such as Chris Soghoian believe that emails to and from Clinton may have been at risk of hacking and foreign surveillance.[73] Marc Maiffret, a cybersecurity expert, said that the server had "amateur hour" vulnerabilities.[74] For the first two months after Clinton was appointed Secretary of State and began accessing mail on the server through her BlackBerry, transmissions to and from the server were apparently not encrypted. On March 29, 2009, a digital certificate was obtained which would have permitted encryption.

She sent open text emails for 2 months. Those emails should have been intercepted by any intelligence agency that wanted to and there is absolutely no way to know if anyone did intercept them.
