This was found to be deliberate because she did not want her communications to be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests. She was issued four separate warnings and disobeyed all of them and dismissed an ambassador for trying to use a private email server when she was doing the exact same thing. Ignoring the almost criminal (the level of which is still being legally assessed), she blatantly lied to the public about this saying all of this was allowed prior to the report, report came out and she lied about lying about that by editing and changing her entire prior communication that was posted on her website.
She lied about not knowing she had been hacked, she lied about it being within her right to violate the law in that way, she lied about having received permission with the department to break the law, she lied about cooperating with the investigation when she was the only one of the last five secretary of states that did not cooperate, she lied about "not receiving any emails marked classified" when she knows that no state communications come marked "classified" just "secret", etc. This is just the most recent scandal, we are not even counting the mishandling of funds, Clinton foundation and all the obfuscation in while she was in senate or the whole donation for presidential pardon scandal/email scandal of 98.
Everything coming out of her mouth in the most recent Clinton scandal, and it is a scandal, is an outright lie. Unlike Trumps crazy rants and lies, Clinton's are carefully edited, prepared, typed and repeated for the world to hear. That's the difference here. Trump's lies are at worst a symptom of his grandiose stupidly idiotic and immature personality, but Clinton markets herself as mature does she not? Would that no make her lies premeditated? And would that make her lies not worse than Trumps? Taken in complete isolation, maybe not, but then again she has a long history doesn't she?

I agree with the fact that she and Bill have done underhanded stuff. Most politicians actually are the same in that regard. That's why most people leave congress to become lobbyists. The difference is that they were more high profile than most. Would I have preferred someone else? of course. The problem is that most of the good candidates are too young, or opted not to run (Elizabeth Warren, who may be the VP).
Did she do something really stupid with her server? yes she did. She even said that if she had to do it over she wouldn't have done it that way. Does what she is saying or doing, or have done threaten to destroy the entire planet? No, she's just a boring moderate politician that is about as inspiring as a piece of bread. She'll get turfed after 4 years if she wins and the party can reset itself (those people that are too young won't be by then)
Donald Trump's thoughts and suggestions would easily cause WWIII, which would likely involve nukes and end the world as we know it. You simply cannot have a person like that in charge of a major country. Period. End Sentence. Too much of a danger to everyone to be allowed to do the job. Trump is a danger to humanity itself. Hillary is just a boring corrupt politician. I don't know about you, but I'd take the boring corrupt politician every day of the week easily.
