"Hillary's email firm was run from a loft apartment"

"...with its servers in the BATHROOM, raising new questions over security of sensitive messages she held."
Daily Mail Online tracked down ex-employees of Platte River Networks in Denver, Colorado, who revealed the outfit's strong links to the Democratic Party but expressed shock that the 2016 presidential candidate chose the small private company for such a sensitive job.
One, Tera Dadiotis, called it 'a mom and pop shop' which was an excellent place to work, but hardly seemed likely to be used to secure state secrets. And Tom Welch, who helped found the company, confirmed the servers were in a bathroom closet.
Speaking to Daily Mail Online at her home in Castle Rock, Colorado, Tera said: 'I think it's really bizarre, I don't know how that relationship evolved.
'At the time I worked for them they wouldn't have been equipped to work for Hilary Clinton because I don't think they had the resources, they were based out of a loft, so [it was] not very high security, we didn't even have an alarm.

Place is irrelevant. It's the reliability of the hardware and software.

The fact there are likely backups is very interesting.

The story keeps getting better and the hubris keeps getting stronger.

Sorta like over at TOP.

The toilet location was key.

On the Five the prosecutor gal says the toilet is where the drug dealer keeps the stash in case the police come in a raid.

"Here's where we keep secret national communications, next to the toity, and here's where we keep your private tax records and particularly interesting emails, right under the sink! Your welcome, America!"

Well OF COURSE the drug dealer keeps his stash next to the toilet. That makes sense, given the proximity to the evidence destruction modality. This, on the other hand, does not.

The FBI thinks that there were 3 attempts to wipe the server clean and one flushing.

The "news" media are using every trick and maneuver to avoid blaming Hillary. It was either the server itself or her "team", you see.

I think a 2nd story bathroom is a lot better place to run a server business than out of your parents basement. A big step up as they say.
