"Clinton abandoned secure line to use home phone, new email shows"

The Hill:  “I give up. Call me on my home [number],” Clinton told then-chief of staff Cheryl Mills in a February 2009 email after more than an hour of trouble trying to communicate via a secure line.
“I just spoke to ops and called you reg line — we have to wait until we see each other b/c [the] technology is not working,” Mills said in another email sent at almost exactly the same time.
“Pls try again,” responded Clinton, a few moments later.
It’s unclear whether the two did connect or if they moderated any discussion they may have had to avoid sensitive topics while on an unsecure landline.
But the episode is likely to cause concern among critics of Clinton, who have previously accused her of resorting to unsecure forms of communication out of convenience, potentially jeopardizing sensitive information. Another email of Clinton’s, released in January, appeared to show her telling a top aide to remove identifying details and send a sensitive document through a “nonsecure” channel instead of via "secure fax."
“This drip, drip of new Clinton emails show Hillary Clinton could not care less about the security of her communications,” said Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, in a statement releasing Thursday’s email. “How many other smoking gun emails are Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators in the Obama administration hiding from the American people?”

Without Judicial Watch this would have just gone undetected. The feckless Congress, Issa being the King Idiot, need to be removed. Fixing Congress is much more important than the Presidency. The President is the General Manager. Congress and the Courts are the managers, coaches and players. You could have the best GM in history. But if he has horseshit players and coaches you lose.

What diff? She's the dark lord and she can do whatever she wants. Laws and rules are for other people.

But how does this disqualify Clinton as the first woman President?

It just keeps getting better, and the fact a lot of this mess comes back to Willie makes the necessity of a possible ticket change even more likely.
