Hillary Clinton's private server was stored in a bathroom closet


As the emails exchanged on Hillary Clinton's private servers during her term as secretary of state continue to raise red flags — just yesterday, 60 were marked as containing state secrets; today, it's more than 300 — the Daily Mail reports that those servers were kept in an apartment bathroom closet.
The apartment held the offices of Platte River Networks, the Denver, Colorado IT firm that maintained Clinton's servers. Per accounts of former employees which were confirmed by the company's co-founder, the servers containing State Department secrets were stored in the bathroom.
"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," said Tera Dadiotis, who used to be employed at Platte River. "[T]hey were based out of a loft, so [it was] not very high security, we didn't even have an alarm."
