#1 High crimes and misdemeanors is a phrase from Section 4 of Article Two of the United States Constitution: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

I see at least 4 qualifying elements.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors:

The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct peculiar to officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, and refusal to obey a lawful order. Offenses by officials also include ordinary crimes, but perhaps with different standards of proof and punishment than for nonofficials, on the grounds that more is expected of officials by their oaths of office.

#2 IMO she forfeited the right to keep her personal e-mails private when she chose to violate policy and keep her government e-mails off the government server. If she had done it the way I understand people in positions like hers are supposed to, her personal data would have been mixed in with the government stuff and she could reasonably have some oversight people sort them to be held private from FOI requests, etc.

#3 Interestingly, she said at least twice in the statement that she "never sent any classified e-mails."

Didn't say she had not RECEIVED any, just didn't send any.

#4 She also said it was initially set up for the president. So he had a private server while in office???
