What do you mean by this? That hey have private email accounts, or that they conduct official business through private email accounts? Both?

Both. The more important of the two being that they're conducting government business through a private RNC server. This is EXACTLY what Clinton did, only the server isn't at home in Trump's bathroom to my knowledge.

For the curious, this isn't illegal, PROVIDED that they forward any emails concerning governmental business to the proper congressional officer for archiving. Clinton did not forward all relevant emails to that office, and that's what created that scandal. George W. Bush did the exact same thing and 'lost' 22 million emails by the end of his terms.

Now the Trump administration, who made improper use of emails a major point of contention during the election, who had members urging Hillary to be locked up or even shot for treason are taking the exact same route as her. It's so blatantly hypocritical to attack people for this kind of obvious avoidance of scrutiny and then immediately take the same route. There's no reason to use a private RNC email for official government business aside from slowing or hiding information from being archived.

How do you know that they are conducting official, CLASSIFIED business through their private servers? Where is the proof?

Have they admitted that they are using RNC servers, or is it a fair assumption on our part?

They have to switch to secure accounts, and they will find security inconvenient.

Like the people with all of their passwords on post-it notes on the monitor
