Jeb Bush calls Clinton's U.S. State Dept. email storage 'baffling'

WASHINGTON Fri Mar 6, 2015 4:14pm EST

(Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush on Friday stepped up his criticism of Hillary Clinton, calling it "baffling" that she stored official U.S. State Department emails on a personal server rather than safer government systems.

"It's a dangerous world, and security would mean that you couldn't have a private server," the former Florida governor said in an interview with Radio Iowa on Friday morning. "It's a little baffling, to be honest with you."

Bush and other Republicans have pounded Clinton, the early front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, for using a personal email account for work during her four years as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Bush also used a personal email account during his time as governor but has released hundreds of thousands of the emails from that account. Bush told Radio Iowa he would not use a private email account if elected president.

At least Confederate General JEB Stuart didn't repeat himself with his affected moniker (James Ewell Brown Stuart). And too, it was Gen. Stuart's friends who gave him the name -- he didn't pin it on himself in a transparent effort to make himself seem "homey," a "down to earth" "regular folk" (Jeb and Dubya).

Those familiar with the storied career of the rebel Gen. Stuart will know that he is distinguished in a thousand different ways from that puffed-up dandy from Florida (via Connecticut) who's so easily baffled by the simplest things.
