No one charged Colin Powell or Condi Rice either. So there's that too.
Did they keep government secrets on their private unsecured server?
1. The Clintons still dislike President Barack Obama
It's no secret that Clinton and Obama shared a mutual animosity toward each other while both ran for president in 2008. But as recently as 2015, it seems the anger the Clintons had toward Obama still lingered.
"I think Hillary can't believe she might not make it. It's the one prize she wants. She has everything else," wrote president and co-founder of Leeds Equity, Jeffrey Leeds, who is also a big donor to Democrats. "And she HATES that the President ("that man," as the Clintons call him) kicked her ass in 2008. She can't believe it or accept it."
That email was sent to Powell on March 14, 2015.
2. Clinton might have been prepared to drag Obama down with her
Leeds makes many appearances in the newly leaked emails. In another email, he tells Powell that "no one likes" Clinton, after the former secretary of state lost Maine in the Democratic primary to her rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
"She's got trouble too. No one likes her and the criminal thing ain't over," Leeds wrote in March 2016. "I don't think the president would weep if she found herself in real legal trouble. She'll pummel his legacy if she gets a chance and he knows it."
3. Even Democrats questioned Clinton's health
Here is Leeds again (maybe this guy just doesn't like Clinton), this time noting a conversation he had with Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse after the senator attended an event with Clinton.
"Sheldon Whitehouse, who is a huge Clinton supporter, said they were both giving speeches at the same event a few months back and she could barely climb the podium steps," Leeds said in a March 14, 2015 email to Powell.
Leeds had been responding to an email Powell had written to him, discussing Clinton's health.
"On HD tv she doesn't look good. She is working herself to death," Powell wrote. He added that "She will turn 70 her first year in office."
4. Powell didn't want to be Clinton's email scapegoat
Powell didn't appreciate being Clinton's scapegoat when it came to the use of a private email server. While Powell also used a private email account, he did not have his own private server. He used an AOL account (hey, it was the early 2000s), which was maintained by AOL's servers.
"Dumb. She should have done a 'Full Monty' at the beginning. She was using email when she took over," Powell wrote on Aug. 23, 2016. "They put the personal system in the basement a few months later… She didn't need any advice or ok from me; she was already doing it. I gave her written guidance on why and how I had been doing it."
He added: "I warned her staff three times over the past two years not to try to connect it to me. I am not sure HRC even knew or understood what was going on in the basement."
In another email, Powell wrote of another instance in which he tried to get the campaign so stop connecting him to her email scandal.
Sad thing it [sic] that HRC could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me to it," Powell wrote on Aug. 28, 2016. "I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton's party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these 'character' minefields."
5. Powell was really upset about being tied to Clinton's email scandal
"They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine," Powell wrote to Leeds on Aug. 18, 2015. "As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine."
6. Seriously, he was angry about the whole thing
When Democratic commentator James Carville wrote a column comparing Powell's emails to Clinton's, the former secretary of state under George W. Bush shot him an angry email.
"Dear James, you are the latest HRC acolyte trying to use me to cover her on the email caper. All these attempts and her dissembling has just made it Worse [sic]." Powell wrote.
He added: "She now is apologizing," before writing that "suddenly you surface to throw another log on the fire."
7. Powell is a quote machine
This one has staying power: "Everything [Hillary Rodham Clinton] touches she kind of screws up with hubris," Powell wrote.
8. Leeds and Powell had concerns about Clinton's campaign last summer
"HRC may be in serious trouble," Leeds wrote to Powell on Aug. 18, 2015. "And she sounds terrible thing [sic] to spin. Worse every day."
