45. Albright never even had an email account to begin with

so obviously she had none to turn over. Condaleeza Rice rarely used it, so of course she had none to turn over, either.

Colin Powell, in his own words, described how he had a secured computer on his desk, and one account for personal business, and another for State Department business. He also said he only used it for "housekeeping" such as "Where are we with such and such report," and "What is going on with this?"

Kerry has publicly stated he has two different accounts, and his staff maintains his personal one to make sure that something doesn't slip through the cracks that shouldn't.

Honestly, if you squirrel away a private email server in the bathroom, sooner or later somebody is going to wonder just what the hell you have to hide.
