Hillary Clinton's emails and server misconduct are the least of our worries. The fact that her server was receiving files that passed through or originated on the State Department servers is enough to know she exposed her private system to hackers. The US system is/was/has been compromised, for years, since before Hillary tapped in her new network. Michael McCaul, a Texas Congressman and Chairman of The House Committee On Homeland Security called Clinton "careless" and said she "potentially did harm" to national security. Earlier this week McCaul said this:

One thing is clear from FBI Director Comey's announcement today—Secretary Clinton was not fully honest in her representation of her use of email to the American people. She was careless with classified and sensitive information and potentially did harm to the United States and our national security. Secretary Clinton will still have to answer to and be held accountable by the American people.

Congressman McCaul has good reason to think that way. According to his website, the Congressman has been:

The Chief of Counter Terrorism & National Security in the US Attorney's office, TX

The Led on a Joint Terrorism Task Force charged with detecting, deterring and preventing terrorist activity,

Recall FBI Director Comey commenting "…we asses it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account".  With that in mind, listen carefully to this 2011 comment from Michael McCaul, Chairman of the US House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security speaking at a Cyber Security roundtable hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations (comment at 52:08) in which he responds to a question saying:

This is what keeps you up at night…the intellectual theft is awful and espionage, but the cyber warfare piece can be, the consequences far more damaging than a one-to-two man ISIS operation in the United States. This could literally bring down, you know, the energy grid, you know, the banking institutions, I mean, the stock exchange…cause chaos and enormous damage. I would argue they've [foreign governments] infiltrated many of our data systems already and can turn the switch off. That's the power that they have.

Allow us to repeat that one more time for dramatic effect for that is a heavily weighted comment buried an hour into a video with only 4,319 views:
