Is there a difference?

You have always been able to use a Personal (not Private) E-mail accounts for Personal E-mail....you're NOT allowed to use personal e-mail accounts for classified information (as was determined, via FBI Investigators, as actually happening).

and no we don't know if the RNC was or wasn't hacked....but we do know that the DNC server was hacked by the fact that someone lost their job (Temporarily) over published, leaked e-mails.

so why don't we work in Factual Land and not What-If World.

From Wikipedia - looks like potentially lots of public work happened on the private server. We'll never know what was in those emails as they were deleted.



"House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform[edit]

The House Oversight committee in an interim staff report, released on June 18, 2007:[18]
At least eighty-eight Republican National Committee email accounts were granted to senior Bush administration officials, not "just a handful" as previously reported by the White House spokesperson Dana Perino in March 2007. Her estimate was later revised to "about fifty." Officials with accounts included: Karl Rove, the President’s senior advisor; Andrew Card, the former White House Chief of Staff; Ken Mehlman, the former White House Director of Political Affairs; and many other officials in the Office of Political Affairs, the Office of Communications, and the Office of the Vice President.
The RNC has 140,216 emails sent or received by Karl Rove. Over half of these emails (75,374) were sent to or received from individuals using official ".gov" email accounts. Other users of RNC email accounts include former Director of Political Affairs Sara Taylor (66,018 emails) and Deputy Director of Political Affairs Scott Jennings (35,198 emails). These email accounts were used by White House officials for official purposes, such as communicating with federal agencies about federal appointments and policies.
Of the 88 White House officials who received RNC email accounts, the RNC has preserved no emails for 51 officials.
There is evidence that the Office of White House Counsel under Alberto Gonzales may have known that White House officials were using RNC email accounts for official business, but took no action to preserve these presidential records.
The evidence obtained by the Committee indicates that White House officials used their RNC email accounts in a manner that circumvented these requirements. At this point in the investigation, it is not possible to determine precisely how many presidential records may have been destroyed by the RNC. Given the heavy reliance by White House officials on RNC email accounts, the high rank of the White House officials involved, and the large quantity of missing emails, the potential violation of the Presidential Records Act may be extensive."

Actually do we know none of the pages came from Hillary's private server? Perhaps there are some, after all very few people would know if one or several are actually part of the over 30,000 PERSONAL emails she deleted and then wiped her system clean so they cannot be recovered. Perhaps there is a message being sent to Hillary from the Hacker in order to influence her to take some sort of action whether it be financial or political in nature. Sure sounds like a conspiracy but what if it isn't? Seems like a big risk to let her be in charge and have access to control or influence all parts of government including the IRS and the NSA.
