National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden has said that Hillary Clinton's idea that her email server was secure while she was the US Secretary of State, is "completely ridiculous".
According to the Guardian, Clinton, in 2014, accused Snowden of helping terrorists.

Snowden said that anyone who had the clearances that the secretary of state has, knows how to handle classified information.
However, he said commenting on Clinton's choice of email server, that when the unclassified systems of the US government, which has a full-time information security staff, regularly gets hacked, the idea that someone keeping a private server in the renovated bathroom of a server farm in Colorado is more secure was completely ridiculous.
