It's an abstract of not commingling (or mixing official and business communications). It's CYA for anyone with *exposure*. After what happened with the Clinton's private life being investigated, Hillary's repeated "I don't recall" testimony -- it boggles my mind how she could be so stupid. If anything it gives the appearance of impropriety and shows her bad judgement.

No warrant is required for emails older that 180 days -- just a simple subpoena. Subpoenas require no probable cause -- they are used in discovery of evidence. All the more reason to not commingle your email.

It't not about commingling email. In the normal business world, your predecessor is not going to read every email you ever sent looking for legal issues or embarrassing information. In the political world it's just the opposite - The next Democratic governor of Florida is going to assign staff to go over every email the former Republican governor ever sent with the intention of embarrassing the Republican party. That's just the way politics works.
